How *unappealing* do you predict straight male romance options will be in DA4?

I did not want a "standard" Qunari romance, I wanted an unusual, dramatic, romanticized Qunari romance with someone who rebels against the Qun. But who is romantic. Not casual. And looks drop-dead gorgeous. And a male. The world's literature is full of the tales of the forbidden and atypical love stories, not the "standard/casual" ones.

Dorian's in-game romance for a male is not a "normal" relationship with a Tevinter mage. I wish IB's was just as unusual and romantic for a female... or any other male that would romance ALL females for that matter.

Obviously, there are casual stories as well, and some people really like them, but it is not something I want to experience in a videogame, because that's dime a dozen in RL. It's cool to have them included for those who want them, but I wish it did not come at the expense of the exclusion of the old-fashioned grand lovestory.

And a grand lovestory is specifically what I am missing in DAI for a female Qunari PC. Who is Tal'Vashoth and a child of the parents that obviously escaped the Qun to be able to feel the way they want to feel.

When I played a male Qunari, I was torn when choosing between Cassandra and Dorian, but that was not replicated at all as a female one, she's got nothing & that irks me as much as the OP's is sour about Cassandra's jawline. In ideal world, I'd played a female Qunari romancing Dorian, and a male one romancing Cassandra. That would have been sooo perfect.

Well I mean...




Anyone want to play a game of '' which one is Fabio and which one is Sten ''

Nah, I agree with that entirely. No combination is impossible, it was just a random backstory I picked. 

Eww...  Who is that aging pornstar escaped from the 70s? *shudder*

On the right... is that your type?

You're right, of course, but I have to wonder why Lace Harding wasn't a side piece, analogous to ME Kelly Chambers or Diana Allers ... okay, now I'm talking myself out of this idea ...

I don't understand. All BW fanbase care about is romances anyway; just look at the devs calling romances in Andromeda to be akin to softcore porn. Why can't OP suggest what he likes for future BW titles. If he thinks the women were ugly, so be it. I don't see the problem.

Sounds like you've got it!  Thank you for trying to understand.

Serza That's Vaea from the Knight Errant comic.

Without spoiling anything, I thought it was muuuch better than any of the other DA comics. Worth a read.

Wait a minute. Those aren't lectures about the qunari, they're Bull answering the Inquisitor's questions about the qunari. Don't want the lecture? Don't ask the questions.
