This wasn't "fanservice"! You can keep your feelings for yourself. (You spoke about you prefer straight or gay LI-s, because the bi-LIs breaks your immersion. So you said, you have problem with LIs bisexuality.) I did not say, you assumed. What I DID say was I don't have a a problem if they are playersexual. I am entitled to have a preference and I do, the same way everyone does just like you preferring m/m does not make you (hopefully) straight or bi phobic For the third time, I don't care if they're bi, but I don't like LIs to be changed for fan service, you know, when they were written one way and got changed just to please the fans Now, about Nitpicking parts of my comments and ignoring others to find an excuse to pick a fight or get offended, idk if you are trying to troll me or just get some attention but don't assume you know me or the way I think or even my own sexual preference over a comment on a forum about characters that don't exist Now you've wasted enough of my time with this joke, if you want to have a discussion and address our differences or see where the other is coming from you are welcome to IM me. If you are just bored, trolling or trying to invalidate anyone who doesn't have the same preference than you, then leave me alone I have no patience for assholes You wrote, don't you? Reyes IS bisexual, not playersexual. You have problems with bisexual LIs, because it "breaks your immersion", if you see a video about anyone romance them with opposite gender character than you. SO: you don't bother, if you see Reyes romance with another sysRyder, but "breaks your immersion", if you see Reyes romance with a broRyder. This was clear as a fresh mountain spring! And you wrote: Kaidan and Jaal being bi, because of "fanservice", but this was NOT a stupid "fanservice"! That was a correction of a big mistake. You can believe, everyone would happy, if they wouldn't make this mistake first.

I don't get the argument of "seeing this or that character romancing the other gender character breaks my immersion" against bi-sexual characters like Reyes either. Overall, if seeing other folks' games is not a great idea for your enjoyment of the game, I just won't watch u-tube. It's not just a romance thing. I mean, in my mind the Inquisitor is a Qunari....

Yeah that's what I do when I romance a bi character or one that can romance different races, for example Iron Bull romancing anyone who's not a dwarf or Sera with a non qunari just filter out the other race/ gender I just believe it is a very different thing when the character is written to be bisexual than when it is just fan service (it's kind of offensive to me as a bisexual woman) I don't mind if they've had other romances with a different gender as Zevran did on DAO, because it made a character that was conceived as bi richer and more complex, but it does break my immersion to see the other gender/ race getting the exact same story especially for bro/sis Ryder cause it feels like my LI is cheating on my Ryder with their sibling.

Okay, you're bisexual, but I still can't understand you. You can't romance Reyes with sis and broRyder both in one game... And why not problem, if you see another a sisRyder with Reyes in video, if you plays a sisRyder with him, and why problem, if you see Reyes in a video with broRyder? I just want to understand. And why you watch videos, if you don't like it? And: I understand your feeling, if you think about, that Jaal's/Kaidan's sexuality CHANGED. But not changed. I just see this moment. And Jaal is bi, Kaidan is bi. As it should have been from the beginning. Sorry. I was very happy, when Kaidan romance became available in ME3. And I now will be happy with Jaal, because I wasn't happy with Gil romance. But I was happy with Reyes, who was bisexual from the beginning. Anders, Fenris, Zevran, Kaidan and Reyes, and yes, Bull: all my favorite romances is bi, and If I don't want to see video, I will not watch video...

I see where you are coming from, the thing is I don't know how else to explain it, I suppose we just have different ideas of what is immersion breaking. Ok, for example You talk about Kaiden becoming available on ME3 but since he was available to femshep since ME1, I'm guessing it was probably immersion breaking for you to play a straight romance even if you didn't mind seeing someone else's playthrough with a femshep/ Kaiden romance if you get stuck at some point in the game For me it is the opposite, I don't mind playing a character different than myself to get the romance I want, I can play a straight male no problem to romance Jack but if I see her giving the same romance lines to a femshep it breaks my immersion. The same way it is immersion breaking for some ppl to see women wearing pants in a medieval setting or characters with few clothes on ice deserts. If you think about it a lot of the choices we make like keeping our helmet on, having short hair or hair up for while in combat, etc are driven by it. Other than that, I'm not sure we can find a middle ground for this, can we just agree to disagree and call it a day?

