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

Why not?

To be fair, I think such options actually encourage replayability, and to try new things.

I doubt I would have created a female inquisitor without the Solas romance, for example.  

I think such conditional flags (and not just in romances) enhances role-playing.  

But, different strokes, I guess.

I am not a victim. I responded to the questions when they were asked directly. If people chose to feel hurt it was not my intention. I have tried to avoid anything but neutral language . I answered every question honestly and earnestly. I asked for clarification when I did not get why or what was said.

How has this thread not been closed? The title alone is offensive and the content within these 23 24 pages isn't much better.

What does finding a mod "disagreeable" mean in this context?

Short version - modding Dorian to like women in a romantic sense.

Long version - there are many pages previous to this containing the whole sordid mess.

PapaCharlie9 But players don't have to choose them if they don't want. I never take that dialogue path with Krem, just as I don't take that path with Dorian. Neither do I ask Dorian if he was involved with Felix, or ask Leliana if she was involved with Justinia. I typically have a respect for personal boundaries. In addition, the circumstances where some questions are available -- asking about Felix after Dorian has just learned of his death -- seem inappropriate, so I skip them.

Because I don't take such options normally, I'm not even sure if I was aware that Krem was trans before coming to the forums. It's been over three years since my first play of DAI, so I honestly don't remember. When I first met Krem, I thought he was a warrior-woman in the same vein as Avaline, not a transman. I don't recall other dialogues or pronoun usage, or what I thought at the time. Since there are cis women among the Chargers, like Dalish, the instance of Bull calling them "my men" and so forth doesn't have significance.

I think it IS good to have such options, not only for players who might in fact be clueless -- Krem's vague reference to breast binding can certainly go over the heads of players -- but to allow for those roleplay options. Now, I will say that there are limitations to roleplay options, and the devs have been clear in that they do not want to allow the PC to have certain bigoted options; that is their prerogative. But asking questions, or clueless options? Sure, why not?

I look at it in the same vein as any other number of options available in the game since DAO. A dwarf noble should know what noble hunters are, yet the option is there to ask. A mage should know certain things about magic and demons, yet the options are there to ask. A human noble should know certain things about Andrastianism, whether they believe or not, yet the options are there to ask; they should know about Loghain, or that Cailan and Anora are childless, yet the options are there to ask. I have no problem whatsoever with those sort of questions in dialogue.

Take them, or not, it's up to the player. But I don't have anything against their existence in the game.

Weren't those investigate options and therefore skippable?

Basically, that argument can be made for any option, including the prejudiced ones.
