I'm good with Rook because it sounds like we aren't going to be a big deal from the start. My issue with DA:I is that the Inquisitor was too central and important too soon, even their name implies an influential position. Rook sounds like it wont have those issues.
What I'm more interested in is what is going to be our title, as in..
DA:O had the Hero of Ferelden DA2 had the Champion of Kirkwall DA:I had the Herald of Andraste
What '' the something of something '' is Rook going to be known as in the end, that's going to be intriguing.

I think it's better to move away from the weird DA:I middle ground (that failed completely) and focus entirely on action-based combat instead. I'm sure some people will dislike it though, and that's completely fair. But nothing is definite anyway.

I've seen some disappointment around the internet about this teaser and that it might not mean we're as close as we thought we were to DAD. I am not so ready to be disappointed. Beta usually does not last as long as Alpha. So I still think Fall 2023 is realistic. Here's another thought: What if they do not show anything at the game awards and we all go bummer for a number of hours until the trailer does show up but after the last episode of the Netflix show. If the Netflix show ties in with the plot of DAD then it would kind of make sense for them to drop a trailer at the end of that show would it not? Sounds like wasting a really important promo slot on something only fans will most likely check out. Unless the animated series is exceptionally well received (which is unlikely, many animated series about video game series come and go without making much or any noise), sounds like bad business. They are most likely going to wait for summer game fest when excitement for new games and reveals is at an all time high.

Varric being dragged into ever increasing calamitous scenarios is funny, but they really need to either keep him far away from the '' inner circle '' of the next game or make him a fun character again that is not so damn depressing and wimpy all the time.

I am not ready for DA4 at all, because I know it's going to disappoint. The later the better in this case... maybe. With the amount of people leaving and the direction changing every damn year, they better not push out an incomplete messy turd.

I can't say I do. I generally need to like my character in order to actually like playing as well, so roleplaying a character that does a lot of things I don't agree with is really hard. Dragon Age is not the game where I want to be needlessly cruel or make asshole, even evil decision for the sake of it.

While I agree that it is very clear that Solas is implying a massive genocide of huge proportions, I also think that the writers can pull off a '' well actually what he meant was that society as we know it will crumble and some people will not like it :-) '' and I'm already expecting that to some degree. I’m certain that Solas has promised his followers that they will survive while the rest of Thedas dies. And perhaps he even means it. After all, the reborn elven civilization will need a new underclass of servants. Underclass of what? I know Solas is a bit--well, prideful--but even he should not expect things to by hunky dory in the immediate aftermath of his plan. The "upper class" of ancient elves will likely be scrounging for survival alongside the other elves that survived the ordeal. Nah. The other elves are going to be kept around mostly to pass on their survivalist skillset...and genes. No seriously, even if there are ancient elves in hiding their numbers are bound to be exceptionally limited. And keep in mind elves in modern Thedas are already debatably in the process of being bred out since only an elf x elf union results in an elf. By the time the modern elves pass on normally in Solas's new world (or by being killed by demons, infighting, and so on), the concept of drastically different social classes will barely be a thing. At best they'd be like Keepers, maintaining a higher status only by a communal respect of their ancient knowledge while still being beholden to the whims of a tribal society that needs to prioritize survival above all else. And do we (or Solas) really believe ancient elves will escape his new world unscathed? They can be killed through demons, infighting, and so on as well even with their ancient knowledge. It honestly seems like the ancient culture is going to be appropriated and assimilated by whichever elves are left alive to carry the next generations as they actually get to rebuilding the new elvhen empire. I certainly can't see Solas wanting to rebuilt the elvhen empire 1 for 1 given his previous efforts to dismantle a regime that apparently abused its lower classes. So Solas adding the modern elves into his plan could just be a means of hedging his bets and ensuring the actual longevity of 'his people' as a species while laying the groundwork in place to partially avoid the slavery system of ages past. (And there's also the possibility moderns elves, or at least their descendants, may very well become a part of "his people" since their conscious connection to the fade was likely restored. Although that distinction may not mean much to other ancient elves. Part of the old classist regime and all that....and also people in general can be di*ks.) Love this. Not only is Solas a turbo-racist, but he'll eventually become (if he already isn't) a turbo-sexist and turbo-homophobe as well as he forces unwilling women and homosexuals to continue his precious race! Wonder how Solas fans will defend him them. (I'm obviously joking. Kind of.)

