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

Isn't Rivain matriarchal? There might actually be a point to it there....

For me in DAI, Bulls romance was pretty much perfect for me. His personal quest was relevant/interesting, the romance itself had a nice progression, he had muscles and made puns which is a huge plus  . The only thing what annoyed me was his small head (I didn't intend to make this filthy pun... honest  , there was no better expression!). He had the broad shoulders/neck and the big horns but then he had a marble for a head. It just looked out of place. Anyway if DA4 had someone similar to Iron Bull, I would be chuffed. 

However if I'm thinking about a new romance altogether, I'm not too fussed about the appearance as long as they have an Irish accent  .
Ideally, let's have something like a happy-go-lucky Robin Hood type Qunari with an Irish accent. 

Bioware give me an Irish LI please, it can be a companion but I would even take an NPC or anything really. Otherwise I'll have to settle with the lyrium idol  .

I look forward to seeing our choices. If we could entertain a little wish fulfillment...I would love to have some romanceable dwarf options for everybody. And it would be nice to have a female qunari available for relationships in one of the next installments.

Oh, almost forgot! Bioware gamers need a strong female warrior for gay romancing!

I mean, gay male dwarf KISA (Rock Knocker/Legion of the Dead) is literally my #1 wish for the series.  Make him a ginger and I'm officially the happiest DA fan ever.

But I typically run at least one female playthrough as well, so por que no los dos, right?  My first (male) character can get with the gay dwarf KISA and my second (female) character can get with the Cass-like lady KISA (extra bonus points if she's a qunari or dwarf as well).   And the my third playthrough will go for the other m/m LI.  That's why I've got three canon states going right now (although two of them share the same DA2 outcome since that game is bootleg and I don't have it in me to play through as a female character - who, if it ever happens, would romance Isabela).  

But, like you said, I suspect we wouldn't get both of these in the same game.  So I might have to wait until 2027 or 2028 to get them both.  LOL.  

I mean, DA2 had Aveline and Seb, DAI had Cassandra and Cullen (and Blackwall, if you count him). I don't see it as far-fetched. One of them could be bi!

Aveline wasn't romanceable, but she wasn't necessarily straight either. She gives both male and female Hawke a smooch if you flirt with her enough.

I don't know why they wouldn't. Straight people have romanced rogues and mages in every game (Morrigan, Leliana, Zevran, Isabela, Merrill, Anders, Sebastian, Solas, Josie[sorta]), ultimately it just doesn't strike me as anything unusual for the two "wholesome warrior" types in a party to be gay or bi.

I'm more curiously interacting with the idea then feeling anything so dramatic about it. I roll other genders to romance all options, so regardless of how they Sexually-prefarize them (aw, such a mangled lazy verb) I'll get what I want out of the content. So far I've been lucky in that when I roll my female whatever, I've always found someone I like among the bi and straight people available.

MEA was the first time I ever didn't find a single person to lurve among all the options and that was a very strange experience for me. Closest was Avela who only offers a a male Ryder a kiss before saying her career is her focus right now. Everyone else was very much like... I think when MEA2 rolls round, I would be very okay with importing a single Ryder.

That seems like a dangerous expectation 

I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation. I know I felt that for the first time with Sera. My inner self was like, YES THANK YOU I LOVE HER, 10/10 WOULD (AND DID) ROMANCE AGAIN. Then I went back to DA2, rolled a female Hawke and fell in love with Isabela. And there are lots of LIs and romances I've liked even if they weren't strictly up my alley, know what I'm sayin'.

I hope everyone has at least one romance in the franchise that makes them feel like that. Though ideally it'd be more like one or two per game! Just something that makes you happy to revisit the romance every playthrough and nerd out about it online.

I mean the characters and romances I'd like to love are there, they are just locked out of my preference. It's just that I'm a militant gay, and I'm just looking out for that one gay I will devote my nerdism to. 
I said before but if Sera was a gay dude, hell yeah I wouldn't even ask for gay dudes in DA4 (okay that's kind of a lie but still). Or if Blackwall was open for dudes, I'd be really content and would be going to DA4 with extremely open minds and without many expectations or needs.

It's a bit stupid and vain I guess, locking myself out like this, out of content I'd enjoy but hey, it's my dirty stinking vain life and i'll make things hard for myself if I want to!!!! 

I'm not going to play as anything other than a gay man, so I don't consider other romances to be available at all. I only ever bought DAO in the first place BECAUSE it allowed me to play as my authentic self, in a way no game had previously.

If any straight person think that's frivolous or stupid, well that just goes to show that they don't have much empathy or imagination.

Very much like the sound of that
