Hello all!
First off, I can't believe there's another one of those threads out there... Here I am, just browsing through the forum, avoiding the Cullen-ites (no offense, but they seem to have a problem with someone not liking their fav Templar^^) and then this shows up... Wow, wish I got myself some snacks^^
Okay, as to the topic... I really don't see where your problem lies... I'm a straight woman and I don't complain over the fact that one has only two straight male options (and one is CULLEN...O.O) and the rest are either bi, homosexual or racegated... As for the fact that pop-culture shaped men... it did... it really did. As a plus-size woman I'm speaking from experience here. Sadly, the same could also be said about women. Many women have this fantasized thing about the perfect guy (another thing that Cullen seems to fall into, at least in comparison to Blackwall, who is the other straight option) and is completely fine. I'm no hater or anything, to each their own I say. It wouldn't be my thing, but whoever likes that, sure, why not?!
But personally, I don't think that the straight female options are ugly or unattractive. We don't know that much about Josephine yet, so she could turn out to be a real jewel in diguise... Besides, she's a diplomat... Even if she would be visually not up to pop-culture standard (which I think is not true^^) she would be able to talk you into submission^^ I find that funny^^ And Cassandra... Well, everybody can romance a delicate wall-flower or a naive girl, but real women sometimes are pretty tough. Until you find a ***** in the figurative armour and see that they are big softies underneath. I'd be willing to find that out when I play a male Inquisitor^^
My advice, just quit whining. I'm going to play through DA:I several times, and I plan on experiencing all the romances at some point. And I'm not whining that Varric was not a romance-option either, now do I? (I actually did, but I never posted it here, I just annoyed the living daylights out of my friends *lol*)
Okay, now I'm sure that some will say that I missed the point, and I'm sure I did, but surprisingly, I don't really mind. To say that someone missed the point just means that it wasn't explained the right way *gg* And it's still early in Germany and I'm only at my first coffee, so cut me some slack *lol*

EDIT: Two paragraphs above, there'S a word that was blotted out by the system, because it sounds like a certain drug... I tried to edit it into another word, but then realized that word would sound racist... So I'll leave it at that and hope people get what I meant to say there... *sigh*
