The [redacted] could be any of the male crewmembers we know of on the Tempest, including Jaal.
He specified he started a new Ryder, not when in the game the [redacted] said "Hi"
This also confirms more than one option for gay/bi Scott.

He specified he started a new Ryder, not when in the game the [redacted] said "Hi" This also confirms more than one option for gay/bi Scott. Why does it confirm more than male option for Scott? We know that the dev was going to try a different option but then felt for [redacted] again. The other one could have been any of the females. He never said that he was going to try a new male romance. Just a new romance. Don't get me wrong, I also strongly believe that there are two male options for gay Scott, but this doesn't confirm that.

Thx for killing my joke. ) It makes sense that there is a lot of gay drooling because we don't actually know much about gay options. And so imagination takes over. Just look at the Gil thread. We don't know how he looks, and people there are very thirsty.

I'm pretty sure anyone remotely interested in the romance department is thirsty for at least one character. Dr. Lexi anyone? I will fight Drack to the death over her. Sure, he'll turn me into paste, but she will know of my love before I die. Hmm, that's depressing.
Anyways, I get the thirst people have even if the characters we are looking forward to are different.

I'm not asexual but I'd still very much like my romance options to revolve around...romance. Emotional support, encouragement of passions, sharing of tragedies and triumphs, TONS of cuddling and old fashioned twee gestures. If I want porn I'll just watch porn, not a badly animated video game cutscene. It should be left up to the player whether sex occurs or not, unless it's specifically important to that romance plot like with Bull.

Pretty sure we dont even know that because BW refuses to clarify anything about romances. They've said every orientation has at least 1 option. And I fear we are the ones stuck with 1 option.

It's same as with Skyrim really (and some other games like Saint Row 4). Although you can romance/marry all options with both genders it's game mechanic that feels pretty shoehorned in when rest of the world building doesn't support it. Everybody seems straight in these games, you don't really see gay couples and same-sex attraction, but for some reasons NPCs are into you no matter your gender. I remember someone saying that it's little better with FO4 though, that some companions show same sex interest outside of PC? I don't remember encountering any cases like that myself though. So in that sense Bioware is lot better, making the actual world more diverse. Especially DAI team, not saying that there wouldn't be improvements to make though. But then they also lack romance mechanic of making all available. I don't personally see playersexuality as something Bioware should go for at all, but if major LIs were bisexuals I wouldn't be against that at all. Yeah exactly. I absolutely agree about Skyrim and Saint Row 4. I've had a great time with both games, but in this regard... meh. As for F4, hmm... I just finished a pt a few weeks ago... but I can't remember noticing any kind of ss interest from any character. Well I was mostly paying attention to male characters so I might have missed one of the female companions showing some ss interest. From a cynical point of view, it can be seen as a way to grab some good will from the lgbt community and its allies, while at the same time making sure not to upset the delicate snowflakes who complain about "icky" stuff like gay characters (male or female), female leads, cast diversity, racial diversity, etc etc. You know, the usual "greatest hits" I'm really hoping this is not what Bioware is doing. This is why I'm so upset and bitter at the moment, with the info we are getting from leaks on one side and the COMPLETE LACK of info from Bioware regarding very specific content, on the other side. And yeah, regarding "playersexual" lis, I've argued for it. It's not the best mechanic, but it would just mean that people would actually get options. It just seems like it would be a decent trade off, at least until things get a little better and we can put behind us all this nonsense with hiding/censoring gay content. Yes it's a cheap way of doing things, but my main argument for it, is that it would be easier to headcannon character X being gay, while you're getting it on with them in game (as in having cutscenes and etc), as opposed to doing the same thing when the option does not exist in game. I agree but I would argue against player sexual romances. As others on here have said love interests being player sexual takes the wide rainbow of human sexuality and reduces it to a gray smudge. Representation and sexual diversity should take precedence over we as individuals getting to romance whoever we want. The reality is that we can't romance whoever we want for reason not limited to sexuality. In my opinion this approach adds realism and depth which is what I look for in character and story driven games. The race-gating in Inquisition added depth and world building elements and enhanced the experience and replay value. When it comes to the issue of Bioware I concur. The silence on their part is deafening and damning should the rumors be true. This is a problem but I don't think player sexual implementation would solve it. The problem is the corrosion of sexual diversity within the main cast. It doesn't matter to me if I don't get to romance the specific character I want as long as m/m, f/f, etc are represented fairly. If that turns out not to be the case then Bioware is in need of a good dragging.

It should be left up to the player whether sex occurs or not, unless it's specifically important to that romance plot like with Bull. Which I sincerely hope never happens again, unless it's like a third or fourth option romance That said I also don't need (and sometimes prefer, but not always) sex in a video game romance, but I personally feel BioWare, especially ME, goes too far with "porno" aspect. I honestly don't need to see people rolling around in bed. BUT I know some people like it, and not for horny reasons, so... to each their own I guess! All we can hope for is variety (which makes the gated romances tougher because the "type" of romance you like may be for the wrong gender or whatever).

So in regard to romances what are people thoughts when it comes to permanent relationship failure decisions on the players part. I'm talking about whether there should be a point of no return when you make a decision so against the IL's beliefs that they break up with no apologizes allowed. Like for instance Dorian breaking up with the Inquisitor when he discovers you killed Ponchard to get his family amulet. Should that be a thing or should they be more like Josephine's where I'm pretty sure its impossible to fail once you get going. Yes. This should remain a thing. All of the characters should be individuals and not bend to our will no matter what. I have heard that characters in ME:A will react to Ryder's dialog and decisions and form their own impressions, meaning that not all of us will be friends and that we will have hard choices to make between Squad Mates. This is a great improvement from the original Trilogy where your Squad seemed to like you no matter what you did, with the exception of ME2's loyalty missions.

If that turns out not to be the case then Bioware is in need of a good dragging. You forgot to add "for me." This isn't the case for everyone. For some people, it means they will never play those romances, ever. And that DECREASES the replay value of the game and does NOT enhance the experience. For comparison, DA2 had the MOST replay value for me AND I played it the most out of any game I've ever owned. Because I romanced all four love interests multiple times with different types of Hawkes because I had the freedom to do so. For others, it would be the opposite because, I guess (trying to get into someone else's headspace here) they enjoy being forced to play characters and romances they aren't generally comfortable playing.
