No, girls don't have more romance options. Only straight (and bi ) girls have. Lesbian girls have only one companion romance actually.

One member of the crew Sera and one advisor Josie. That makes two.

[Battlebloodmage]

OH.

 

Well, I actually read that first post you made as being worried about the possible cause lol. Silly me.

 

I think there was some misinterpretation on both sides. Though I actually think it wasn't that bad of a talk.

Yeah, it went well. We discussed our opinions without resort to personal attacks or superior complex. It happens a lot on Bioware that it just becomes a norm.

You heterbros have Cass.  She's a baberaham and if you don't want her (because she has short hair or wuteva) then I offer you no sympathies.

 

Just for fun, my options, as i recall them, throughout the years:

 

NWN - Nobody or nobody

KOTOR - Juhani...kinda... or nobody

Jade Empire - Silk Fox or nobody

ME - Liara or nobody

DAO - Leliana or nobody

ME2 - Liara...kinda... or Kelly...kinda...

DA2 - Isabela or Merrill

ME3 - Liara or Traynor or Kelly...kinda...

DAI - Sera or Josephine

 

I remember how impressed I was when I discovered Silk Fox liked ladies.  The whole idea was kind of unthinkable to me at the time.

 

DAI has goodness in its options.  Y'all's gonna have to deal with it.

Josephine isn't a lesser romance just because she isn't a companion

[The Elder King]

Doesn't Josephine and Sera make two?
 
And if you are discount bisexuals for whatever reason, then straight and gay males only have one romance as well.

Her point is that Josie isn't a companion. She (I think?) doesn't like much the idea of advisor romances.

[Pateu]

Which is how it normally is for female gamers in almost every other game, including previous Bioware games.  Maybe us poor, neglected straight male gamers can give female gamers a break on this one, eh? 

 

Dragon Age Origins straight woman romances: Zevran, Alistair

 

Straight Male: Morrigan, Leliana

 

 

DA2 straight woman: Anders, Sebastian, Fenris

 

Male: Merril, Isabela.

 

????

[Battlebloodmage]

Jesus Christ, stop with that backwards logic.

 

Eye for an eye is retarded.

 

2 out of 8 romances for a straight guy is pretty disheartening, to be honest.

 

That's one replay.

Not just straight guys, lesbians and gays are in the same boat, so they're not single out the straight guys.

[Blackout62]

Half way through reading the post, just before the spoilers I realized I needed some backing music. "Come And Get Your Love" was apt.

[Pateu]

We're used to a higher percentage.

 

2 out of 8, out of which only 1 is exclusive to straight males, is probably an all time low.

[Sporothrix]

Oh come on, by that logic straight males and gay males have 1 option as well because IB and Josephine are bi.

 

I don't know what kind of logic you refer to, since I meant the fact that Sera is the only companion same sex romance option for women. Josephine isn't companion and I don't expect such romance to be as good and satisfactory as companion romance, for the very reason that no one would prefer long distance relationship over close one. Maybe she is going to be the fictional character you could fall for, but the fact that you would always prefer her to be companion says it all.

But it freaking isn't! Leliana was bisexual, and both Isabela and Merill were as well. Seriously, am I the only straight guy who has played the previous games?

[just.somebody2]

Yeah, it went well. We discussed our opinions without resort to personal attacks or superior complex. It happens a lot on Bioware that it just becomes a norm.

Of course. Even if we were arguing we should still be civil about it.

 

I mean, neither of us was being an a$$ so I don't think it deserved any of the normal treatment you get on the forums.

How so? in every DA game we got two romances for straight guy. I'm used to have two female LI for my straight males PC.

Yea sorry forget it. Shouldn't use the word logic. My bad ^^

[Pateu]

wait so they treated straight females unfair in the ME series and now they are doing the same with straight males only to make up for previous mistakes??

God damm impressive indeed

 

 

I'd say wait for the sales.

[Palidane]

I don't really care if a romance I am pursuing is bisexual, because it doesn't affect me.

 

I'm talking about the amount of characters I'll romance. That's 2.

 

Fine at first. But when you see that straight women get 4, then that's not fine. 

You were talking about "exclusive content" for whatever that's worth, which is actually a step up over DA2.

 

And have you considered playing something different than a straight guy? I don't know why you feel entitled to play the exact same character three times and expect to have a completely different experience.

[The Elder King]

Indeed. It's the fact that women get twice as much that irks me.
 

 
Bringing more inequality into it, just on the other side, won't fix things.

It happens. I'd prefer if everyone gets the same number of LI, and I'll always advocate this, but I don't think it's a bit deal.
Though as I said before, fair enough.

Dragon Age Origins straight woman romances: Zevran, Alistair

 

Straight Male: Morrigan, Leliana

 

 

DA2 straight woman: Anders, Sebastian, Fenris

 

Male: Merril, Isabela.

How about some older titles like Baldurs Gate II or Jade Empire? 

 

Indeed. It's the fact that women get twice as much that irks me.

I have no more questions.

What's that suppose to mean?

Fine at first. But when you see that straight women get 4, then that's not fine. 

 

 

But that's also not strictly true?

 

The extra romances are race-gated and probably highly plot-sensitive. You can't really count them as "whole"  as you do the core romances since they are restricted by race. I'm sure they are fleshed out but they are conditioned.

 

Also, females getting a little extra is mostly unheard of and we should really be encouraging this?

#NotAllWomen

 

Gay women don't get more.

 

And, just to clarify, it's not that you feel deprived of romances that suit your needs that irks you, rather you're fine with what you have, but don't like it that straight women have two more? Genuine question.

[Sporothrix]

The devs aren't trying to fix anything.

They're trying to tell a story.

 

Though apart of the minimum for the sake of giving everyone an option, it's a story of two straight men and their straight relationships...

Maybe more diversity in writing room could bring some broader perspective.
