How about Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani[/b]?

That would make for an... interesting relationship.  Especially after socking her throughout two games.

Violence against women? In my video games? It's more likely than you think.

Imagine when the game comes out...so much drama...


I'm trying not to think about it... 

There was enough faux-outrage about Anders on the DA2 forums (and the famous 'Straight Male Gamer' thread), and that game wasn't even marketed at adolescent males.

S/S crowd: we drink rage at the same rate Gaider drink tears.

Myself, I'll just enjoy the game and turn my IDGAF button on.

Just recording the obligatory 'troll anti-s/s thread mentions Garrus in the first post again'.

Someday I'd love to read a thread that didn't mention Garrus in the first few posts.

Just once!

Do you think that they should have an option to enable/disable same sex relationships before playing the game? They let you skip the controversial subjects in Modern Warfare 2, could it be possible for ME3 to do the same?

I don't want to be tempted for my manshep to get jiggy with ol' brittle bones.


I am a girl who is bi and if bioware does that then I am done with them not that they will plus you can just imagine the crap storm that would open up

I really dont get the whole fuss about it I mean you dont have to play that storyline and I bet most of the guys who are moaning will be playing the fem shep ss romance


I am really stuck up with the idea that BW will make the "as long as you dont interact with the characters in a certain way,they won't bite"..and it's a really good idea even if BW decides to make them all bi. However here I see the problem of costing more dialog options,because it would be stupid for the player to have only two options/to trigger or not the romance,which means that even if you interact with the character,no matter what,he/she will "come out of the closet" eventually / Simply there has to be more dialog options in this direction,if they want to go all DA2.

Also it would be very STUPID to have an option to enable/disable the s/s romances.If there's such an option in life lol be my guest,but I think it would be more interesting for a player to be more close to "real life situations",rather than simply "turn off the button"...


I dont think you will have them come out of hte closet if you dont want them as romance options just I think I read that bioware were changing the way you talk with squadmates so its not like me2 where you could not help but get to the point where they hit on you


Even if you dont want them as romance options,you will probably talk with them.And as you've seen in ME2 there isn't the option of friendship exactly...it's like"If you want to get to know me,you simply have to date me.." And that's what I am saying,even if the characters hit on you first in ME3,there has to be an option not only to turn down the romance,but also to maintain friendship of some kind.


as I said the way me2 handle conversations I am sure bioware said they would fix that so you would not have the the whole squadmates on heat you had in me2

^this.

S/S troll thread drinking game. Take a sip every time:

-Garrus is immediately mentioned
-Someone tries to say Liara/Femshep isn't s/s because Asari only have one gender (or something similar)
-Someone prefaces a post with "I'm not homophobic..." followed by later posts rife with homophobic comments
-Anyone with well-worded reasonable comments is ignored completely

Start chugging when they start posting pony macros.

Also take a sip every time:

- ReconTeam shows up to point out that romances are NOT important. In every single romance related thread.

- Someone talks about "waste of resources."

...and if you're fearless enough to get s***faced:

- Every time the word "retcon" is used in one way or another.

I really hope Garrus is a s/s option now. Just for the epic butthurt.

Good job Ryzaki! I know I would be epicly butthurt if that was the case ;) but in all kidding aside... I thought someone said that they did do the toggle thingy? or was I just stoned out of my mind when I read something that dealt with S/S stuff ...

1. Garrus should be LI
2. Femshep and Liara aren't lesbian, only 1 gender for Asari
3. I'm not homophobic, but I hate all queers and I hope they rot
4. Nobody has posted a decent post yet

--------------------

Okay, to tally it up. I mentioned Garrus, Femshep/Liara, said "I'm not homophobic but...", and disregarded intelligent posts. Take 4 sips.

7. ZOMG retcon their gonna turn everyone bi and ruin my playthrough

On principle, I'd like Garrus to be available for some s/s lovin'. Well, actually because I'd like my GF to finally shut up about fully exploring his character.

What I worry about is that the "Garrus" romance standard may be the standard for all future LIs because a timid Bioware/EA may decide to remove all preemptive flirts entirely because anti-s/s whiners and their epic butt-hurt after Anders. Granted, I'd love it if I didn't have to beat off potential LIs with a stick (Liara and Leliana, I'm looking at YOU two), but the Garrus scene with female Shepard of "Gee, I never really thought about playing naked twister with you before, but since you want to, let's get that magic Mordin cross-species sex lotion!" gets on my nerves the more I think about it.

It's a shame, really. Anders was done nearly perfectly. He's an obsessive mentally unstable emotionally desperate basketcase, who latches on to you in a moment of turmoil. You act unreasonably nice to him and he dares a bit of a flirt. It's 100% in character and pretty awesome. Then you get the option to shut him down. If you do, he gets understandably pouty about it -- again, moment of turmoil, plus you're being inconsistent and giving him whiplash and nobody likes that -- but help some mages where he can see and he gets over it. Either way he never tries his luck with you again.

The only thing that dialog needed was a way to gracefully and politely turn Anders down instead of being kind of a jerk about it. The only thing. It did not need to not exist. It needed very much to exist and I would like to see more conversations like it in the future.

Additionally, I cannot help but notice that no one complains that after killing Hayder, Isabela a) will always straight up proposition you, no matter what you say or do leading up to it, B) offers no dialog wheel with which to shut her down or tell her off, and in fact c) has a built-in animation that forces Hawke to look interested. Isabela will always flirt and Hawke will always smirk.

So it's okay to scream bloody blue murder when a boy flirts with you once and you have every option to turn it down or avoid it completely. But Isabela's unavoidable overtures/Shiala's handsy pawing/Liara's viciously relentless fixation on a woman she's barely met, that's totally great. The hypocrisy is blinding, and I hate that people at BioWare have talked like they're thinking about bowing to it.

I know I am a straight guy, but Garrus has been the only character in video games I would risk a sore butt for.
