Gay Gamers Want Dragon Age 2 Writer Fired
- Thread starter Andy Chalk

Anders in Awakening was Alistair in a dress. And I never particularly cared for Alistair to begin with.
As far as I'm concerned, Anders was a far more interesting character in DA2.

He is stereotyping himself by saying "Homosexuals are like this, not like that!". People are people, and people are different, regardless of their sexuality.

Seriously, that's quite a load of bullshit and frankly smells more like a troll than a legitimate complaint. Person taking a certain amount of dislike to you because they find you attractive and you blow them off? That's not normal? Is that guy for real?
Jesus guys way to take one step forward and two steps back. Seriously the gay community needs to get its act together and figure out what the hell we actually want. This guy is just painting us ALL in a negative light.
I got through the whole of the game carefuly guiding my way around the romance with Anders. Never gained a single rivalry point that way.
Now Merril, on the other hand. Christ, it was either let her move and have a relationship, or tell her to piss off and make her get angry at you. God dammit, I mean, it's not like I had sex with Isabella the night before or anything...

Hai. I'm a bicurious man. I did not feel like I was forced into a homosexual relationship. I also did not feel like the game was homophobic nor enforced homosexual stereotypes, except for the "pretty boy" Fenris. But he was just an emo Zevran with a gravely voice instead of a smooth silky.... sorry? What? Eh? Oh yes sorry.. I enjoyed the game and enjoyed immersing myself into the city and story. Why do people feel the need to raise their pitchforks over trivial matters.
I would love to see a petition of Gay gamers who *don't* think the writer should be fired.
You only hear about anger. Never enjoyment.

Idiotic action by the gamer. One only to show exactly why society hasn't moved forward very far on approaching different sexualities.
Real shame this IDIOT showed up in my opinion.

Technically, ME1 had no gay relationships, Asari are gender neutral, or have both, not sure, have not read the codex in a while.Onyx Oblivion said:
Back to the point, I have not met a gay man that was not a stereotype. But that's just me. The writing in DA2 was not THAT bad, just the reusing of areas was the real big thing. And the Supplier achievement not unlocking for me despite having all the resources(not from emporium either).
I just wish people could shut up about DA2, some loved it, some hated it, same as ANY other game
Except its a big deal because its by bioware, ok then
OT: I don't think anders was a stereotypical gay, I thinks he's reading into his personality a bit. He's very flirty because thats his personality not because he is gay

I'm quite willing to bet that the "Homosexual Playing Dragon Age 2" is, in fact, a troll of some bred. Anyway, obviously, everyone is different and saying that an Ander's-type person doesn't exist is just silly; plus, rejecting someone isn't going to make them your friend, lets be honest. Certainly never endeared any women to me.
Wait, since when was that a bad thing?Irridium said:
OT: This is just obscene, if you can't please one group of gamers you somehow please another and vise versa. Better to just shoot for the largest group and hope it hits the target. But what do I know, I don't work at Bioware.
Since I don't know how to use spoiler tags I'm going to have to phrase this post in very vague terms.
There is a reason why Anders pursues Hawke aggressively and it's not because he's bisexual. It's more to do with him being flawed in other ways. I don't think his efforts to get close to Hawke even have anything to do with sexual attraction, particularly considering the events in the chantry.
(Think I left that appropriately vague for people who haven't played the game.)
This guy is, in my opinion, looking for a problem where there's none to be found.
Also, is it possible that party members pursue a romantic engagement with Hawke to a different degree depending on how you play the character everywhere as well as just directly interacting with them? I must be doing something wrong 'cos on both my play-throughs only Fenris has tried and his efforts seemed half-hearted at best.

There is also a humorous conversation between Anders and Oghren where Oghren claims that Anders hatred for the templars comes from being sexually molested by a male templar. Anders' response is "Ewwwwww!"TwistedEllipsis said:
Plus I'm pretty sure that Anders hits on every female who he's put in a party with and never hits on the males, unless you count his and Orghren's beautiful bromance.
Ser-Pounce Alot was another thing that annoyed me; Anders was a hero who fought the darkspawn threat when all other Warders in the area were dead and he was also a close personal friend of the Warden Commander of the area, who the hell would be able to force him to give up the cat!? Did the First Warder issue a decree that Anders' cat needs to be taken away!?
Sorry, there aren't any actual playable romances in Awakenings, that I'm aware of. See above for what I'm basing my statements on. I'm also a little it in love with Merril, but she is also the only choice for a male hetero character. Isabella is just foul, and I'm not sure you can come between Aveline and her crush, even if I wanted to.Jaranja said:
Someone needs to learn to use the conversation wheel. Half-wheel. Maybe if he wasn't too busy filing petitions...
