Also, that LotSB dossier, holy crap.

I felt a little sad when I came across that, as if she'd nervously installed a stim pack, re-considered, installed it again then dejectedly un-installed after my femshep hadn't picked up on her awkward advances.

@abispa: Yes and no. I mean, don't forget Morinth. If that were just about focus, you could hang back and wait out the fight, see who won, and rest assured that you were leaving the building with the stronger biotic, and of course with the other woman dead you can be sure she's got no distractions. But Morinth doesn't seem terribly likely to follow you in that case, and I can't imagine Samara would be too impressed by your failure to pick a side either. And a lot of the mission summaries refer to loyalty rather than focus (though others refer to focus and distractions rather than loyalty). The way the team responds to a successful mission tends to vary in its implications as to what exactly you've changed for them, as well.

I think it ended up being kind of a paragon/renegade thing, actually. Some people on the team were coming at it from the understanding of "this is about focus and resolving distractions" and some people were coming at it from the understanding of "it's called loyalty, the meaning's fairly obvious" so you get some conflicting writing.

@bleetman: I've never been able to react to it from an honest, in-character roleplay perspective. I'm completely convinced it was a bug and there's actually a non-romanced version in there, or possibly (like Thane's letter) it's just not supposed to show up at all for an unromanced Shep, and I'm always a little too distracted by wondering what got accidentally cut that I should be reading instead, or remembering how loltastic some of the Talimancers got when it first came out trying to argue how it makes TOTAL PLATONIC SENSE TOTALLY THEY SWEAR and their precious quarian can't possibly be gay loleew, or similarly distracting meta-type thoughts.

I suppose that's possible, or they figured "eh, less than 20% of players have a female character anyway". I'd like to think they decided on the whole s/s thing a good long while ago and snuck that in as a little bit of foreshadowing, but I guess that's unlikely.

sorry about this question, it must be around this topic somewhere, but how can you be able to get some man on man or female on female action in mass effect 1 on my xbox360
coz there are of course videos on youtube, but i want to see it in HD and play it over and over again
I tried to search online for the save file editor, but can't seem to find one for 360

No teasing what did he say!!!!

Probably nothing we haven't already heard but I must know! 

[KawaiiKatie]

Pfffft, yeah, it was NOTHING. I didn't mean to tease. All he said was something along the lines of...

"Is there anything new to announce with romances? Well, you know, fan-feedback is really important to us and we're trying to be more inclusive this time around, so one of the things we're doing is including same-sex romances."

...not word-for-word, but I cheered for the reiteration of inclusiveness. The audience was inaudible.

I think he said you had to be either a male or female character to have a s/s romance. Also, they've decided to implement the infamous toggle that deactivates anything gay, but the result is that every character in the game is the same gender as Shepard.

[KawaiiKatie]

Oh, you. Quit trollin'.

[bleetman]

I have to wonder what the purpose of Q&A sessions are when the answers are never actually answers.

Uh, what happens to the asari?

And if there are still women in ME3 krumping in the bars (while the guys just sort of shuffle around), will they still be busting loose when they turn into guys?

Let's be happy about such reaction. When he said the 'same-sex' words I was ready to hear booos in the audience

Oh, you silly goose. Everyone knows that Asari aren't really female.

Did Liara's voice actress just confirmed no romance with Liara in ME3 (and other characters) if you didn't already romance her (them) in ME1/ME2?

You know you have progress when the reaction is "...And?"  No outrage, no boos, no "Ew gays!" Just beautiful apathy. <3

Wait wait wait... so Garrus - S/S now that there is a toggle?

??? Is there another livestream I'm missing?

I mean that would kind of make sense... If you were going to romance Liara you would have already (or you'd pick it in the comic if you haven't played the previous ones)
But then it also makes s/s Kaidan sound less likely. I didn't hear what she actually said though so I'm just rambling.

(@ Quething, as long as Apollo and Midnighter are still gay in the new Stormwatch then DC is fine in my book... Although I'm still not sure how I feel about Constantine and Shade being full time members of the main DCU...)

Wait wut?  I thought she just meant for the unfaithful (which is probably a joke anyway).

Ah. So really, toggling off the gay is actually just there to make it even more likely that you'll romance Liara. ;-)

Wait there's an interview with Ali Hillis floating around that I haven't seen? WHERE!?

Where have I heard this before...?

[Inner monologue: You heard it from yourself, ******] 

[Maugrim]

So uh since we are talking about Liara here I'll just drop that I'll be doing an email interview with Ali Hillis. She seems pretty cool about s/s stuff per this video so feel free to PM questions that you might want asked of her!

And I'm pretty sure she was joking about the romance thing!
