This has led to some open objections from players of varying stripes, from this offensively misleading CTRL-ALT-DEL strip to this open petition from self-described gay players to fire lead writer David Gaider over negative representations of gays. If you reject him, however, the game awards you rivalry points that scale onto Anders’ overall friendship-to-rivalry affection meter.
He will do this if you have been nice to him, and as openly affectionate as we’ve seen Anders to be in the past, this makes a decent amount of sense. The situation: of the four primary romance options in Dragon Age II, one of those, the apostate mage Anders, will make a pass at your Lord or Lady Hawke. To whit, is Dragon Age II “punishing” the player for rebuffing a romance he doesn’t want, and do we as players need to get over our search for happy, equitable solutions? See my review for more.) This, too, might have been predicted considering the extent to which BioWare RPGs often get discussed with respect to their romances, but in this debate surrounding this release, we find a curious intersection between issues of systems and mechanics and issues of writing. You may also have heard that the romantic subplots of Dragon Age II are somehow dominating the discourse surrounding the game, presumably directly after whether it’s any good or not.
So, in case you haven’t heard, they’re all bisexual.
