Thank you so much!

It all depends on how he's written.

 

In Origins and 2, it's implied the Qunari are so strict in their beliefs that they themselves believe that they should commit sudoku if they go against the Qun. That mage from Act 1 comes to mind. However, Iron Bull seems to eat drink, f*ck and screw with everyone, even if they're a 'heretic' or 'outsider'.

 

I'm going to go with a nice passive 'we don't know jack until the game comes out'.

 

What about the fog warriors fenris lived with? They still spoke qunlat and tought him things of the qun, but they themselves were freedom fighters against the qun and imperium. It makes sense there'd be people who love parts of the qun but dislike others. Maybe you can talk him into being something like that, a qunari by culture rebelling against the stricter part of the qu.

If you play the DLC, the other greywarden mentioned that Cullen still has feeling for the mage warden. I just find a connection between him and the races popular the tower in which there is no qunari or dwarves. If there is not it then I can't think of any reason for why Cullen is story race-gated against dwarves or qunari. As people already said, preference is not a story reason.

 

Wait, which DLC? the ones from DAO? That's still over 10 years ago from DAI.

 

Remember, he never had a romance. He had a potential crush he KNEW was inappropriate and tried to nip in the bud.

 

And yes, I've said so before and so have others. The circle only had humans and elves in the tower (as far as we've seen in DAO). He's probably been raised among these two races, it's a potential "reason" for  race-gate. The point is, we don't know yet. And there has been no indication that the reason is some sick obsession, not to mention he's a LI even if the warden WASN'T an FMage.

Nope. All the examples of "lesbian sleeping with a man" trope were about characters who were introduced as lesbians, not bisexuals, but oftentimes I've seen fans of those shows pointing out at such argument, especially "but sexuality is fluid!" (which is funny because I'm familiar with the work of scientist who coined the term of "sexual fluidity", Lisa Diamond, and what she means by it is something completely different), ignoring that apparently according to the media it's fluid only when it comes to lesbians, and that it coincidentally it's also the old damaging homophobic myth about lesbians, that "they just need the right man" or "deep down lesbians need D".

 

I mean the characters are women who like women and men. They are by definition bisexual. There is no arguing this. The "They just need the right man" trope is absolutely bullshit though. Though somehow I dont think you'd be upset if a woman was introduced as straight but then was seduced by a woman.

[Battlebloodmage]

I just don't understand why straight females are being favoured with TWO extra options I mean you had the extra development time and why not include a special romance for males and one for females? instead they get two extra's

 

Is this some sort of payback just because males got more options than females in the Me Series?

I have been loving everything about the game so far and romance is "just" a very nice feature for me not what the game is about but I still don't understand this unfairness

Isn't that always the case with DA2 where females have extra option with Sebastian as well?

Yes.  Its all part of their dastardly plot.

 

Really though, the characters are more important on their own than the idea of them having to become love interests.  There was also always a chance there would be an imbalance with there only being three companions in the first place.

Depends on if you want to cound Sebastian as a full romance or not, he makes it as about .25 of one in my opinion.

[nici2412]

Just 2 options for my male inquisitor and one of it is (masculine looking) cassandra. So actually no option for me. I have to go with Josephine. Really dissapointed.

[J-Reyno]

Long ago I fully expected that between Cullen, Solas, and Blackwall, one of these would be available for a m/m romance, even if it wasn't the one I wanted most (Cullen).  I am legit surprised how untrue that turned out to be.  Even more so when there's actually two extra male LIs than female on the table. 5 male romances, and m/m couldn't get just one more option?

 

I guess I should have known better than to hope for the Upstanding Warrior Males to be anything other than straight.

In DA2, during Mark of Assassin.

 

Did they say that he's a LI even if the warden wasn't a female mage?

That's a bit of a overreaction there

[Alan Rickman]

Enough argument about Traynor--take it elsewhere, please. This is neither the thread nor the forum for that.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Nice ! I mean I did not care for the romance options but the cast looks good.

Still, I think it's important the the choice is still there for people to make.

I have to ask - do you really believe they would gate this (or any) romance interest based on having a specific origin for The Warden?  Or did you mean this as a hypothetical?

Huh, I never heard that.

 

So, absence of evidence is evidence of absence? Bit of a leap, dude.

 

We only know that he's race-gated. Not class-gated (kinda dumb if he were). If this supposition were true, then he'd only romance mages of the same race as the warden, whereas no such specification as been made and there is no class-gating. Also, that's far too much importance on warden's origin for the idea to really hold water.  (Edit: not to mention the whole "blown out of proportion from-crush-to-obsession" thing)

[Altima Darkspells]

Poor dwarven females.

Shhh, it's okay. I still appreciate and love you.

[jedicam10]

Thanks for the clarification, Mike. I'm glad I know the romance options because they factor in to my decision on my other playthroughs. They aren't the only factor I take into account, but at least I know in advance.

I was planning form my pro-Chantry dwarf to have a relationship with Cullen but I'm curious of how she would work with Blackwall instead. I'll know more after my initial playthrough but until then, it's nice to know what I'm working with as a mull it over these upcoming weeks.

[Random]

This is cute.

Just trying to combat some of the negativity because...who DOESN'T enjoy a good haiku now and then? 

[daveliam]

Poor dwarven females.

Shhh, it's okay. I still appreciate and love you.

 

And I appreciate and love Mr. Epler for working extra hours to ensure that they (and their gay kin) weren't stuck with just one option. 

[Maria Caliban]

The origin PCs exist even if you don't use one for a Warden.

Lord Cousland has two children and the youngest dies if you don't pick that Origin. The dwarven King's second child is sent to die in the Deep Roads. The dalish elf catches the taint from the mirror.

Cullen can fall in love with an Amell or a Sunara even if you don't pick them as the Warden.

[TheEternalStudent]

Still, I think it's important the the choice is still there for people to make. 

My point is he's just barely a romance. I wish I could have romanced him*

*rather his voice, his words made me want to punch him frequently

 

Also, I totally want class gating at some future point, specifically a mage who only will romance other mages.

Still more than us
