Since when do normal ppl wear scary dark eye lining. Since when do ppl have ridiculous hairstyle.They look more like real people now.
Of course a bunch of people will be... "dissapointed".
But that doesnt solve anything.There will be Josephine and most likely also Vivienne as options for straight male character ^^;
I dont really post in thosr threads. I like the anti romannce ones lolNo. Once we had an actual romance thread, but it was locked. This is the price you pay!
Anyone dissapointed at how this thread has been warped to a romance thread.
*looks at title*
... I think it started out that way? I mean, maybe it was meant to be about crafting or griffons or something, but I can't really tell from the thread title.
Alistair is a good buddy. Why wud anyone want him to be g*y?
I assume for the same reason that I approve of him liking girls. He's hot and funny.
I guess the days of dude buddies are over. Everytime u want to be friendly with a guy, they wud think ur hitting on them.
Fortunately, video games make this even easier than it is in real life. If you want to be platonic buddies with a dude (as opposted to the, uh, other kind of buddies) then you just don't hit the options next to the little heart. Simple!
There has to be variety. They cant all be gays. Jeez, give the man a break.*looks at title*

Since Alistair was straight in canon, I'm not sure I see the problem here. If someone people want to mod him to be gay or bi, why not? It's their game.
DAI will have straight, bi and gay characters, so it's not really an issue there either.
....and there was a thread where ppl wanted to kill....Andraste_Reborn. Becareful.
That was probably about the dragon.
People get us mixed up all the time.
No. Herald of Andraste. The title. People declared war on her for that.

I seriously just want someone to explain why they all have such intense eye make-up. What is with the raccoon eyes, people? They'd all be so much prettier without all that black soot on their faces.
When it comes to variety I personally think less is more.
To elaborate.
I'm straight male so I'll focus on females.
In DAO we have Morrigan and Leliana. They have a lot of similarities. They are both along for no apparent reason, they are both feminine (and femme fatale for that matter), a bit cryptic. Both like to tell you stories. Observing their differences (beyond the obvious) is interesting. Like for example Leliana likes to tell romantic stories while Morrigan prefers to talk about her mother. Morrigan getting offended by Leliana's attempt at educating her in fashion for example which creates another contrast. Morrigan likes shiny things, but what about clothes. Is it that she doesn't care about it, or that she is defensive around Leliana? That's intriguing. Morrigan is quick to bed, Leliana is slow. Another intriguing part. Morrigan, distrustful and antisocial doesn't have many qualms about it while Leliana which is a professional people's person does.
Sure it's not that difficult to figure out the why, but it's interesting to observe.
Also the way they change creates a contrast as well. Morrigan is pragmatic and finds her romantic side. Leliana is romantic and finds her pragmatic side (which you have control over). They don't reach the point of acceptance, but they are well on their way.and it will be interesting to see what happens in DAI.
Another great example is Dawn Star and Silk Fox in Jade Empire. They both care about the greater good, they both care about the protagonist. They both have manners and care about etiquette. Easy to find middle ground.
A bad example is Miranda and Jack. They can't find common ground for this to work.
Then we go on to DA2. This doesn't get reflected at all.
We have Merrill and Isabela. The only common ground they find is that one likes listening to the other's stories about her sexual encounters. I like Isabela's style, but I can't bring myself to care about Merrill. I help her with her clan but that's it. There is no thought process, no comparison. Merrill is totally uninteresting in my eyes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this design is bad, it's just not to my liking. I like playing my characters close to myself with variations. I guess this design is better for those that prefer to roleplay totally different characters so they have more options.
What does that mean for DAI? I can't know yet. Being bi or straight, angry or kind doesn't matter but I have a hard time perceive these similarities I describe in the characters shown. Cass and Josephine look like totally different concepts. The only middle ground is Vivienne and it's not confirmed for LI yet. I can see Cass+Viv and Viv+Josephine. Essentially if Vivienne turns out not to be a LI, I don't see myself caring about Cassandra at all. The DA2 Cass could work, but the new one doesn't, unless her character is different in the game than the trailers.
No given I haven't played yet. Also can you call it role-playing if your character is just you?
I assume most people play characters with some aspect of their personality (how else would you connect to such a character). I can't play renegades, the closest I can come is someone so sarcastic they can come across as apathetic. I can't play a conscienceless ass either. All my Sith in Star Wars are light. I just can't connect with an evil mindset (and enjoy myself).
I realize I'm not a mage who can shoot lightning from my fingertips, but I do essentially play characters who speak to some aspect of my own personality or I can't enjoy the game and lose interest quickly.
No given I haven't played yet. Also can you call it role-playing if your character is just you?
Yes. The basis of roleplaying is you taking a role through variations in your behavior. How big these variations are is up to you or the actual game. Playing yourself in a video game is like playing cops and thieves or house when you were a toddler.
Not really, quite a few of the characters look compelling. From what I've seen I'm not too fond of Sera's personality, but I'll wait and play. Dorian looks like the most down-to-earth person for now surprisingly.
Also can you call it role-playing if your character is just you?
Well, a lot of people cannot cope with a certain attitude and certain choices. And it's not like there's a vast varieties in the end. It's usually choice a which is ok and choice b whick sucks for most of the people. I.e. to kill or not to kill. It's a rare occurance when we have like 3 options or more.
And I can understand that. I can't sell Fenris or leave Isabella, for example, no matter how many time I'd play. I can't be an ass to Anders even knowing that all his problems are all his faulth. Can't make Feynriel tranquil or send him to the circle either.
Moreover, I don't even want to have rivalry path with anyone, even Sebastian thought I just loathe the Chantry and everything it stands for.
I just f*cking can't, I feel horrible. The only 1 game when I tried to just forget about it and see all different outcomes was Dishonored and it sucked so hard I can't even. It just doesn't feel right.
This.I seriously just want someone to explain why they all have such intense eye make-up. What is with the raccoon eyes, people? They'd all be so much prettier without all that black soot on their faces.
This.
Sera's dark eye lining will be used as a strategy to scare the elder one from back ti where it came.
That must be the plan, because I honestly think it just looks so silly.
Racoon's need love too.
I want a scene where I can take soap and a wash cloth to their faces. It had better not be a CC requirement of this engine to put on dark eyeliner.
I'm a little disappointed that Leliana isn't a love interest. But that's about it.
I always play hetero characters since I'm hetero myself and have a hard time playing gay characters, even though I'm all for them. Just not in my role-playing chops, you could say.
Therefore, I am uber-sad that I can't romance Dorian. UBER-sad. My only consolation is that we at least can be BFFs.
But I am not completely downtrodden, as I have been looking forward to romancing Cullen since DA:O. I'm agnostic, but romancing a character with a religious background will be an interesting path to tread. And Cullen isn't a preachy "Bow to the Maker or burn!" kind of man.
And when I play my Qunari mage I will have fun times romancing Iron Bull. Fun times full of MAYHEM.
So no, I am not particularly disappointed with the LIs revealed thus far. And there's two more to go.
My biggest disappointment is that the characters aren't all bi/"playersexual" anymore. I don't care if that wasn't believable or whatever. It's the most fun and convenient route for pretty much everyone. And games shouldn't mirror real life in every single aspect. Imagine what kind of boring game that'd be? A person with pointy ears casting fire from their bare hands at a flying dragon? Eh, nothing wrong. Eight (or more, or less) people that can be into both genders? OH NOES DIS MAKES NO SENSE