Other than that, I'm not sure we can find a middle ground for this, can we just agree to disagree and call it a day? Yes, Jack is a good example. (I even didn't see, why she wasn't available with fem!Shep.) I don't have femShepard, so, I only had done Kaidan romance with M!Shepard, but was never problem to see in video him and femShep. This is another world, not mine.I'm more pragmatic in this relation: my pt-s is just mine, and every pt has a separated world. For example, I don't really have a problem with romance Fenris in one game, and knowing that he perhaps will go bed with Isabela, if my Hawke chose Anders in the another game. In this game Hawke not in love with Fenris, and I can ignore that possible affair (true, I would prefer, if Isabela would choose Merrill, they just nice together, and I don't see, that Fenris shows interest toward Isabela). And even don't have any problem, if Dorian and Bull ending together in a pt, if my Inquisitor doesn't have interesting toward them in this game. Even don't have any problem, if I see femHawke with Anders (and also true, if I'm curious to a rivalry romance with him, I prefer watching it with femHawke). True, Zevran's constant flirts annoy me, and also annoying, that they never fixed DA2 romance bug with Zevran. In the case of Reyes, what's annoyed me, the fact that the male romance animation was lame at the beginning, to compare with sysRyder, but they fixed it. I could prefer the gay LI, of course, but probably we never could have a chance for a plot relevant gay LI. The outrage probably would kill him/her yet during the design phase. I feel similar if I see that the characters wear only a few clothes in ice desert... for example Varric in Haven. So there is one thing that we agree with. Anyway, I'm sorry, if I was rough.

Well, I was not offended a single bit when sexuality was bi to star with, or added in a later game or added post release, even though in both cases of change it took a romance "exclusive" to my RL sexuality and made it available to all avatars. I cannot see six to ten romances per game working well and alll of them being solid, interesting romances with a lot of content and plot investment. Four or three -sure. Six or ten -no, not going to happen, so there always going be the characters that will get a better romance, and when sexuality is restricted, people will feel sidelined based on their RL preferences in some way, because they can't get the best romance. In Andromeda it was gay guys that did not have a squadie, in Inquisition you had to do a specific race to get a plot important rom or the most interesting guy for a girl... meh. And it really annoys me to be forced to play a male to get a good romance, because so many games do make you play a male. So, sure, Dorian is great in that he is a plot-important gay LI, but i am rerolling a male. Again. And my one run of Inquisition ends up with a male protagonist and it was not my preference, because I actually quite like female Qunari and thought it was awesome to play one.
It's so frustrating, after years and years, of most LIs being females, finally we get more male npc that has romance added to them, but it's now red-lighted for female PCs because of the fashion for exclusivity.
In DA2 you could romance whoever you liked, and nobody's bussiness with what char. For me that's clearly the best. Being forced to replay the game sucks. Quality >>> quantity, and the custom-made sexuality really pushes the quantity up and drops quality down. In romances, less is more, and I will switch my opinion the day I play a game with six to ten amazing plot important romances where I can play what I want and romance just the npc I liked. On my very first PT without studying the charts and faking my PC to match an NPC's compatibility.

Set orientation. Just please, as long as representation of sexual minorities is a stated priority, have a m/m (especially gay m/m) in the party (especially if its a larger one) or a MAJOR non-party NPC with major scenes.
Really if a MEA2 has a m/m only squadmate and I like it, I'll shut my trap forever on this matter.
However, I don't necessarily hate playersexual (I just don't prefer it), and I even wonder about 'playersexual' (like, overtly, lol) companions and how that'd go. Someone only ever in love with PC? Ahaha!
I'm okay with m/m and f/f having less, actually. I just want enough legitimacy, especially if that's supposedly important to Bioware peeps. I think so far DAI has done this the best of all Bioware games, even with whatever critiques we could level against it. Even if they cut f/f from Josephine and m/m from Iron Bull, I might have said the same (but not as confidently).

