That is true, Bioware tends to do m/m companions non-whites, it's like they throw their diversity bag in one place. I think we talked about this in other thread but I dont remember when or how lol Zevran, Fenris, Dorian, Gil, Reyes, Steve are all dark skinned and IB or Jaal are purple lol the only exceptions are Anders and Kaidan, one from a game with all bi approach and the other one with a tailored romance for women in mind. I'm not counting Sky for obvious reasons, I hope we have an east-asian companion in DA4. John Rolfe is bae too I'm going to try to keep my expectations low for a native american though, I only ask the m/m option is not from the religious faction, sorry but I'm atheist as fuck and my character if they let you, is going to be it as well XD I always thought Kaidan had some Asian heritage so he wasn't 100% IndoEuropean. I would like a KISA but am not bothered by appearance. Just want some chivalry! I read that too but I thought it was stated somewhere he was a white canadian?? Luciano Costa is brazilian, maybe Kaidan is a mixed of all the above lol I want a native american warrior boyfriend that protects me from monsters with a big tomahawk found this

Oh thank fuck, it's not an open world game. I'm really getting tired of open world games. I don't have the gaming stamina for them all. No open world, interesting premise, male & female protag & s/s romances? I'm sold. I'm hoping they make all their romances bi, not because I necessarily prefer it but because Spiders a small dev, so everyone being bi means that no one will get shafted when it comes to romance content. Also I need to romance a warrior woman and if making everyone bi is how I get to romance her then I will take it. thank you for the nightmares It's not my fault you can't handle Robocop's realness.

I'm glad the dev explained why it's not open world, i hope they really drive home the fact that the game is better for not having it. I just hope the mindset of the industry changes and open world stops being this mandatory trend people feel the need to include just for the sake of it.

Was he modeled after Luciano in ME1 or just in ME3? I don't know if there's any lore behind him other than being from Vancouver and I think his mother was in Singapore at the time she was pregnant with him and was exposed to eezo? But neither of those facts indicates his heritage at all, TBH. It's not my fault you can't handle Robocop's realness.

I saw an interview with Luciano where he said that Kaidan was modeled after him in ME1 and they kept it secret until ME3 iirc it would be great if Kaidan was half east-asian though, I really like the idea! Also ME is set in the future so mixed-race people would be pretty common =)

nickclark89I actually want the religious faction guy/girl etc be attracted to the same sex (that actually states their attraction clearly, looks at suvi) bc we need more of those types; thought I finally got that with Joseph from dream daddy but no.

Yes, i would actually enjoy debating with my partner in the game about their beliefs, you know as long as it's an open minded thing and he doesn't hate me for not fully agreeing. I really liked the civil debates i had with Suvi, now if i could do that with my boyfriend? That could be really interesting.

The thing about pirates is that homosexuality was a thing between them, of course not everyone was gay/bi lol but when society from those days condemned homosexuality, ofc a lot of gay men were pirates. I dont know if you guys know about what Matelotage is, but that's the name for gay marriage between two pirate men. One of many reasons I want a native american or a pirate as LI in this case, it's because -if Spiders does their historical homeworks right- they were people where homosexuality was not a sin. I dont want gay angst with colonists... Goddess that would be awful, of course this is a game and they could ditch the historical homophobia, but I dont want risks like those and the game is set in the real world, not like DA. I'm liking your comment out of appreciation for you, but I'm totally against it XDDD the last thing I want is a puritan as my boyfriend lol So you, y-you don't appreciate me? I r betrayed. ofc I do Drell

PIRATES ARE RENEGADE SAILORSĀ Maybe not puriant but you know believing in a higher power or God. I'm literally projecting here so. (I just feel so ugh everytime people pull the religion + homophobia/straight crap) can't people be Christian and gay/bi? Or like any other religion as well???

I agree it would be great to have a clearly queer character (sorry Suvi) who is also religious/spiritual without having Real World religious issues. It would be nice in a fantasy world to allow religions not to have the same homophobia or other social issues that we often face IRL.
I am not religious but I would imagine for queer people who are, it would be nice for them to have representation in games.

In games set in present times, fictional settings like DA or set in the future like ME I wouldnt care, Suvi is awesome as much as Leliana. But this game is set in the past of our real world, I'm just scared of the implications

Remember the description, 'several distinct nations from fictional lands.' But yeah there still are implications.

I want a guy from the scientists faction. that's it.
religious may be the non-romanceable companion, if the universe has super-strict religion set and they are a loyal follower. edit: I'm not talking about "no homo" there - just "no relationship" in general. actually would be an interesting thing to do especially as bioware has a tendency of making all religious companions romanceable and with a route for them to abandon the church or "well, whatever, we're still dating even if I sit on this sunburst throne or smth". datesims are fine and stuff, but I'd like to see character progression re: religion without our character jumping on them and things going the same way as always. maybe them coming to some decisions by themselves, without our shiny hero and their magical pants intervening. sometimes I can almost understand people who dislike some romances in bio games - because they can have all of character's progression contained in them and if you won't/can't romance them, you're kinda screwed and lose a part of lore/progression. yes, solas.
so far I'm thinking about them making either 4 bi 1 non-romanceable or 2 straight 2 bi 1 non-romanceable. I know that having something only for us is a shiny and nice idea but I'm a realist pessimist, can't help with that.
girl from the trailer is probably natives companion. she can be a super-important NPC as Spiders featured them in their trailers previously, buuuut dunno. I just hope scientist role won't be taken by a girl too so we'll have only mercenary and/or sailor.
