It is what it is... I'll go back to pining for Kaidan.

Sadly yeah Kaidan is to me at least attractive. Annoying personality to me or no.

@C: He could be ugly and generic.

Could be either. Looking at this realistically, it's more likely to be either an attempt at progression or neither of them. I really doubt that Bioware would purposefully make a gay love interest average or ugly to spite the fans.

I don't believe so either, but the post I was replying to simply said they wished for more realistic representations.

My only point is that the sole realistic model in a world full of unrealistic models wouldn't seem to me so much like doing the targeted audience a favor as it would purposely keeping the audience separate. How is it any different than giving him a lisp or a "limp wrist" or whatever offensive stereotype you can think of? It's just further drawing attention to the fact that he's "different", by making him literally different physically than any other character model in the game. To me, that's not progress. It's to make sure everybody knows who the gay guy is, and to let them know that it's OK to dismiss him (you don't have to like the gay guy, because he's fat and ugly, and nobody likes that).


As for the specific situation in ME3, I don't look at the images and don't know any of the characters or other speculations or confirmed features, so it's very much an argument about the principle, not about anything I think or know will happen in this game. (I'm not trying to say it's something they are or aren't doing for ME3, or even that they ever would, which I don't believe at all.)

Did I miss a pic or something? The only picture I've seen was so unclear because of the contrast that it was impossible to actually see any details except the hair, which, incidentally, I liked

[Finis Valorum]

If everyone else has their pick of supermodels in this game, well I want one too. Also I generally prefer cute guys, so if he must have a different body model than every other male I'd prefer slim to husky.

Furthermore I fail to see how the fact that most people in real life, including yours truly, are not quite supermodels is in any way relevant to this game.

Screw realism, this is a science fantasy videogame, where I just wanna be able to save the universe and capture and possibly break the hearts of a lot of cute guys along the way.
Shep is a supermodel soldier who saves or screws (up) the universe so it's only logical he'd be able to get the really hot guys too.

Good point, then.

Looking too sexy on these new screens.  Dammit.

[shepskisaac]

If Shep doesn't romance them, can these two get together BioWare? Kthxbai!

Way too sexy.

Why they change you Steve? WHY?!? 

[Collider]

Wonder how long it'll take to get those TLK files.

[SolidBeast]

I feel like I need a cold shower. And it's -9°C in my room.

[Finis Valorum]

Wow, just wow, even Vega's face (and yes his body is still a turn off for me) looks much better there then I thought it would, based on his armour preview screens/renders some time ago.
Figures then that they'd make the only plain or at least non custom guy on the team the gay Li.

I wants Kaidan so badly now but I just know he'll be straight only.

Also Patrick Stewart has always been hot (and bald) even in his thirties, so I'd have no problems at all if Bioware did decide to use Patrick Stewart in his thirties as Steve's face model.

My Shepard would die of immense swooning if they did.  So much hotness, so little time...

I preferred the original look for Cortez. I'm not thrilled about the new one...

I still like how everyone's judging his look based on a couple of really, really bad cell phone pictures...

[Ryzaki]

Eh I can see his hair and that's enough for me.

Heck I find Sheploo pretty bleh looking due to his hair.

This. You can barely see the face. Let's wait, HQ screens and videos will definitely get uploaded in the next few hours :happy:

[Sanguinerin]

Well, when I see hi-res shots from good angles I'll certainly look at him from those instead of the bad ones.

Edit: I think that sounds more rude/snappy than I meant it to be. Apologies if so.

That new image now seems to be all there is to go by and since I haven't liked any of the BioWare M/M love interests yet, I was really putting a lot on liking Cortez. I'm not going to count him out just because I don't like his appearance though.

You killed me. I NEED S/S KAIDAN NOW!!!

[Volc19]

I just saw Cortez's face and... Ehhhhh. Why can't the just make him adorable? Is that so difficult? It's like trying to romance Zaeed after he got a Krogan skin graft. Now I need to cancel my plans to off Kaidan in a hilarious manner and romance him. Bioware, why you so cruel to us?

what if Steve looks like Patrick Steward? (who is bald) would that be a bad thing? O_O

Looking like Patrick Stewart is never a bad thing.

Avery Brooks is sexier than Patrick Steward. Picard and Sisko may both be bald but Sisko chose his baldness. Taking the initiative is sexy.

@Volc19 Are you saying that after actually seeing a clear picture of him, or after seeing the pics that have been posted on this thread so far?

[Volc19]

Well, posted here. But there is very little wiggle room with even those vauge glimpses. He looks like a stereotypical gay biker. All he needs now are some round sunglasses and assless chaps... Unless a clearer picture of him has been released, and I can lay to rest my fears of romancing someone with the sex appeal of a truck tire.

I don't know how you mean... the picture is blurry, you can't make out any facial features (not to mention HORRIBLE lighting), and basically the only things we can tell is that he's got a short hair cut, and his skin is medium/light in tone.

That's literally it.

He does look a bit like that, but mostly because he kind of looks like he has a moustache, which is apparently a trick of the shadows. Let's wait until we see what he actually looks like before we start hurling accusations at Bioware.
