yeah like Zevran?  Or Alistair?  Not really emotional issues there.  Sure they may classify as pretty boys, but that's largely up for personal taste.

 

And no, we ahve a right to voice our displeasure

 

You're kidding me right?

 

That said all the LIs tend to have emotional issues so it's not something specific to female player LIs.

 

And you have every right. It'd be great if the "she's too ugly" and multiple thread making was reduced to a minimum though.

Didn't mean to say Zevran was a bastion of mental stability, but he doesn't have issues like Sera

To be fair Sera also isn't a heterosexual LI though.

Sera is the absolute most annoying and ugly character BioWare has ever produced that was bangable. I'm really not sure why so many males want her so badly.

Are you serious? Have we played the same game? Have you ever talked to them? How the hell did you miss Alistair's abandonment issues and low self esteem? Or how the crows screwed Zevran up?

Straight male characters have had good and diverse romance options for years, guys. While all straight female have ever had was the stereotype pretty boys with emotional issue. So this one time, when straight male options are not as appealing (to some I guess, I found both Cass and Josie to be damn awesome and lovely) as female's, could we just take it without complaining? Let's ladies have the spot light for once, for the love of the Maker lol 

 

:huh:

 

How about having "good and diverse romance options" for both genders? Sounds like a solution for me.

 

About complaining: please let us give our feedback to the devs. See, you have done it, and now you are satisfied ;)

Not a fan of the approach they went with in regards romances in inquisition.

The overall impression was too little butter spread too thinly on toast feeling.

Don't agree with giving one groups double the potential options either.

But everyone gets at least as many options as they had in DA2.  

 

Straight males had two options in DA2 (Merrill and Isabela)

They have two options in DAI (Cassandra and Josephine)

Heck they had two options in DAO (Leliana and Morrigan)

 

Nobody's getting fewer options, Though yes some are getting more (hey, s/s romances now have parity!).  But straight elf and human females getting more doesn't mean you are getting less.  It only means they get a little something extra.  Why begrudge them that?  

 

As far as I'm concerned, as long as I can have multiple options (2, 3, 4, or whatever) I'm happy.  I get Cassandra or Josephine, that fulfills my requirement.

Straight (Human and Elven) Players get 4.How is that fair to Straight & Gay Males & Gay Females?

 

Human females only get 3. Solas does not romance a human woman. 

 

Also, it feels like Solas' romance is less of a romance and more like extra story content based on gender and race. There's zero sex, plus if you know the ending of the game... well...

I was talking about in general but your right Solas only gets with elves.

 

So does that mean Jossiphine is just extra story content? I mean you don't have sex with her ether.

 

There doesn't have to be sex for it to be a romance.

True.  But that's not what makes him extra content.

 

Solas and Cullen's romances were done during the extra year to make DAI.  They were not originally romanceable.  Thus they are extra content.

As my butter analogy suggested, the same amount of resources spread over 8 romances isn't good imo.

As far one group getting more, i'm an equality person, so i don't see how that is good for anyone other than those who got the extra options.

Seems people don't know what the point is either. I don't care about what you're into. I don't pretend to understand the mind of a lesbian player, women in generally really. What I do understand is that she makes the faces of a howler monkey and the comments of a five-year-old. Which is fitting giving how she behaves during her personal quest. Insane would be putting it mildly. What I said is that I don't understand is the attraction felt by others, not that it didn't exist.

I guess what I'm saying is, when female got fewer interesting romance option, I don't see many complaining, or "feed back" thread. Now, when things are the other way around, threads like this spawn like mushrooms after the rain. This gotta be the 5th or 6th thread with the same topic that I've seen in the past 2 months or so. And I'm not even that active.

 

I guess I'm just not a complainer in the first place, or that I'm a sucker to women, but seriously, don't you think male gamers are becoming whiny, egoistic, and such in women's eyes by complaining about this over and over again?

 

Just my 2 cent tho, give as much feed back as you like :)

Alistair also grows out of it fairly easily.  He does not wallow in self pity after a certain point, particularly when hardened.

 

Zevran was always gonna be screwy

>implying we are any different.

 

 

You don't like Sera and leave it like that. Don't speak as if you know everyone else's tastes, plus i 100% disagree with you about Sera.

 

Also, you don't have to understand... as i said.... tastes. Don't tire you pretty little mind about this.

Not without a lot of coddling he doesn't. And after what point? When he's whining about Loghain being recruited? You realize that's near the end of the game right?

 

Hell the only way to avoid said hissy fit is to harden him. (Justified yes. Still immature and annoying as hell).

You really didn't play mass effect then? I certainly saw a lot of comments about imbalance between male and  female love interests from the other perspective.

That's not an emotional issue, I don't blame him for hating Loghain after all he's done

But as I said, Cullen and Solas are extra, and made with extra resources.  So it's resources spread across six, not eight. (and everyone has equal options under those six)

 

And while more options is certainly better, as long as everyone gets multiple options, that's all that can be reasonably asked for.

 

I mean, nothing's keeping anyone from playing a female elf and getting access to the extra romances anyway.  The game doesn't read our DNA and determines what content to show us.  ;)

Why wasn't that resources simply spread across the existing six to improve them? They certainly could have done with it.

You are. Don't see the problem.

Wow, it's like I just said I don't get some people's tastes, and then you completely ignored it because I hated on your waifu. Oh wait, that's exactly what you just did. 

 

 

Also, you don't have to understand... as i said.... tastes. Don't tire you pretty little mind about this.

>stop acting like you get everyone tastes

*shrug*  Because they had more stories to tell regarding those two?  Who knows?

 

Personally, I was quite satisfied with the Cassandra arc, and I'm looking forward to romancing Josephine with my qunquisitor.

Except it kind of is. If he was serious about doing what Grey Wardens should be doing (stopping the blight no matter the cost), then he would have accepted your decision to make Loghain a Warden. It doesn't matter what you think about the guy, the fact is that he's a brilliant strategist and commander. He's an asset. Instead Alistair focuses on the fact that Loghain robbed him of his substitute father figure.
