I can imagine something like a Citadel DLC for Inquisition, which I think had a non-party plot where you shoot people, but was really about the party where you hang out with your friends.

It seems like it was a hit with ME3, so I could see them doing something like that, yeah. Hopefully this time with somewhat less date rape.

It could Definitely be done. Just have them throw a party at Skyhold or go to a tavern.

I have to say Solas getting both race and gender gated had one positive result for me, it pretty much took Sera off the table for being race gated. Really doubt they are going to race gate both elves and two female only romances.


Heh, same here. I took the Solas news to mean there's less of a chance that Dorian will be gated. I guess I should thank Solas for that.

If it turns out that Dorian IS gated though and the last LI is Vivienne, then I would be elated for the people that wanted her, but at the same time, dejected for the gay male demographic.

A culture which they know almost nothing about and yet cling to hopelessly.

 

The Dalish have information on their lore (hence why they know that Arlathan and Elvhenan existed), on the Creators, about the war between their gods and the Forgotten Ones, the imprisonment in the Eternal City, about the myriad of spirits of the Beyond, and a number of other things. It's more than a little disingenuous to say the Dalish know almost nothing.

 

Reminds me of that scene in Witch Hunt when you are trying to translate that elven symbol in the Circle tower library and the Dalish elf companion you're with gets interrupted by a human mage who translates it for you as "mirror." and one of your dialogue options is "Your keeper couldn't even translate the symbol for mirror?"

 

You do realize Ariane points out that the Circles played a part in the fall of the Dales and took elven tomes and artifacts after the elves were defeated, right? Finn knows because he perused an elven tome that was taken from the elves after their homeland was sacked.

 

It kinda made me laugh. I'm hoping since we are forced into playing a Dalish elf if we choose elf we can be one who is extremely critical of the Dalish...

 

I'm looking forward to playing as one of the People. I find their culture and religion very interesting, and I respect their refusal to surrender their beliefs despite the hardship they have to endure to maintain it. Although, since I plan on playing as a male Dalish, there doesn't seem to be a romance option who would work with my elven mage; the cultural differences seem too great.

I can't play a Circle Elf which sucks because I wanted to play a Mage who was Pro-Elf Liberation and Pro-Mage liberation.

"If all people aren't free, no one is free."

Yeah I highly doubt Dorian will be gated, he seems to be the most progressive of the bunch

I will be deeply upset if Dorian is gated from qunari since I've made the mistake of getting way to attach to this PC and I really can not see him with Iron Bull. I need to stop getting so attached to Inquisitors I make.

But open-minded-ness is not related to sexual attraction.

Not as likely to sexual orientation, meaning gender. With race, it depends. It can be related, or it can be a purely physical thing. With Solas, we'll see how it pans out. I don't even know what they're planning with him. Can't even guess. I wouldn't be surprised if Vivienne's gates are a power issues, if she turns out to be an LI, for example.

I think Solas was sort of a artistic thing that most elves are HUGE on marrying within their species but Merril wasn't and neither is Sera.

So they had Solas be a Elf-only romance to show, "Yes, this is a big deal."

I treat gender and race species on exactly the same level when talking about sexual orientation.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean...

 

Okay I'm sure, I don't understand what you mean :P

It's an establish part of elvish lore that in-universe, those elves who marry outside their species or have interracial relationships are shunned by the rest of their race. They are treated with disdain and their children are not acknowledged as elves (because Alistair and other half-elves appear totally human). In short, being only a Elf lover just reinforces this lore.

 

In Sera's case, it probably doesn't matter because she's not going to be having kids anyway.

Merril mentions this was a big impediment to her and Hawke and required YEARS to get over.

just cause Solas was heavily restricted doesn't mean the other race gate is THAT restricted, it will either be one of the male only romances or the one that hasn't been announced, my money is on the one not announced

Romance between different races are supposed to be somewhat rare in Thedas.

I'm not talking about sex , I mean a relationship.

 

Solas would be the first to reflect that.

As long as you recognize that the vast majority of people do not consider racial preferences to be on the "same level" as sexual orientation.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if most elves/humans are Mages since this sort of thing is social suicide.

And that's CITY elves.

Dalish elves? They probably shoot the mother and child full of arrows.

The fact remains, you can be open-minded and have set preferences when it comes to relationships.
