well since the majority of the forum are females( at least the most vocal ones), you can understand why straight female got more options....i wish i would be like a majority and play as a female, but thats just not my thing and again we got all those stereotypes: iron bull is bi, he likes to sleep with everything that moves, cullen is religious, no way he'll swing for another team, and ofc theres blackwall too masculine too...uuum....to be bi or gay...here i avoided to make it sound dirty lol

Are you saying straight females got more options because they're the most vocal?

Also Leliana is religious and she's bi

[karushna5]

Man I would love to have Cass as a bi option *sigh* time doesn't heal this one Bioware.  Eh I'm gonna pursue her anyway, bro inquisitor on the ready. And in DAO lesbians and gays only had one option, that was it, so yeah can't say my heart bleeds for those who had it sweet all along.

 

You got two, gays got two we're even but hetero gals are the new special snowflakes in this game.

The hardest part about not having Cassandra is guys always dissing her. It feels like they got the treasure trove and don't care about it at all.  I mean they like what they like, but it goes to show one person's treasure is another's junk.

And no such nonce as "Everybody are BI". Good.

[ladyofpayne]

I've known that Black wall is straight. He is in Lady and Knight group.

[HuldraDancer]

I don't think Blackwall being straight has anything to do with masculinity. I'd say Bull is a hell of a lot more muscle bound than Blackwall is, and he's bi. (Not to say Blackwall isn't masculine...don't hurt me fellow climbers.  )

 

We would never hurt you Ceoldoren

My memory might be a little off, but I believe that homosexuality isn't frowned upon in the chanty like in catholicism. It's just seen as something 'unusual', as opposed to 'unnatural'.

Are we sure that Iron Bull hates mages though? I mean, if I recall correctly (not sure if I am), it's stated that he's actually sort of torn when it comes to the Qun, right? I wouldn't necessarily assume he hates mages before your play the game and see what goes on with him.

 

Let's just say that my Tal-Vashoth hates him and his organisation which wouldn't be good start for romance. Idk if there is option for him to leave the Qun entirely, if there is they might find a common ground.

[Uccio]

wow well i guess i'm in the minority then 

 

I can speak only for myself but yes, I have never liked short hair on women. Not saying a short hair woman can´t be atractive, it just takes away few points. In Cas case her butch appearance seals the deal. 

 

For once I would like to have Aerie type romance in Bio games. Merrill came close but her hair looked hideous (and that new elven look was weird).

[TheLastSuperSaiyan87]

Yeah I read the chantry doesn't really have an outlook on homosexuality and in Thedas all together is just seen as odd instead of immoral (I would like to say these are not my views on homosexuality and it is just from the source material )

[Ailith Tycane]

Same, I quite like the way Cass looks. She looks...strong really, I think that's the best way to describe her.

 

 

Then you have my most sincere apologies. I've always seen it as sort of a slur. So I suppose I'm a bit ignorant on the subject. Again, my mistake. 

 

The fact that people see it as a slur is the problem. They interpret butch to mean ugly or unappealing woman, when all it should really mean is a woman with masculine characteristics, either in her personality or appearance or both. Sexuality and attractiveness don't really have anything to do with it.

I don't even know how to be offended by this.

You're correct. I should of looked it up before I decided to open my mouth. I'm really sorry.

 

She is gorgeous though, probably has the most unique look of any of the Female love interests in the series.

 

(Still wish Aveline had been an LI...)

I reckon if she was a bi option she would be my DAI Leliana as in my only romance in numerous playthroughs. If we had Cass as an option I would have been more than content. I wouldn't have asked for more but it wasn't to be.

[Ceoldoren]

I don't even know how to be offended by this. 

If you want to be offended go look what she wrote in the Blackwall thread. 

[Maria Caliban]

Even if Blackwall had been bisexual, I'd feel better.

More romances than any other BioWare game (save TOR) and... two options for gay PCs? Consider me not impressed.

I do.

Hmm I always thought of Butch as a slur to be honest though the only time I've heard the word is in an insulting way usually towards gay or aggressive women. I'm not disagreeing with you though just to be clear I'm just saying that I've never heard that word used as anything other than an insult so it hear that it is in fact not one is quite strange like learning something new strange.

[devSin]

He has sex with her.

You got me there.

My intent was to suggest he never verbalizes attraction, I don't think (though maybe in the DLC?).

Yes, so much yes. I want to scream every time someone says that a Butch lesbian is a bad stereotype, like somehow showing them tough and strong and Masculine is 1) Bad because somehow a woman being those things are bad and 2) Rare, as if the idea that Butch lesbians are a bad stereotype isn't way more common than actual Butch lesbians.

Meh, ignore that person.

What if.... both Lels and Cassandra had been options? 

 

If you don't favor Lels I believe we can't be friends anymore.

I think this song is fitting for everyone who didn't get the romance they hoped:

 

 

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all

Same. I probably wouldn't have bothered with any other romances myself, I'd just look them up on youtube, lol. Now I guess I have to decide between Scribbles, Sera and Blackwall...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying it can't be used as a slur, but it completely depends on the persons obvious intent. If it is clear they are using it as a means to insult, possibly with other insults, that person is a taint, but just the term butch is not inherently a slur.

Why Varric ?....Why must you cling too Bianca...

[Aimi]

Yeah. Well, hopefully with this kind of granularity, each individual romance has more content. Having replayed DA2 recently, it's kind of disconcerting to see just how short romance plots actually are.

[CrimsonN7]

If my warden was dead then sure I'd pick Leliana but she ain't so Cass wins in this scenario.
