@dirae

That's a great looking shep!

Hah! thanks! I'm loving all the blue eyed Sheps in demo screencaps. Maybe its the new uniforms and the future-Vancouver setting, but they really pop.

Exactly. Btw, I think it's equally idiotic when ANYONE has to say "I'm gay" not because I don't wanna hear it. But because it's almost a ritual people expect of gay people so we can decide how we think of them and where to put them in our headspace.
Straight people don't say "I'm straight"  (unless they're confused).

Well said. Same goes for saying "I'm bisexual".

true dat. Having to tell people they have a peanut allergy is something I can understand. As for me, I'm lactose-intolerant and proud!

Seriously, that stuff is poison.

Chris Priestly is trolling the main forum, telling people NOT to import their saves... I call bs, import system probably doesn't work or something and they're trying to cover it up

Plus when you don't tell someone you don't like nuts you get food made with nuts and if you're a pig like me and it's covered in chocolate you don't realize it until it's too late. <_< Then you're stuck heaving with a dry throat for the next 6 hours.

Stupid nut chocolate cake. Why ruin perfectly good cake with nuts? Just...why?

wha--? Say it ain't so!

I back up my me1 and me2 saves in zip anyway. But still.

[darksoulenigma]

Woah, I'm so confused about this facebook/multiplayer thingy?

Recruit people? how do they know? How do I recruit? is it just automatic, like if I send them the link and they apply...if they are on my list it will update?

[txmn1016]

Does anyone know where I can find the ME1 script? I'm curious about a few Kaidan lines that I've apparently been missing.

[Queen Deadite]

Not import into demo or new game?

It'll be 3 years for us on Halloween and 7 years as a couple in May. My dad has grandpa gear it makes me feel selfish for not trying to get preggers.

You're setting a different parameter than I am here.  I'm thinking of a theoretical situation where an NPC who only previously romanced a PC of the same gender was later opened up to the opposite gender.  It's not a question of openly saying "I'm X/Y/Z," just a question of what they'd been known to do up to that point.  But, really, we have a way to go before we'd ever get to that situation, as I already pointed out!  We haven't had an exclusively gay romance in a Bioware game yet.  (I gather one is happening with a new character in ME3, but that's not really on-topic for the Kaidan thread.)  Anyway, my point was that if that happened I'd imagine S/S romance fans upset about "converting" a gay character, maybe saying "you [i.e. opposite sex romance fans] already have lots of romances, can't you just leave this one character to us?"  But, again, as I said before, there is no such ME character, so it's only an imagined metaphor...

IsaacShep wrote...

You have a point, however, if this series had 5 or so gay guys to romance for male Shep, and not a single girl to romance for straight man Shep players, I would have zero problems sharing one of them, even if it wasn't until part 3 that one of these guys is revealed to be bi. Furthermore, as much as I may have not liked it, if none of these 'gay' guys was clearly established as NOT liking women at all, I wouldn't really have an argument to complain. If something isn't told, it doesn't mean it's not there. Writing (in everything, movies, books, comics, games) depends constantly on new information beign provided, old info being viewed in new light. 

That seems like a fairly good parallel and I appreciate the generosity inherent in the answer and the attitude.  Thanks!  It helps me feel a bit better.  
For the record, I don't have any issues with S/S romance as such.  I chose Fenris in DA2 and his bisexuality never bothered me at all - not because it simply didn't come up in my game (though it didn't), but simply because that's the way he was right from the start of the game where he was introduced.  To my mind, men and women are happily united in being Fenris fans!  The Kaidan thing just felt different to me, but I think I have a better understanding of my feelings now, and I appreciate the help in identifying the issues at work in this matter.

I have the same problem with brownies and hot fudge sundaes. WHY ruin such a wonderful thing with nuts?! Ugh.

[dirae]

No worries, Ryzaki!
The sakuna pic reminds me! I read once that you get to keep all the gear and stuff from ME2 in ME3. If that includes the dress from Kasumi's mission, I want Kaidan to see it.

Kesteral armor yay! And my Shep will walk around in the tux from Kasumi's mission.

I half wonder if he can troll some people wearing his old Cerberus uniform. (and the armor) or will the Cerberus symbol just conspiciously vanish.

Irrelevant since having romanced someone =/= having only feelings for that gender. In other words, just because Kaidan only romanced femShep up to now, does not mean he wasn't bisexual the entire time.

Or the Collector Armor, complete with that creepy helmet? (shudder)

I totally head canon'd my Shep using that armor for the trolling factor in ME2. (even if I never used it in game). Snuck up behind Joker wearing it and everything. XD

Rene's such a damn troll.

Btw how many of you are parents? He brought that up recently and I'm like but then no xbox t hat doesn't work for me.

This is actually the reason I give for not wanting kids right now. So far my husband is ok with it...

Haha, my husband and I have been married for 6 1/2 years and from day one people have been asking when we're going to start having kids. While we would love to start (getting pregnant is not as easy for some people), we enjoy the "freedom" that we have right now. We're both gamers, and I love being able to get on xbox whenever I want to play whatever game I want.

9  years together - married  for 7, but I know what you mean - people started asking right away.

I almost missed this!

I may be a bit off topic, but I love both cats and dogs. I've owned dogs for about 10 years now but I still like cats.

Dayum! See what I did there?:innocent:

YES! Damn those hidden allergens - I had no food issues til about 6 or 7 years ago, then developed a milk protein allergy, and also seems I have allergies to peanuts and almonds now too I always carry an epipen when I'm at a restaurant, and get so tired of having to explain these things to table staff who then bring out the pizza I ordered WITHOUT cheese only to find it covered in blasted cheese. GRR. Fools.

I really, really miss cheese. 

At least I have now become much more creative in the kitchen, and I lost heaps of weight too.

It'd be even funnier if Shepard snuck up behind Joker in the whole getup-- the music is building suspense, a deep cello note or something. Then Joker just turns in his chair and says "Hey Shepard!"

The cologn kinda gives it away, I guess.

Ugh I was just thinking, what happens if bioware do a terrible, Harry potter like epilogue. Where Shep marries his LI and live happily ever after, calling his kids after people who died.

So much truth! I tell people not to put dairy on my crap because it makes me nauseus and crampy and bloated. It's ugly. I just hold my belly and sweat until it wears away. But people-- including waiters will just assume I say no "dairy" cuz I'm watching my weight. I suppose the people who add nuts to everything have the same excuse. They think they're being kind and getting us to loosen up a little.  FUUU

Allergies can happen suddenly. People can go their whole lives, but certain life changes can trigger them-- sometimes permanently. Pregnancy does that sometimes.

Ouch. At least mine is restricted to nuts. (it seems it's all nuts too). *facepalms* Idiots everywhere.

Gotta look at the bright side right?

I could picture Joker doing something like that too. Shep needs to work on his trolling technique.

I don't think we'll hear anything about horrible child names, but didn't Bioware do something like this with Dragon Age Origins and Awakening? Some kind of written epilogue that explained what happened to the major characters. It wasn't so bad.
