Hoping to get an insider perspective – and a range of perspectives, for that matter – I asked around online, and several queer Dragon Age fans out there were kind enough to tell me about the characters and relationships available, as well as their thoughts on the games. I guess “expertise” about any of the stuff in this column is debatable, but given my general approach, I’d like to at least have some basis in personal experience. …Yeah, so that’s a fairly substantial problem. There was only one problem, though: I’ve never actually played any Dragon Age games!
The Dragon Age series of games is currently one of BioWare’s big titles, and with the newest installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, debuting this week, I thought it would be a good time to talk about those particular games in a little more depth. In my first column, I touched briefly on Canadian game developer BioWare and their inclusion of same-sex relationships and queer characters.
