does the sexuality of a player charakter REALLY matters that MUCH?
Bioware listens to much to that retarded fanbase in that biowhore forums...
Either you read it wrong, or you are reading what you want hear.
They are not making him a victim of his order and a deviant. They are merely stating that his sexual preference, which of course he has no control over, deviates from the "norm" in the mage order. He is nevertheless an honorable mage and otherwise lives his life based on common principles and objectives. He just is what he is and obviously does not hide it. The fact that he is gay does not, in and of itself, make him a deviant and undignified.
I think many are making this more than it is based on their own preconceived notions.
The game you are looking for requiring no PvE completion and where you can just jump in and start mindlessly shooting at people is that way - >>>>
... it's called an FPS.
Quit ruining the MMORPG genre with your constant "PvE grind" whines.
I don't really get why this is such a big deal.
So a character is gay. So what? Making that announcement as if it is a big deal causes more problems than it hopes to solve, not because being gay is bad or anything (it isn't), but because it might make some impressionable homosexuals believe that such an announcement is a big deal deserving of fanfare, which will always rub homophobes the wrong way.
Since when is Tuesday a direction?
eh what has being gay got to do with a game? and whats a fully gay? can you get half gays and quarter gays? i thought gay was gay?
so is dragon age now the most gayest game ever? eh gratz i guess?
Just cause you see it as a big announcement does not mean everyone else does. I saw a short piece about this on some site and that is about it. Same coverage as every other story today, be it Rebellion suing Ironclad, Smash Brothers being Smash Brother and many others.
Previously all Bioware characters were bisexual. This character is gay. Simple. Not really sure what is confusing to you.
there is no difference , if you could be bi-sexual in teh game then you could of just of been "fully" gay.... its teh choice you make as the player so what have they done removed the choice. my guess is they make the character really camp. god damn always whining until they get what they want, what if normal people dont want to listen to that shit, it better be a choice id rather have a nice lesbian

I disagree, I think the difference is in how they have to write a character that only goes one way. Before characters were written to be ambiguous, they had to write it so all dialog fits both ways. I mean of course we will see if they put actual effort into it, but in general it can be a pretty big difference.
There is a bigger picture at play. Yet many fail to see it and even more refuse to accept it. Civil rights is never easy, often times painful, with results often ending quite bloody. When it comes to civil rights nothing ever changes and sweeping it under the rug or pushing it into the closet (not pun intended) achieves nothing and only succeeds in encouraging a status quo. Sometimes noise just has to be made to effect change. There is a greater cause behind it all. Many will never like it or accept it because it does not affect them. They do not understand because they are not the oppressed. Though many will obviously not agree for a variety of reasons, it is all for a greater good. It is history repeating itself with a different group of people. If it feels like it is being shoved down your throat, its because it is. Change is coming, whether you like or not ... and it is about time.

Completely different games. The Witcher is fantasy like Game of Thrones is fantasy. It has a strong sense of medieval realism. It's somewhere around where Low Fantasy starts. Dragon Age is high fantasy.
Half gay half elves. They're everywhere!
I just hope the story is good. After E3 I really liked how the mechanics were presented (EA's good at presenting things) but DA2's mechanics were okish.. Just the story wasn't any good.
a yo ho ho
And yet they all have dragons. Witcher has elves aswell and game of thrones has undead. None of them are low fantasy.
lol, ah so you know the movie! Well, yeah that's a weird one.

Low fantasy can have fantasy races and monsters. Low fantasy does not equal historic fantasy.
Imagine the widespread uproar from the "heterosexual" community if relationships were not part of a popular game. The calls of injustice and left wing inspired conspiracy fueled by hatred and bigotry.
We know that won't happen. The homosexual lobby and goal is but a systemic solution and public outcry, judicial and legislative activism can only go so far. Sexual preference is a behavior except for one rather large stipulation: every breathing, living person straight and gay person are on this planet is here because of some kind of heterosexual relationship.
Thanks Mom and Dad. I could care less that a game should remind me of that.
How are they low fantasy, what defines them as so? Both a song of ice and fire and the witcher share all the same types of monsters as dragon age. The only differance i can see between them is that dragon age has a less complicated plot and therefore it's a less mature title.
It's a single paragraph in a character's bio that is otherwise not about sexuality at all.
Are we seriously living in this sad of a backwards world where people need to search for supposed marketing tricks when a character's bio briefly talks about a sexuality that is a little bit out of the norm?
Even if it is a marketing trick, all the power to them. You make it seem like all games that employ marketing tricks are trying to hide the fact that they're actually bad games. That's of course utter nonsense. You'd easily be able to throw tons of games that turned out perfectly good in the bin then, like the crowd favourite Witcher series, which sells its sex appeal just the same.
If they wonna market by showing that they're tolerant to all sexual preferences, let them. It's better than the next wave of marketing showing off scandidly clad characters in plate bikinis and the like.
And that pilot guy in ME3 is just that: a minor character, period. If you go around basing a theory off of that, you're way off track. Also, if I remember right, he didn't ever use his being gay as a device at all. He lost his partner and was sad because of that, then you found out that his partner was a man.
No one in the Mass Effect universe looked up and found that a weird thing, maybe we could actually learn something from that.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
GoT and The Witcher take place in realistic worlds based on medieval times. It's fantasy dealings in a gritty realistic setting. Not only that but both are pretty brutal worlds that the authors have created. Both are also character driven. To me Low Fantasy is about characters while High Fantasy is about the plot. It's a human drama vs save the world sort of difference. Where the focus lies determines partially what genre something falls into.
Dragon Age is fantasy dealings in a fantasy setting. Even though there are down trotten elves the rest of it is pure sword and sorcery. It is also a game where, maybe despite what the devs wanted, the story takes center stage rather than most of the bit bland heroes. Dragon Age has a less complicated plot as you have said, there is less politics in it. It is a save the world story through and through.
This is how I see the differences though. Some people call DA a dark fantasy game which I can't agree with. Sure it's bloody but there are no horror elements, it's not a scary game. It's not the same as Dark/Demon Souls which is dark fantasy.
I guess that does make sense. So basically it's what i said, low fantasy has more adult themes e.g politics/culture etc whereas high fantasy is centered around the "hero" and is more of an easy read.
I would say that high fantasy centers are the "quest."
The problem is that they won't have to drum them up. They'll show up.
