Dragon Age: Inquisn has straight, bisexual, and gay romanc bee they tell different stori, Bware says. How I realized by Dragon Age: Inquisn character is gay.

DRAGON AGE: ORIGS GAME GAY SEX SCENE SHOCK

Whenever there's an opportuny to flirt wh an npc that was genr rtricted, I ma open for gay/bi warns as well (e let's be real, the only genr rtrictns were favour of straight flirtg).

This appli to every time the Warn's relatnship wh Alistair or Morrigan is genred dialogue has been new banter for characters so that they'll acknowledge the gay jealoy dialogu for Alistair and Morrigan if the Warn is cheatg on eher of them wh the n do the dark rual wh n marry n marry Alistair.

Bee apparently Bware would rather have ct then gay. This week saw the arrival of Grand Theft Auto IV's send expansn The Ballad of Gay Tony, but looks like next week will see one more gay-clive game htg store shelv when Dragon Age: Origs go on sale.

HOW I REALIZED MY DRAGON AGE: INQUISN CHARACTER IS GAY

I've been hearg that Dragon Age would clu the possibily of a gay relatnship and an article about the imment ntroversy nfirms that gay male sexualy is a part of the game, cludg a (d, om the sounds of ) love scene siar to what players will see if they pursue an oppose-sex romance. However, if you want to know more watch out for SPOILERS and dly-NSFW imag potential gay relatnship happens wh Zevran, an elf who was born a brothel and rose to promence as a thief/assass.

While the love scene sounds like somethg that uld air on broadst TV, I n't thk of a role-playg game that has picted gay male sexualy to this gree -- Ja Empire panned away om s gay kiss, Bully's Jimmy Hopks wasn't terted much more than kissg and while Fable let gay upl marry, any sex to happen that marriage was blacked out. Meanwhile, isn't a gay elf the fantasy equivalent of a gay hairdrser?

DRAGON AGE 2’S GAY CHARACTER NTROVERSIAL WH STRAIGHT, GAY GAMERS

Sexualy and gay-clivens is probably one of vio gam' biggt taboos.

While a game like Fallout 3 clud very graphic vlence, slavery and dg e, sex was toned down to characters sleepg clothed the same bed and gay characters like Flak and Shrapnel were wrten vaguely.

I'm imprsed wh BWare for cludg a gay love scene Dragon Age and risk the homophobic reactn of gamers, even if I have some do you thk?
