The Character Romance thread (Official)

Sounds similar to the 'Gay Toggle', which Bioware have said they will never do. Plus if they want a character interested in you regardless of your sex, they'd just have them be an orientation that allows attraction to both rather than being straight or gay depending on what sex you play. 

They were four, Cullen, Bull, Wall and Solas.

She's not a limit. She's a romance available to both Scott and Sara, and she should be present in both's romance list as any bisexual character. She wouldn't count if asari where a type of third gender, but they're not. As I said before, we'll have to agree to disagree.

The rumour isn't actually about an bond, is about them having a peculiar relationship. We don't know if they're best friends, antagonistic towards each other or former lovers, or whatever. Some people chose to interpret it as a bond of the kind Aria and Nyreen had, but it can go either way. Expecially because we know there's someone that butts heads with Peebee.

Oh I know lol I meant that due to that change, you add Sera to that and Josie and we had 6 for females. Unfair to guys. I doubt they will do that again.

I know. But people were saying PeeBee would limit the romances for Scott because he already had her and Cora. I don't think they would do that.

Yeah it's interesting. I'm hoping we get to see or hear more about it. Not often do our own crew have histories of their own together.

I see what you are saying.  Yeah, I think Scott will have more options than Sara and most of those options will be women.  But I think there's still a limit on how many LI's are going to be available to Scott and Pee Bee counts as one of them.  I also think that the "more options than ever before" quote was just about ME (not Bioware writ large).  And I suspect that they are including both "full" romances and "light" romances (aka flings).  And I also suspect that they aren't counting the flings in the Citadel DLC either. 

So I suspect we'll see 2 "full" romances for all of them (a total of 6 LI's if they have one straight guy, one straight gal, one bisexual guy, one bisexual gal, one gay guy, and one lesbian).  And I think we know of 5 of them already so the only one missing is the lesbian full romance).  Then I suspect straight Scott will have another "full" romance (since ME always "panders" to the straight male audience for romances).  That would be 7 total.  Then we'll have flings.

Straight Scott - Cora, Pee Bee, one more full romance, at least one fling
Gay Scott - Jaal, Reyes, and one fling
Straight Sara - Liam, Jaal, and at least one fling
Lesbian Sara - Pee Bee, one more full romance, at least one fling

If this were the case, then we'd have a total of 8-11 LI's depending on their sexualities.  We "know" of 5 of them (Cora, Pee Bee, Jaal, Reyes, & Liam).  That would leave an additional 3-6 depending on it plays out.

One more "Full Romance" for Scott and Sara (likely different gals since it's unlikely we'd not get a lesbian option).  That's two.  Then at least one fling for each of them.  That's 2, 3, or 4 more depending on how it plays out.  I'd guess that they are bisexual flings for zots reasons. 

So, basically, I think we are looking at a total of 9 LI's and we know of 5 of them.  With one straight gal, one lesbian, one bisexual gal, and one bisexual guy still to be identified.  And I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Lexi is the bisexual "fling".  Or, maybe she's a full romance and there isn't a lesbian (just two bisexual gals).  I'm not counting out Lexi.  She's a pretty asari who is prominent enough to already be known to us.  I'd be gobsmacked if they skipped her as an option in some way. 

But, again, total speculation on my part!
 

Yeah, but you said male, that's why I said four .

I agree with Hanako on their words just meaning she's one of the LI available to him. Or maybe they don't like her and would've preferred her slot being taken by another character.
I agree, but to be clear they never stated it's something existing prior to the game (although Is possibly, since they were both on the Nexus). They just hinted at them having an interesting dynamic.

@daveliam : they meant all Bioware games, but they included the lighter romances outside squad and crew.
I don't think those will be necessarily just flings though. Mac also stated his favorite romance was on a planet so it's supposed to be one of the lighter one. While they might have overall less content they might still be interesting and well done.

The way I see it for now my FemRyder will die alone xD

There is no way this game will have more romances than SWTOR does.  Smuggler alone(including both male and female) will have more than Andromeda has.

Yeah, I meant, and probably them as well, their Edmonton games/not MMO.

Thanks, though with these leaks it seems more and more likely I will be getting the bottom of the barrel in regards to this.

Even Origins can be hard to beat.  Using a straight Dwarf Noble male as an example, he can get with two female Dwarves in the prologue, Leliana and Morrigan as companions, Isabela in the whore house, Gheyna(IIRC her name correctly) in the Dalish camp.  As well as two kisses in Redcliffe.
