I have no problem with Cora. She might be a cool squad mate. I liked Cassandra, too. Just not as romance options. Very masculine. Not my type.

There were no appealing choices for straight males in DAI, and I fear there won't be any in MEA. Sad.

Bioware has deemed beauty sinful?

Now we know.

It's not about Cora's locks.

It's the "I did not like Cassandra and Josephine, BioWare so UNFAIR!" thread.

Pls, amalgamate, move to DA:I forum. Three years of that is totally not enough. Need more, and the sooner the better.

No, I was focusing on how all romances for my poor straight female Qunari sucked so badly compared to what a male Qunari would get. So, I went and rerolled a male. See how I deal? Masterfully.

I am totally poised to use the same uber-advanced strategy in Andromeda. See a character I want to romance? Romance. Rejected? Reroll.

You need me to repeat that? I know, it's complicated....

As a straight (inflexible) male, though, I felt there was nothing for me.

And that's my fear with MEA. Might be cool to romance the Turian female, but without the titillation of real attraction, it will be a diminished experience.

The Ancient Greeks admired beauty. Celebrated it. Male and female. Why can't we?

Real tragic. If videogames give you phobias of diminished titillation at the sight of Cullen's pale brow there is nothing for it, but going back to that therapeutic Witcher with boobs, flowing locks and unicorns. The day Cora cut her hair, the straight manhood was inflexibly doomed.

No diminished titillation at the presence of Cullen. I liked him. None with Cora, either.

Diversity is strength.

But neither is there anyone to really engage me at a physical level. And I think that's true for many (not all) straight males.

If you want your game only to cater to your fantasies, I would recommend to get Skyrim on PC and mod it with all the mods that you want from sites as Nexus and Loverslab.
Meanwhile, we who like the games that Bioware have done, can keep enjoying them.

Have fun!

I wonder if there is such a thing as empirical beauty.

I suspect the majority of males, in an anonymous survey would favour Miranda Lawson.

I merely suspect. I don't know. And I'm curious.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so for me there is beauty in the game.

Your loss if you don't like it. So if you want your game to have everybody to look like the Greek statues I would again recommend you to play a modded Skyrim.

If you are still going to argue when you have a solution, it will only reinforce the opinion that your whole thread is a troll thread and that would be sad right?

A friendly tip: go for a culture that did not have grave doubts on whether women were even the same species as men, seeing how they are mentally inferior, fat and ugly.

I hope someone makes a mod where she has Rapunzel hair and elaborate dresses with those huge 18th Century skirts that cover half of the room. And then she gets into all kinds of trouble, like her hair getting stuck in a door, or party members tripping over her huge skirt.

Sounds good, but I think it's the bathing suit "most straight men" are after. Actually, Lady Godiva style should be a stretch goal to get most encompassing fantasies validation of pure straightness. Chop, chop, BioWare, ''tis a valid concern.

A prettier face and no tumblr haircut would do the trick for me.

I hear majority of men have a time-honored method of diversifying titillation in the absence of physical alternatives. I suggest PM’ing them for tips. I am sure it will dramatically improve your Andromeda play-through.

Speaking as a gay guy, I hated the Dorian romance. It's just a preference as I like my guys to be more...masculine.

The only gay romance I found fulfilling is Zevran in Origins and Kaidan in ME3.

Interesting, I wouldn't necessarily associate masculinity with Zevran. Frankly I found both to be flamboyant...two sides of the same coin imo. Kaiden I can see though.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't think this is entirely true.

We all have certain tastes, but there is a range of what is widely considered beautiful. Outside that range falls non-beauty.

The point of this thread is to discuss Bioware seeming fear of beauty.

I suggest it is the result of certain puritanical forces at work in our culture right now.
