Well it's an MMO...if you want to role play a gay character just run around and hit on any other player with a same-sex name and/or find a buddy who want to rp a s/s relationship. ^_^

I really hate my TOR companion... she won't leave me alone. I see a flirt option and I'm like "hell no."


LOL, that's the experience any real life female has when she rolls a female avatar in a MMO and speaks on teamspeak or ventrilo.  Unsolicited flirt options out the wazoo.

I occasionally /slap her, but I think she likes that.

Plus we have no idea what Lucas' limitations imposed on EA and Bioware may have been.

Even disregarding LucasArts' past acceptance for gay content in Star Wars (gay Mandos, lesbian Juhani etc), doesn't look like there were any limitations imposed on EA/BW click (read post by Darth_Eclipses) seems fully legit, especially considering it's posted on the official boards where Daniel Erickson moderates. LA is OK with gay romances, so is EA (The Simes, DA, ME3), so is BioWare. Yet there won't be gay romances and 'time constraints' reason get cited again.

I have the feeling that a romance with a Bioware character is more interesting than a romance with some random guy that says things like "heal plz".

EDIT:

Not calling Bioware liars, but I have a hard time swallowing the "time restraint" excuse. The moment a Bioware game is anounced is the moment there is a giant demand for S/S romance. In the DA II forums pre-release the idea of not having S/S romance in DA II was the silliest thing in the world. Unless the devs weren't paying attention they would have "noticed the player demand" way before they reached a "time restraint" situation.

That said, maybe I'm just being to harsh. Eh, whatever.

It's an MMO. There's no such thing.

Well, unless they're content to launch then sit back and just let the money roll in rather than doing the whole 'continual development to justfiy the subscription fee' thing, that is. Hmm.

This.

And besides, how much time does it take to record 3-5 lines of extra dialog?  Anyone who used the Dragon Age Tools knows it takes only a few minutes to adjust the animations.

They're just being cowardly. It happens. Personally, I've got my lesbian Bastila mod, they can do whatever they want with an MMO I wasn't going to play anyway. Still, poor form.

Are we still voting on who we think will be s/s in ME3, by the way? I'd like to put some internet money on Joker. The Gamescom chat mentioned that "romances with non-squadmates" thing again, and I can't imagine who that could possibly be apart from Joker - BioWare just aren't the type to do, like, a quickie with Gianna Parisini, that's just never been their style, the closest they get is what they did with Kelly, and that's what Joker is - and I can't imagine they'd give the ladies Joker and not the men, given the resource investment in creating any new o/s only relationships in addition to new s/s ones.

I suppose that means I should try to roll another dudeShep who'd actually be interested...

How much time and resources would it actually take to make a gay romance on top of a straight one?

There are people like ReconTeam who act like they're being cheated out of an entire level in the game.

I thought that was just a line to mollify people calling for a Joker romance... As in "yeah, it might happen. play the game to find out."

They're being extraordinarily coy in those Q&A sessions.

I assume that if we do have a Jokermance, it'll be like Kelly's. That doesn't mean it can't be well-made. A short, but tasteful romance is as good as any "real" romance. In my opinion.

I just imagined Joker doing the strip dance in Shepard's quarters.  That should be GOOD.

Man, all the LIs should feed your fish. Liara, at the very least, she's got a tank in her apartment after all, she knows how it goes. (She's even got jellyfish. My fish envy, let me show you it.)

Auto fish feeders were never invented in the Mass Effect Universe.   If LIs aren't cleaning the ship, they should at least feed the fish.

Haha no, EDI should be. I mean think about it. She can do practically everything else to maintain the Normandy but she can't be an auto-feeder? I mean really? XD

EDI has no arms, nothing to scoop fishfood into the tank with.

I hate the fact that in 1 mission alone, all of your fish can die - take for instance Overlord.  If you play Overlord, all of your fish are dead - and you were not negligent as a player.  I think that its just the devs flipping us off. 

All  I wanted was a tank with stuff like Liarra has - jellyfish, and all of that, and a darn auto feeder.
Its not like I wanted sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads......

Haha you don't need arms. Auto dispensers work just fine.

We probably even have the technology for auto dispensers now. I don't see any reason there wouldn't be in the age of FTL travel, holographic keyboards, omni gel, and regenerating shields.

Edit:
We do have the technology for auto dispensers. We used them for fries at McDonalds. They would drop the perfect amount of fries into the basket when you placed the basket on it. The only difference is that the one for feeding fish would be activated by time intervals.

Well, I'm siding with the Reapers if they can get me a freaking auto-feeder.

I am tired of some develoiper telling me I am a bad fish caretaker because I go on missions. The fact is - if I feed them little buggers every so often they should be fine.

If they are going to go through all the work to put a fish tank in the game, why make it so my fish die when its not even my fault?

I don't go to my stateroom very often as it is, but I like to look at my model collection and my fish. I'm surprised they don;t have my models melt or something - every other mission as well.

Haha no what was funny was that the fish would die if you didn't feed them often enough but that bloody space hamster can go the whole game without being fed. That's one amazing animal if you ask me lol. Or maybe EDI does do an auto feeder for the hamster but not for the fish... Didn't think an AI could have ichthyophobia, but whatever works I guess haha.

On topic:
The same sex LIs should feed fish too as well as the o/s ones. The least they could do for landing a catch like Shep.

LOL just noticed the pun. It totally wasn't intended.

Why the tank lacks a food dispenser? Is it not obvious? Let me put it this way:

The Normandy never docks for supplies.
Minor systems are maintained by the Janitor.
The Janitor is also the Cook.
The Janitor-Cook serves 'mystery meals'.

Also, Rupert the Janitor-Cook should be available for a minor s/s romance. There, now this post is relevant to the topic.
