If you look at the original Witcher game, and compare it to Witcher 3, I'm quite sure you'd probably find that it's sanitized some elements of its adult-themes as well. What I'm getting at is, sometimes artists/authors find themselves more comfortable telling mature-related content without the need of such provocative visuals because THEY'VE matured in their narrative ability. The conquest cards in W1 were definitely quite sexist and juvenile cringe. So good riddance! Whether or not they changed that because they matured or because they got backlash for it we don't know. CDPR like all devs go with the flow of what's currently considered socially acceptable or even required. Plenty of gay people in W3 and Cyberpunk. And of course some of the toxic people online have crossed CDPR off their list of cool devs now too. Apparently they are now too woke as well, lol. So there really is no pleasing some people. So yeah this debate is a shitshow. I'm still rather anti woke in general myself, but some people just take it to a laughable degree.

And I daresay Lucanis is way hotter than any of the female options again. Do you think? I think Neve is good looking and in the goup pictures of the companion she is sexy as well. For me Neve and maybe Bellara (if she isn't to childish) are way hotter than Davrin or Lucanis. But i am a straight woman. And i have a soft heart for asia.

How can we even know who's hotter than whom before they open their mouths and talk to us for a while?

You can offer a few ways the Inquisition will repay her, but one of the options is sleeping with her. Aside from the fact that I wouldn't have taken that option if I'd remembered it (and the Wiki seems to suggest you won't be offered it if you are already in a relationship), I just checked and you just make the offer and that is it, there is not even a chaste kiss of the hand. The rest is left entirely to the imagination. That hardly qualifies as a sexual encounter in DAI terms, so I'm glad to know my memory wasn't failing me.

For me Neve and maybe Bellara (if she isn't to childish) are way hotter than Davrin or Lucanis. But i am a straight woman. And i have a soft heart for asia. I would be all over an Asian dude! Lan from Wheel of Time style I'd drool all over. To me Bellara is cute but not hot. Neve is meh to me. Harding looks good for her age but wouldn't exactly call her sexy. And Taash is very ehhhh from what we've seen of her. Lucanis looks the most conventionally attractive to me but yes tastes differ. And orientation plays a role in what we deem attractive as well. Although the most beautiful people seem to get acknowledged by both sexes. Extreme beauty is nice to look at even if not necessarily in a sexual context. Like a beautiful piece of art one can admire. Now of course if everyone looked like a supermodel that might be boring too. Some people are really beautiful but in a boring sort of way to me. So it's good we have diverse options.

But i can say who isn't hot for me. beard isn't hot in my eyes and i hope i can put it in right words i find african body structure not hot. (I don't mean that in a racist way) But as Blackwall have surprised me, they can be good romances. But Blackwall will never be hot for me.

Yeah good romance has nothing to do with how the LI looks but everything to do with writing AND how charming the VA is. How a voice sounds is a big trigger of mine. I've always had a thing for female voices (singers too) despite being straight (I think?). So I get attracted to voices first in games/movies. Solas had a nice voice... did not enjoy that romance though, lol. Appeal is definitely a mix of several factors. I did hear Blackwall is nice but damn his personality was boring and he was old. So I ignored him. I love beards on fictional characters! Same with tattoos. Don't like either in real life on a potential partner. But in the CC it adds interesting stuff and I always go for it.

And the VA sounded very meh from what we've heard so far. So a fail all around, lol. But first impressions can be deceiving. I read her short story in Tevinter Nights a couple of days ago and liked her personality there at least. We don't know much about them yet so looks and three seconds of spoken dialogue is all we have right now.

The moment Sera opened her mouth I knew I wasn't interested no matter what her sexuality was or mine. The best thing about sera is having the option to get rid of her. I've done playthrough's, as a mage or warrior, where I only recruited her to open the locks in Haven. After that, she went bye bye.

So yeah this debate is a shitshow. I'm still rather anti woke in general myself, but some people just take it to a laughable degree. The problem is too few people can generally distinguish between a genuine concern for social rights and justice and general virtue signaling. The extremes on both sides are laughable which you seem to gather.

Neve is pretty hot for me. Sassy voice. Dark hair. South Asian vibes.
Harding is cute as hell too. Short, ginger, freckles, busty, feisty.
In DAI it was Cassandra all day long. Experienced, lived, tough exterior with a mushy softie underneath who likes romance. I dig that sort of thing in a partner: able to handle their shit, take charge of things, but light the candles at night.
Josephine was too girly girl and giggly and Viv would stiff a waiter out of a tip. She reminded me too much of a woman I had already dated in voice and manner and ick.

As an aside, if I had the opportunity to romance Vivienne in DAI (she's hawt) I might have needed earplugs. Instead, we got the options of Bratty, Bully and Boring.

You could flirt with her but she would tell you 'no' either politely or condescendingly, depending on if she liked you or not. Despite the outward appearance of her relationship with Bastien being for her own gain, she truly seemed to be in love with him and was loyal.

We have heard Lace and Neve, and they are cuties. True. I was more referring to the characters we haven't yet heard. Come to think of it the only female character without a known voice is Taash. Bellara was in the 2020 trailer. So, the ladies have a head start over the male companions in that respect. I liked the sound of Davrin from 2020 though.

But the hottest chicks in DAI (Viv) and DA2 (Bethany) were only tease male fanservice. Fortunately DA2 had Isabela who was a fun hottie. Unfortunately, Viv was true to her man, and Hawke in DA2 was not from Tennessee. DA-tV might not have male fanservice, but it does have cutie options.

Forgive me. She gets on my nerves more than Sera does but I did some more chaotic playthroughs just to laugh at how she tried irritating me by just moving the furniture around Skyhold when she had low approval, so I tried out as many flirts as I could get away with and hers were among them. I like pushing her buttons because she's pretty predictable in her reactions. I appreciate the apology, sorry if my wording also made it out that I was trying to be smug, furthest from what I was trying to do.