On the contrary, I don't want any snark or sarcasm in my romance at all. Dorian was horrific because any sort of romantic attachment was always hindered by him not talking like a real person ever and always resorting to quick jibs and jabs and being an unlikable person overall who never took anything seriously. Snark has no room in a blossoming romance!

Bisexuality being used as some kind of fix all/everyone wins bandage is more bothersome (and ignorant) than a group of people all being bisexual and slobbering after the PC being unrealistic. Just make good characters, assign a (unique) preference to each character and try to avoid very clear patterns, pitfalls and tropes. I'm sure the rest will follow. With how much people talk about KISA, and this has been going on since forever, I'm kinda honestly getting bored of that whole trope, no matter what sexuality.

Or with extra 'from enemies to lovers' angle. This I would find very interesting. As long as the characters involved connect through more than just chemistry like in bad fanfiction. Kind of like the entire hidden companion thing with Loghain, where you can pull the character to your side of the conflict. Bonus points if it's an apostate and we finally get a reverse betrayal by one for a change XD Enemies to lovers can be pretty freaking cheesy so I dunno how I feel about that lol. But a reverse betrayal feels like a long time coming.

I was thinking more like a devout Andrastian wouldn't really want to have cuddles with like, a Dalish who shits on Andrastian faith. Or that some characters just have racial preferences because of their background or status or just that they are/aren't attracted to some races and it's like a character trait they bring up.
Like I find it just ever-so-slightly weird that Cassandra is completely a-okay with a man of any faith and any opinion regarding her faith really as long as you jam that approval meter high enough. Obviously there'll be opposites attract kind of romances present but sometimes having certain dealbreakers certainly makes a lot of sense.

You wouldn't be simping this hard for this '' fluid '' nonsense if it was gay characters or characters presumed to be gay suddenly being fluid and discovering their heterosexual attraction and urges. Unless of course you are that deep into this obviously homophobic rhetoric about fluidness of sexuality that is only ever forced upon already gay people. And stop saying q*eer when you obviously mean SSA people. What is the reason to say q*eer? It's a horrible homophobic slur. None of what I even said had anything to do with how certain sexuality only fits certain characters. Why are you so unhinged? Lol. If I'm "simping" for fluid, then are you simping for the heteros? So they'll think you're one of "the good ones", and let you have their table scraps? I was not addressing only your points, if I was speaking only to you, I would have quoted you. LGBT people have been using 'queer' as a self-descriptor and as an academic term for decades longer than you have been alive. Even if it were only a slur, as a gay man, like you, I have the right to reclaim slurs that are used against me. Block me if you don't like it, but don't blame me for your own lack of awareness about the complicated history of the term, or its extremely common current-day usage within the LGBT community. And I say 'queer' or 'fluid' because I do NOT only mean same-sex attracted people. I mean all the characters of BioWare games who are anything other than completely straight and cisgender (since there could be trans party members in the future). When DA2 first came out, the sexuality of the characters was not disclosed, it was only with the release of DAI, when BioWare decided to gate shit again, that they decided everyone was "bisexual", but prior to that they could have been bisexual OR pansexual or any number of other possibilities. Not to mention, a character can present as supposedly "straight" and turn out to be same-sex attracted later, like Anders did. And even though Anders backstory says he was same-sex attracted all along, it is possible for real people to realize same-sex attraction late in life, and so it could happen to a character too. So I say fluid, because even if someone's identity changes, it doesn't invalidate the identity they had before. And you literally said you support gating as long as it "makes sense for the background", so which backgrounds "make sense" to be gay? What kind of background does a gay man have? I simp for gays and lesbians and bisexuals in same sex relationships, and no self-respecting gay or lesbian, or for that matter bisexual, calls themselves q*eer. Q*eer is historically used by gay men of New York in the early 1900s (Gay New York: gender, urban culture and the making of the gay male world, 1890-1940, page 101) but has been then reclaimed as a label for spicy straights and genderlosers after becoming an obvious slur towards homosexuals. So not the people who the word belongs to. We REALLY don't need to be reclaiming slurs because it really serves no benefit. People who are not completely straight (or gay) are bisexual. The way you are just so eager to erase the word bisexual with a slur and '' fluid '' lmao. There's no need for either word. Gay, bi, straight. So easy, so simple! All backgrounds make sense to be gay.

