I certainly can't say you're wrong about that. The romances have become much more of a heavy focus.They've been doing it since it first appeared in Baldur's Gate 2 so I'm under no illusions about it, but BioWare has been getting progressively worse about it since Mass Effect 1. It really is annoying.

I just find it weird how many people on either side of the debate seem so fixated on this, when it is, all things considered, pretty insignificant. You'd think from some people's comments it's essentially Boning Age: Gayquisition, but I'm actually a good 20 hours into DA:I and I don't think I've run across a single reference to any character's sexuality yet. Maybe it's because half my companions seem to hate me and so don't want to talk to me about it.

It's worth mentioning some companies actually seem to go out of their way to feature a "diverse" cast and content in their games which often comes off as very forced in practice. That can also seem like pandering.
I will give BioWare credit for stepping away from their player sexual stance though. Was a step in the right direction. If people want to cry about it, then play a dating sim.
I just wish BioWare would divorce their romances from fanservice and actually write them in a way that's not pandering to tumblr-level shippers. Whether they're gay or straight, BioWare is pandering to degenerates who merely see the game as a backdrop to 'Riding The Bull'. It's all the same.
But at this point, that kind of suggestion is as extremist as 'BioWare should have better quest design' and 'BioWare ought to focus on having good RPG gameplay'.

I just wish they would divorce their romances from their games. Period.
So I watched AJ's review of inquisition. Lots of weird scenes...
lol @ android style buying stuff like Iron with actual $ in Inquisition
But at the end it got 8/10 because gameplay was kinda frustrating. BIOWARE WHY YOU DID THIS? WHY DID YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON ROMANCES YOU FORGOT ABOUT PC GAMERS?

Seriously, it's the source of either serious amounts of butthurt and/or creepy obsession fetishes. Just cut it out entirely.
Do you not want to know what Iron bull's sweat tastes like?!
It is like you want to be casual
Because the Tali sweat wasn't enough, they really needed to start this whole "ride the bull" thing...
Reminds me of a while back someone was asking Bioware to put on an option to toggle the gay characters on or off.. Lmao sometimes it's just so stupid you have to laugh (even though it's really just kind of sad tbh)
I'm of the mindset of lovin for all!

Truth be told the only game I've played that I can think of where LGBT characters didn't feel out of place is DA:O. They seemed like part of the environment and didn't stick out like a sore thumb, and when the characters talked about it it didn't feel contrived or just thrown in there for the hell of it. It was just who they are and what they do.
The only exception was in the Dead Trenches when Hespith is like "oh by the way, me and Branka are lovers" cueing some really poorly timed lewdness from Oghren and dissolving the tension in that scene, then not really following up on that making the mention of it at all kinda pointless and out of place.
As for DA:I, I'm not playing it but that whole Ride the Bull thing... ugh. That is just terrible. In fact all of the romance scenes I've seen on YouTube are cheesy as hell. If they can't do better than that then they really should just cut out the romance crap altogether.
You know... that's something that has really irked me.Because the Tali sweat wasn't enough, they really needed to start this whole "ride the bull" thing...

"Have Josephine scribble your quill..."
lmaooooo
Day 1 purchase.
"Steal Isabella's booty..."
It's not stealing if she gives it to everyone 
I'm not trying to start an argument, I just wanted to know why people think that whenever a gay character is put in a game, it's "pandering" or that Bioware has an "agenda"? And then there's people who say gays want the attention or "the special treatment", and that they don't see why blacks and other minorities aren't represented but gays are. Why?
It's easy to put two and two together when you take into account real life demographics of LGBT(3.5% of the population give or take) and Bioware's history of catering to a very vocal minority of yuri/yaoi enthusiasts(whom love to use transparent SJW arguments) with things such as DA2's playersexual rubbish and Kaidan being made bisexual in ME3.
That's why you don't hear such ruckus over gay characters in other titles such as New Vegas, Witcher 2, Persona 4,etc. Said characters in those titles aren't overrepresented or added to satisfy the base whims of sexual deviants.

An oldie but a goodie. Honeslty, the fact that the post even existed is proof that it would be wiser to just kill the whole thing with fire.
That poster, right now...
More reason, to me, they should just cut that cord. It's clear to everyone the reason why they do these romances isn't for storytelling, but for blatant sex appeal fantasy service.
I do like the idea of romances but as you say the quality just isn't there for the amount of resources used. Obviously I'd prefer they do a better job with them however unlikely that may be. But if they are going to continue as they are then yes I agree it would be best to remove them entirely.
