Haven't played DA2 yet but I gotta say that I don't really have much plans for my Hawke for it. I know that I'll start him out as either a rogue or mage but aside from that, not much. It's amazing how far people plan their character's interaction out when there's so little to know about those they will interact with (and I meant that before the

I was following the news on romantic options (specifically the m/m ones) before release, and was rudely reminded of how painfully stupid and hateful people can be. If you don't want to "play a gay dude", fine, no one's forcing you to (despite the claims of the one guy who was ranting that "Bioware was forcing him to learn about gay sex" in DA:O to get achievements. No, he couldn't play as a female, it was just unpossible!). But that doesn't mean you're entitled to run around spouting how awful it is and that it shouldn't be in the game, period.

I just... can't understand it. Maybe part of it is because I have no religious background whatsoever, I don't know, but I really just can't understand why someone's preferences are so important to anyone else...

You mean the BSN right? I figure they'd be nicer there since...well...it's where the...official stuff...nevermind. I guess I can't be surprised. 8|

Pfffft, he blames Bioware for his compulsive need to gather achievements? xDDD Jeez.

I don't think religion has too much to do with it (it could though), but there are tons of homophobic atheists out there. D8

I've been trying to avoid planning for DA2 because I went in to DA:O with my character completely planned out ("I WILL BE QUEEEEN!!1") and I want to do it differently this time. xD

But with a man, that's ten times the hatred.

I've noticed this, too. It's really upsetting, especially when you contrast it with how the same viewers react to two women.

Also, I love how your comment is the "weak attempt of insulting people" and not the tons of comments about how "THIS SHIT IS GAY." STAY CLASSY YOUTUBE.

the folks in the DA-universe are open minded about love and such (David Gaider said so :P)
Makes me SO sad that the gamers aren't.

This, x100. I kind of try to avoid bringing up DA romances unless I really know who I'm talking to. ^^;

I'm not good at planning. It did got a little easier by like...my third character but I generally don't plan because they either don't turn out that way or it's too much work. :D;;;

You know, I probably wouldn't have made that comment if I hadn't thought that it would get tons of views. When I watched and commented on it, there were only a couple of hundred. xDDD

Folks I know don't mind, though yeah, I wouldn't broadcast it across youtu- oh wait, I have tons of M!Warden/Zev romance videos. LOL
