HUGE SPOILERS that make me happy

So the game just established Krem as trans. You ask why he passes as male and he says he doesn't, he is a dude. Then the Iron Bull says that the Qun have a term for trans people and that they're recognized as the gender they identify as and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this makes me super happy

EDIT: like... we NEVER get well-handled trans characters in games. NEVER. and krem is awesome and well handled and aaaaaaaaaaa i love him i love da:i

I just met Krem yesterday, he's awesome.

Really sounds like Bioware's atoning for their one big misfire in DA2.
I gotta say, while I wasn't fond of Mass Effect 3's controversy and how that was handled, Bioware's the one and only team of developers that seems to be listening to their fans and trying. I mean, look at how Ubisoft and Atlus and every other AAA developer seems to relish fucking shit up, it's refreshing that Bioware's making even the slightest of efforts.

And is it too early to declare that Dragon Age has officially supplanted Mass Effect as Bioware's best ongoing franchise? And this is coming from someone who thought Origins was mediocre. ME just feels stalled with ME3 while DA2 and Inquisition have raised the bar.

It's not fair that Cassandra is straight ;-;

From what I hear I should be very happy that Iron Bull follows the Qun ideas on sexuality. And that the whole camp gets to enjoy the gifts of the Qunari physiology.

Huh, I was wondering what the deal with Krem was. That's cool. I was guessing they were trying to make him be a really young teenager (and got a woman to voice him to imitate a pre-voice drop boy) and they fucked up the model so he looked like a grown man.

Also on the mages, I generally don't think the Templars should be in charge of overlooking them now that I'm back into the swing of things.
But some sort of Circle like thing with a counter in case of blood magic outbreaks seems like a good option.

I ended up going mages first because they seemed a lot more reasonable than the templars in Orlais.

Also wondering what we'll get for dlc/expacs. I'm kinda hoping for Tevinter or Par Vollen.

Edit: also yes Cassandra being straight sucks. No good lesbian options in this game really. Was gonna go with Dorian, then nope he's gay.

Inorite?

It was a pretty great scene finding out, and I did like how they handled the fact he'd been flirting with you up until then, though, so I can't really complain.

Speaking of, I ALSO like that you can flirt with everyone, regardless of if they'll be interested in you, and then, oh, well, I'm gay/straight/whatever. It makes things feel more real and organic.

Also going to revive this thread to just say that I've been playing the fuck out of this game since I got it. I've got like 65 hours on it (more according to my save time, but I'm estimating down a bit for like, eating or whatever without quitting out) and I have loved every minute of it.

I'm pretty sure this is one of my favorite games of all time.

Madness has consumed me and I'm sorta half thinking about that -50% on DA2 on Origin, mostly because I'm now notching up DAI on an invisible wishlist. How does one get hold of the DLC, though? Ludicrously overpriced, never discounted Bioware points as always?

I was at a ball and Sera was making insulting remarks about nobles and decided to include some transphobia in there
