The Character Romance thread (Official)

The only fluff ones are Leliana and Josephine really and one is an NPC, Sera can end in tragedy all the same. Especially if you are an Elfinquisitor, it was the most frustrating experience I ever played in a game.

I don't expect as much angst or drama with these romances. There may be some for some certainly, but overall Bioware has said this game has a lighter tone than the Shepard Trilogy and I can see that extending to the romances as well.

I am not worry about the content really or the ending of the romance. I am more worried about not having good content with companions. I dislike Sera but she is still the first lesbian companion and at least there is that... I guess I do not care if I like the characters, some equal treatment would be nice on bioware part. 

I also love Anders, so it is not excluded ... what's problem with them (except that Liam according to the rumors is straight)? I would liked Garrus as gay LI, one of my favorite mate. I try to keep some distance to avoid the spoilers, so I just rarely visiting the character forums yet.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes.

You thought that lesbians were better off than straight women? In what universe?

Agreed straight female players had it quite well in Inquisition but do I need to remind that in the last Bioware game before, ME3 if you had Kaidan dead and had not romanced anyone in ME2(and if you did well there was only Garrus since Thane dead and Jacob a cheating bastard), straight females had NOTHING. Which for me who only really plays as a straight female was a complete slap in the face.
So I took Inquisition as an apology.

I do hope there won't ever be a situation like this and every gets a fair share of romance options.

It doesn't seem like their interested in giving out details about romance paths   so you may have to wait until it comes out and people are putting spoilers online. If you want to avoid that though maybe you can get someone who doesn't mind spoilers to check for you? Perhaps a thread with just orientation, availability and explicit/non-explicit? People are going to have to wait until pretty close to launch to plan their playthroughs I expect.

Well for me after Thane and Solas I need a break haha

The issue for me is that in the Mass Effect trilogy there has, in every single game, been more female LIs than male LIs. And with the exception of Kasumi and Gabby, every single female squadmate and female crew member you could talk to on the Normandy was either a romance or a light romance or a fling. And all but one of those was available to male Shepard. Where, despite there being more male characters overall, only five of them were romances. (Unless you count James 'I know you don't want to do this, but are your drunk enough now?' Vega and the 'where the fuck did that come from I didn't ask for this?' Javik hookup which was intended as a joke - I don't, because both were in incredibly poor taste.) The fact that Thane dies in a stupid way, Jacob cheats and leaves, and Steve has barely any romance content, just adds insult to injury.

Also, if you romance a male character in a Bioware game (talking DA and ME here) you're 500% more likely to have that male LI cheat, leave, die, lie, dump you, betray you, and so on. Or get a bad ending you can't avoid. In the case of female LIs, in general your relationship will include a lot less melodrama, and bad endings, few as they are, are always avoidable.

Fast forward to MEA and they've already confirmed 3 female LIs - all the female squadmates, in fact - to one male one. And that one male one is already rumored to have a potential 'sad' element to the relationship. I'm trying to be optimistic, but the information (both official and not) so far isn't boding well for us straight women and gay men.

The only things I am worry about really, are gay and lesbians companions existing. I am mostly sure we will get less content and it is going to be NPCs. I am sorry but straight women at least have LIs on the companion rooster for sure with relevant content.

Yeah and female players can marry two of their LI's.
