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

YES PLEASE. That "haha wait and see... " response (while still showing dude Ryder banging Cora and Peebs in the trailers) was so unnecessary. The people who don't want to know can avoid spoilers, but pls for the love of god don't make the rest of us suffer through THAT again.

Lol.

"TECHNICALLY straight people never got xyz either, because I didn't personally like that character."

.......
Boy am I glad I missed all the trailers for Andromeda.

Do I WANT to see DA4 trailers? O.o

This is acceptable.

reveal all LI for Valentine's Day? So basically February 2020? XD

I’m not really opposed as I am okay with just avoiding the romances. I didn’t care for either of my options in DAI so I just didn’t do it. But, when you go with something that objectionable and there are a limited number of options available to your orientation it seems to be asking for trouble.

“My only option is the slaver or the ugly rude person, great thanks BioWare”

I was a fan of player sexual as I thought it avoided all of the issues. And especially since dragon age has a canon setting so my play throughs are clearly in a alternate universe so why can x be gay or hetero in my alternate universe. But it did seem to upset people on all sides.

Player sexual is a possibility, but not one I am personally fond of because having writers only allowed to do ambiguous writings and animators only do ambiguos animations that seem more "gender neutral" so to speak. Imagine if the player female elf/human was replaced with a male in the Cullen romance scene, that to me would look rather weird... atleast to me it would.

Therefor I believe that making the animations and writing in general ambiguous lessens the possible romance that otherwise could have been.

And if there is anything I have learned is that people LOVE their romances.

Also take a character such as Solas where not only sexuality comes into play but also species, things like that can end up becoming something deeply ingrained in a character's person's, and dismissing that could potentially ruin the character.

Admittedly the sexuality thing is not as equally important as a character preferring specific species. In terms of sexuality it is mostly just the overall writing (Dialogues especially) and animations being left ambiguos which could ruin it.

Therefor I prefer to see set sexualities rather than an all bisexual cast.

I think many can agree that the romances in DA:I were far superior than those in DA2, granted, DA2 romance quality might have been because of time limitations.

I haven’t replayed dragon age games past DAO much. The gameplay is kind of clunky so usually once initially for the story and a second time as a refresher near the next games launch. In DAI Cassandra I found morally objectionable and the other lady I just didn’t like. Romances are pretty low on my priority so it’s not a big deal. Developing a friendship or antagonist is just as valid in a game.

But people do seem to get upset and raise a big stink if they feel their options are shorted in quality or quantity. And my observation leads me to believe the dragon age fan base is even more focused on romances than the mass effect one. And honestly I just want as little as a forum shit storm as possible over the issue. It seems to clog the forums going past the character section often and I start avoiding them.
