Am I like the only one on the forum who thinks having two good options is fine?

Nope

[Master Warder Z_]

Good luck paying for that in America, my friend.

 

._. Good luck not going up your eyes in debt in the EU trying to pay it off.

 

*sighs*

 

Or waiting half a year and having all your sessions  pre scheduled in the UK or Canada.

 

You can't win period with doctors i have learned.

Maybe we should ask them to have ZERO options in DA4 to make sure everyone is treated fairly?

 

Hush, you!

 

SHHHHHHH!

No.

We're just not as vocal about it, unfortunately.

[Fizzie Panda]

Im a straight male and I don't know who to romance. HELP ME.

We are the strong silent type

I am fine with the available romances, and if I play my Gender and Orientation I only have access to two. However, I recognize that other people do not have my upbringing, have not been forged by my experiences and thus are not me. So I do not expect them to react to this news exactly as I would. Look at it this way Iakus, there are things you love in RPG's you would be upset to see taken out of this game, think of it along those lines.

 

Different things are important to different people.

If I were a straight male I'd be all over Josephine, from what we know of her so far. (I say this. For all we know she could be some kind of sneaky bastard)

Would have liked more gals to romance, was hoping for a bi Viv but nope denied. Kinda funny that the straight males are now in the same boat as the gays in regards to options, who would have thunk it?

It's good to have reminders that the universe does not revolve around me.

Honestly, I'm more thinking, "is it really worth continuing to play these games when they'll just more than likely lead to frustration and disappointment". I know you've been playing video games for many years, but I'm newer to this. I played Origins and I thought with ME3 and DA2 that we were making progress and soon things would be equal. I've only played a small handful of games, generally, and I feel like maybe I'd be happier to just.. not. I don't know if I have the same dedication some of you guys have, to keep going through this and just seeing setbacks. I look at this and think.. ****, maybe I should just go outside and do something more productive with the 50 hours+ I was going to dump into this.

 

I don't know, I'm not sure what to do.  

 

It will be okay, Morte.  I promise.  I would pat your hand and give you a warm beverage of comfort if I could.  I have been playing games (on console and PC) since 1986-87ish.  I have been through entire decades where even a gay character in a game wasn't even within the realm of plausibility, to where their rare inclusion was simply as horrid caricature 'ew ****** lol' jokes, to where we are at now in gaming.  The past ten years, specifically the past five, have seen an incredible leap forward toward being more inclusive and diverse.  Not just for non-hetero folks, but also people of color and women.  It's far from ideal and there is plenty, plenty more road ahead to travel, but it *is* improving.  What you're going through is what I call disillusionment fatalism growing pains -- it's that point you hit in regard to these kind of personal social issues and representation, where expectation and disappointment crash together and creates a "why do I even try/why am I even part of this hobby/group/fight" feeling because things aren't happening fast enough or 'good' enough.  It'll be okay, things will continue to improve.  Just continue to be visible, make your voice heard, support what content you wish to see more of, and all those other good things, and it'll continue to get better over time.

I feel for you Morte.  I actually think that Nohvarr's suggestion to take a step away from the BSN for a bit might be a good one.  I'm annoyed, but I know for sure that I'll be back for the next game.  Being a gamer (particularly an RPG gamer) is really important to me.  If I didn't enjoy it as much as I do, I might find it a bit too little payoff for the headache.  Maybe it would be good to take a few days off from BSN, clear your head, and then see what happens.  I suspect that your interest in the game won't wane, but if it does, maybe that means something.  Otherwise, we'll all be right here when you get back.  Probably arguing about whatever the next announcement is.

 

And for the historical piece, yes, it is getting better.  It's hard to remember that in the moment, but back when I started playing games seriously when Nintendo first came out in the US (29 years ago!  Holy ****!), it was inconceivable that there would be gay characters in games that weren't punchlines.  It's getting a lot better and, to be honest, Bioware has played a significant role in that movement. 

 

ETA:  Deviija .  Also, great minds think alike, huh?

Wait, what's being taken out of the game?

 

Everyone has a minimum of two options.   Everyone.  I can see being disappointed by specific choices given, but that goes with every game.
