How many of you feel like being put in the "Bioware Zone" (can't romance "x" because of Bioware)

...the only reason I can romance anyone in-game is because of Bioware....

[Jaison1986]

In DA2 I had no romances, Isabella was so promiscuous for my taste, and Merrill was SO UGLY and immature. At least Cassandra looks like a strong and intelligent woman, not so pretty, but I hope she have a little bit of charm.

 

I actually liked both Merrill and Isabela's personality, but I drew the line when it came to their relevance to their story. I had to choose between an notorious pirate that because of her actions caused Kirkwall to burn when she could have stopped it, and then later she happily makes an deal with an slaver to get what she wants, never mind her lovely flashback during the comics. And the other option is an blood mage that tampers with killer mirrors, make deals with demons and potentially gets her whole clan killed because she just doesn't know when to give up.

 

I have an big problem with Cassandra because of how I fell about the Chantry. If I romance her, I would feel like I'm stomping on everything I believe. So it all boils down to Josephine, who so far I don't find particularly interesting in any way.

[vutha_ixen]

not me Because DAI is a role playing game so I intend to role play.

I think you are my new favorite person. I know I role play to leave my normal mundane life behind. So the more different from the I role play the more of an escape I find.

Something we can agree upon....finally.

I can see where that would be viewed as inappropriate, but I think that was the point. And his tone made it clear he was just taking the pi$$ cause it was getting past her stern demeanor. *unladylike snort*

 

Haha, lets hope I actually get to it. (and please, I'm the classiest after Viv)

 

 

Well, at least he's discovered the Lamp-post now.

 

Spoiler

I know we meet him, looking forward to it. And yeah, I liked the way he looked and his Comic appearance.

 

Well, at least she tried to do the right thing? Kind of a big favor to ask for and Hawke is no moral paragon, even if s/he's a goodie-two-shoes, s/he still involved in shady-a$$ business.

Though I admit, I usually scold her.

He can take the ****** *All* he likes, as long as it's not near my boots.Or I'll Take those Antivan leather ones away!

 

Just don't forget me! -Awkward Flounder-

If my M-Warden could romance him, he sure would...

 

Spoiler

Squeeeeeee, I can't wait to see him. Almost want to make my Dalish/Qunari/Dwarf Inquisitor first. Since those Former, and latter are my most recent playthroughs. And the middle would be interesting.

And I would have preferred that we had the option to take the list for ourselves. But it had the list of *All* Qunari agents acting outside Par Vollen. So it's likely Iron Bull wouldn't have been in the game if we'd done that.

How about a more positive look on things? I can romance X because of Bioware. There are still a lot of options for either gender in the game.

 

There are always characters in games that you'd like to romance, but can't. There is no way to please everyone. I would've preferred Vivienne being an option, but we still have a very interesting character with her. She's not out of the game, there's still the friendship path. Plus the Grey Warden angle could be quite interesting with Blackwall. Also, on the plus side for me personally, now that Vivienne won't be an option, I won't have to choose between her and Josephine.

Hahahaha! These two gifs together are amazing

Is that not the of the role playing game my friend.

I could write a thesis on the relationship between the rise in popularity of role playing games and the advent of the millenial generation.  There's a distinct connection there. But that is a story....for another time.

[PunchySporkk]

Something occurred to me that I haven't seen anyone mention yet (although I also haven't read all 54 pages).  Originally, straight ladies would have had Blackwall and Iron Bull... who was race gated at the time when they would have been deciding what to add with the extra year/resources.  If they hadn't had that extra time, straight ladies may have been short changed yet again.  So it makes sense that they would have tried to even that out, and since both Cullen and Solas were also going to be race gated, giving us 2 extra (but restricted) options wasn't so overkill.  Then Epler did his hero thing, made the IB available for all, and straight girls wound up coming out ahead.

 

I am sorry for anyone who didn't get the romance they were hoping for, but I'm also super confused.  We barely know these characters at this point, and in many cases don't even have great pictures of them.  Don't reject them before you even meet them!

 

Personally I am beyond excited.  I can't even begin to decide who my first love will be; it changes daily.  November can't come soon enough!

Your post makes sense until we consider that gays were in the same spot, and yet neither extra LI is bisexual.

