Screw romance. You know what they should've done? Bring Duncan back to life so that he can solo everybody and slap the taint out of Cory.

 

Duncan aka Obi Wan Kenobi approves , and he isn't dead "though Duncan is to be dead , his actual death is not witnessed , nor is his body found if the warden returns to Ostagar"

 

He lingers in the shadows.

We're still complaining about the "lack" of straight options for males? That being said I enjoyed the Cassandra romance, it enhanced her character in unexpected ways.

 

Not so much. We're just complaining that we didn't like the options we were given. And by we I mean an undetermined number of guys.

Most of the time? So you occasionally role-play as a homosexual? I dont see the purpose or the logic unless you have secret concealed feelings.


Would you say that about people who play evil PCs? Everyone who went DS in KotOR has secret concealed evil feelings?

Oh, roughly %50 of straight males and your unfathomable interest in austere, emotionally unavailable, but hot women... 

 

 

Bleh.

Oh hell yeah, smoking hot. Too bad she stops being intimate with you the moment she realizes she loves you....

 

I Nope'd right the hell out of there when I realized that's how her arc progresses. I've never tried to romance her again in any other play-throughs.

When I threw that knife at Brother Genitivi's head, something deep inside awakened.

I prefer "all bisexual" myself. Locking myself out of content at the character creator can be paralyzing.

I think guys have a very small point. Both Cass and Josie encourage a certain knight in shining armor idealized romance, in the same way Fenris and Anders were dark, brooding men who needed to be fixed. Cass/Josie and Sera might've provided more contrast.

 

That shouldn't be a concern to the devs

The devs simply don't care about that. They prefer sillier things.

Her rejection seems to indicate that she doesn't think the Inquisition's position would not benefit her much, which is kind of funny.

This always baffled me she wants power and The Inquisitor has power alot of power he's above both the Royalty and Nobility and by the Endgame he is the most powerful being in Thedas.


I've seen it suggested (and possibly verified? Don't quote me on that) that Vivienne is a lot older than she makes herself appear to be. Bastien might have just had himself a cute young thing in Vivienne, but it's just as likely she was closer to his age than first looks might imply. I'm going to guess at least some people would have been all thanks, but no thanks for her romance if she walked out without her face on one morning. :P

That wouldn't have been an issue for me personally seeing as I wanted to romance Dr. Chakwas/Samara in Mass Effect lol.

*snip for length*

 

The issue I am trying to explain, is someone had to have less options due to wanting to add romances. It is true that Vivienne could be an option, and I agree with you that she would make a good one. The complaints have very little to do with the dissapointment. I get why guys were dissapointed. Many of us can empathize with the disappointment and have said so on many occasions. We also don't think you guys deserve to have less (and neither did Allan).

 

The point is that straight guys so often have extra that when extra time came along, they decided why not give it to someone else? There will be times when someone has extra, nearly all their games have an extra romance for someone. And due to a certain logic, it always went to straight men.

 

It isn't your disappointment that we call entitled, we can empathize and understand and agree with the disappointment. It is only when you act like it is a punishment and that you somehow are being attacked by not having the extra that you come off as childish. The idea that you are sending is if there is extra, it should be yours, and if someone has extra and you don't, you are somehow being punished and are wronged. That is entitlement.

 

Imagine This: Straight women get more options for the next 20 years. Eventually Bioware listens to guys and says, woah thats not fair, next time we have extra romances to hand out it will go out to someone else. The next game comes out and lo and behold straight men have more. And the Straight Women are acting like they are hated, that they are being targeted, and raising a big stink that someone has more than them and the options aren't that generally appealing. Straight Guys natuarally point out that the gals have had more for awhile, and its only fair that they sometimes get more. And the women act like that is an attack too because the men want revenge and are out to get them. They would be childish and entitled.

 

Or even think of this, if the next game has more options for straight men, will you think how unfair, Bioware is punishing straight women, or think hey! Awesome! Now I get more options, that seems fair after DA:I. Many, many people think no one should get extra and that is awesome. But next time someone brings up balancing romances, remember it has as much to do with Straight men being unable to deal with having less than someone else; as LGBT and Women wanting the same amount.

I have played a gay character a few times over the years but that wasn't what I meant. Usually if I'm not playing my straight male characters I'll play a female, straight or lesbian, doesn't matter much, to get the female experience since there's usually little differences in NPC reactions and dialogue based on gender.

Count me in as one of "the guys" who would have liked more choices in a straight male role play.

I sometimes wonder... if Bio had known in advance about the endless whining they were about to set off, would they have cancelled the Solas and Cullen romances? Any bets?

Get rid of romance, bring back the brothel. But make it worthwhile.. not just fade to black and lose a **** tonne of money. Introduce character development and story to the brothel.. have the prostitute blackmail your goody goody political standing as the Inquisitor, and other such scenarios.

Solas, maybe. They knew Cullen was very popular and desired by women.. Solas was unknown.

That would've been awesome!

 

And if you are in romance with someone, they should rage on you for sleeping with whores saying they got the herps because you gave it to them.

 

Not only that, if you slept with an infected prostitute before the WInter Palace mission, you automatically start with low approval because word has spread that you have AIDS

Oh yes.. I can just imagine Sera's reaction. "Urgh.. your bits are all bumpy. I told you I don't share!"

Become more attractive and appealing in real life and you won't have to rely on a video game for romance, there are unlimited possibilities out there :wizard:

But "character creation" comes at a cost in real life.. games are so much cheaper. One hundred AUD and whenever I get sick of my relationship I can just delete the save. ;)
