This is kinda off topic since its none of the games specifically.
So when playing Mass Effect and Dragon Age do you play romances as your own sexual persuasion only or do you try out the alternatives too? If so why?
I play male characters most of the time and choose heterosexual romances most of the time but when playing femshep I choose the the alternatives. And the choice is actually purely aesthetic.
You...you complete me.
Lesbians are awesome. That is all
When I said aesthetics I didn't mean that simply because they were female. Also every male/male action in the games seems very awkward, even more so than the usual "clothes on" stuff.
and was that last sentence aimed at me Dominus?

I'm not really fussy.
I'll pick what comes up as my fancy.
But really when it comes down to it, it's about the character I'm making.
If he's asexual he won't romance anyone; if he's gay he'll romance the same sex and if he's a hetero he'll go for the opposite. (Goes for women too, cba with she/he.)
Just depends on the character.
Oh btw.
Batou is awesome.
I don't even want to know what's going on in that gif...
Other than that, my characters romance whoever fits the personality I've defined for them. Gender doesn't really play a role in it.

That's true. They made me chivitos once. True story.
I know he is awesome. But to me there was only one shepard, I could never play him with great differences from the core original one from my first playthrough. Same goes for femshep.
Love doesn't choose it's subjects. It's never planned.
That said, I try out all of them just to see what it's like. I also figure someone out there worked hard on that cutscene. Might as well watch it at least one time.
I'm not picky. It'll more be about the character that I'm making as I don't tend to go for the "what would I do?" approach to RPGs.
Although Garrus must always be romanced when possible, just because he's amusingly awkward about it.
I normally avoid romances altogether. If I go for one (in any game offering romance/sex, not just Bioware's RPGs), it's as a male character going for a female. It's not my cup of tea seeing two geezers snogging each others faces off, as I'm straight, so there's no chance of me selecting a gay romance.
It was terrible in Dragon's Dogma where we're forced into romance but at least the scenes didn't over do it (it's just one kissing scene after defeating the end boss). If romance is to be included in a game then I prefer it being optional.
I prefer playing with the idea that my characters are too dedicated to the mission to care about sex or they are asexual/celibate if I'm role-playing a religious character.
I liked Witcher 2's approach (somewhat). Whilst one scene is forced, it's still done well and makes sense for the pre-set character that Geralt is but I like how throughout the the rest of the game, you can either ignore romances altogether, have the quickies that are offered with various women or stay loyal to Triss. I seriously found the romance in Witcher 2 far more mature too. Bioware romances (aside from Morrigan's) feel like they've been torn from somebody's fanfiction or Twilight or something! 
In The Witcher 2, I went for the romance with Triss in my first playthrough because it made sense because of Geralt's pre-set character and history and it wasn't cringe-worthy, it added to the story between the two when you have the option of defeating an entire army camp just to rescue her.
LOL and Dragon's Dogma's romance plot was god-awful especially when one of my characters ended up with the wrong woman (some random merchant woman) with the story that my character is fighting furiously against the Dragon just to rescue her. It made me feel as if my character was really fighting for the bargains and wares that the woman sold rather than for loving her! It was comedy at that point.
without a doubt I think the best romance on Bioware is probably Inquisitor Recon and Princess Luna. Hands down. The best.

It doesn't really matter that much to me. To me, You're not defined by your gender. It depends on the personality of the character.
to be fair your sexuality can be defined. Unless you are bi, there are limits to that whole "depends on the personality" part.

Not to me. And yes, I'm a bi.

What? That isn't even a thing.

I was under the impression that it was The Last Krogan and Tarek... 
I'm hetro, but one of my DA:O playthoughs ended with Zevran breaking my poor male mages heart... bstard!
actually his 'I can't take this romance further' was more hurtful for that character than my others with Morrigan
Retour en haut
