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

Yeah I really don't know. If there's one thing you can say about the DA writers it's that they create characters THEY want to write, and not necessarily what the players want. Sometimes that can be frustrating if they're continuing to play into annoying tropes, but on the other hand, they really pay "but she has a jaw shaped like a man's!" type rubbish no mind and just write what they want. 

They have also stated that they write/conceive of all the characters first and THEN decide afterward who will be the romances. (Dorian, being Gaider's lifelong personal project, was probably different.)

So to that end I'd say it's all up in the air for now. I think they DO take some things into consideration, like the desire for a gay KISA (I'd wager they're less aware of the wlw desire for one). BUT when it comes down to it, they will stick to their usual principles and write the characters they personally feel belong in the narrative. In other words, if a writer is envisioning an elven slave as an important character and potential companion, so long as she makes her case to the head writer, I imagine she'll get the co-ahead. Once all characters are created and narrative is solid, then each writer will say whether they feel their character(s) should or shouldn't be a LI. 

Or so it's been explained in the past to us!
