Cass was alright but not the type I would date. Male options did suck. But playing female I get decent choices Male options? Straight guys had Cassandra, that was basically it. Josie was Okay, But also bi.

Josie was Okay, But also bi. Both being human also killed any chance for romancing another race, since Gaider is against dwarf romance and didn't add a female qunari because he didn't want them to be just eye candy. And the only female elf was into girls only. Not really a ton of options. Straight male characters had exactly the same number of options in DAI as gay male characters, lesbian characters and straight female dwarves and qunari. It's only straight female humans and elves who got extra. (And bi/pan characters, but that's just how that works and nothing to do with how BioWare divided the romances.)

And in pretty much every other game, the number of LIs available to straight males greatly exceeds that available to every other compbination of gender and sexuality.

Ohhh, there've been several insecure straight guys over the years who think their fictional bisexual waifu is going to leave them for another woman.

Also that is bullshit not wanting her to just be eye candy. Don't make her eye candy then, make her a bad ass. Fuck that person.

Gays and lesbians should have the most options in DA4 Disclaimer: I do not support the idea of giving less to other people (out of spite or otherwise), or imply that quantity > quality. So don't nag me okay?!

So don't nag me okay?! I literally only want a fem qunari. You can have all other options but just throw me that bone I'm sure there will be a fem qunari, but whether she is available men and/or women remains to be seen. The constant bitching and moaning by male players about Cassandra being a man and ugly has probably annoyed the dev team to the point of not wanting to add an even vaguely butch female character to the straight man's dating pool (tall, muscular women included). Of course, that really depends on if they'll be more faithful to DA:I adaption of qunari or the comic adaption (where they are just sexy elves with horns, women that is). But either way, count your blessings. And I say that to all the gay men who want a gay KISA, as well. DA:I didn't have an male elf romance for gays and there hasn't been a gay elf yet. And it's not like the devs are going to NOT give the women a knightly romance, lol, so at most you (or rather we) are getting a bi KISA, AT MOST. Or then I'm just completely wrong about everything.

I prefer non humans so the options in inquisition were kind of a bummer for me. I feel ya though, I think the romance options will be the main factor in if I get the next dragon age or not.

I know Bioware kind of set themselves up as a dating sim at this point, and it's fun to speculate, but I feel like some people take this a tad too seriously. If each player has at least one option regardless of orientation without one orientation obviously favored over the others, then I'll be happy. If none of them appeal to me personally, I'll just have to deal.

If none of them appeal to me personally, I'll just have to deal. The only thing Dragon Age has over other RPGs is companions and romance, but everywhere else they are just average (to me). If TES6 manages to make romances work (and give them set sexualities) then I can honestly say Dragon Age will take a backseat to single player RPGs.

It's cute that you can pick your character's space/fantasy waifu but people on here get utterly ridiculous over what is effectively 10 minutes of extra dialouge for your compainion of choice. I'm far more interested in the types of things we'll learn about Tevinter/Qunari/Elfy lore and the sort of new people/monsters I'll get to smash over the head with a shield in the next DA game than who or what my ingame avatar is gonna bang okay (everything, just because I can).

I highly recommend doing a run where you do not discover that you are the Dragonborn. Sadly, a consequence of this is that you can't buy Breezehome, the most convenient/central home. True, but I play on PC and haven't used a standard player home in ages. Mods ftw.

Only as long as it's dwarf-dwarf romance because he's got the idea that "female dwarfs look like young girls" stuck in his head. And because having only dwarf-dwarf romance (involving the protagonist) is a big fat waste of resources ...

And because having only dwarf-dwarf romance (involving the protagonist) is a big fat waste of resources ... During development somebody romanced Alistair with a baby-faced female dwarf with pigtails. He said that that sex scene skeeved him out, not that all female dwarves look like young girls.

I'd like a saarebas character to romance in the next game, preferably female. Just stick horns on Cassandra or borrow her prominent cheekbones. Although, if she's as devout and rigourous follower of the Qun as Cassandra is to the Maker, she won't possess the impulsivity, fervency, and intermittent solemnity of my favourite Seeker.
Bioware made such a mistake giving her to straight men. All that lesbian/bi KISA potential languishing before the disdainful, it breaks my gay little heart.
