Blackwall is already irredeemably evil and killable though. Hey you, shut your trashy mouth.

The game isn't locking you out of anything, you are doing that yourself. It's not the games fault you are unable to roleplay anything else except one character.

Oh no, not this conversation again. I'd complain if the romances were all playersexual, so your point already is moot.

I know what's done is done, and that Blackwall was supposed to be the only straight female romance before they added Cullen and Solas (who both were supposed to be bi *grumble grumble*) but I can't believe they passed on the opportunity to make Blackwall bi. Insane, just totally insane. It sucks to see Blackwall get so little support and fans, but can you blame 'em when if you want a romance where you get jerked around, you can pick Solas who is plot centric, and if you want to romance a daddy, you can go with Iron Bull who just oozes masculinity and dominance, and if you want to romance a knightly human, you can go Cullen who is more conveniently handsome and knightly than Blackwall.
I think when it comes to romances, BW doesn't really take into account what kind of romances different people (of different sexuality) want, and just wing it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it sucks dick.

This thread is getting kinda annoying with everyone stating their OPINIONS as FACTUAL KNOWLEDGE. It was obviously not meant to be an abusive relationship (probably not the healthiest but still...), and it has been stated as much. What you perceive is secondary.

I love them together. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... as friends it is fine. But the 'romance' was written in a gross manner and Dorian deserves better than to be abused by someone who is otherwise an amazing character. I think the writers ruined Bull by making him treat Dorian the way he does. It comes off as harassment to me. But then again I love their romances with the Inquisitor and I often romance either one or the other. Dorian is an emotionally abusive dickweed himself so they fit well together. Bull x Dorian is better than Inq x Bull or Inq x Dorian, they pull each other out of their comfort zones and they develop nicely as a couple.

DA:I had shit beards. MEA had absolutely bonkers shit beards.. I hope DA4 finally gets it right. There needs to be a good mix of fantasy AND regular, MODEST beard and facial hair styles. I just want a goatee, why am I not able to have just a little fluff on my chin???

I just wanted to make an older gentleman who fights with knives. Sadly the game lighting really sucks and the complexion I chose doesn't really showcase his... mature age. Sucks. I'm not quite sure what to do with this character yet, but I think I'm going to romance Dorian with him. I have a canon male qunari Inquisitor with no boyfriend, I have a Bullmancing male elf so I guess this guy will be my Dorianmancer. The only way I can get through Dorian's awful, awful romance is if I give him an older, mature, stern daddyfriend who isn't starved for romance and a close relationship like my other Inquisitors. Anyway, this is Ivan, he is pretty grumpy and an asshole.

I hope BW has the courage to make a gay guy in DA4 who isn't a perfect gorgeous cinnamonbun who becomes a gay platonic soulmate of the player, and just has to flirt with women and lead them on because he is so.. like he is. Please? Can we get a '' gay male Sera '' who is really divisive? That'd be nice.

‘It’s okay, but I appreciate the acceptance. I am just going to play DA2 when I feel like a bit of DA. Didn't know about that mod, but from what' I've seen on YT it doesn't look good and I don't like this character enough to ignore that. Bi-Dorian is still Dorian, you shouldnt mind what others think and enjoy romancing him with a female inq, especially if the romancing part of the games is what make you replay. "He's yours now". Fuck no he is not.

You can do whatever you want, but I have the right to condemn you (if I want to) on what you do if I feel like it's counter productive or offensive. "Offensive" should have a pretty high bar, shouldn't it? That differs from person to person. There are things to me that I cherish so much, and things I'm protective of, because I see them as a positive change in this world, the gaming community etc. If someone tramples all over those things, and they have no respect for whoever made them, and how important they are to some people, and how beneficial and helpful these things can be, then yeah, I'm going to call it out as offensive. Or rather, I'm going to ignore this person and hope I never have to deal with them again. I'm sensitive about certain subjects, ff you can't respect that, whatever.