Exactly!!!!

This. Well said.

 

It's not like DAI started with everyone being romancable by everyone, and then the devs starting cutting content until we got the current list. The romance options are _additional content_ to the game, and because of Bioware straight males get to have 2 nice romances (including one by the lead writer, no less).

 

Never at any point was it decided "let's take awake straight male options", after all.

But he likes those boots so muuuuchh. I would feel like such a fiend to keep them from him (also a good romance gift)

 

I'll add you to the list *Mordin-esque sniffs*

 

Hey, come on that was subtle and classy, you can't deny me making a good Lamp post joke.

 

And I'm sure even M-wardens had a lil' crush if they were so inclined. He's a fine specimen and fun to be around.

 

Spoiler

No, but can you imagine being a mage Quinquisitor and meeting Sten? Fking terrifying!!! However much I may like Sten, he's changed a lot or at least his duties have (comics)

 

You know that actually crossed my mind. I duno if Bull would have been part of the list. Wasn't it only non-kossith Qun who were on there and their families? Or everyone?

 

So many questions, Tallliiissssssssss, you gotta come back and tell us.

 

Also, I'm glad to see people talking about their possible future romances and it's pretty cool that the number of possible Inquisitors matches up to the number of Romances. I might try to match them so I get one of each (and throw in an ace later)

[LOLandStuff]

Just because I can escape real life and roleplay a character in a game doesn't mean I should hit everything that moves and expect them to jump me because I'm the PC.

It's like going on the internet and complaining someone rejected your advances in real life because you're not their type.

The internet would crash...Everyone will panic...And no one is gonna be posting on BSN.

Is that what you want?

[Ieldra]

Let me add...


*prayer wheel mode*

....that balance and faction representation are not the only goal, not even the most important goal, of romance design.

*/prayer wheel mode*

I really wish people would understand that and stop their b*tching about not being represented enough. I'm among one of the groups with the fewest options considering my RL orientation, and I'm perfectly fine with things overall. If I want to romance X in a game, I play someone who can romance X. Period. I won't lose any important parts from playing someone different from me in an RPG (!).

[Ray561]

I agree its very unfair
I really liked everything I have seen so far from the game and I will definitely buy it BUT they really screwed up with the Romances this time with favouring straight females and screwing over all the rest (not only straight males but also gay males &females)

Would it really have been that bad to make Solas bi ? or Blackwall?

Nope not according to Bioware it seems one group is always favoured instead of fixing it with DA:I and providing equal

options they just moved the problem to another group great fixing Bioware!!

Yep I'm still pissed and Allans comment didn't make anything better

And yet I actually find Solas romance interesting now that hes gated to female Elves and making him and black wall bi would not have solved the problem at all Technically. 

[Pierce Miller]

To clarify I'm sure the romances we have will be great, especially Cassandra

[Ray561]

no they didn't give US extra content but only the straight females the rest (the straight males and also the gay males & females were screwed over)

We have not been screwed over Grow up with the "they have more candy than me crap".

[PunchySporkk]

Your post makes sense until we consider that gays were in the same spot, and yet neither extra LI is bisexual.

 

Yeah, you definitely have a point.  I thought about going back and adding gay men into all of that (since gay women weren't affected by IB being made more available), but then breakfast took precedence.

 

Oh and I should stress that I wasn't trying to say that Bioware was only trying to keep it equal, but rather that it wouldn't have been so hugely disproportionate as compared to straight male options.

No we can start wondering who is going to be the Black Sheep romance, my money is on Solas.

I'd feel like a fiend if I took the Dalish leather gloves that remind him of his mother. I couldn't do *that*, totally fine making him go without his boots. He'd probably find it a kinky punishment... Nevermind then.

 

Muahah, your Lamp post joke was quite classy - just being purposely snobby.

 

My Dalish or Mage might have had a crush - since he was so charming, if a little air-headed. The whole

"I'm sorry I never told you I was a Royal Bastard, and Sole Blood heir to the throne."

True, though I think that just meeting Sten would be awesome - and I don't think a Mage-Nari-quisitor would care much. Since they're Vashoth/Tal'Vashoth, might not know the hierarchy

And I think he might have been on the list - If I'm not mistaken, he's not exactly subtle about his loyalties.
