Looks like the werewolves win this round. So proud of the werewolf gang! Also congrats to the first loser: dick krakens. Alas images I found about them are too nsfw

Looking at the last few hours posts, can we take the temperature down a notch in here, please.
And a question about the thread. While this thread started with a joke poll, it left that specific topic long ago. The Races and Romance Poll thread the same. Does anyone want to argue there is a separate legitimate 'poll discussion' going on in either thread? Or can we safely direct both discussions into a new 'Romance in DA4' thread? OR Is it just that the Poll is old, needs screenshotting for the OP and closing. And we direct the other thread in here? Which would leave this as the primary romance thread to continue? I'd say, have this one as the main romance thread for now until we have substantial news about the romance and/or DA4 (also when that happens, can we update the poll?). The other poll thread can be directed here.

What do you think about having choices when it comes to "culmination" scenes? Like having the following choices your character can choose: 1) A scene that is obvious that no sex occurs 2) A sex scene 3) A fade-to-back scene where it's ambiguous ME:A's Cora comes with options 1 and 2, doesn't she? How could case 3 be implemented on the dialog wheel? hmm I am not sure. Maybe just some vague dialogue choice like "lets spend some time together." I guess that is not the most clear way to let players know what to expect. Related to this, since sometimes dialogues are not clear, the game should be automatically saved just before talking to your LI when you are about to initiative the culmination scenes or really any important scenes with LI.

since I was dragged in here again friendly reminder that human gay KISA is long overdue Me too, thanks! hmm I would not mind gay KISA from other race either [snip] 1. I'm not a fan of sex scenes in games, and prefer fade-to-black. I think this is for a couple of reasons: -- I exist somewhere on the ace spectrum, so I just generally dislike sex scenes. -- I prefer a degree of ambiguity in role-play. I think my favorite sex scene in a BioWare game to date was w/ Isabela in DA2. Wild foreplay, cut to the post-coital intimate conversation. I also really enjoy the ambiguity inherent in DAI's Josie romance - very loving and intimate, with an amount of ambiguity that allowed me to headcanon the rest. [snip] What do you think about having choices when it comes to "culmination" scenes? Like having the following choices your character can choose: 1) A scene that is obvious that no sex occurs 2) A sex scene 3) A fade-to-back scene where it's ambiguous So far I like the idea of giving us choices to role play how these scenes go. But I guess that that might require too much effort from Bioware. 🤔

I don't worry too much about uncanny valley in DA4. Not that I think it's not going to happen, but I kinda get used to that in Bioware games. Despite awkward animations and sometimes weird faces, some characters are pretty attractive, at least for my standard.

ME1 and ME2 had the worst LI options, DAO was barely better, ME3, DA2, and DAI were vast improvements. Now we just need m/m Turians, Quarians, Krogan, and dwarves. And after bi Jaal was restored, MEA romance is great as well. Hopefully this upward trend continues.

Alas, there is little firm visual evidence of snake people, or snoeple if you will. Now, this snake person is admittedly not sexy, but keep in mind that it is an under-aged adolescent and not an adult snake person. Those are probably sexier. Or at least taller. lulz I hope the adults look like this He's pissed because someone stole his breakfast but he's a sweet boi Not bad but I always prefer the look of Naga Myrmidon in Warcraft/WoW when it comes to snake-like people. Examples: But even then, if there is to be one "exotic" romance option, werewolf LI is still my #1! 🐺

Also, all this straight talk is boring. Let's talk about something more important - why so little gay/bi guys chose dwarves. Like I get it, no one wants Oghren, and Varric was around for way too long. But Renn? A++ would date this daddy. Damn hot! I would date him as well! I think it comes to exposure. I was trying to come up with a list of characters (not only just Bioware characters) from the four races that I consider hot and it took me more effort to make a list for dwarf characters. My list for attractive humans is very looooong and elves are generally not that different from humans. The qunari from DA2 are super hot already. So yeah, the list for dwarf is, well, dwarfed by others.

