Right, and the possibility to be black was thrown to give the blacks a hero.
Do you realize that your post is disgusting? I suppose you don't.
You strike me as a person who takes offense way too easily.
I think it left. But it got worse while you were away
Very extremist views and has no idea what equality means.
Even tho I was just stating what the Devs said when Mass effect was just about to launch.
Seemed to come in with a chip on her/his shoulder to be sure.
Perhaps, but Nyoka is right in pointing out the inequality. It's not fair to give a single gay LI to gay players and figure that that is somehow equal to having six-eight potential love interests for straight players. Better to aim for the DA:O solution: most LIs shared with one or two purely straight. Of course, then we get into the argument over whether it's "too late" to do that, and we go back to the debate over whether it's out of character or not (you think it is, I think it isn't, whatever).
If I could go back in time and whack Bioware upside the head, I'd have them stick with the original idea of Kaidan and Ashley being bi (ME1 solved there), had Garrus/Jack/Thane/Tali be bi or "Shepard-sexual", and Miranda and Jacob be straight. Everyone happy... plenty of LIs for everyone, avoid the "whole squad is gay/bi" issue with some straight characters, and plenty of alien/human **** and peen for everyone.
And if I could go back in time and smack them in the head it would be to leave Ash and Kaidan alone, but to add two additional characters one gay and one lesbin, and even better, add 2 more to that who are bi-sexual. I dislike the one for all and all for one idea.
They are never going to please everyone. It's not possible. They could make every person you meet a LI possibility and some people (me) would hate it. Someone is going to complaine that the straight guy is too nice or boring or evil, or the bisexual guy actually perfers girls becuase he had a girlfriend when he was younger.
I'd much rather them have characters that are well written with a consistant background. I don't just play one game or one sex. DA:O I had one for every romance option. Male Wardon/Zev; Female Warden/Zev; Male Warden/Morgain; Female Warden/Alistair; Male Warden/Leliana; Femal Warden/Leliana. DA:2 all of my Hawkes are straight, and I find that a loss. I don't want a bland romance one size fits all.
I want individuals who stay individuals no matter what my character is. I may not like them, I may even complain about it, but when all is said and done, I'd rather have a consistant character I don't adore rather than one that is so confused they don't know who they want to love.
If they decided at the end of the ME series to change the characters I've grown to know, it would be a very dispointing event. Hopefully they will try something else, like bring in new characters which they will do anyway.
