The devs already stated that there will be NPC romances.


Maybe, but those NPC have to be on the Normandy somehow, unless it's some one-night encounter like the Consort.

What makes me think they'll be exclusive is a comment Casey made back at a Comic-con.

"We included, again as part of fan feedback, the S/S LI's".

LI's for S/S? That sounds more to me like LI's built from the ground up for S/S and not for shared romance.

Tali says that she'd link suits with female Shepard...IF she was a quarian.

Seems pretty friend zone to me.


What? I could *swear* she didn't mention quarians for my femShep. She just said "I haven't trusted anyone enough, except..." and then Shepard asked "Wait, I can't see from the mask, are you blushing?" - "N-no!" (paraphrasing).

Well, yeah. She can't exactly link enviroment suits with someone who doesn't wear one.

Okay, one more.

How would you guys react if Steve and Samantha were gay, but o/s Shepard could "turn" them straight?

Like say how Samantha rejects mShep initially, but he can still convince her into a relationship after that.

Then they're not gay.

@Collider - I see. I didn't choose the paragon option, so she didn't mention the "If you were a Quarian" part. Which, IRL would leave me quite confused.
In any case, what bleetman said.

Much as I tend not to make replies using pictures, I'm not sure I could actually put my response into words. So:

That would cheapen to their homosexuality to a gimmick.

This would remind me of the misconceptions some people hold that gays don't actually exist, they are just people who haven't found the right opposite sexed person yet.

Regarding the suitlinking thing.

Shaala says she and Tali's mother linked suits so they could be in the same clean room for Tali's birth. So Tali's comment of linking suits isn't necessarily an offer of 'hawt-lesbian-sechs' like many interpret it to be. It's merely a display of affection.

Unless of course Shaala and mother-Tali had hawt-lesbian-sechs whilst Tali was being born...

For doing that with an human, it would've been some STRONG affection.

I don't think Shaala installed nerve-stimulating mods into her suit for Tali's mother.

I feel so bad for my Shepard. Reading the files then WAM TMI to the fullest. He can never look Tali directly in the face again. D:

After reading SB's files, I think it's beyond friendship.

So... how would you all react if Cortez was the only m/m and option AND bi?


Sort of defeats the purpose of this character. If they wanted to have a bisexual character, they could have picked an existing one and write and record a few extra, gender specific lines. Then again there was Kelly... So it's a possibilty I suppose. Which means there is a worse possibility than I thought there was. Very good, I didn't think of that. As to how bad it would be... Like an extra cherry on top. Just one more thing to be upset about.

Couldn't say I would be surprised if they went this route - it's Mass Effect and the series isn't the best on same sex options and issues (including F/F).

They would have less of an excuse for say, another full feature Mass Effect game after this trilogy, though. The characters would presumably be new. Little to no worry about "changing" sexualities. And they have the experience and precedence to know that the world won't explode if the space hero can be male and gay.

Re: DA2: The one thing that I didn't like in particular was that you gained rivalry points if you didn't flirt with Anders as male Hawke (who is diplomatic & sympathizes with the mages). The only rejection line is an tactless "I don't want you thinking about me that way." I don't know if female Hawke gets into the same problem.

Human courtship behaviour.

Likely an oversight by Bioware.

Regardless if her feelings were sexual I'm sure she'd be canonically munching on your femshep's babycanon. Alas, she is not.

Easily avoided by picking the snarky options or the broken heart at the beginning of the conversation.

FemHawke does have the same problem I believe.

And frankly the "new character excuse." goes for Vega as well. <_<

No, the suitlinking "offer" itself isn't why it seemed like something more than friendship, it was the overall awkwardness of the situation which reminded me of a schoolgirl with a crush.

So is the peaceful Geth killing anyone that goes into their territory, yet we still must count that as canon, don't we?
