Well, that announcement kinda surprised me. Not in a bad way, since I like the idea of romancing BW more than Viv, but I didn't figure on the uneven gender split for the LIs. Shows what I know LOL
It'll be interesting to see the actual reasons in-game for the gating on Solas and Cullen. There's a lot of speculation here, but I'm curious if any of the suspicions are correct or if the reasons will be something else entirely. I'm also curious if the female quizzys from their gated races will have the option to flirt and be turned down (in a vein similar to Aveline's clueless reaction to flirting Hawke in DA2), or if the option just won't appear in the dialog wheel.
Since I was already working on my list for the 8/8 post when the announcement came, I adjusted it accordingly. The only one of these I'm certain of is the first one (DORIAN!!!
). I'm likely to change play-orders (and possibly other details) after my first play-through when I know more about everyone
Dorian: Elf DudeQuisitor
Cassandra: Human DudeQuisitor
Blackwall: Qunari FemQuisitor
Sera: Dwarf FemQuisitor
Solas: Elf FemQuisitor
Iron Bull: Qunari DudeQuisitor
Cullen: Human FemQuisitor
Josephine: Dwarf DudeQuisitor
I borrowed the DudeQuisitor and FemQuisitor from another poster, cause I liked it

Also, I'm sorry that so many people are disappointed (for various reasons). As is pretty clear from my list, I'm cool with playing whatever race/gender/sexuality is available. I know I get the best out of this, so I'm sad that so many other people are unhappy about things. Sympathy and hugs to whoever needs them.
