Why can't we have a romance option like Isabella for straight male gamers?

My post is not flame bait nor is it trolling, it's 100% genuine and serious.

 

Which of the 50 times you spammed the forum with it was it not trolling? I just want to keep track so that I know which ones are which.

A lot of you have insulted me at a personal level

 

A lot of people, really? I'll have to go look for those. I wonder how the designers and animators personally felt when you posted 50 threads about how Josephine and Cassandra's appearance made you want to vomit. Do you suppose they felt personally insulted? 

 

you can call me a shallow loser if you want

 

Nah, I'm much more creative than that.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that "Brevnau" isn't a lone player, but rather a pair of Bioware developers who derive particular enjoyment in stirring up the fanbase in the same way that children enjoy freaking out fish by tapping on the glass of an aquarium.

10 sovereigns says he'll tell us that he was always serious.

Nah, I'm sure the poster is real.  Occasionally, I do wonder if the devs run social experiments on the forums though.

Another straight male gamer here who finds Cass and Josephine to be very attractive.

 

In fact, Cass isn't just my favourite romance from inquisition. She's my favourite romance out of any Bioware title.

I am not willing to put the exact specifications of potential mates on some list for the next game.

Never mind that this can backfire. Imagine creating a checklist thinking you are being concrete and the then devs taking it and misunderstanding it every single step on the way. :ph34r:

You aren't entitled to find the options that you're presented with attractive. As mentioned earlier, there are many straight guys who have posted in this very thread who find both Josephine and Cassandra attractive. It's a shame that you don't, but the devs can't please everyone.

 

I'm sure there are gay men that don't find Dorian appealing at all and would much rather have someone like, say, Cullen [I'm only referring to looks here.] I'm also sure that there were gay men that played DAO and DA2 that didn't care for Zevran, Anders, or Fenris and would have preferred a Dorian-type in those games.

 

DAI is actually the first DA game where we've gotten male dark-haired romance options for both male and female, so that's a plus.

I find both Josephine and Cassandra highly attractive though out of just those two ladies on looks alone I'd pick Josephine over Cassandra (those eyes :wub: ) Different people are attracted to different kinds of features which is awesome. Example I am a sucker for pretty eyes which is probably why I really adore Josephine and Merrill they have some imo gorgeous eyes. Hmm I don't think I was very on topic with that was I? Sorry^^;

Yeah, I dig her too. There's something oddly seductive about a woman who appears constantly poised to kick my head in in the event I say the wrong thing.

Yep. Zevran is not my type of guy. But I sucked it up and went with Morrigan instead and crossed my fingers for the next game. (Spoiler alert: it worked. I've been really happy twice in a row with Anders and Dorian.)

 

I also have to play two Mass Effect games in a row until I can even romance someone of my preferred gender with a male protagonist.

Merrill's rather girlish. Everyone else currently being discussed has more rounded, sensual features.

 

Also larger breasts are probably a factor.  :P

I remember on the legacy site, sometimes we would get roleplayer accounts representing characters from the ME games. They all had avatars featuring their respective characters and all of them had 'Private' profiles. Not only that, but they also typed in colors that are naturally associated with their characters (e.g. Thane's account always typed in green).

 

To this day I still find myself baffled by all that. Part of me thinks it might have been the devs having fun but I have no clue :lol:

Do you find Leliana, Morrigan & Isabella attractive? Do me a favor and rank Leliana, Morigan, Isabella, Cassandra & Josephine based on their physical beauty alone.

 

Well, they're cartoons, but imagining real people with the same features, I'll humor you:

 

1. Leliana

2. Josephine

3. Isabela

4. Cassandra

5. Morrigan

 

The thing is, though, that's all based on subjective criteria. Leliana's on top (heh) because I loves me some redheads. Josephine has an intelligent quality about her that I find quite attractive. Isabela has the same, plus the confident way she carries herself is very hot. Cassandra wins out over Morrigan because short haircuts on women are another turn-on turn.

 

And you didn't even include Merrill in your list for some reason.

 

It's impossible for Bioware to please absolutely everyone, because tastes are too varied. This time around, nothing they went with appealed to your tastes. It's fair for you to be disappointed about that, but treating it as somehow directed at you specifically, or acting as if they OWE you your perfect love interest, is just ridiculous.

As an aside, I don't really understand the mentality that the romances are there to romantically please the player. Maybe I'm an outlier, but I always looked at it as offering the option for a subplot in the story I'm telling, so I try to pick from the options based on what my character would like, not what provides a vicarious thrill for me.
