I'm against same sex relationships ingame if a toggle to turn off same sex relationships isn't implemented.


A toggle can be seen as offensive and BW already said it isn't happening. Therefore romance dialouge to only be initiated by Shep is a second option with little room for people to take offense.

Why is a toggle offensive ?  And to who ?  As it is Males and females get a toggle.  If BW doesn't implement a toggle that fine, I won't buy it.


Nice knowing you. Do not worry though. I am sure you will be able to see the important videos on YouTube.

I'm convince BW won't release the game without a toggle of some sort so until the game is release and I know for sure, I'll still be around the forums.  I have however cancelled my preorder.  Thank you.


how can you be convinced there will be a toggle when none of biowares other games have had a toggle for such things? looks like you wont be getting the game to me

LOL. Good riddance. 

Notice how you didn't answer the question.  Your Petty.


*you're.
Now it's petty.

Seriously, a sexuality toggle for all the NPCs in the game is offensive. It'd be up there with a toggle for ethnicity because someone might night want blacks/asians/hispanics in their in-game universe.

Not to mention that would be yet another variable to program in checks for. It's not like you just type in a single line of code. It has to check for a variable every time dialogue comes up. That's what leads to the bugs that caused Lelianna's ninjamancing and Zevran's missing dialogue.

Pfff, don't call him queer. Such limited views of sexuality would be insulting for the man. He's...he's....is there even a word for what he is? Omnisexual? That a real word?

Oh, God, this.

It was all I could do to play a terrorist all the way to the end. The only thing I wanted to do when the SR2 was turned over was to fly straight to Alliance space, give them the keys, and have all the terrorists on board detained.

"Pansexual" seems to be the new buzzword. How that differs from bisexuality I have yet to find an adiquate answer for.

And? You think such a petty thing as bugs is more important than whinewhinewhinewhine's ability to stop the pixels hitting on the pixles he controls and thus make him more secure about his sexuality? This is outrageous!

Ah, thank you, wasn't sure if that term really was...well, was an actually used term.

And didn't know he was married. Not that much of a Torchwood fan...haven't even seen all that much of it (or Dr. Who for that matter...I prefer Primeval for reasons of dinosaurs)

Bisexuality is in terms of Male or Female, Pansexuality is in terms of, you love everyone and everything, Male, Female, Transgendered, and other types of people for their personality. if that makes sense.

Then, if you spend the whole game badmouthing Cerberus, you get Paragon points... I'm begining to worry that my current Shep isnt going to have enough points in either direction to solve the loyalty confrontations.

It's not offensive, it's stupid.

Pandering to irrational discomfort and disgust over optional content just encourages such demands and fears. That's not progress and it's certainly doing anyone any favors. It's sheltering people who need to learn not to be so sensitive over an optional romance.

Thank you for providing me with a answer of some sort. But I have to question "progress" in a video game ?  It's entertainment and just because same sex options were added to the game doesn't mean it should change what I've become accustom to playing. 

I'm not sensitive your assuming you know what I think or how I feel, you'd be wrong.  I simply want to understand why a option to to turn it on or off is "such a no no" to the community that desires the optional content.  They want it I'm fine with that but I do not, why expose me or others ?  Unless every dialog option is specifically labeled "Romantic" exploration of responses will undoubtly uncover the optional content.  So now I can't see every response a teammate might have or all of their dialog as I may trigger optional content I am uninterested in.  And some dialog options will have been replaced with the hopefully static Romantic tag where as in the past it would have been a Paragon, renegade or neutral response.

I find it highly hypocritical that those who desire the optional content wanted it and got it but now are against making it optional.

I'll just chalk it up to perception. To me, Bisexuality inherantly implied you'd be with someone, regardless of gender/sex.

I really feel the urge a thread to just outright ask Bioware to list us the LI's when they develop them, after reading some very entertaining threads. Eight months of mudslinging ins't worth it.

But dude. It IS optional! Don't select "I want you." My God...all romances are optional. It's silly and redudant to have toggle that already exists in-game.

Sorry to say and I'm saying this in the most polite way capable in text, but you're wrong. You just described pansexuality, bisexualilty is when you're attracted to both sexes. Not necessarily in the same way, fashion, or intensity, but it's still about biological attraction.

To rational people?

And because you can't toggle women in your game. You can't toggle non-white races. What makes you think you should be able to toggle gays and lesbians?

If you don't want to experience certain content, you need to use your own internal toggle and choose not to pursue that content. If the mere existence of that content causes problems for you, then you may have some larger issues going on; a toggle in a game isn't going to resolve those, unfortunately.

Unfortunately for you your wrong, I assure you.  To be clear I think something is wrong with all of you who desire optional content(which is fine) but feel offended that it's optional. 

This is not about toggling gays and lesbians if a character is openly whatever that's fine.   What the toggle is asking for is a reformat of characters who were straight that are being requested as LI for S-S relationships to be turned off and on as to preserve the original story.  BTW toggle women ? toggle non whites ?  I think your the one with issues.

The reason why a toggle is offensive to some people (I am personally fine with it) is because that if you toggle peoples sexuality that is like saying that "I can't deal with you being gay so I don't want to work with you" If a character is gay, that doesn't mean you have to romance them, it is just that they prefer males orver females...It is always an option to have a gay romance, its just a character in a game... it is always an option whether or not you romance them or not. If that helps, the answer I read when it explained it delt with Segragation, which in part does make sense

We're not saying don't make them optional. We're saying make them optional in a way that won't cause any offense.
