I should really start talking to demons more. I've always had this trigger finger to just go "GO TO HELL DEMON" whenever one of them so much at looks at me.

 

 

Back on topic,

 

Just because "straight" men only have Seeker and Ruffles to romance hardly means that it's a lack of good romances. Gay men get Tiny and Sparkler. Lesbians get Ruffles and Buttercup. Straight women potentially get Curly, Chuckles, and Hero, and that's only if they're elves. Humans get Curly and Hero, while Qunari and Dwarves only get Hero. Bisexuals pretty much get the best deal out of everyone, but yeah. I don't see many people playing straight female Qunari/Dwarves whining about how the only character they can romance is Blackwall.

 

Honestly, I don't see an issue with my only party romance being Cassandra if I were to roll a straight male; if anything, I'm glad for her romance option at all. Her character's definitely one of my favorite in any BW series so far. And lesbian Inquisitors only get Sera as their party romance. I don't see a lot of people whining about that.

4 options for females. Making sexual orientation to be the same as fantasy race is really trivialized who we are as a person. People don't get gross out by seeing a male elf and a female human kissing but if it between a male elf and a male human, there would be a repulsion by a lot of people. If Cullen is a male human or male elf only, I would gladly make a character just to romance him but I just can't feel the same way with a female one. I wouldn't feel immersion, I would just be playing a character separate from myself. I could do it easily seeing as I play mostly as females but for a Bioware game, I like to play as gay characters because it's so rare that it's hard to find outside of Bioware games. If I play as a straight character then it'd be the same as playing every other games out there in the market.

My mistake on hetero females, then. But how is making set sexualities and not making everyone bi a la DA2 trivializing who we are? Sure, I'm disappointed my FemQuisitor can't romance Seeker, but that does nothing to me as a person. I'm not about to start whining that I'm getting sidelined as a straight male just because straight women in the game get more romance options than me. It's not the bloody end of the world.

So what do you want like 300 options?

I'm talking about only human and elf can romance Cullen and such. It's a limitation based on fantasy race, but people are born with set sexuality. You are either gay, straight, or bi. It's more on physical appearance when talking about fantasy races in term of attraction. People who play the game are all humans who can play as these different races which are all physical appearance-based, but they still have a set sexuality. They can change their appearance to romance Cullen, but people can't change their orientations because it's a part of who they are.

In a game that is about crafting our own story? One would think that player satisfaction trumps "representation" if ask me at least with the romances

It's not crafting your own story. You're not the narrator of a choose your own adventure, you are a PARTICIPANT who is subject to the narrators plot. It's roleplaying within a predetermined world...a roleplaying world that specifically exists to accomodate every desire of the participants isn't a very good or interesting world.

 

If that was the case...Why can't I ask Divine Justinias spirit to have sex with me in the fade...it doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't want to explore that option.

See I like it that way it would have been better if only a read head can date Bull.

Actually since you are playing game where you do your own character you can change their orientation to be what you want as easily as the fantasy race. It's just press of button.

 

I get that there is lot of players who only play female characters- something I can't understand. Less often there is players who only play as their own sexuality. In other hand there is also players who only play one race, especially those who only play human. I guess it comes down do you play as yourself or as character you create yourself. But still, everyone has option to press those buttons and play as different gender, sexuality and race than they are. It's their choice to not use that button.

- rubs eyes- ok all I am saying is that making the charter player/hero- sexual perverts a possible complaint while not impacting negatively anyone's experience save for the white knights who would defent ANY Bioware choice in design (including silly ones) and those who feel like "NO this character should be for this sexuality of hero so the others can learn they cannot have everything they want" or some such nonsense

Not disagreeing with your overall point, but I think it's fairly more common for people to only play as their own gender as opposed to the opposite.

I can't really say if playing only with your gender is more common than switching around. I have heard lot of people doing other and lot of people doing another. Personally it's hard for me to understand why someone would like cut content away from them by limitating themselves ^^;

[Uccio]

72 virgins wouldn't hurt, just saying.

 

Preferably while my pc is still alive.

This thread is still here?

I´m game.

And that's why we role play.

 

Or are you really argueing here that to play a gay male you have to be gay yourself?

Cassandra is the best romance option for males in all 3 games, she's even better than Morrigan who was my favourite until now

I'm going to go a step further: best Bioware romance, ever. (and I've been playing BW games since Baldur's Gate )

Wow.  People really love Cassandra's romance, huh?  Is there anyone who romanced her and didn't like the romance? 

It seems to me that all someone has to do is give her a chance and she'll win them over.  She's only polarizing because some people can't get past her looks.

I mean, she's hot.  Of course it's hard to get past her looks.

And the whole reilgious zealousness.

 

I never thought I'd romance her at first glance, to be honest. But somewhere along the line, just when you think that's she impossible, way too manly and wouldn't even want to be romanced, she turns out to be quite a girly girl.

 

Love the contrast and love how she turns out to be deeply emotional behind all that religious hardlining nonsense.

Yeah, I don't get the "too manly" thing.  I find Cassandra to be incredibly feminine.  Even her exaggerated hip sway is super feminine.

 

I really want to see if someone can make a Cassandra image where she has long hair (like in the anime) and see if people still find her too 'mannish'. 

[ReelRipper]

I loved her romance. There was a tenderness to it especially with the poetry and I never found myself butting heads with her despite my character being a bit on the agnostic side so we got along swimmingly. She is a sweet lass when you get to know her. Not to mention I found her to be the most honest and trust worthy of everyone amongst the companions.

You really didn't see all the people who attacked the four bisexual companions thing?

 

Bioware can't do anything without some vocal group getting pissy.

She's the perfect woman. Haters gonna hate.