Looking at the numbers again, I am still amazed that f/f is the only group that does not prefer human LI and elf LI than the other two races. I expected that human LI and elf LIs would be the top two across the board.

Shhhhhhhh, we're back on topic and talking about lizard people now. Hey everyone: would you rather romance one of the lizard people from the Deep Roads or one of the snake people from the moon? (Assuming for the moment that they're not actually the same thing.) Also, which moon do you think the snake people come from? Is one moon sexier than the other?
oh yes! I would definitely romance lizard people. I already love the argonian in Skyrim, and from that one image of the lizard people, they seem to be thiccer. So yes, I would! Now for the snake people, I need more photographic evidence.

Surprise, not every gay who plays Dragon Age would prefer Krem instead of Dorian. Gay players don't have exactly the same preferences? Impossible! 🤔

Doing a Kaidanmancer journey with rondeeno's mods right now I'm having a blast and even liking more ME2 since it tones down the heteronormativity. Please somebody send me strength to not pick many Thane flirts and being faithful to Kaidan I hope Bioware does not cut more gay content.... What we could have had! Rondeeno's mods are god sent! I could not thank them enough when I talked to them on our Discord channel. I just want to add that the mod also restores some f/f content as well. I want to try Thane romance some day even it ends in a sad way but yeah not romancing Kaidan through ME 1-2-3 will be difficult, especially now that I don't have to use console commands to get m/m content in ME1 and that I won't get misgendered anymore. While I love these mods, I hope that there will no need for them for future Bioware games. Just give us some equal and quality romances, Bioware! Edit: links to the mods: [ ME1] [ ME2] [ ME3]

Count me in! I would love Krem as an m/m option in DAI. I totally don't have a t-shirt with a picture of Krem on it.. not at all You can’t just drop a hypothetical like that and not include a link to the shirt you totally don’t have. Ah I am sorry. I was trying to search for it. It was made by an artist on Tumblr long time ago and I could not find any link to it. However on Redbubble website, you can find many shirts with Krem on them. The site does not have the one I have though.

the old "gays are evil" rhetoric from posters in this forum, I should not have come back so soon here urgh. Anyway, as cis gay man I would trade Klem for Dorian's spot in a heartbeat in DAI, handsome, chivalrous, a total dork when it comes to love and he's against tevinter slavery, perfect combination I should return to my cave before my blood boils and kills me in the process, I'm too young and pretty to die. Count me in! I would love Krem as an m/m option in DAI. I totally don't have a t-shirt with a picture of Krem on it.. not at all

Seeing the discussion in the twitter thread made me realize how much I’d be into having more nonverbal flirting options. Like, there’s a whole spectrum of touch between talking and kissing. * shifting in a chair to touch shoulders * lingering on a passed object so their fingers wrap around your hand * working a splinter or muscle tightness out of a limb * adjusting their hair or clothes * ye olde classic “teaching someone archery” (or other skill that provides an excuse to get close) Stuff that’s on the borderline between touchy-feely platonic friends and actual signals. Not overtly romantic, but possibly testing the waters in that direction. I’m sure these kinds of things have come up in previous romances, but I feel like they’re usually initiated by the LI rather than the PC, and usually after the romance is solid.

All this humanoid tree-fucking love is reminding me how bad I wanted a native plant-like dude companion for Greedfall, then they changed the design of the natives to be more human also vegetarianism has its roots in the ancient greece and ancient india so it's totally legit to roleplay a vegetarian lmao as those romances are totally legit since 1 they are in the game 2 the PR they did was "roleplay the sexuality you want FREEDOM OF CHOICE", ACO was never a fixed protagonist, so let's drop the "screw gay narratives" you guys are always trying to sealioning and invalidate thanks That would be very cool! Sadly I don't think there is going to be m/m native LI in that game. Now I am looking forward to the second prize: give me a gay sailor, Spiders!
