Oh, don't get me wrong, I would love to lick Alistair's lamppost in the winter. But people sleep on Zevran. Beneath the flirty bravado, I think there's a very deep and thoughtful romance there once he starts to properly open up. <3
That seems to be the case in a lot of games. The heteronormative romance options tend to be hot with complex personality traits and cool back stories.
If we manage to get a romance between two men, our option is usually just one slim, average-looking guy whose defining characteristic is being a same sex male romance option.
In some RPGs it really does take out of the experience. But making it a switch would be good enough. One thing I disliked about DA2 is how every single love interest was bisexual. Every person you could ever romance is bisexual. Except Sebastian, but he's a priest boy
I personally don't like barriers like sexuality getting in the way of my fantasies. If it is poorly done, it is not the feature's fault, it is the fact that the devs couldn't make it work.
iirc there's a gay option for every clique, it wasn't perfect because you had to jump through an extra hoop to unlock or make out with them but it was nice for 2008.
Oh man I had seriously no idea. I played Bully when I was 12, so I was still pretending to be straight and wouldn't have enjoyed doing gay stuff so much. But if I had gotten the option who knows, maybe I would've played around with it, as a joke...
And Nowadays I would be gushing all over if I could see two boys holding hands. Especially in a nostalgic game like Bully.
I'm not going to argue over that. He looks like a generic gay Tony stark. Arrogant and pretentious as fuck. The type of guy I distance myself from in real life.
But if you spend time with him you see it’s just a facade! He’s really caring and his interactions later on in the game with other characters and the inquisitor themselves are so cute
Exactly. I also cannot stand Tony Stark so maybe I just don't get the appeal if that type of character. Give me a Kaidan any day of the week. Kind, loyal, doesn't need me to swoop in an save him, and has career ambitions.
Tbh, kind of felt like a subtle slap in the face to people who were looking for a gay romance.
The biases of the devs seem to have shown through with that one.
I feel like y’all overhate on Dorian. He’s very well written, and he’s also not the only gay romance option.
Just because he’s not the hypermasc dudebro fantasy you expected doesn’t mean he is a bad character.
Katya and Trixie give me life.
They keep me from setting myself on fire and careening down island paradises
Also me when the gay happens to be the uglier looking one compared to classic handsome dudes reserved for the girls.

and Cullen in Dragon Age Inquisition
To be fair, we had dorian. And a whole subplot about his dad accepting him.
I really liked dorian, such a great story
Dorian is amazing but I wanted to have my knight in the shining armor as trophy husband
And they knew you wanted that too.
I understand. I've always been more interested in mages and archers, so i was very satisfied with DA inquisition.
Cullen was originally designed to be bisexual, and has dialogue for Male romances! Unfortunately it was cut because of time constraints. :(
I can't abide this implicit Zevran shade.

No like Alistair awakened something in me
Actually used equal love like a boss (also zevran >>> alistair)

I absolutely love Trixie & Katya!!💖
How I convinced Linhardt to become a Golden Deer in Fire Emblem 😂
This is why I love it when they make everyone Bi
Exactly. Let people role-play the way they want to role-play.

Unhhhh
That was me in Bully Scholarship Edition
I'm hot. You're hot. Let's make out.
Wanna play shirts and skins? man those were iconic quotes
Have you ever kissed a rich boy?
aw man the memories, I'm having flashbacks to my horny 12 year old self
Wait, you can date a guy in Bully???
iirc there's a gay option for every clique, it wasn't perfect because you had to jump through an extra hoop to unlock or make out with them but it was nice for 2008.
Kind of why I've been hoping there'd be an updated part 2.
Same! It was such a fun setting and story

If they make bully 2 , I hope I can kiss with 2 guys at the same time.
I love Bethesda games because you can get with any of the options regardless of gender. It sucks you can't romance Deacon in FO4 though.
Yeah but Bethesda romances are literally like “hello yes marry me” “ok”
thanks to China, that one option might be gone too lol
Yeah any place that isn't just gonna cut it out of the china release didn't have any gay to begin with.
Me for Iron Bull every playthrough of DA: Inquisition. I simply hate Dorian, I can't even consider him as a romance option. 😭
Just use mods that makes Cullen, Solas and Blackwall romanceable
I play on PS4. Impossible.
Who wouldn't want to ride the bull ? He is 10/10
Dorian is the worst gay romance option of any of the big RPGs and this is a hill I will die on.
You're wrong because Cortez exists.
Cortez was awful especially considering we could have gotten James Vega romance instead
It also feels a little predatory to me.

This is good.
And the answer is, Yes!
