I'm pretty sure the Valentine card was a fan creation that the devs thought was cool.

Spoiler

 

Does anyone think the fact they made a Valentine card for her is any sign? 

If anything, the text is a bad sign.  She seems really full of herself... I doubt I'd pursue her romance.  Maybe on the 3rd or 4th playthrough...

Tbh after what happened with Solas, if a blog post goes up tomorrow announcing Blackwall as a gated love interest with a dwarf fetish.....it really wouldn't surprise me XD (BioWare I want Viv plz)

[TheLastSuperSaiyan87]

Well we know the last reveal is coming soon, hopefully this week 

[mikeymoonshine]

OMFG I can't believe the one on the upper right!  People actually wear this stuff? 

 

Well sometimes but that kind of fashion isn't really made to be worn, It's more of an art form.

As far as we know, those were "official".  But they also featured Schmooples and the Arishok, so I wouldn't put much stock in them.

[Maria Caliban]

They were official.

Happy 100 pages everyone!!!1!!

I missed this.

Happy 100 pages!

Yeah just thought it was funny that out of the three companions to be announced at that time both Cass and Vivi had one but Varric didn't

It always comes back to this "gay players have less options in previous games/overall", no matter what the romance debate. I know it's both true and quite sad, but harsh as it is, I honestly just don't see this changing. Not in games aimed at a general audience.

 

If a Bioware game did have more gay romances people would be angry, and much as I hate to admit it, some of those arguments might actually hold weight. If a game does have more gay romances  then is the game being marketed towards a gay audience? You could argue that it is, and I could see why people who buy a game could be annoyed if it had more gay romance options and it wasn't made clear before hand that it would. And if it was made clear before hand then it gives the impression that the game is being marketed primarily towards the LGBT fanbase. 

 

Of course, the obvious argument to this is that the games with more straight romances aren't really being marketed to the straight playerbase. But then all games aimed at the general market are mainly being sold to straight people and people with no interest in same gender romance.

 

I stick to what I've been saying for the last few days: Games aimed at the fans of same-gender romance content are the solution when it comes to romance options. Then people who enjoy that content can actually be catered to and provided numerous options tailored for them without the people who do not want that content feeling that the game is being mismarketed towards them, since it's very clearly designed for and aimed at fans of same gender romance content.

 

Not that Bioware should stop providing as equal numbers as they can now in their mainstream games, but the way I see it It's the only real way to make up the difference in the future. 

 

Given that straight people consume the LGBT content, I disagree with the notion that if our game happened to have more gay romances than not, that the game would be any more "catered towards gay people" than any other game.  This is a slippery slope that would be equivalent to alleging that a game that happens to have a gay protagonist is being made for gay people and not straight people.

 

If straight people feel that a game isn't "for them" because of something like this, then it just reinforces to me that it's a problem and continues needing addressing.  Until people stop caring, that is the case.

Heterosexual gamer here-

 

In DAO, I explored all romance options, and went through paths both heterosexual and homosexual.

 

In DA2, I had but one playthrough;in it my character had a homosexual relationship.

 

By the looks of it, unless I decide to change my mind, my Inquisition PC will have homosexual relationships as well.

 

I'm all for options, so keep em comin'.

[CrimsonN7]

Could just be a coincidence or not *tin-foil hat equipped*

Hell when it comes to these LI reveals I don't know what to guess anymore.

Glad I could do my part in solving this problem; I stopped caring before DA:O was released. 

 

 

As for LI releases, while it's cool to know who the people will be before hand, it really shouldn't matter in the long run. You might want to actually meet the character first.

Yeah, but then what would we waste the day arguing and speculating about?
