The Character Romance thread (Official)

Just imagine how they'll react when Mcree is confirmed gay.

Please let him gay, I loved seeing their temper tantrums when they found out Tracer is lesbian.

No, he means Genji's boyfriend.

Ship wars! *grabs popcorn*

I liked Dorian a lot. He was one of my favorite companions in DA:I but I could have done without his side quest. I liked his personality, he had a cool look, and I loved the fact he was Tevinter. His arranged marriage story line was an interesting conversation to have with him but I found it disappointing that it was the focus of his side mission. That is really a time to delve into more lore/personality so on, but it kind of just came off as a personal thing with father issues. I know a lot of people liked it because people could relate but I just didn't find it compelling enough. It was probably the way it was done and not the subject. Why don't you trick me or convince me to go to an inn so I can fight with my dad in front of you? No thanks man. When it could have been about the politics in Tevinter including the arranged marriages... maybe savings someone from a similar fate or something... idk. I hope I am not offending someone who really connected with the story.

I see why they would and I know it was personal for the writer but I just didn't care for how it was done.

Lol you chose like one of the few gay overwatch pairings I completely don't feel

I can't believe him and Torby are married and adopted 9 kids and a Bastion.

It's McHanzo but just better.
Although I really do not have any favorite m/m ships. I just like going against McHanzo cuz it's so popular and they really don't have any connection to each other yet, so it's just two hot guys paired together and that's basically it.

I'm hoping S76 has a male lover and/or Lucio has an omnic boyfriend.

I hate to say it, but the "tragic gay" background never sits well with me.  I've heard it countless times over the years, because lots of gay people have had that problem, but I'm not so interested in it in my game play.  (Compassionate in RL, though.)  I suppose it means a lot of people can relate to it but I'm not one of them.  It's why I used a mod to romance Cullen.  That said, I do like Dorian as a character.  He's a little over the top for my tastes but he's reliable, trustworthy and doesn't take shit from anyone.  A good guy all around.

I got the bi-cullen mod installed but I'm going through first with my true husband Blackwall. Too bad a ton of his romance dialog is gendered -sigh-.  But I can zone out those pieces. It's a shame, I don't think splicing audio would be that easy, at least enough to cut the "milady" part.

Bi-Cullen is going for my next playthrough.

I think the tragic gay is overdone the way the media presents it. It is never easy being gay but there are different variations that we never see of that struggle. 

You don't have to "trick" OR "convince" him. If you willingly show him the letter and talk with him about it, he wants to go and see what the deal is. In fact, you can even balk and say that it might be a trap. He responds enthusiastically: "If it's a trap, then we escape and kill everyone! You're good at that." Later on, when you're actually there, if you try to excuse yourself during the conversation he wants you to stay, either because he wants a witness, or (if you tricked him) because "this was your idea."

The Inquisitor has a lot of options for the scene(s), and can be uncaring or supportive in various ways.

It's fine if you don't like it, but don't characterize it as something that it's not, and doesn't have to be depending on the options taken.