And I felt that DA3 was a huge step compared to DA2, severely limiting my options in my choice of the PC. I lived with it until A1 made Jaal's romance bisexual. Now that they did, I am even more convinced that the restrictions are purely gratuitous, and whenever they are in place, it will be unfair to someone. In other words, I want it to be truly egalitarian, rather than everyone jealously watching& counting what each group got. I don't think we should have to roll a character of a specific gender to see the content that interests us.

I don't think everyone jealously watches and I think the counting is done by quite a minority (which included me this time).
I do think Bioware considers what this minority wants more than other companies, and that its personally important to many of them.

I prefer my companions with distinct personalities of their own because it makes the exprience more realistic, and Set orientations make it easier to develop the character. Dorian being gay is the perfect example for that. I feel like if everybody is available for every protagonist, it takes something away from their personalities so if I have to play as a female elf to see what Solas romance is like, I'm fine with it

A bi Dorian with more content, and more obvious romantic interjections throughout the game, is way more preferable to me to scattered content across BW, Solas, Cullen and Bull. I'd rather have one intense PT with a grand romance story that is there and matters than running the game 4 times to be disappointed with a dialogue here and a quest there. it's too unfocused. i very much mind having to restart the game that huge multiple times. It's not ME2.

Imo only Anders and Isabela should've been bi in DA2, but I cannot think Alistair, Morrigan, Dorian or Cassandra as bi for example. It's about their personalities, not preferences of players

It's about their personalities, not preferences of players And I don't see that impeding on their personalities. Picking fewer and more interesting/bright characters and letting the player decide what makes sense to him or her, personally imo is a win-win.

It's not ME2. If Dorian becomes bi, he loses nearly everything that makes him awesome, and he has the most romance content in the game it would be ridicilous to add more for him. If you don't like other male romance options, look for female romance options that's the beauty of RPGs

I prefer key character be bisexual. Many people like to play his/her own preference. Anders was almost perfect. Imo only Anders and Isabela should've been bi in DA2, but I cannot think Alistair, Morrigan, Dorian or Cassandra as bi for example. It's about their personalities, not preferences of players What was in Cassandra's personality, which would prevent her bisexuality? She crush of Hawke: I don't see, why wouldn't Cassandra bisexual? And Alistair/Morrigan also key characters.

I feel that Dorian is a perfect example of the opposite, how artificial restrictions prevented a truly cool romance being available for a great male character, and instead we get a smattering of barely there romances with far less interesting male PCs. A bi Dorian with more content, and more obvious romantic interjections throughout the game, is way more preferable to me to scattered content across BW, Solas, Cullen and Bull. I'd rather have one intense PT with a grand romance story that is there and matters than running the game 4 times to be disappointed with a dialogue here and a quest there. it's too unfocused. i very much mind having to restart the game that huge multiple times.

Not I wrote his story, but his background determined his personality.

And Alistair/Morrigan also key characters. She has a passion for ideal romances for one, you know a prince on a white horse and shining armor and all, plus she has a crush on male Hawke not femHawke Yes Alistair and Morrigan are key but they wouldn't works as bi imo (unlike Zevran and Leliana), as I've said it's about their personalities not their roles

A rogue/mage (non-Trevelyan noble) male Inquisitor more knight than a fem!warrior? Or what mean KISA for you? I don't see, what's would be the problem....

I don't like Cass with non-Trevelyan that's true, and I really don't know it just doesn't click for me something is amiss in the thought of Cass romancing female characters.

She loved a Circle Mage before, not noble. How you know, that she crushed on only MALE Hawke?

Cass with mage Trevelyan is very good, just like Cullen with a mage PC it let's them out of their comfort zone, I didn't mean a warrior I meant human with KISA because all Trevelyans are nobility Because after the Arishok fight Varric asks Cassandra if she developed a hero worship if Hawke is female and she says that she respects her
