Nah. But I'm actually fitting quite well in a "shy twink" stereotype apparently (some of my acquaintances are thinking that every quiet and not sleeping around guy is a gay). Buuut we've never seen them in any of Bioware games, so I'll pretend it doesn't count. Cole. You are Cole. *looks at avatar* Yep, confirmed. (Disclaimer: Cole can't be romanced so we have no proof he's straight - totes bi imo) Well, he's bi - he can end up with either Ziter or... Mara? Or what's her name. If we are to count DLC content, ofc. But I'm not bi, so I guess my prima guide about life lied again. What a rip off for not telling me how to be gay.

Eh, you guys need to put more points to cunning. Ask them something like: "Can a gay Scott romance PB or do they have to settle for Jaal?" And when they try to tease or reply something witty in their confusion they'll unintentionally drop some legit info. Yeah, this is the way to go. Look at the Reyes information. The question was "What is Reyes' favorite color?" and that gave us an odd little hint that he might be a LI. So for Jaal (and Gil, I'd add), we should start bombarding with innocuous questions that give them the ability to make an "oopsy" and spill some t. Like, "What do you think Jaal is most excited to learn about humanity?" or "Does Gil have any hobbies?" Stuff like that. Sorry, I had to. Ouch.

"We want everyone to discover the romances naturally" <-- I don't understand this. Even taking romance out of the equation (and all the folks who want to brace themselves for disappointment or get hyped before the game comes out), I don't understand the insistence that learning anything significant about the game before it releases automatically cheapens the experience. Like......... it's not spoiling if you want to know. The people who don't want to know aren't the ones asking on twitter or obsessively F5ing the forums. I completely agree. I went into DAO completely blind -- before I had actually sat down and played it, I knew the game's title and that it was supposed to be an epic sword & sorcery adventure, and that was it. Yes, it made the game a very exciting and fulfilling experience for me (I can't even begin to describe how blown away I was when I discovered that homosexual relationships were possible, or the intensity I felt over exploring the Deep Roads with its shockingly horrifying boss battle at the end)...but drawing up the willpower to completely avoid even the tiniest bit of news on the game each and every day to its release was immensely agonizing. People don't deserve to be forced through even a fraction of that, which is what I feel is happening with the romances in the pre-release phase of Andromeda.

He's a MP character that became sort of a meme. Here's a link to the wiki. Edit: wait, nope. There's an article about Cole encouraging Zither to meet with Maryden. I can swear I've seen Cole with him too, but apparently that was in a parallel universe.

Hey, he was certainly my canon romance. Alistair being heterosexual and having an enormous fangirl following makes it frustrating. If they'd responded to a comment and likened him to Bull or something, I'd be more reassured. I mean, at this point, knowing Jaal is like Alistair is a nail in the coffin. They ALWAYS make those kind-hearted swoon-worthy guys straight. ALWAYS. WHAT ABOUT KAIDAN????

I hope the datamining reveals which romances are sexual and which ones are not. Though I fear it will just be who they are available to. I know. I guess they can't figure out a way to make actual romantic content dude bro enough to please the marketing team. I mean it's probably for the best or the asexual relationships would consist of high-fiving and drinking beer. You mean they don't? OH HELL, I'VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG ALL THESE YEARS. Nah, just messing around. But that is pretty much my relationship.... That being said, I'm not very romantic. But I have to admit, the NOT KNOWING is starting to make an eye twitch. And I probably won't even have a romance my first (few) playthroughs unless something really clicks or (more likely) I mess up and click a flirt at the wrong/right time.

Kaidan is the probably the best m/m romance we've had yet-but your mileage clearly may vary. I swoon...do I ever.

Buuut we've never seen them in any of Bioware games, so I'll pretend it doesn't count. Cole. You are Cole. *looks at avatar* Yep, confirmed. (Disclaimer: Cole can't be romanced so we have no proof he's straight - totes bi imo) I believe Cole is asexual. Cole may look like a human male but as a Spirit he has no gender, sexuality or biological urge to reproduce. In a Conversation with Solas Cole revealed he was not attracted to women: Cole: It makes sense. It holds them as they die. But then it's a man, and he wants a woman. Why? Solas: When they possess people, they often indulge in feelings they have never before experienced. Cole: But it changed. It is blank, black, blunted from being. It never wanted before. Solas: Have you felt no interest in women since you came through the Veil? Cole: No.

Fenris isn't even my favorite DA2 romance, let alone Bioware. But to each his own. I would move mountains to hear Gideon Emory whisper in my ear. I just need that voice to come out someone other than a tiny little scrawny barefoot emo elf......<shots fired>

OmG, is it wrong I love that we have a place to argue over which gay content is best? I mean when I was 18 coming out, I would have thought I was on some kind of acid trip if someone said there would come a day where acceptance would be on this level.

I came out like 10 years ago and everybody was fine with that as long as I was "the quiet one", but this definitely feels like an acid trip, because I never had an option to openly talk about it with anybody but a few close friends and my partner. This feels great.

Well I mean Cole could still be asexual despite being in a relationship and liking the smell of his partner. Unless there was something else I missed.

To think back on my youth (80's-90's) and to think that now (well into my 30's) I've got multiple options in a game? Good stuff! Fenris's romance is the most genuine romantic experience I've ever had during my lifetime. It certainly was a good one. But, to be fair, most of them were pretty good. While there might not be many m/m romances, we've got some good quality over quantity here.

His banter implies he's got the hots for her body, even though we aren't even sure what Maryden's sexuality is. If you set her up with Krem, Cole says they are the same.
