Sure. I doubt anyone will change anyone's mind anyhow. Thank you. I changed my mind over Sera who I found utterly irritating to start with, so change is always possible.

And, er, Maevaris can be straight can't she? Can someone help me out with the lore here? Here's what we know about Mae's sexuality (note: sexuality and gender are different):
* Was married to Thorold Tethras, Varric's cousin (a male dwarf) * Flirts with Alistair (a male human) * Is being attended to in a Fade Dream by several shirtless men (I believe they are humans, but I'd have to double check)
Other than that, it's up in the air. So we can say for sure that she's definitely not asexual or aromantic or lesbian and is either straight or bisexual/pansexual.
Hope that helps!

Why everyone else but straight guys are talking about straight male romance options ? As for Mae ? Is that a joke ?
Bioware better not waste one true straight female slot.

I don't see what's wrong with people of other orientations sharing their opinion on the matter. I honestly think it makes the conversation better. Besides this thread would turn into complete shit if it was just straight guys responding. As for Mae what can I say? I've seen plenty of people wanting her as a straight romance option.

This is a troll thread. The title and poll options make it obvious. Very clever. And people took the bait. Lame. If I wanted to make a troll thread I could of done much better than this.

It's not like you have to have a character with the same sexuality as you. While I haven't ever done a straight male PC, it doesn't mean that I won't if there was a female LI who I found most interesting. In in all reality, it wouldn't be my canon playthrough, but I can see that being a alt playthrough. I will almost certainly voice my concerns about lesbian LIs too. And I am neither a lesbian NOR can I guarantee that I'll play as one. It's a social discussion forum after all.

I don't see why we should have this character for us among our limited options, because others want it. I

- I understand the point you make about limiting the romance pool, that may be an issue for you, it may not be an issue for others.
- For the last few games, BioWare has tried to give (not always successfully) two romance choices for every permutation so I would trust everyone will be happy.
- Most of all this is a speculation thread about a potential character we don't know is in a game we don't even have a title for.
- So let's not get out of our tree about it, please and keep things friendly in this thread.
Thanks.

I said people wanted her as a straight romance. Being a straight romance option doesn't mean only straight people can and should only romance them.

I changed mine about Jack in ME2. I couldn't stand Jack until I romanced her. Saw a different side of her that brought about some feels...

To address my opinion of all three options in the poll.
Calpernia: Don't want her. Not as a companion, adviser, LI, nothing. Maevaris: I can see her being a love interest, either for men since we've seen multiple examples of her being attracted to men or maybe available to both if Bioware decides that. However, as this thread showed I think it might be better if she is not among the 2/2/2 romances but an additional one like Cullen and Solas were. It would avoid a lot of the headaches I can see happening. Vaea: As I've said before, I'd like her to be a romance option. I would love if she was one the Ace Spectrum, like Asexual or Demisexual, so that would lead her to being available to both men and women probably.

Again, this thread is a farce.
Gay dude posts question about straight male romance options. Makes sure to include a transgendered option as straight.
I RP in a way far less discriminatory than the LGBT folks here; I have romanced Steve and Kaidan as Shep, I have romanced everything possible with both Male and FemShep. In-game, I don't discriminate like some of you who would "never" play a straight male. Loltolerance.
This thread is BS. To use the moderators words against them, it was not made in good faith and is 100% trolling.

Ah we can romance who we want to, we can leave our friends behind Cause our friends have pants and if they don't romance Well they're are no friends of mine I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find And we can act like we come from out of this world Leave the real one far behind, And we can romance.

It’s the same reasoning for some that play strictly their gender, they don’t feel comfortable playing certain options. I prefer to play as straight male characters, but I played both female characters of different sexual orientations, as well as gay characters. But I didn’t romance every characters: for example, I didn’t romance either Tali in ME2 and Merril in DA2, despite them being LI for my preferred type of PC.

MODERATOR POST
The available mods have conferred, we can see that this is predominantly a discussion about Maevaris, for whom there is already a discussion (and indeed romance discussion) thread: bsn.boards.net/thread/16489/maevaris-tilani-transgender-companion-biowareThere's also a discussion here that is straying out of romance and into unpleasantness / slurs / homo/trans-phobic behavior which we're not going to do.
So I'm calling a day on this thread, please continue in the linked thread above if you wish to discuss Maevaris' potential romance further. For other characters, please go to (or start) threads for them. Thanks. (we're done here)