I just feel like a lot of work was done to breathe life into these characters and make them who they are. When you start tinkering with them, I just can't help but feel bad for whoever designed this character and who they designed them for. I would be mortified beyond belief if anyone took a character I designed and '' fixed '' them to their liking. Though whatever floats your boat, I just choose to live with the things that bother me. Maybe that's masochism, I don't know. What distinguishes for me the games as a media from other works of fiction and the reason I play them is that they allow me to self-express through my creativity and choices I make. To me, the games were desirable specifically because they invited me to co-create. And I overall always picked the games that let me express myself as much as possible, and thus I was interested in mods since that day I complained about not really being into Anomen and someone telling me "well, download Soulafein". I was interested in modding for as long as I was able to keep up with the workloads and demands of it. When I modded, I did go through a possessive phase, but eventually accepted that it would be insanely hypocritical of me to be protective of my own characters or my character interpretations. It helped me in particular when I worked on a project that involved 20+ characters and all of them were created, edited and co-created collectively, with the authorship of each character changing hands as years went by etc. Eventually, I learned to look back at it and not feel a jealous pang when someone writes or works on the same character I did, and does it better or does something I disagree with. And even lived to see my dearest project trashed all over the net with uttermost hatred. "They" have the right to hate it as much as I have the right to write and code it (I was less tolerant of the suggestions to hack my e-mail). All of it was worth it for that one moment the characters I designed showed up on the screen and started talking. Overall, my deepest heart's desire when I play a game I enjoy to the fullest is for everyone to experience the same rapture and joy when they play it, and if all it takes for it is a smaller or bigger change somewhere, I hope they can find it, instead of being resigned for the game to under-deliver. I want people to experience the same sharp intake of breath and WOW! that I did when I saw Thane and heard that "yes, he is romanceable" and overall hearing "YES! YES, YOU CAN HAVE IT!" more often than, "Oh, no, you can't do that or feel this, because reasons and because it's better/lore/how it is." You can do whatever you want, but I have the right to condemn you (if I want to) on what you do if I feel like it's counter productive or offensive.

[edit] Also, boo-hoo at Dragon Age being one of the few game series in existence that doesn't cater to straight males by giving them more. Y'know, like DA's space cousin, Mass Effect. They have had two options since DAO. In DAO, they had the same options as straight women. DA2 and DAI both had more options for straight women, but all other combinations got the same amount (2). Let's not pretend that catering to straight women specifically is somehow a positive thing, though.

On the right... is that your type? (The joke was that the both look the same and that's why I pointed out that that's Sten even though you obviously meant Fabio) Oh, an incredibly muscular guy with long hair and masculine facial features. Can't say he wouldn't be my type.

Regarding mages, it just makes picking the mage class, you are trodden with lore baggage, very HEAVY lore baggage, when all I want is to cast spells and not have to have a political stance on mages. Picking a race can have lore baggage because it doesn't really affect gameplay much, but picking your class does. And what sucks even more that there's no different culture between different kind of mages, at least it's not emphasized enough. No matter what specialization you pick, you are just a mage, nothing else, you are as ostracized/oppressed or celebrated as any other kind of mage. And honestly, I just want to be a druid, but I can't. If you take away the lore baggage all your left with is some everyday generic D&D fantasy world. To me it is the lore baggage and the ambiguity around it that makes the whole setting interesting. Yes I'm sure, but I'm indifferent about the world setting of Dragon Age that much, and when it fucks with my class selection, that's even worse.

Bull's ugly. I think he was purposely designed to be down to earth and ugly, to counter all the expectations people had after Arishok, Ketojan and Sten.... He looks like a grizzled mercenary who took a flail to the face for a friend, but that just makes him more attractive to me. I love Sten as much as anyone but I don't think he was designed to be a bombshell either LOL. Well I mean... Anyone want to play a game of '' which one is Fabio and which one is Sten ''
