Does that really need to be specified? If this is for fanfic I’d think not having anything previously specified surely just means people can pair them however they wish? (Not that author intent ever stopped shipping before ofc) The question in the other thread was asked because players/readers are suspecting that Calix is a human "Zevran". A promiscuous bisexual and to add to the repeat, a promiscuous bisexual with a preference for women especially. Hanako had originally held him up as the first Promiscuous STRAIGHT person, as he's only obviously chasing skirts in the comic. But there is apparently a single panel of dialogue with a random guard-- "what a night!" -- that implies* that Calix maybe boffed the guard. *only if you're looking for it I guess, I don't even remember this panel and very much felt like Calix was just a young horny teenager type that would bang any girl if he had the chance after his restricted life of slavery. I don't even think he's promiscuous. Wasn't looking for it as much as it being a standard way to subtly reveal homosexual inclinations in literally all media ever by offhandedly including it in one scene (or in this case one panel). I suppose it takes someone who has been exposed to it enough, as I picked it up right away, especially with that cheeky grin that Calix had in the very same panel. But I'm not hinging on it. It could very well been an "act" (they are rogues after all). So yea... another Zevran.

I don't personally care if the M/M love interest is promiscuous (there's absolutely nothing wrong with being promiscuous). But I understand why other gay men want DA to break away from that stereotype. It's funny how many people in here want to romance a dwarf. Dwarves are like the only thing in DA that I would absolutely NOT want to romance. Lol. But again it's not just the promiscuity. It's the combination of that and just how offhanded their m/m context is. Hopefully Calix will surprise me.

Calix is a Zevran. There's something between him and a guy at some point in Deception, buried underneath the dozen straight interactions. Smh Yeah, I think I know what panel you're talking about and I was confused as to what was going on since they didn't dwell too much on it. Personally, I wouldn't mind if Calix was bi. He's fairly handsome and I think his naivete is refreshing compared to the know-it-alls you tend to get in your party. It's not about bisexual characters. My favorite characters were just that. (Kaidan , Fenris) It's just that most of the time they are promiscuous AND their m/m context is tangential. I don't mind that trope but enough... It's also annoying that the KISA is always straight, male or female...

You have the information you need to make an impulsive decision. That's the situation you were in. Breaking down the exact figures would only lead to a more clearcut choice, which ironically would reduce the impact of the decision.
The fact is any choice you make in the game will ultimately be "game-y" (certainly on the second playthrough and/or if you use online resources) when you have more information in your hands, as there's only so much they can do.

I'm aware that the typical whingelord is incapable of compartmentalizing different aspects of a video game, but yes the "bad" MEA had the best combat in the Mass Effect series especially for the Biotic and Tech inclined. It was basically a straight up improvement over ME3's system which was also pretty great in itself. lel No. Yas Kween werk those one-liners.

The last thing BioWare should do is listen to people who think Witcher 3 is anything to take inspiration from. People like you deserve Mass Effect Andromeda The irony here being that MEA had some of the best combat in the series.

I only play characters I'm physically attracted to, and if female it's usually cause I'm attracted to their LI (*cough* Alistair *cough*

I am going to refer to the game as Dragon Age: Omelette. "So you've found me at last. I suspect you have questions." "Only question i have for you is: scrambled or sunny side up?

They don't usually start marketing until about a year before release.
People might be a bit pessimistic. I can totally see them releasing this late 2019/early 2020. Will probably get a trailer at E3.

I just saw this today randomly while baking christmas cookies and I let out an unholy squeal of excitement that almost caused my sister in law to drop a tray in surprise.
I RAN upstairs away from the music and almost tripped on the stairs as the trailer started.
I am now lying in the guest bedroom bed with my goosebumps having goosebumps in awe that all these feelings suddenly came gushing foward at once at the realization that this is real.
Oh my God!!

The fact that ruthless options are often relegated to roleplaying does not diminish their value. You are animating your character in a way that demonstrates and reinforces the personality you picked for them.
Also there have always been consequences for ruthlessness, most evidently in major story arc and companion relationships, which are arguably the two most important aspects of Dragon Age games.
