I have lunch in two hours..let's go by my lunch.
I have lunch in 50 minutes. Let's go with that! Unless someone else has lunch earlier? ![]()
I think blackwall will not be a LI. I mean, he's a gray warden for who-knows-how long? Maybe he's just going to do his stuff and stays away from romance. My money is on viv ( but I silently pray for blackwall... )
Maybe BW's romance would be similar to Thane's? Like romance ending with him going to the Calling. That would be very sad though.

I've already had lunch, now almost at dinner. Since I'm from the future, I can tell you that there hasn't been any news yet.

The lunch is an omnisexual romance option ![]()

Ngl Blackwall has huge potential for drama romance with all this Calling.

Hello there *waves* -- I've been away from the forums for quite a while (was still BSN the last time I was around), but I figured now was a good time to get back into the loop ![]()
After reading through the thread (though I admittedly skipped a lot of the OT stuff... and most of the *grrr* discussions), I've come to realize I'm weird about LI choice. While most people are talking about which LIs are available to their preferred gender/sexuality/race, all I was wondering was which romance stories Gaider wrote. In the past games, I always liked the DG romance(s) the most, so that's what I'm focused on. Guess that means my first two Inquisitors will be dudes, since I'll be going after Dorian and Cassandra before the rest. From what little we know at this point, I'm thinking Dorian first, but we'll see what happens. I'll get to all of them eventually ![]()
Alternatively, get Isabela to write you some friend fiction?
You know... yeah. That would be nice, actually. ![]()
They said that the gating is tied to story, and that Solas has a very strong stroy reason to be gated for female LI's only. With this in mind I struggle to see Cassandra being gated, because we already know a lot about her and nothing about her story that we've seen so far is a reason to be gated to anyone. If anything she seems more likely to be gated against mages than anything else, since discrimination against them was a large part of her story, but we know that no Li will be class gated.
If anything Vivienne is the companion for whom gating would make most sense given her story, but Gaiders comments implied that since Solas was gated she won't be if she is an LI.
Either Viv/Blackwall is gated or:
- Cass is gated, Viv is straight ungated
- Cullen is gated, Blackwall is straight ungated
- Sera is gated, Viv is gay ungated
- Dorian is gated, Blackwall is gay ungated.
Of course they could make them bi as well. But those are probably the conditions we have.
This is the best summary of the likely scenarios. I'm still operating under the assumption that Vivienne will be the last LI, restricted to human males. I don't think the devs will touch the two homosexual romances or the two heterosexual ones, But if they do, they'll have to provide another gay/straight romance for the gender that misses out.
So much simpler if Vivienne or Blackwall is racegated.
I'll have fries with that...
Cassandra looks like she wants to stab the lunch.
Doesn't Cassandra look like she usually wants to stab something anyway? Hehe
Cassandra looks like she wants to stab the lunch.
Of course, why do you think there is an sword laying right next to it?

My prediction for the final racegated LI depends on who the last LI is and/or their orientation.
If Blackwall, then either him or another male LI who covers the same orientation as him(ex: if bisexual/homosexual, then him or Dorian).
If Vivienne, then Vivienne. Of all the female LIs, she is the one that makes the most sense for a variety of reasons.
Is it just me or am I the only one so disappointed with these romances. For us straight females we only have Cullen and Solas who is race restricted. And for straight guys they have Cassandra. And then we have all these bisexual characters or lesbians and gay characters which is really pissing me off.
Might as well do a Dragon Age 2 and slap bisexuality on every single character so we can have MOAR. CHOICES. BioWare has been so good on their romances. From Alistair and Morrigan to Garrus and Tali ect. And the most anticipated game of theirs and we get this.
*gets off soap box. lays on floor. tries not to cry. cries.*
Errr, don't straight women have more options than anyone else at this point? Three to everyone elses two?

