That's kind of sad really... How can a newscast be so backwards?

It doesn't matter. Scandal = ratings. Video Games are still new entertainment form thus not everyone knows them (esp older people) thus it's easy to sell BS since alot of the viewers won't verify it themselves.

I poke fun at my grandparents when they tell me outlandish Democrat-bashing news stories. I respond, "Have you been watching Fox News, again?"

anyway, back on topic.

I hope Ash becomes a s/s option. I've got a femshep knocking around in my head for her. :D

Yep! "Virtual orgasmic rape simulators" gets more attention than "so, there's this game with a sex scene in it. It's pretty mild and very short".

She will be. Her armor proves it.

It is fox news... do you really need to ask?

On a side note, why is sex looked down so devilishly but violance is all right? I mean the supreme court ruled it legal to sell anything violent wise to any age group (within reason) without restrictions, but it would need to be restricted non stop if there was say... a nipslip

watch the jon stewart thing about it... http://www.thedailys...11/moral-kombat really funny, and shows a good point about America's culture about videogames and sex...Personally I think Violance should be limited and sex should be more... open? if that makes sens

Liara and Ashely will both be S/S for women.

Kaidan and James will both be the S/S for men.


Agree or disagree?

It does but then again I'm a continental European and unlike the US Supreme Court our judicial systems generelly tend to crack down harder on violent compared to sexual content, except for perfidious Albion of course, but then again the English always love to be contrarians living in their crazy topsy turvy land like they do.

My guess is that Kaidan and Joker will be available for s/s. Liara already is and Ashley will probably be as well, though I won't be stunned if she isn't. I GUESSING that Kelly may actually be expanded a bit (no sick jokes intended). With everyone else I have no feeling on Bioware's plan either way. I wouldn't mind if all the LIs were bi, I'm just giving my suspicions on what Bioware will do.

Of course. Didn't you learn anything in the past few days from various anti s/s threads? The Straight Male Gamer (not to confuse with intelligent straight male gamers) who owns the ME franchise likes his lesbians hawt and his gays dead. Hence:

The confirmation which squadmates are s/s options in ME3 was right there from the beginning in the CE Alternate Appearance shot. We just didn't look at it through the eyes of  The Straight Male Gamer.

It just
occurred to me that if Fox News were to complain about video game sex
scenes, how did they not complain about Heavy Rain. That one had way
more boob shots had a bloody quicktime event to open a bra. Same with
God of War 3 - quicktime events to please Aphrodite. And that one had
full boob nudity.


Because boobs are good and
wholesome now, also I think some people at Fox News are still too busy
playing their version of ME2, you know the one with the interactive
body type and sodomy simulator included, to be commenting all that much
about anything else.
Besides the way I understand the higher tiers
of the US rating and censorship system to work is if the amount of
violence > the amount of heterosexual sex then it's good and
wholesome fun for the whole family, unless there's even the slightest
hint of gay sex or even a non stereotypical portrayal of anything gay
in which case its obviously an evil thing spawned by satanists designed
to mind rape young defenseless children and make their heads explode or
worse turn young boys queer.

Disagree, I don't think the ME team has it in them to implement more than one m/m option.

I haven't because I honestly have not browsed away from this thread for like... a month. I can't take the irrational hate these forums have become over something so small in the larger aspect of gameplay.

This is how the romances will work out I think.

Agree except Ashley. If they *really* don't consider Liara an f/f option then Ashley will be one. If they do, then I think just new female squadmate (whoever she will be) for girls.

Does Fox News possibly have any connection to the Tea Party by any chance? XD

It's still uber-heavy for ME standards haha. Being gay he will need extra protection against The Straight Male Gamer who's been threathening to shot him at the first occasion possible.

I want James Vega to sound EXACTLY like Doctor Orpheus.

Just saying.

That or Henchman 21, just randomness  though.

I hope he won't be a Kaidan m/m content stealer (which I do fear) in which case I won't be all that happy with him either, though outright shooting him is taking it a bit far methinks unless he's also programmed to ask really dumb questions and then only if we aren't given an option to somehow skip them or cut them short (possibly because Mr. Hudson seems to believe even veteran players are to senile to remember what we did in the past (two) game(s) ).
