Thanks guys I hardly have to do any work here defending myself, have a cookie!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new and old LI's being s/s now, I just don't think it would work well with Kaiden and Ashley.rynluna wrote...

The way ME1 played out leads to the assumption that Ash is for male sheps and Kaiden is for femsheps. Eden Prime with the beacon exploding for example.
It's not specifically stated, but everyone is led to believe that both are straight. Hence it would be a minor retcon for these characters methinks.
I don't think it would be for ME2 LIs though.
It's just assumptions though. There are some MaleSheps who didn't romance Ash in ME1 and FemSheps who didn't go for Kaidan. Choices, choices everywhere!
Also, don't let this turn into another slingfest. Just report the trolls and keep on topic.

lol the homophobia arguement is gettin old bring some new **** to the table.
or dont talk about it at all.
What? Having a "strong and deep issue" with male to male romance, which doesn't even have to be taken part of, just the content sitting in the game making a person not buy it, is not homophobia?

I don't care if they're gay, as long as they get the job done.
As long as none of them jump down my throat about it like that it shouldn't really matter. Whoever is made bisexual/homosexual shouldn't show it unless pursued by the same gender. That way everyone's view is right. Nobody would be wrong in saying they are straight even if they can be romanced by both genders, because it never happens in your game.
That's the way I'm seeing it, anyway.
I know about the cut s/s lines, but I don't think they removed that to appeas fox news if you get what I mean. I reckon they realised it didn't really fit in well and didn't have time to implement it better.SennenScale wrote...

That's totally understandable if you just think it seems a little off, given that who gets rescued from the beacon and stuff like that changes to be the LI Shep can pursue. We're all kinda attatched to them and all, and then there's the cut s/s lines, but anyone (old or new) who is written well is welcome in my book.

Threatening not to buy ME3 because of optional romance content will really make BioWare listen to concerns.

Going by this line of thinking, whoever is made straight also shouldn't show it unless pursued by the opposite gender.

Some people see bullies in differing opinions and some people are bullies without them even realising.

Guys—somebody get Casey Hudson on the phone. Somebody on the Internet thinks he knows why they initially cut s/s lines from ME1. Stop the presses, we have to go back to the drawing board with the s/s stuff now. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.

I'm pretty sure most don't. Isn't that the line of reasoning for making certain characters gay? Because they never showed signs of def being one way. Contradicting yourselves eh?

I never said I was not buying it because someone else could play as a character who loves the same sex.
I am not buying it because of the content in the game . Even though it is optional its stil content with in the game. I have no problem with female and female sex . I do have a strong and deep issue with male and male sex. That is why I am refusing to by this game .
Oh ExtremeOne, the more you post the more I think your a parody of the enraged video game consumer. You're like pure unadulterate satire, like Anne Coulter. You can deny it all you want, I know your secret... your actually a rational person shining the light on fan rage.

They have cut s/s dialogue in ME1, true.
They probably didn't remove it for no reason so it seems pretty clear to me that the writers didn't think s/s relationships would work for that character in that game at the time it had to be shipped.
Why else would they do it?

Oh this issue has enraged me but the best way deal with that is not to buy the game based on the content in the game..
