Blackwall is old, so everything is open really at this point. Really? How old is he? I thought it was just the beard. He is in his 40s. And Solas is millennia old, so Drack being romancable wouldn't really be going into new territory age-wise.

But I think all characters (except Sera) were between 30 and 45 years old. Solas doesn't count, he hasn't aged for years. ^^

It would be great if she is bi too, so everyone can enjoy the romances but I highly doubt it with the spoilers I just read in the top. In before she is not even a LI. It might be like Garrus where we don't get her as a love interest until the second game, would suck if that were true As far as I know, Garrus became a romance option cause people liked him really much in the first game. Now, as turians are widely respected by the fans, I see no legit reason to make a non-romancable turion squadmate.

Josephine is in her late twenties, between 27 to 29 according to her writer. Drack's age really shouldn't matter, since age means different things among races with varying lifespans.

I still think he won't be a romance option... I wouldn't have a problem with him being one. I just can't imagine Bioare to give us a krogan, especially an old krogan. Many People care about looks and age. I'd be okay with him as long as he's an additional option, though.

My guess, totally based on my guts, lol. Wait till the end before you shoot me: Common LIs: Peebee -->She's an asari. Asari's are always all over the place. Also, they make up for great bi love interests and help the developers cover ground on this. And they are into anything that moves, honestly, cause you know, they need all that dna diversity. I'd be surprised if she was one gender exclusive or not an option at all. Jaal --> Angaran seem like the asari counterpart on this. My guess is he's also going to be bi, if only because of the views pertaining to his own culture or out of sheer curiosity for the human race. I think they looked interested in the trailer, if expectedly cautious. Again, the devs could cover lots of ground here. Scott only: Cora --> She's shown kissing him on the last trailer, so that's pretty much a given, right? Also, a Bioware trademark, you know, first female companion? Previous examples include Ashley, Miranda, Morrigan, Bastila, and so on. They are all straight. Sara only: Liam --> I really think he's shown up to something with her in the "you first" trailer. Again Bioware trademark, first human male companion? Previous examples include Kaidan, Jacob, Carth, Alistair... All straight, except for Kaidan, who was made bi only in ME3. That would leave me with two options for each straight Ryder and only one for a gay Scott or a lesbian Sara. I think those two spots will be covered by romances a la Traynor or Steve (not necessarily so underdeveloped but you get my drift), since I can't really imagine Bioware making all of the squad-mates LIs. I understand that also would mean both Vetra and Drack are not options... which would suck for many people, but I just don't see it working any other way with the numbers we have now. None of them really give off a romantic vibe so far either (at least not to me) even if they both seem cool enough. There could also be stuff out of plan (like, for instance, Cullen, or making Iron Bull available for everyone in DAI) but those are even harder to guess. I of course would be very pleasantly surprised if we get more than this pessimistic prediction of mine. Alright, you can shoot me now.

well, I sent that tweet to Ian, a Lead Designer, so even if he doesn't respond or comment, he knows it's a concern for some of the players at least.

Noooooooooo But... but I need to know everything! I doubt they'd have revealed all of them since some romances are located on planets and might not be even revealed as characters before release. Same goes for some crewmates, especially if they're those we found out in the cluster. I hope for at least one per orientation though.

That's fine if they aren't going to reveal who can bang who, but I hope if we get more info about romances from upcoming trailers and previews, they aren't just going to showcase m/f and f/f relationships, because that would hit a nerve badly.

Just a gentle to reminder for all to keep cool heads and cool hearts and take leaks with a grain of salt. A friend who was friendly with the devs told me that someone told HER before DAI launched that Blackwall was bi. Turns out that friend of a friend was obviously wrong. So you never know

For that matter, take any published guides with a grain of salt, too. The ME3 guide had Kaidan listed as straight.

All I want is for my SisRyder to be able to romance PeeBee and Vetra. I also will romance any females I can as SisRyder, but those are the two most important.

A lot of folks say that they will "just have the voice actor voice both romances just so fans won't get spoiled" or some such thing, but I don't believe that, mainly because... voice actors have to get paid, and they tend to get paid by the hour, I believe. They are not going to have an actor sit in the studio recording lines that they know for sure won't be in the game.
With Cullen and Solas, my guess is they just ran out of time. ME1, which, let's all recall, was released in 2007... they probably tried to do it (bi Ash and Kaidan) but something, somewhere, made them stop, whether that's the parent company, whatever.
I think what we see is what we'll get with MEA; I don't expect any tricks or "running out of time" or "we just don't think that character works as a gay character" (the illustrious David Gaider I believe once said he had that belief about a certain character but someone managed to change his mind.)

Maybe it is some strict notion of behavior or something.

I thank him for Fenris, with all my heart, but I wasn't sorry to see him go. For Solas, didn't Patrick Weekes say he decided against making him bisexual because he wanted to avoid Solas falling under the Depraved Bisexual trope or some such thing? That was the excuse given. If he was serious, then it's a total bullshit reason imo. However, I don't think he's serious since half the lines are recorded for the romance. I think they ran out of time, just like with Cullen.

Time played a big part in DAI. They even planned to have Cole kill that guy and become a demon you have to fight, etc... but with MEA they've had many years to work on it. I doubt anything cut will be due to time if something does happen.
