How the heck does that follow? The Devs obviously count Solas as a "full" romance option, meaning that he's going to receive the same amount of content as all of the other LIs. It's probably just going to be more specific and reference more of the PC's Dalish heritage or Elven mythology than it would if it had been opened up to more races. I'm personally intrigued about what sort of "story reasons" require the PC to be an Elf.

 

As for the last romance, I think it's probably going to be a straight race-gated Vivienne. Either that or a non-race-gated bisexual Vivienne and Cass is going to be race-gated.

 

well it just seems unfair that elves are favoured (and then only females) and get a very special romance

People here are more pissed that straight guys aren't getting more options or that gays aren't treated equally (regarding LI's)

but I'm more pissed about female elves getting extra treatment there should have been a "special" LI for every race

Why do you think Anders is unlikely?

Because a lot of people killed him and he seems to be strongly disliked. I'd be happy to be wrong, though. I think it's likely we'll see Justice again, but I'm not holding out for actually seeing Anders.

Bioware could easily be the first to do it but.... oh well.

 

I don't see why there should be more though, in games designed and marketed for the average player. 

 

If a game did have more same gender romance content then it should really be a game specifically designed and marketed towards LGBT players or fans of LGBT romance content.

Bioware doesn't like him. Like, "he did his part, he has to go". They also said that in their "headcanon" the best path for him is rivalry. And so his death in the end of the DA2, tis "poetical justice".

Chances are slim.

I'm not talking about the sexuality of the characters. There should be things with more gay characters than straight characters in mainstream media.

 

I'm talking specifically about the niche of same-gender optional romance content in games. 

Why should there be? Shouldn't it be an equal number of straight and gay content?

Why is it an issue? Everyone has the minimum covered, and there's room for one or two unbalances for the sake of story.

Not necessarily. If there can be then that's great, but I don't mind too much if there isn't so long as everyone still has some options.

Because it just makes sense to make things equal, then everyone is happy.

A fair point but I just assume that they'll likely announce Vivienne as the next love interest. That way everyone has an equal spread of choice.

But then again, quantity not quality.

Well I meant starting with the assumption they were unbalanced.

 

I think having exactly the same balance all the time creates a kind of stale uniformity, but I'm not going to argue it shouldn't be that way.

They will erupt not because of the numbers, you know.  :lol: Make them 3 Cullens or even more, but it won't turn Cass bi.

Anyway I'm biased. I want Vivienne just so I have more options.

That's the problem here, everybody wants more options than the other group, because reasons.

 

And at the end of the day, somebody isn't going to get what they want, and then the tears start flowing and the rage starts rising, it's just sad.

I want her too, but that's just me and I miss Morrigan's type. 

Though I don't even want to do it myself, but the opportunity... is alluring.

I hope I don't come off as snobby or ride, I'm just curious.

Why is everyone so invested in these romances to the point they'll actually cry if they don't get the guy/gal they want? We haven't even met these fictional characters yet. I'd just like to hear the reasoning behind it, hopefully no one takes the question the wrong way

Maybe Bioware will announce "Due to the delay we now have 9 LI, both Vivienne and Blackwall are bisexual and Solas is the race-gated character, enjoy :-) " ....

Why do people get so invested in movies that they cry at the end? Why do people like fictional book characters so much that they rage and scream when they are killed off? Why do people love anything? There doesn't have to be a rhyme or reason for it.

There's a precious thing in this world and beyond it. It's called "feelings".

What's there not to understand.

Fair enough. The difference though is we haven't played the game yet and thus don't really know the characters. Maybe it's just me, but I always end up romancing someone I had no plans on romancing at the beginning. Like jack in mass effect, or Merrill in da2. But I guess everyone's just excited

People invest in different things. The same emotional spark that leads some people to cry if their favorite character turns out to not be romanceable is what leads other people to cancel their preorders because the ability bar only has only eight slots.

 

You put stock into what matters to you. It's not gonna be the same for everyone.
