Back on topic.

I feel bad for s/s Tali fans since she would have been the easiest to work around the "retcon" charge.

Yeah, that should work.

:whistle:

@Solid: Replaced it with something that works, surely though if you're going to quote Gwen in here while talking about gender stereotypes, No Doubt's Just a Girl would be better.


'Cause I'm just a girl I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes

But

You really love me, underneath it all?

Now be mesmerized by the Kitten and check Youtube for Surpised Kitten because the sound it makes with it is classic.

Bioware should have given Shepard the paragon option to do that to Wrex.

If you're killing off so many M/F characters and importing that save, you're seriously asking for no options.


Sure, but there still should be a new one, if Male Shep gets 2 new ones.


Not even that, it'd just be... bizarre if there weren't new LIs. Especially after they even gave femShep a tiny marketing opportunity. 

So... Coates? The XO, if he's still in the game?

Random Citadel NPCs? Kenneth? 


I was the one that sent him that tweet and it is odd to say the least if Femshep that killed off Kaidan has no options to romance men in ME3. I hope his tweet was genuine and he answered my tweet directly but It doesn't look like it right now. I will call him out on it after we find out though next week. Since you probably can't even start a new romance with Garrus in ME3 how about new players that start playing in ME3 there only option is to keep Kaidan alive or tough luck?

I like Kaidan but doesn't mean I want to romance the guy every single time I play as femshep. Jacob fans get screwed over, so that leaves me with Kaidan, Garrus and thane for a brief time? Something seems off to me.

It seems odd but I didn't see anything else for femshep from what I saw, I hope she gets someone as a new male LI and I'd be okay with anyone at this point. In any rate if a straight femshep wasn't going to get any new options they should of told us ahead of time.

Vega really isn't a romance option. All he does is flirt with Shepard and that is it, they even took out the measly lines at the end where Vega says Shepard means a lot to him. He is a shamless flirt option but that is hardly fair when you compare it to Allers whom a straight male shep can sleep with while in a relationship with anyone or otherwise. ( I checked the new tlk. its still possible).

/rant.

Sorry I am kinda frustrated about this. Though I'd be okay if Coats magically turned out to be a LI considering I was the first one to know about him. ;P

I think people are misunderstanding. Kaidan isn't doing something like a Meryl from Metal Gear. At least not as far as I can tell. It's more of Kaidan moving and reacting the exact same way Ash is. Which seems wrong, because they should be more different, and clearly it's more written and acted with Ash in mind. Like Horizon.

If you want to compare it yourself, I don't think I can post a link, but just go to youtube, type Mass Effect, change the upload date to today, and find a walkthrough with the user name Ninja Assassin.

If you think nothing is wrong, that's your choice.


Searching and nothing like that is coming up. You sure that's the username? I only found one playthrough that had Ashley in it, and incidentally, she sits with her legs open like femShep (or manShep? ...Or Kaidan).


Ninja'd :ph34r: 
But personally, I don't really see him being all that feminine... :?



Spoilers:

It's more of how he's reacting to Shepard when he's questioning his involvement with Cerberus. He doesn't have a stand off with Shepard, or simply question him. He goes off to the side, and is concerned. He won't even look him in the eye. And questioning him pains him, and needs Shepard to give him a clear answer. It seems more like a scene written for a female character, and not a male character. Especially not a character like Kaidan, who I don't think would be that emotional about it.

But that's just my opinion. e

I sympathize. Maybe Bioware believes they are catering to the ladies since several straight ladies have announced on this thread that they like to play gay male characters.

Now why are there so many "straight" male and lesbian options again?

This whole time I thought you were talking about animations. None of that seemed off for me, frankly, Shep's awkward side-leaning on the fence seemed more "feminine" than all of that put together. And even that didn't seem feminine at all. Also, sensitivity / feeling hurt over something =/= femininity.

I just don't see someone like Kaidan acting like that with Shepard. Ash maybe, but not Kaidan.

But he's doing that "because" Ash does that as well.

Yeah, I liked Cool. But most of her solo stuff I just love because it's so hilariously bad it's amazing. Wind it up in particular.


I've heard things that are so bad Gwen's solo stuff isn't anywhere near the "hilariously bad" category for me. That said, I find Wind It Up very irritating.
@Abispa - bring it on. :devil:
@Ric - I see it now. But why does it always have to be kittens? Why can't it be birds?

I'd feel that was more out of character for Ash, if anyone. Kaidan never struck me as particularly stoic or overtly 'masculine' going by the usual perception of masc/fem.

I thought that title belonged to 300. Or was it just my knowledge of history that made it look that way.

No, Kaidan never should himself to be Emotional and thoughtful on his own... Someone who holds back his strength and changes his opinion on all other species in the galaxy after an accident/moment of weakness is clearly a cold unfeeling git.

Because the majority of gamers are straight males. And they love lesbians more than gays.

I don't think so. Kaidan was always the type that held back, and tried to be more professional. Especially with Male Shep. Femshep even makes a point that he's always holding back.

Maybe. I have and don't mind playing s/s leads or romancing them I just have always preferred playing FemShep over MaleShep considering making good looking malesheps is really hard compared to femshep imo. :P

Honestly they couldn't of told us ahead of time if a femshep that killed off Kaidan would only have female options? Would of made me less frustrated to say the least. :(
