Now hopefully the bi men mention past male lovers cause thats something Bioware hasnt done yet with their bi men lol but I'M MARRYING DAVRIN WITH A DUDE SO IM BEYOND HAPPY HAHAHA Actually they did that with Anders in DA2. It turned out the love of his life was the guy they turned tranquil and then asked Anders to kill him. However, you only learn about their past relationship if you are his male lover. A female lover is never told about it.

IGN has confirmed that you can romance any options regardless of your character's race and gender.
Now hopefully the bi men mention past male lovers cause thats something Bioware hasnt done yet with their bi men lol but I'M MARRYING DAVRIN WITH A DUDE SO IM BEYOND HAPPY HAHAHA I honestly hope it will be either omitted, unless prompted or in context. I just really hate when my LI talk about their exses. And do you have to have past lovers to be bi? What if Rook is the first one?

This, I don't really care about to hear about the past stuff if there is any. I feel like it could just be optional, like ask the right questions and those determine if the character leans one way or another. Since they're doing playrsexual, they could be anything after all.

Neve definitley is looking more likely to be a romance option. All 7 are romance options and there is no gender/race lock. Add that if you don't romance them, some will get together instead.
I can already hear the The Veilguard orgy fanfics in the making...

I doesn't care what it is in BG3 but the romancesystem was creepy.

Do you think we get a companion that betray us like Morrigian, Anders and Solas? Or does we get a lier like Zevran, Isabella and Blackwall?

In The Missing, Varric says " I've never been in a group that didn't get backstabbed" when Charter ask him to create a group to go after Solas...so I expect nobody will.

I honestly hope it will be either omitted, unless prompted or in context. I just really hate when my LI talk about their exses. Even worse is when some spirit pretending to be human blurts it out after reading their mind (I'm looking at your Cole). I thought I was doing so well with Dorian and then I'm told he's still thinking about some guy he lusted after in Tevinter. I do hope we don't get anything similar this time round as it really killed the mood with me. In fact I found a lot of Cole's monologues highly inappropriate and he never seemed to take the hint when people objected. How come he never detected how uncomfortable it made the person feel whose secrets he had just revealed? Hopefully, we don't get a repeat with Manfred. I wonder if he can speak or is a silent servant? Audric was able to speak in Tevinter Nights but he was still in his old body that was reanimated after it died, a bit like Justice in DAA really, but Manfred is an actual skeleton, although I suppose there is no reason why that should limit his ability to speak as it would be the spirit that was communicating.

Personally, I'm cool with it when characters talk about their exes and flirt with other characters. They're supposed to be characters with their own thoughts, goals, motivations, likes, dislikes, and desires - not sex dolls for players to just pick up and play with and toss when they're done with them. Which is also another reason I prefer set sexualities to playersexual/all pan characters since many people want the latter types of characters to only have sexual agency in accordance to the whims of the player as we can see in this thread. But, that's just me.

Personally, I'm cool with it when characters talk about their exes and flirt with other characters. I don't object when that's their choice. What I objected to was Cole blurting out information uncalled for. If Dorian had wanted to tell me that was fine but it was like someone gossiping after being told something in confidence. Then I was stuck with information I'd rather not have heard and I am sure Dorian never wanted to tell me either. Perhaps he was just being wistful about the former guy because he hadn't ever taken it any further as a relationship and wished he had now he knew how fulfilling our relationship was. I was okay with that but it would have been better if he had told me himself or was given the opportunity to say something to me specifically after Cole spilled the beans on him, but that didn't happen, so I was left to fill in the gaps for myself. I never had a problem with Zevran telling me about his past (dead) love of his life. It was relevant to explaining his current situation and even how he felt about my character. That was the difference between the two.

From what I remember, Dorian seemed to be okay with Cole bringing those thoughts forward compared to Vivienne, for example, who reacts curtly to this, so it didn't really register as something that really bothered Dorian to me. If it bothered you personally, then I have no idea what to say. You get various interactions with Cole ever since he appears where you see that this is his entire shtick so if you didn't want to hear Cole blurt things out unbidden about companions, you should've not recruited him or just not used him as a party member.

How come he never detected how uncomfortable it made the person feel whose secrets he had just revealed? As someone with autism, I felt Cole was very relatable for this exact reason. I can't imagine it was intentional, but for me he was a very surprising, accidental representation which I very much appreciated.

could someone attach images of each companion to see how they look? because personality wise, seems like it's the typical modern real life teenage group that really has no charisma factor or anything whatsoever, so would be nice to have images to get refreshed on how they look, because seems like in this game i will either have to go full no life nerd, or it will be the first game with romance that i will simply not romance anybody.

I do understand as I have worked with many students with autism. It is just my students couldn't read my mind but Cole could and as a spirit of compassion should have sensed it was upsetting me. That's the difference.

From what I remember, Dorian seemed to be okay with Cole bringing those thoughts forward He was most upset when Cole recalled his memories about his father. He definitely asked him to stop then. However, this was the exchange I was referring to: Dorian: That little trick, Cole, when you dip into someone's mind and take a drink? Dorian: Do you choose what you're looking for, or is it random? Cole: It has to be hurt, or a way to help the hurt. That's what calls me. Cole: Rilienus, skin tan like fine whiskey, cheekbones shaded, lips curl when he smiles. Cole: He would have said yes. Dorian: I'll... thank you not to do that again, please. It doesn't sound like Dorian was okay with it and I wondered why it still hurt him because according to Cole he wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I think perhaps it was something totally random and they hadn't programmed it so it wasn't there if he was in a relationship with you but it is what it is.
