I doubt anything they add could possibly be that in-depth. They'll just disable the /gendercheck and be done with it. That's what I'd do at least...that's equality right?

I like how the negativity in this forum comes from people believing what they assume to be fact.

We don't know how they'll implement it, so no point in treading there as if you're sure of it.

Never said I was sure of anything, I even said "If it were me".

Yea, never said you were sure of anything.

Speculation is fine, but making up something to only support your claim destroys all merit.

Right. That's exactly what I said. That was what I think they'll do. What do you think they'll do?!

I'll think they'll add it how they did in DA2 and JE, how history has shown they'll do it. Definetly not a no /gendercheck as you said. We have no point to believe otherwise atm besides pure pessimism.

I wasn't trying to be pessimistic. I was honestly thinking it's the obvious solution. While it may be nice for folks like you who care to think they'll write you your very own story, I just don't see that as a plausible course, especially given the fact that the entire romance option (male or female) is already in-game. I'm not trying to be a jerk.

You don't see it as a course, but I do with reason. What the devs said when being questioned about it only affirms it. They said they don't want to "shoehorn" it in the game, they want to flesh it out and put the story in right. I really don't expect Bioware of all devs to slap a story in halfheartedly. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

In DA2, unlike other Bioware games, every romance companion was bi. It was stupid. Completely ignoring gender is exactly what they did.
The game reeked of cheapness and lazyness in every way (EA's influence no doubt), from the re-used areas, dumb battles (NPCs spawning from the buildings and even the sky to prolong battles), inventory items having the blandest icons ever, everybody in the world is bi, etc). It's exactly how NOT to do a game. I hope they've learned their lesson.

Agreed. Given their history, I will urge you to keep your expectations in-check though.
