IF Vega was the S/S romance option, would he be a bottom or a top?

Flip-flop FTW! :devil:


Well, if he REALLY is anything like me then...

*AHEM*

So...how about them Yankees?

I think you are oversimplifing the many reasons why players might not want all the characters to be avaliable for s/s romances. For me, it is about verisimilitude. Yes, I know we are playing a game with aliens and plasma rifles and all that, but the romances in DA2 seemed completely inauthentic, as every romancable character was available to Hawke, regardless of gender. The "fakeness" of the situation was even more apparent when you played as an opposite gender Hawke and romanced the same character only to hear the same lines. 


That's a very meta-gamey argument though and it's also subjective.  I never felt this way and enjoyed my DA2 romance loads.  It didn't feel cheap or inauthentic.  I romanced Merrill, but neither Isabela's nor Anders' nor Fenris' potential romance status towards male and female Hawke's ever affect my experience of it.

Your own perception is making them 'inauthentic'.

SCM003 wrote...
In regards to verisimilitude in the ME series, in previous games certain characters were only available to femShep or maleShep. Considering this is the final game of the trilogy, they shouldn't all of a sudden make those characters bi. That just reeks of pandering to a group that may be a vocal majority on the BSN but a minority in actuality.


Adding in any romance is pandering to a vocal minority of gamers.

Also, I am not one of those people who doesn't believe s/s relationships should be in the game at all; just with characters who were not previously romancable in ME1 or 2.  And while I don't think this is possible, I also believe they should have really wonderful, well-written characters who are only gay or lesbian. That would be a much more believable world than having everyone running around bi or "Shepard-sexual" (like all of the characters were "Hawke-sexual" in DA2) and turning all of these protagonists into full-fledged Mary/Gary Sues.


Oh yes, the old, 'purely homosexual characters are more interesting/more believable then those pesky bisexuals' argument.

Also, even the hetero-romances are pretty much 'Shepard-sexual' already...they will go after Shepard regardless of anything besides...gender...that's it.  These criticisms are an issue with all romances, not just bisexual ones.

I think we should stop arguing about the inclusion or the methods and focus on the actual romances.

I want the ability to sex him up:

Badly. I don't care if he looks like an ape. I want my Shepard to have hot man-to-gorilla sex with him...


He's the leader of the bunch! You know him well. He's finally back - to kick some tail!
His coconut gun can fire in spurts; if he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt!
He's bigger, faster and stonger too - he's the first member of the DK crew! HUH! :D

PFFFFFFFFFFFT, IF ONLY!

That would be rather amazing, actually. Kaidan and Vega for the fellas, Ash and Liara for the ladies. I support this theory! <3

EDIT: Wow, you guys, no, it's not confirmed. IsaacShep was just having fun.

LMAO guys it's was a joke xD Thought you would know :lol: But I sure wouldn't be surprised by a bit if exactly these 4 were our s/s options in the game, considering what we already know

If Vega is the same-sex romance option, my gayShep is definitely going to have words with him about why it took so long for them to meet.

He's topping my Shep. 

Shep feels like obeying someone else's commands once in a while.

That picture's probably 75% untrue.

Stop teasing me with what we will most likely never be able to get, IsaacShep, besides Liara isn't an S/S option since she's technically not even female.

My money's still on only Vega and the new female lead being actually available for s/s in the finished game.

I thought I should include a link to the DK rap for both those who haven't seen it and those who already know how awesome it is.

That's been my primary theory since the begining. Well, the jury is still out on Vega, though.

This.... GAH. She's of the female sex, but defined gender roles don't exhist in asari culture. There's a difference!
