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. Yeah, I know. 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. Alot of this is really surreal to me. I only sorta figured out I was gay when I was 18, Now I'm 21 I feel like this is stuff I should have been used to years ago

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> My feelings on him, too. My Izzy will never stoop so low in my playthroughs. Anders' romance was hotter than any other in DA2. The chemistry between he and Heroic Pro-Mage Hawk was simply explosive. The sky was filled with fire the first time they kissed. And in tender moments between them in times of crises it was like the rest of Kirkwall simply burned away.

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. Until Trespasser came along... I think that only happens if he becomes more human.

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. 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. I suppose it is also possible that Cole, if he becomes more human, is demisexual. Spirits are beings of emotion after all and Cole was a Spirit of Compassion.

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. After I wrote that post I actually did some googling and found stuff about his asexuality, and a really good piece by someone talking about how if you make him human it invalidates that by giving him an interest in women (which doesn't necessarily mean he's still not asexual) - but this was a piece researched by asexual people, so I guess it just highlights that asexuality means different things for different people. Anyway, their argument was that it suggested that asexuality wasn't 'normal' and that by giving him a sudden interest in women as soon as he's more human it implies attraction is a necessary part of being human. I'm not explaining it well, but the piece was very well-written.

I suppose it is also possible that Cole, if he becomes more human, is demisexual. Spirits are beings of emotion after all and Cole was a Spirit of Compassion. That would be fine if they had hinted it could happen, but the problem was these poor fans were attacked for wanting to romance him and when a dev took the side of the ones atttacking, then made him like the idea of romance, they felt betrayed. As well as Asexual people who related to him.

He is just drawn to her for wanting to help people with her music.

Fangirls angry how DorianxIronbull ended up in vanilla DA:I? Change this romance completely in final dlc to make it even happier than player's romance. Because fangirls are more important than poor guys who romance those characters. That was sad, because I remember how Gaider tried to explain on his (now deleted) tumblr that making vanilla DA:I DorianxIB romance not quite happy was intended, because he wanted to show others that not every relationship is healthy.

Before the choice, he says he has no interest in women. After the choice, if you make him more spirit-like he sets her up with Krem. It's only if he becomes more human, as far as I know.

-What was it like to record the sex scenes? It was cool...He had to do the sounds for the sequences kissing his hand, heavy breathing, and at the same time doing this to completed animation (means he's watching it happen). Lots of joking while doing this acting, #prettygoodbanging came out of that (how the devs came up with it). "Couple of relationship sequences were just wonderful." Talks about how he had favorite subject/relationship sequences and how they were wonderfully handled. Tastefully handled. Modern sensibilities were set aside. Wait, Scott kissed another man's hand or another man kissed Scott's hand, because if it's the latter that sounds like something Jaal would do based on what we've heard about him. Apologies if I missed something, it's hard for me to hear voices coming from computer videos.

This was not a scene it was a method for making the sound effects during the romance scenes.

This is literally the only thread on this forum I'm active on at the moment, so I'm just going to tell all of you even though it's totally OT:
Last night I dreamt I was with Mike Gamble and he let me play a preview of the game (after some weird dreamlike awkwardness trying to find a controller).
The first thing I remember was that after the cc you came right out into the game, controlling Ryder. I commented to him that this was excellent, because if Ryder looks like ass you don't have to sit through a cutscene over and over.
The main take away from my time with the game, though, was that during Sara's idle animations you got the chance to make her dance and OMG was it amazing. Frenetic, and the most dorky dancing BioWare has had to date. I did it every time I she stopped walking along this corridor.
I told Mike, that's it, you've done it, you've found the new iconic face of BioWare, and that face is Sara Ryder.
I was just so hyped.

What if they likened him to Cullen? watch the fangirls panties catch fire. And I'm just over here wondering, what are my options? Bioware pls Based on leaks: Probably Pee Bee, Vetra, & Suvi the science Officer.
I can say for sure that Pee Bee is one of your options based on information from my friend who saw the scene first hand.
Another leak claims that Vetra is "queer" and that Sheryl Chee had to fight to get her available for Sara. The same leak says that Suvi is the lesbian option (a la Traynor).
So that's 3 out of the 5 females Tempest for you. And there's still Dr. Lexi, who, if she's an option, will likely be for Sara as well. Sheryl Chee deserves a trophy.

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. If there are non-sexual romances at all, they'd better at least be upfront about it. Dont wanna get all the way locked into a romance only to find it out at the last moment. There are. Bioware has stated as such a few times. I agree, though for the opposite reason. I don't want to get all the way locked into a romance only to find out it has mandatory sex at the last moment.
