Kvinnelige spillkarakterer og likekjønnede forhold er ikke noe nytt i Biowares spill, men det er samtidig ikke vanlig kost i andre titler. Produsent Cameron Lee synes at flere rollespill burde la spilleren velge etnisitet, kjønn og seksuell legning.
"It's an important topic. It goes back to fantasy fulfilment. Your fantasies may be different to mine in terms of gender, sexuality, race, class, how you look, all these things. We're not going to force you to be a fixed character, that you have to be this male guy that runs through the world and looks a certain way, walks a certain way. We even give you choices of voices.
"So why picking a gender or sexuality is an issue is beyond me. We have the technology to do it, and we have for a long time, so why not let your fantasy be different?"
Dragon Age: Inquisition kommer naturligvis til å la deg gjøre som du selv vil. Lee mener at alle suksessrike rollespill burde tilstrebe det samme ettersom valgfrihet er selv kjernen i sjangeren.
"And I think it's a shame that more games don't allow you to have that freedom".