And what kind of character "makes sense" to be gay? Gating will ultimately only serve straight people, particularly bigoted straight people who just don't want to share content with LGBT people. Gays will not get an equal amount of content, they never have, and they definitely won't get the bulk of it. The notion that a more sexually fluid/open character is somehow less deep or less well-realized/written than a character with strict limitations is homophobic. The notion that a character can only have a particular sexuality if it "makes sense for their background" is homophobic. You're basically saying that pansexuality and sexual fluidity are less valid than other identities, and that only certain types of people can be queer. And besides being homophobic, it is also complete and utter bugfucking nonsense. You DO NOT ACTUALLY KNOW the sexualities of any of the world's most well-known and well-regarded characters. You're just making assumptions. There's nothing stopping Elizabeth Bennet, Frodo, or even famous womanizers like Captain Kirk or James Bond from being attracted to people of the same sex. Their sexualities are not explicitly detailed, ever. And you don't expect them to be, because you assume based on what you see that they are 100% straight. Only queer/fluid characters are *ever* expected to explain their sexualities (just like queer people in real life are expected to justify their existence), but you are not entitled to even know a character's sexuality, let alone expect an explanation for it, and you certainly aren't owed romanceable characters who are only in your group, and fit your ridiculous definition of "well-written". When you meet pan/fluid people in real life, do you say "well that's pretty shallow and unrealisitic"? Only if you're a bigoted asshole. You wouldn't be simping this hard for this '' fluid '' nonsense if it was gay characters or characters presumed to be gay suddenly being fluid and discovering their heterosexual attraction and urges. Unless of course you are that deep into this obviously homophobic rhetoric about fluidness of sexuality that is only ever forced upon already gay people. And stop saying q*eer when you obviously mean SSA people. What is the reason to say q*eer? It's a horrible homophobic slur. None of what I even said had anything to do with how certain sexuality only fits certain characters. Why are you so unhinged?

But regardless, lots of people get super attached to their characters (to a degree, this makes sense, because they've invested time in making and developing the character, and imagining complex justifications for the choices they make from the limited pool, etc etc). And this naturally leads to greater attachment to the party members because the line between protag and player is somewhat blurred. Solas isn't just romancing "The Inquisitor", he's also romancing "you", and therefore Solas doesn't just wrong The Inquisitor, he wrongs YOU. And people want the personal catharsis of revenging themselves on him that the entire history of narrative tradition has taught them to expect. I feel like most of the Solasmancers want to redeem him. Which I've always found very weird because Solas is a genocidal turbo racist who was very clearly emotionally abusive towards a romanced Inquisitor. I think any Inquisitor who picked that '' I love him '' and the '' Let me come with you '' option in Trespasser, they should automatically have a bad ending in DA4. Death, sacrifice, turned into abomination, you take your pick. I think that's a fitting fate. With Inquisitor being so uninteresting and roleplaying being pretty scarce in DA:I in general, really enthusiastic players have had to figure out their own lore and stories, probably moreso than in the previous entries, and now those players are more or less fixated on the stories they've created over years and years. That probably adds to the general interest in having Inquisitor coming back, Inquisitor being such a empty character you can headcanon anything into. Sadly, come DA4, the writers will have to define a personality and a story for the Inquisitor to follow if they aren't the PC.

SO, INQUISITOR.
Do you think people actually like Inquisitor or are they are more attached to the current plot points that Inquisitor is tangled in? Because honestly, Inquisitor is a pretty boring main character. Only in Trespasser do they get better.

Not the damn romance mod discussion again. I don't use these kinds of mods, I generally agree with not modding characters to be something they are not, it's disrespectful to those who wrote them, but don't sit there and imply that the implications of romance mods are the same whether it's making gay characters straight and straight characters gay. It just enrages me that someone could be so shortsighted.

Artistic vision and having a spine in general is a pretty flimsy argument because in a corporate world, all things a game developer would like to implement cannot possibly be done. There's a limited budget and a limited time frame, and not every artistic endeavor gets a green light from the higher ups for several reasons. David Gaider wanted to make Zevran a homosexual male, but Bioware said no for instance. That's definitely not ones artistic vision coming to fruition.
I'm somehow trying to run this back to the topic of the thread and... uh, well, I guess if you champion for artistic vision and '' having a spine and not catering to everyone '' then I guess whatever happens with Inquisitor in DA4 is fine with you, after all it's the writers artistic vision and having a spine.
Heck, maybe they kill of Inquisitor at the start of the game! Now wouldn't that be something. Honestly wouldn't mind it.

