Hello. After seeing the new romance options for hetro male char's, I was wondering if you'd make romance DLC. In my opinion, they're too masculine or unattractive. Many friends I know agree with me, which is kinda sad since previous versions of existing char's are more attrative. I believe there are only two or three you can romance. Which is a low number. So, since I and many others won't be using the romance feature in DA:I, I was wondering if you'd have it as DLC and knock off $5-$10 the price of the game. Thanks.

Fool! Do you have any idea what you've done?

[Grieving Natashina]

You do realize that Mike Laidlaw said that there won't be any DLC characters at all, right?  My guess is that they might throw in a fling ala Tallis, but there won't be another permanent romance option like say, Sebastian was. 

 

By the way, you haven't been here long.  Plenty of men (straight and bi) have said that they are looking forward to the hetero romances in the game.  So really, you only speak for some men out there, which apparently includes your friends.  I'm sorry your friends feel that way, but they are a smaller sample size in comparison to literally the dozens (if not hundreds) of self-identified straight male posters that are looking forward to the romances.  

 

They also aren't going to knock down the price just because straight men get one less option than straight women do.  You have the same options as the LGBT community, so this seems rather asinine.  Not to mention that you are coming off as a little spoiled.

 

Finally, they have said time and time again that they have no interest in making the majority happy.  They care about making a good game for everyone.  Asking them to cater to your wishes because you (and your friends too) are voting with your wallet(s) is futile in the extreme.

 

So, good luck with that.

romance dlc? no...only story dlc with companion/advisor who would be a romance option.

 

I think you forget about that those 2 romance options are only  pro Orlais/Chantry/Templars humans, and by their nature romance with them is limited to only pro Orlais/Chantry/Templars inquisitor

 

so

 

1 human female templar/seeker who is a very pro Orlais/Chantry/Tempalrs

 

1 human female Orlais ambassador, who is  old lelianna girlfriend and who is a pro Orlais/Chantry/Tempalrs

 

there is no romance for non-humans and mages Inquisitor, and there is not representation of dalish, rebellion mages,nonandrastians like avvars/chasind, Nevarrans, Tevinters and Orzammar/Kal-Sharok dwarves. tal-vashots....we does not have any companion/advisor who represent them even if we know that with many of those factions we can make alliances

 

and there is lack of females(especially nonhumans) in our party.

You have plenty of options.   You and your friends have been conditioned by pop culture to expect a certain type of female companion.  And its hard for you to change.   I have news for you. More women play games than they did ten years ago.   There are also a huge amount of gamers in the LGBT community and they deserve to be represented as well. 

 

I know change sucks but its not 2004 anymore. Its 2014.   You have Cassandra and Joesphine. You can also roll a female and romance Sera. 

 

I plan to try them all. My sexuality is not the determining factor at how I chose to play this game.

Aww, you think this will stop when the game comes out.

Wish that would mean they would stop complaining. Unfortunately, I don't have that kinda hope.

I'm a straight male gamer and my favorite romance option was Alistair in DAO (followed closely by Morrigan but that's not the point). The point is, I don't care the number of romance options I have as long as they're interesting and add meat to the story. I'm planning on playing through the game multiple times with different characters with different beliefs, sexes, classes ext.

 

So I really couldn't care less about the overabundance of 'masculine unattractive women'. If you don't like any of the options available to straight male gamers play a female, try a homosexual romance, or don't romance anyone at all. Bioware added romances into these games to allow players to increase their immersion and see a side of characters that you wouldn't see otherwise, not to cater to every individuals particular desire. This is a dark fantasy rpg/adventure, not a dating simulator, get over it and move on people.

I like how all these types of threads revolve specifically around straight menquisitor's "lack of options," and it's focused on giving them more options "to make it better/more fair," when lesbians and gay men have the same number of options and are never given a thought in the "make it better/even" posts.

ok if we talk about numbers, will you want 4 lis options who will be only

 

Orlais Chantry priest

 

Orlais Chantry Templar

 

Orlais Chantry Seeker

 

Orlais Chivalier

 

yes numbers of Lis are the same but when gays and lesbians who have more options then in previous games and have really different peoples to romance, straight males have the same raced and minded non-mages humans females who is pro Olrais/Chantry/Templars

 

still this is not change fact that straight females have more options in numbers and in quality-differense compare to straight males

 

and that we have less females and nonhumans females in party

 

as we do not have representation of dalish, rebellion mages,nonandrastians like avvars/chasind, Nevarrans, Tevinters and Orzammar/Kal-Sharok dwarves. tal-vashots....we does not have any companion/advisor who represent them even if we know that with many of those factions we can make alliances

You know relatively little about Cassandra other than the fact that she's from Nevara(spelling?) and that she's religious, loyal, and having a major crisis of faith. If your Inquisitor can't influence her one way or the other I would be shocked to say the least.

