The Character Romance thread (Official)

I think that having the plot-relevant romances being bi is a really fantastic idea, really the best compromise and most sensible way to do it since everybody should at least have the option of having more of the important story content that having a plot-relevant LI brings if they wish. I really hope this has occurred to them too, or they are reading this thread...

EDIT: I mean, thinking about it more, other than just the (very important) representation aspect, from a RP angle it makes the most sense too since as it stands it sort of forces a "canon protagonist" since the "most important" romances are only allowed for certain PCs. 

I prefer that all plot-relevent and romancable characters are bi too. You can still have great representation by having plot-relevent but non-romancable characters of various other sexualities. 

but who would that character be in a game like MEA for example, where none of the romances are important to the plot?

You can like Cora or not, but she is the most important female LI as Jaal is the most important male LI. She is the second on command like Cass was and Jaal is an angara so that it speaks for itself.

The story wouldnt be different in ANY way if Cora didnt exist. She's not important. I dont even dislike her, but lets not pretend she was important.

Cora's only role in the plot is reminding you she was an asari commando every 30 seconds.

I'm not talking about how the group of characters are important than others, I'm talking about what characters who are LIs are more important to the plot, if you make a comparison with Cass maybe the level of importance is minimum with Cora, but in MEA, Cora and Jaal are the most  prominent characters.

Cassandra declared the Inquisition and can become Divine. Cora is an asari fangirl who does nothing. Her only plot importance would have been being Alec's successor but even that is immediately bypassed with like two lines of dialogue.

more important than others yes, but their presence or absence wouldn't change the plot in anything but the most superficial way.  If Jaal wasn't a squadmate or romance that doesn't change the Angaran fight against the Kett or the Milky Way interference in that.  Cora's presence as second in command changes a similar number of things.

Nothing happens in the plot BECAUSE of them.

Contrast that to Solas or Morrigan, or Anders and Isabella.
