I've been a huge Mass Effect fan since the release of the first game.  The game is truly a well written, deep engrossing Sci-Fi story that can easily win any player over after 1 hour of gameplay. I still remember the controversey of the alleged graphic sex scene being covered by the media. Though this turned out to be false the game was still attacked because of the fear of children watching pixel animation characters performing sexual acts. Though I will always be a fan of the first two games, I believe that Bioware needs to seriously consider having an option to just turn the same sex romance off for the third game.  Bioware will indeed have to introduce male characters that are homosexual wether it be Kaiden or any other new male character. And as a writer myself, I know for a fact that which ever characters are homosexual will have to hint to this throughout their background story dialouge and flirtation will have to arise every so often while the characters communicate with one another.  This was the same format for all the characters that Shepherd could have a romance with for both Male/Female. That is the part that I really don't want to expereince. I don't want to listen and respond to options of the same sex character flirting or hitting on me. I want to play the game as a fun Sci-Fi epic hero experenice; not a sexualility discovering charcter driven game. If bioware wants to introduce homosexuality in the game as a positive thing they need to included also the option to view as a negative. Everything can't just be accepted, even in the future. God was talked about in the first Mass Effect by Ashley. And Legion was named after a man possessed with many devils from the Bible. With that said, Bioware has presented the fact that Christianity is apart of their Universe as well as other religions. Bioware needs to give the player the choice to view homosexuality the way the player views it. Whether there for it or against it. Giving the player the choice to only look at it positively is linear and forces only one opinion on the matter. I trust that the writing team can do so in a way that makes the dialogue not hateful. If Mass Effect greatest aspect is choice, then please give us players the ability for that option.

Two things:

1) Go away.

2) You are not a writer.

I must say that this is really getting out of hand. It's just a game.

I don't really care if a gay character hits on me, as long as they don't throw a hissy fit if I turn them down.

Adding this option will please a lot of the players, I think it's kind of selfish to remove content from the game if we have the option to not take part in it. But, like I said, I'll have an issue if it turns out the characters hate me forever for not sharing their feelings.

I'm sure you'll be given a choice whether or not to engage in same sex romances, just like in real life.

yes...there is a choice....don't ****ing talk to them....

in ME1, I didn't want to accidentally stumble into a relationship so I never spoke to Kaidan/Ashley or Liara....I only talked to Garrus, Wrex, and Tali...

please, if you honestly think that homosexuality is such a despicable thing...don't talk to the people that are gay....it's that simple

And yes, everything CAN be accepted...if slavery is still around in the future, I'm pretty sure homosexuality, which btw is a totally normal and natural thing, can be accepted.

Please keep your bigotry and close mindedness to yourself...if you are so insecure that two men (because in all honesty, that's what you're against...not two women) can have the possibility to get into a romance troubles you and makes you feel uncomfortable...so uncomfortable that it ****ing ruins the game for you....then tbh nobody cares what you think....

It's a option, if you don't like it, don't TAKE IT, it's simple like that. Also in case you didn't know, both ME1 and ME2 had same sex relationship if you were female shepard(Liara and Kelly), so I don't get it why you are complaining just now, since it was on the series since the begining...

I'm not sure if you know but this can be achieved, you simply avoid that particular romance option and just focus on the hetero romances.

Not exactly hard to do no?

 Yeah, take it easy.  I know the romances won't be forced on you. It is rather obvious which lines are flirtatious. ^_^

I think you're being much too hard on this guy! Really, I do.

I think we need to have the option in the game for Shepard to be a homophobic ass. I think we also need the option for him to be a racist, for him to hate religions (and make it denominational! I want to give those [DENOMINATION] a piece of my mind!) and most of all, for him to go long, rambling monologues about how Space President Obama's space economic policies are ruining his space gun shop.

No.

There are plenty of people who have been fans since Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights or Knights of the Old Republic who want an inclusive roleplaying gamewithout any "toggles" to disable character traits or options.

Also, "homosexual" and "bisexual" are not synonyms. Kaidan is not homosexual if he gets into a same-sex relationship.

Regardless, a Shepard of either sex will most likely be able to express that he or she is only interested in either S/S or O/S, just like FemShep was in regards to O/S in ME1.

But why would he save all those pesky gays, aliens and lesser humans?

Petitions are not allowed either.

Nah, don't get upset necessarily with the ME2 community... if anything Bioware games generally attract more open minded individuals in general... just be annoyed / upset with your fellow human beings in general for being spiteful, hate-ridden lifeforms. There's nothing about the Bioware / MAss Effect community that draws those people here.... just humans being their usual "I hate & fear everything I don't understand" selves.... it was useful when we were primitive cavemen.. kept us safe from snakes & fire.... but sadly these trappings are difficult to get rid of for some.

The idea of removing same sex relationships is...silly. They should be there. They should always have been there. Hell, they kinda were...more or less...

Do I like s/s, truthfully no. But others will and that's what matters. People just need to be tolerant and accepting of other people's preferences whether you agree with it or not. I damn well know that my views and preferences don't sit well with at least one other person on this planet. Deal with it, We aren't kids here, seriously. The only thing I'm against as far as this whole s/s drama goes is that the writers don't change existing characters. If someone is a gay or lesbian in Mass Effect 3 they should have been all the way back in Mass Effect 1.
