This conversation makes me feel old and too nerdy for my own good.
It's also off topic. So I'm gonna ramble to myself a bit.
I have to wonder about the chances of the rumored (was it confirmed or is it just an assumption?) new female character being a s/s LI due to Liara's presence. Bioware seems to have cut back on the silly "she's not female" claims since it was repeatedly proven to be absurd.
Well, between Liara and Kelly, queer femSheps have at least been moderately well-served (well, Liara at least, I have...
questions about Kelly as a character, but she is nevertheless an explicit opportunity for a femShep to express s/s sexuality), so it would make sense to add two new m/m options but only one f/f. But then again, what little word we've gotten from the devs seems to indicate that, in deference to fan freakouts, the s/s options will be primairly new characters. If they wanted to play it completely safe they'd go Vega, new female, Joker, and count on Liara for their second f/f option.
(I hope they won't, but they do seem to have got a bit gun-shy over the Anders thing.)