Let's look at the possibilities here:
*Straight Vivienne – straight men: 3 (Vivienne, Cassandra, Josephine), straight women: 3 (Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), lesbians: 2 (Sera, Josephine), gay men: 2 (Iron Bull, Dorian)
*Bisexual Vivienne – straight men: 3 (Vivienne, Cassandra, Josephine), lesbians: 3 (Vivienne, Sera, Josephine), straight women: 3 (Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), gay men: 2 (Iron Bull, Dorian)
*Lesbian Vivienne – lesbians: 3 (Vivienne, Sera, Josephine), straight women: 3 (Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), straight men: 2 (Cassandra, Josephine), gay men: 2 (Iron Bull, Dorian)
*Straight Blackwall – straight women: 4 (Blackwall, Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), gay men: 2 (Iron Bull, Dorian), lesbians: 2 (Sera, Josephine), straight men: 2 (Cassandra, Josephine)
*Bisexual Blackwall – straight women: 4 (Blackwall, Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), gay men: 3 (Blackwall, Iron Bull, Dorian), lesbians: 2 (Sera, Josephine), straight men: 2 (Cassandra, Josephine)
*Gay Blackwall – Gay men: 3 (Blackwall, Iron Bull, Dorian), Straight women: 3 (Iron Bull, Solas, Cullen), lesbians: 2 (Sera, Josephine), straight men: 2 (Cassandra, Josephine)
The bolded options (Straight Vivienne, Lesbian Vivienne, Gay Blackwall) would be the "fairest" options, since no ONE group is higher than the other three groups. However, the italicized and enlarged option (Bisexual Vivienne) maximizes the number of choices for three groups (straight men, lesbians, and straight women), with each having three options each. This means that no one loses an option (in this case, Vivienne) that they might otherwise have because of Vivienne's sexuality.
A lesbian Vivienne means that all men (straight and gay) lose out in numbers. A gay Blackwall means that straight men and lesbians only have one companion romance while gay men have three companion romances. A straight Vivienne means that all homosexual people (lesbians and gay men) lose out in numbers.
A bisexual Vivienne is the best option for the most number of people. Yes, I'm biased being a straight man, but the math does not lie. Granted, my criteria of "fairness" might not be the same as BioWare's criteria of "fairness". Furthermore, they might not be considering companion and advisor romances separately.
I'll have fries with that...
*One evening in Thedas*
Dwarven server: Wellcome to Alienage Burger, home of the Alienage Burger, may I take your order?
Inquisitor: Allright, everyone, tell them what you want. I'm buying.
Cassandra: An Alienage burger with fries, extra onions.
Cullen: Same, but no onions and a packet of sweet sauce.
Leliana: I'd like an apple turnover and orange juice, thank you.
Varric: Biscuits and gravy with your largest size mug of ale, and keep'em coming.
Dorian: Barbeque burger and onion rings with green leaf tea. Make sure you put the tea in a mustache cup.
Cole: *Looks back and forth uncertainly* A root beer float, maybe?
Vivienne: Your finest salad with blue cheese dressing, but go light on that dressing. Make sure to top that off with red wine vinaigrette, darling.
Sera: Strawberry milkshake and a hot dog. Actually, make that a corndog.
Blackwall: I'm having a breakfast platter. Two eggs, scrambled, hash browns and toast. And a cup of coffee, black.
Solas: I'll have a large order of fries with a small clear soda, no ice.
Josephine: A dozen nuggets. To split.
Iron Bull: One of everything, and extra on the kebobs.
*Everyone looks at Iron Bull*
Iron Bull: ....What? He/she said he/she was buying!
I really doubt Cassandra would be race-gated. Sure, she's a devoted right-hand of the Divine and is an Andrastian through and through, but I get the impression that Cassandra follows her heart more than societal prejudices. In fact, she's among last names I would have picked for a race-gate.
Anyway, I think Vivienne is going to be last LI, bisexual and race-gated towards humans only.
If that's not the case, the other likely prediction is Blackwall, bisexual and un-race-gated, with Cullen being restricted from Qunari. But I doubt this will be the case.
Errr, don't straight women have more options than anyone else at this point? Three to everyone elses two?
I wouldn't bother with this one. The poster seems to have some strict rules that the romances she would rather indulge in are with totally heterosexual characters.
Lol @ the lunch posts.
Burger makes an nice change to
anger...
I realise we need to go back on track to avoid spamming, but good to lighten the mood ![]()
