Dragon age: gayness


Walsingham

Recommended Posts

seems like a waste o' resources to add gay
From a cost analysis I don't think it would be too much.
I remember reading that the gay segment of the population has an insane purchasing power. The lack of a gay romance may or may not be a turnoff for (gay) customers, but it looks like Bio chose not to risk it. A sensible decision if the popularity of regular romances is anything to go by.

 

Ethics? Equality? Artistic statements? More like market forces...

unless every gay player is buying 10 copies, the numbers simply won't add up.

 

HA! Good Fun!

What numbers have to add up? Alanschu said the characters were bisexual so the cost of including a gay romance can't have been that much, appealing to more people without a significant extra effort.

 

It's not purchasing 10 copies, either, but DA on top of other stuff. But apparently BIO decided to cut the gay romance from ME2, so then again, maybe not.

I wonder if the gay romance for Mass Effect was stripped due to the style and story of the game. While I'd still consider it a roleplaying game, the narrative is less flexible than other RPGs I have played, so I found there to be a bit more "hand holding."

I just bought Dragon Age, but i wonder if i will ever bother to persue the gay romance. Or any romance for that matter.

 

Most likely i will just stumble upon it when i am not paying attention too much to the dialogue.

I hope that it isn't as awkward as this:

I must admit that I too was both :shifty: and :wacko: to see the word 'secret'. ONly to those who haven't played the game, I'd guess.

 

On the Bioware forums, we have discussed this in length in several romance threads, both on the old forums and now at the bioware social site.

 

Anwyho, as the video clearly explains, you will only get to see this, if you make the correct choices in the dialogue.

is you channeling vol? is you who mentioned insane purchase power of the gay gamer. if gay not take anything additional to add, then that is useful to know. regardless, the purchase power o' the gay gamer is limited by their relative small numbers. cost v. benefit is indeed affected by zots it takes to implement, but the purchase power o' gay gamers, as a group, is limited by their small numbers. is no insane purchase power from a publisher's pov.

Wut?

 

Numbers, please. I seriously doubt the gay segment has 'insane' purchasing power. Definitely no more than most other minorities.

Perhaps if she took her bra off, he wouldn't have such a serious look on his face.
