I actually like character with defined sexual orientation and race-gated romance are fine to me because it gives me an excuse to play as other races and increase replay value to know companions are going to be reacting differently to me.

I plan on trying each female LI at least once.  That include rolling a Girlquisitor for Sera.

Yeah pretty much. I was actually going to use my female elf to romance Sera first but after I found that Solas is exclusive to female elf. I decided that I will make my female elf Inquisitor romance Solas instead and decided to make another Inquisitor (female human) just to romance Sera instead.

I am curious how the feelings here are divided amongst people who play the game multiple times, and people 'in my boat' who only play the game once.

I think it would be very unrealistic for any character to date a protagonist that looks like Mike Laidlaw's Beauty. But the sex scenes would be funny as hell.

[Melcolloien]

I like that we have race-gated LI's now and I would like to see some class restrictions as well, as long as it makes story sense of course!
But as someone mentioned; in DAII, that you can be with Fenris as a blood mage?
I think it would have been better story wise (well if DAII had a good development time to begin with of course...) if Fenris would have broken up with you if you had chosen blood magic.
I also want there to be a point story wise when you choose your class, not just "oh you are level 7, here you go, pick one!"
I liked the system in DA:O where you unlocked them one by one and then they stayed unlocked. But it would have been fun to make them mean a little bit more.

 

Anything that makes the story deeper is better to me.

It makes it a bit more realistic as well.

 

Not all people are willing to date both genders in real life, some white people would never date a black person (let's not jump to rasicm straight away, I am talking about simply not finding them attractive here) and vice versa. Some people dislike beards, others love them and so on and so forth.

Maybe we don't need characters to be "beard-gated" though
So in conclusion; I like them to have a sexual orientation instead of all people being Bi, I like that some are race-gated and I would like to see some being class-gated as well.

 

And this is roleplaying, the fact that my standard human, female duel wielding rogue can't have 3 of them pushes me into playing as something else

I tend to be a one play-through kinda guy for most games. The Dragon Age series is my one exception more or less, but it was kind of torture for some swathes of my 3rd play-through. So much of the content is the same from play-through to play-through. Consequently, I always consider my 1st play-through as my favorite.

 

That's why I don't want crazy gating. Just my luck, I'll pick some combo that gets no LIs, or gets one of the ones I can't stand (and there always is one) and nothing else. Or gets the Ice Queen romance and a weak Romance added to pad the numbers. Which mars what was supposed to be my most remembered, enjoyable play-through. 

[wright1978]

Not a fan of any of these gates being used.

[Lieutenant Kurin]

I dunno. The problem I see with class gating is that if any are class gated, it would probably be against mages (templars aren't a class)... I think it'd be too many gates at once probably.

[coldflame]

Don't really care. I was hoping for only two romances, a female dwarf and a female qunari. Safe to say got neither of them. Seriously have no clue who my dwarf main will romance when I play Inquisition.

Why don't you romance yourself?

[Uprising]

I like the new system. I'm looking foward the discussion I'll have with Solas (playing HF), or Cullen (as QF).
When you get to know someone his look become less important, but finding someone too ugly will in most case prevent you from falling in love (Friend zoned : p).
In DA it is not a question of looks, but a REAL question of RACE. So in one case the devs prepared some really good discussion to answer the "whys". In the other, we will get some superficial answer like we can get IRL, a girl too tall, a guy too skinny etc.

If we get the superficials answers, I'll go against this concept. Because thats just not the kind of realism I'm seeking in a game.

[Jagrevi]

"Why don't you romance yourself"

 

That seems a little unnecessarily mean spirited, if I'm reading that right. In fact, I think having a Dwarf-Only Dwarf romance might be an acceptable way to get past the development team's ... uncomfortableness with Dwarf LIs, which I always found kind of unfortunate.

[Faerlyte]

Under some circumstances class-gating could be acceptable, if it has to do with that particular character's personality. Certain attitudes don't mix obviously. I've never been bothered about sharing LI's with other orientations, but I suppose it does bring more depth to the characters themselves to make them gender-gated. 

 

Race-gating, if done in such a way that you simply can't romance or flirt with them, might work. But, if it becomes a matter of that character's preference, or if they expressed an opinion about not having interest in other races, that character would never be in my party again. It might add 'depth' to that character, but it is not the sort that I want anything to do with. 

[Rawgrim]

The companions and love interests are real people (within the game of course) and they have their own tastes, motivations, backgrounds and all that. That makes the gameworld feel more real and belivable. Even though my dwarven inquisitor won't be able to romance the one I, the player, find the most interesting. It also adds lots to the replay value of the game, and it will certainly make me want to try out different classes and races later on.

[Rawgrim]

The thing with class is that now we are going into prejudice.

 

Which is interesting.

 

However, it would be cool if that character developed to overcome that prejudice.

 

If not. Then fine, cool.

 

My fine-mage dick didn't want yo' stinkin' Templar ****** anyway,

 

It would be cool if certain LIs were more difficult to romance with certain classes or races. Like a mage LI would be very very difficult to romance as a templar or something, but not impossible. But the same LI would be easy to romance with a mage.

Sebastian was straight and the others were BISEXUAL, not playersexual.

Well, originally it was: 

 

1)Anders, Merrill: Ambiguous

2)Fenris, Isabela: Bisexual

3)Sebastian: Heterosexual

 

But then this year they decided to add Group 1 to Group 2.

Anders wasn't really ambiguous though, he hints that him and Karl was lovers and he showed attraction to woman in DAA

True, but I remember him being mentioned as one of the ones whom was left unspecified or however one of the devs phrased it.

You sure? Because I remember him being mentioned as always meant to be Bisexual since DAA

Their "official position" has changed over the years.

I recall the "ambiguous" thing being said for Anders here, never saw it for Merrill.

 

Although, as it's stated in that post, their sexuality doesn't just change according to the player, so really, once you knew they swinged both ways there was no ambiguosness left.

With your link, do you mean somewhere in the thread or the article in the OP?
