Zevran isn't gay... or flamboyant for that matter.  He's bisexual and sex-crazed.


They can't win...

I actually found Zevrans interaction with a male pc somewhat offensive with how up front the sexuality is. But I do agree developers can't win, ever, someone is always complaining.


I think all the romance options were quite up front.  I remember being quite shocked when Morrigan said it was cold in her tent!

Wade is a great addition to the comic relief of the game. He looks funny too. I never thought of the possibliity of the two as lovers... I mean I know Wade is a bit like a fairly lol but i never knew the other guy was too.

Wade and Herren are Bioware and EA, respectively. Think about it.

If Wade is Bioware and Herren is EA, then...DA:O would be dragon bone, ME would be drake scale and KoTOR (the MMO) would be ...turtle scale?

Bodhan and Sandal are just about even with Herren and wade


Wait, wait - what? I have to assume you are talking about something else here, because Bodahn and Sandal are definitely NOT a couple. There is a dialog option the first time you talk to them in camp about their past that has Bodahn talk about his barren wife, how he found Sandal in the Deep Roads and adopted him as his son, and how there are things more important than blood. Please, AlexTheRogue, clarify your statement a bit more, because the thought of the alternative is - unsettling.

When Wade tells you he wants fantastical materials and Herren is like "Wade! What are you about?"



LOL

I thought it was obvious they were a couple, even in Origins. Then again I purchased items from a couple that were exactly like Wade and Harren. Which made it all the funnier to me.

You realize, he's just joking right? 

OR MAYBE NOT.

As a gay man I found them to be quite cute and harmless. Yes they're a little queeny, but so what. Some gay men are. I'm not even remotely offended. I find it great that Daivd & Bioware at least have a couple of characters in DA that arent totally straight.



Thanks David for Zev too, he was an awesome character once you dug a little deeper, and I did get a few kicks out of Herren/Wade diatribes.

Knew that they were from the moment I heard their fist exchange in Origins.

Real nice to have confirmation all the same. Its always nice. =)



I thought that they were a great addition to both Origins and Awakening. It was pretty refreshing form the standard blacksmith character type.

Clearly some people missed all those other gay characters that were much more masculine in their behavior -- possibly because they didn't make a point out of mentioning their sexuality, any more than Wade and Herren did. I mean, how would you know? Short of actually finding them with their partner or wearing a rainbow-coloured medallion, I mean.

Perhaps instead of the "Captain of the Guard" floaty over their head it should read "Gay Captain of the Guard"? Just so you can tell?

Ah, yes. The Gay Captain of the Guard seems sufficiently butch. I am appeased.

...wait. That model's hair is
awfully well-coiffed. And perfect skin, too?

Did he just offer to re-decorate my face with his sword? Outrage!

;)

Clearly I'm kidding... to a point.

As for whether I would ever do a gay/bi male romance that was more obviously masculine, I don't know. Maybe. That's not the most compelling point to base a whole character on, but you never know. Zevran isn't the first gay/bi character I've written or that BioWare has included in our games, and I suspect he won't be the last -- there are, after all, many possibilities to explore.

Eh, to me, they've always been tight lipped about things like this. Asari are all female, so they're techincally not lesbian. Zevran and Leilanna are technically bi-sexual, and not purely gay.

A full fleged conformation of such a thing is a win in my book.

WOH, "not purely gay?" Where does this **** come from??:o

I guess now would be a bad time to mention that one girl Wade slept with back in college, huh?

Being bi myself I've always found it hurtful when people say stuff like that. As if bi people aren't actually interested in the same sex or as if we don't struggle through the same sort of hate and other crap that other gay people do. :-/  It's frustrating enough that straight people often want bi people to just "pretend to be straight" since we like the opposite sex as well. Or belittle our interest in the same sex as experimentation or a "phase" we'll just "grow out of." But the fact that I actually get that sort of reaction from gay people MORE often is strange and hurtful, you expect someone to understand and be I dunno, some sort of a comrade in what you've been going through in your life and they're all "pick a side." I did, I like both sexes, I don't understand why gay or straight people want me to choose one over the other when that isn't how I work, anymore than a gay person could choose to be straight, or a straight to be gay.

edit: And just to clarify, I meant what Massodonius said, not what you said, David.

I get what you're saying -- I have a friend who's just as sensitive about the topic -- but to be fair all I think Massodonius was referring to was that our romances (with the exception of Juhani) have always been "shared" so he considered it nice to have an out-and-out (no pun intended) gay character or two. Not a condemnation of bisexuality itself.

No, but seriously, I figured it was quite obvious, really.


As did I. Thought it was rather cute, myself.

True fact. I should probably be less upitty, I guess I've just seen similar comments meant in the truly negative way here so many times that I went into defensive mode automatically. >.< Not good.

Sorry, to you, Massedonious, if you hadn't meant what you said the way I took it.

PS- It's so nice to be abouts the forums again, I was sort of meh on them for a bit after the game came out and trying to avoid spoilers and the inevitable rush of wackadoodles on them, I missed this place, nice to be chatting with you again, too, David, specifically. :D

I should have known.



Wade even has that handlebar biker mustashe . . . . plus he's an armor smith that knows how to make LEATHER armor.



It's just so obvious now.

I think so, yes. Or if not, I could definitely see it.

I'm also pretty sure Anders is gay. I mean, come on, the gifts you can give him include a knitted scarf, golden jewelry, and a kitten! And what he says when you give him gifts is just so...well, I don't know, I could be wrong, it's just a theory. Don't get me wrong, I love my dear sparkle-fingers.


Nah, he's just a lesbian in a man's body.
