Because it was inevitable, here's the next itteration fo the thread.

 

Heres the list of romance options.

 

SPOILER WARNING! This post reveals all of the possible romance options that players will have in the game. If you want to keep the mystery alive until November, be forewarned. If you’re ready to find out now, keep reading!

 

.

Let’s take a moment to talk about romance in Dragon Age: Inquisition, shall we?

 

It’s quite valid to ask, “Why reveal which characters can be romanced at all? Isn’t it better to leave the mystery and let players discover the romances as they play?” While some players understandably prefer to start games completely unspoiled, the truth is that DA:I is huge. The story takes a great deal of time to unfold, as do the relationships players develop with followers. As a result, you could play the game for a significant length of time before discovering that a follower isn’t interested.

 

Again, many prefer that kind of discovery. Many players also have no interest in romancing anyone, and we’ve designed each follower to have a rewarding story arc for players who choose to engage with them, romantically or not. We’ve come to realize, however, that for many players, romances are an incredibly important feature—one in which we’ve invested a great deal of development time—and they prefer a heads-up to having their hearts set on a particular character, only to end up disappointed.

 

To preface this information, a few words on our design goals for romances: First, we want to offer choice to our players. This doesn’t mean that all choices are available to everyone—it means that no matter what type of character you choose to play, more than one possible romance option will be available. This doesn’t guarantee that a player will find a particular character to be personally appealing—which could be the case even if every character in the game could be romanced by anyone—but it ideally lets each player know they’re not an afterthought in our development process.

 

Second, we want our characters to be internally consistent. Every major DA:I character has a story arc, personal goals, and thoughts on how your journey together has evolved; sometimes a romance arc doesn’t make sense for them, sometimes it does. Either way, we aren’t trying to justify why a character can’t be romanced—we’re looking at how a romance with that character would make sense according to the rest of their story, and why that romance will strengthen an interesting story arc.

 

Finally, a character being eligible for a romance doesn’t necessarily guarantee that they will be successfully won over. These characters have their own agendas and opinions, and the choices a player makes during the game have a definite impact on their affections. That’s intentional.

 

With that in mind, we now reveal who can be romanced by whom. If you’re not interested in having that kind of foreknowledge before going into Inquisition, consider this fair warning and proceed no further.

Still here? Okay, then.

 

Here are our “core” romance options. They are available to players of any race, and fulfill our first design goal of providing multiple options to everyone:

  • Cassandra is interested in male characters.
  • Blackwall is interested in female characters.
  • Josephine is interested in both male and female characters
  • Iron Bull is interested in both male and female characters
  • Sera is interested in female characters.
  • Dorian is interested in male characters.

Two “additional” romance options were added to the game as a result of the extra development time DA:I received. They are more limited in scope, largely for reasons directly related to their story arcs, but are otherwise the equal of the other options:

  • Cullen is interested in female elves and female humans.
  • Solas is interested in female elves only.

This means that of our core cast, Varric, Vivienne, Cole, and Leliana are not romance options. While we know this may disappoint some fans who were interested in them, we don’t believe that they lose out, as each character engages in their own meaningful story.

 

We can’t wait for November, when you can finally meet these characters, help them tell their stories, and explore this enormous game with us.

 

Mike..

 

I'd say to keep it civil and to not respond emotionally but rationally, and to be respectful of your fellow posters even if you have a bias against them, be they straight, lgbt, male or female, and yadda, yadda, yadda but you guys are gonna go nuts again so lets get this over with.

 

Discuss.

Ya, while there is disagreements and some high tension, there was no flaming or anything.

Well, they did pin the announcement thread, so this one might get locked as well.

I seriously can't believe this happened. I'm so utterly disappointed. I don't even know what to say. I can't believe they did this.

And I'll probably be banned for "Making a topic of similar nature to one that just got locked".

 

But it's going to be made anyway. Why fight it?

Yeah. This is Solas all over again.

 

The fact that they presented Cullen and Solas as extras due to having more time doesn't lessen the blow.  They chose one group to give 2 extra options to.

 

Also bummed that once again, the masculine knight in armor types can't be anything but straight.

Giving one demographic twice as many options is not okay and it's not fair to any other demographic. And Cullen gated to humans and elves? That's probably about 80-90% of female players. That he's gated at all is a joke.