It's very easy to talk about artistic vision and integrity, as well as to criticize quotas when it ultimately benefits your views, values and opinions. It's understandable to do so since all of these things are good and valuable things in paper, but considering who continuously, across all cultures and all corners of entertainment CONSTANTLY GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK NO MATTER WHAT, I can't force myself to give a rats fucking ass about having a spine, integrity and vision when I just want a tiny bit of the consideration others get.

- No squadmate romance (everyone else had one) - No explicit sex scene (everyone else had one) - No alien romance (everyone else had one) - Least amount of options (everyone else had more, albeit the extra options were flings) - The male bisexual romance had much better animations for the female counterpart - The gay male character was easily the most unimportant character in the entire ship, shoved way way back into the ship and had the least amount of screen time. He was barely present for the group conversation, and if he was present in the group at all, he was shoved way way back and you could barely see him. - The gay male character had zero importance overall in the plot. I think there's only one story mission that he briefly makes a cameo in. Otherwise he was a complete ghost. - His plot is basically his best friend coercing him to give her his sperm so they can continue the human species and start a family together. Why is the sole gay male character given this horrid personal story? - If you romance him, you get to third wheel on this plot line by deciding to co-parent the baby and become fathers together. This makes absolutely no sense anyway whatsoever because you barely know the guy, you humped him once and suddenly you are deciding to be parents together? - If you disagree on having a baby together, the rest of the romance he has not much else to talk about except his best friend still becoming pregnant and him becoming an uncle. If you're really gonna sit there and tell me '' this is fine '' then I don't know what to tell you. Don’t forget being the only straight/bi/gay group that couldn’t get the romance achievement since it required three different characters. Oh right that as well. Man BSN sure was fun during MEA release lol. Regardless of everything, I'm going to stay realistic and even slightly pessimistic on this subject. You can't really expect anything out of DA4 or any part of it, I mean for crying out loud it was at one point a live service game and we never thought that would be a thing. And there are a lot of people who more or less expect Inquisitor back for DA4 because '' it makes sense '' (and it does to a degree) but look at the signs pointing towards nu-uh. So regarding the subject of homo, I'm not going to expect them exceed DAI (which was for the most part inoffensive and fine, but didn't like my options regardless) and I'm lowering my expectations in general. That seems more than fair, given the circumstances.

I don't know, is it? You'd think Bioware would be great about romances, diversity and inclusion or whatever you want to call it, but MEA took a steaming pile of dump on gay male content and it was so badly received that they had to add more content post-release. You'd think that wouldn't happen in a Bioware product that was released after DA:I but it did lmao. MEA had exactly same amount of gay male romances as ME3. I never saw what the problem was personally. Other than some guys being disappointed they couldn't bang aliens. - No squadmate romance (everyone else had one) - No explicit sex scene (everyone else had one) - No alien romance (everyone else had one) - Least amount of options (everyone else had more, albeit the extra options were flings) - The male bisexual romance had much better animations for the female counterpart - The gay male character was easily the most unimportant character in the entire ship, shoved way way back into the ship and had the least amount of screen time.

Not to be that guy, but is this even a big issue for Dragon Age? Every game has LGBT romance options in some form, and that is not likely to change in DA4. Barring complete romance removal, at most they are just going to make every companion bi like they did with older titles so they can leave PCs to be whatever sexuality they want and not be locked out of certain romance options. So....what's the issue? Out of all rpg games, Dragon Age seems like one of the least likely candidates to just ditch gay content. Granted, its not one the biggest features in dragon age games, but its still there. I don't know, is it? You'd think Bioware would be great about romances, diversity and inclusion or whatever you want to call it, but MEA took a steaming pile of dump on gay male content and it was so badly received that they had to add more content post-release. You'd think that wouldn't happen in a Bioware product that was released after DA:I but it did lmao.

What game am I describing? I dunno, Ecco the Dolphin? Since you seem so intent to find romantic wish fullfillment in what is essentially an action game, yeah. This isn't a genre that lends itself to this kind of stuff, no matter what orientation. Unless you're really into cringe. Okay, tell me if I'm too blue-eyed for this but which game in the past couple years that had romances and blank slate protagonists didn't have any bi- or homosexual options? I'm willing to learn on this issue. Just because you can't relate to Dorian's dilemma doesn't mean plenty of other players can't. Considering his popularity, he really seems to have hit a spot. Besides, Bull has none of the issues you cite. It's a roleplaying game.