 

We know almost nothing about Scribbles other than the fact that she knows Leliana. So using the 'fact' that everyone (who we have yet to meet by the way) is pro Chantry/Orlais to complain about romances is premature to say the least.

[Grieving Natashina]

Aww, you think this will stop when the game comes out.

Nah, it'll just be a different level of complaining.  At least then folks will know about the characters at that point.  The cycle goes on, but at least the theme will change post-release.  

[IAMTHEOVERLORD]

Informed complaining is better than 'something in a game that hasn't been released yet could be bad rabble rabble rabble' any day of the week.

she was raised in Orlais to serve as templar/seeker sinse she was no more than 8-9 years old..she is the almost the same as Meredith without red lirium..

 

for more than 20-30 years Cassandra serve to Orlais Chantry...and her "crisis of faith" is only because Divine was die...she is the same zealot as Lelianna and she put Kirkwal butcher Cullen with his Temaplars in Inquisisiton to be our general

 

Josephine is Orlais ambassador with some Antivan merchant(yeah those who connected with crows criminals) heritage and the most valuable she is the old girldiend of Lelianna for who Lelianna is trust and put her in Inuqisition

Wow! I really didn't expect this much attention. I have read all of your posts, and I appreciate all the constructive criticism. Thank you for taking time on replying to my post, but I'm still not seeing your side of the argument. Well, I wouldn't call it an argument, but you know what I mean. One poster suggested that a large sample size of men found the two romance options attractive. I'm sorry, but I can not agree. The majority of men are attracted to feminine looking women, about in their mid to late 20's, and with a healthy body to weight ratio. Now of course there are going to be some variances to a degree.

 

Another poster suggested that the preferences men have is because of pop culture. This is partly true, but biology plays a much bigger role in this. I'm not trying to take away anyone's sexual preferences away. I'd just wish Bioware had more options and handled this in a more responsibly way. To add, more body options would have been nice as well.

 

As a poster suggested, I sound spoiled. Well that may be the case, but aren't we all in some way? I work hard at a labor intensive job to make ends meat. I know it's only a game, but I like to get the most bang out of my buck. I don't think anyone would pay for an option they do not want on their car or house. So, that's why I made this post, so people could "opted out" if they didn't want to spend their money on a mechanic of the game they're not intrested in. Again, thank you.

FFS another one of these? People need to stop complaining about the romance options its getting old and a little sad. 

Agreed. TBH, I am disappointed that the only M/F option that I like is Cass, but you don't see me making entire threads about it.

 

And come to think of it, it's better this way. Now I don't have to feel conflicted about who I romance. I **** you not, one of the hardest decisions of ME2 for me is whether to romance Tali or Miranda.

[IAMTHEOVERLORD]

Comparing Cassandra who is stubborn, loyal (to the chantry or at least what it stands/stood for), holds no particular hatred towards mages and was willing to listen to reason, to Meredith who was an extremist zealot hellbent on dominating and/or killing all mages before the red lyrium idol turned her into a psychopathic, extremist, zealot with freaky magic powers hellbent on killing all mages is shortsighted and pointlessly stubborn.

 

The best thing I can say at this point is that if you are really so sure about your presumptuous views of DAI is that you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Tali because she's adorkable but I get your point.

 

I was disappointed that Sera was a female only romance but I don't doubt that I'll still enjoy her character.

Um, Josephine is not am ambassador for Orlais. She was an ambassador for Antiva if anything. 

And she is an old friend of Leliana, not girlfriend. Just because two people are friends doesn't mean they are lovers. 

And Leliana could have chosen Josephine for her skills as a diplomat which she is hailed for in her official character description.

Not to mention that Leliana does not hate people for not believing in the Chantry. Hell one of my favorite banters in DAO was between Leiliana and Shale (the incredibly snarky golem in case people have forgotten) involved Shale calling Leliana gullible and she still refers to Shale as her 'sister'.
