DA 4 Romances! New info for real this time!!! Zom-bangin'?

I'm surprised DA comics don't have more gay/bi dudes, just the obligatory Dorian here and there. I hope that isn't foretelling for DA4. Dorian needs to piss off, he is not that great.

Calix looks really meh though. No thanks for me.

Also this '' promiscuous '' gay men trope isn't something Bioware has been doing, but '' promiscuous bi man who seems to prefer women '' does ring a bell. Promiscuousity isn't something I'm worried about personally but I don't think it's attractive in a person to shag several people just for the fun of it.

It would be just nice for a bi dude to openly and casually (or less casually) flirt or show interest in men, not as a way to make straight companions uncomfortable either, but just because... he is interested in men as well as women.

Yeah, for me, it’s not the promiscuity that bothers me. It’s that literally every bisexual male character has shown a preference for females.

Sky - has a dead wife and has never thought of being with a man until the PC propositions him; has to ‘think about it’ before the romance can continue; locked behind ‘are you sure?’ dialogue options

Zevran - talks about a bunch of past lovers, but only explicitly mentions one man (a prince); hits on all of the female companions even after you’ve romanced him as a guy; locked behind ‘are you sure?’ dialogue options

Fenris - ends up sleeping with isabela if unromanced; has ‘Is it because I’m a man?’ dialogue options

Anders - mentions women a lot during DA:A but no men; has his m/m content locked behind male Hawke only restriction so female Hawkes don’t see it

Kaiden - mentions his attraction to asari on several occasions: no attraction to males other than PC; m/m romance is the same animations/dialogue as the straight one but is missing several scenes

Bull - mentions his attraction to red headed women and/or elven women and/or serving girls several times; in fairness, he does romance Dorian if both are unromanced but this is only triggered if you have them both in the party for enough dialogue to occur

Reyes - has an ex-girlfriend in the game; no mention of attraction to other men unless flirted with by the male PC

I have no issue with bisexual guys preferring females. It happens. But it would be nice to have one that prefers males or at least doesn’t have mandatory ‘I also like girls’ content in your face. It happens with the m/m content a lot (hiding it behind the gendered flirts), so let’s reverse it and have a bisexual guy who openly discusses his attraction to men and even prefers men over women. I’m down for that!

I want the Prince Charming archetype but in gay, if they focus that essence into a non-human for me is not the same, an insult even. It's like saying that gay humans can not be in that kind of roles, so big no, I had enough with seeing chivalry stuff being cut from m/m romances to see that again, Kaidan is an example. Human or bust. Delris was just a waste and I hate he's dead because I'm a mage trash.

After that, they can do KISA of every race and I would be the happiest gaymer in this planet since I tend to prefer non-humans

Well Bioware have never done a chivalrous male character before that fancy men before (Kaidan and Jaal dont count because we had to fight for them) so I wouldnt call it a reach, just #facts.

I feel like there’s this weird perception (rightly or wrongly) that the overall Mass Effect fanbase is slightly more... bro-y than the Dragon Age fanbase. Their romance options have always seemed to be more conservative than the DA ones, long before Andromeda.

the Alistair's rose scene or how awkwardly he is when he's asking you to spend the night together? I want that in gay   I dont care if he's young or old tbh  but I loved the sapiness from Alistair, even his childish personality lol

Well, that's hard to measure, but the dev team did seem more bro-y, given that they were super against a gay male Shepard for two games, while having all other types of romances from the start. Even they themselves undermined the defense they had that Shepard is never gay ("because the Asari are monogendered and not female"), by adding Kelly in ME2.

bitch what! Dwarves are just tiny hoomans, call me when you taste that precious angara' gogurt  



for real, a dwarf that can lift you -a person twice his size- with his strong arms...





This, Dorian was close to that being flamboyant but imo was handled badly with his backstory and all, I would like to see feminine gay guys without real gay angst plz. Same with butch lesbians, Bioware tend to do their f/f characters super feminine to appease their bro fanbase. 

I would be ALL OVER a butch lesbian warrior lady.  Give me that Sara Ramirez butch realness and I'll make a little 'chapstick lesbian' dwarf so quickly, your head will spin.  LOL.
