I think the take away from this thread is the number of "straight" people who find the gay option in these games. And how easily they find it.

Hmmmm?

.its 2011 i still dont understand why people hate what they dont understand/fear.i understand that.if people dont agree with it they say one thing and are told they should die is a bit wrong.if you pro's want change that dont force it upon people into submission only hurts the cause.the people who are against it your ganna have to deal with it at some point,yeah you see it as a dead horse being beaten over and over again.avoid it then and dont comment just pass over it...i have pleanty of gay/lesbians friends and they would agree that this anti-gay VS gay/lesbian war needs to end its the F***ing interent get real people..this is all.

oh by the way the random comments are WoW

Meh, as long as the romances themselves are written in a good way and not the copy pasta way that DA 2 romances were written, I don't see a problem. The "changing" or "retconning" the character's sexuality could be apart of a diverging narrative where the squaddies realise, deal with and accept their sexuality if ****** or bi sexual.

Ultimately, that would be the most satisfying way as people gunning for a homosexual romance can really feel like they are exploring their LIs in a meaningful way (no pun intended) whereas people gunning for a heterosexual romance don't feel like the characters have been retconned as their romantic questlines ought to diverge into a different direction and be as well written.

Of course, this is going to lead to pointless arguments over "canon" characters, but I'd take that any day over DA 2's ham fisted approach or having no homosexual or bisexual LIs at all.

Why else wouldn't you?

You have no problem seeing heterosexual content happening without the player (you) initiating it.

So if you don't want homosexual content happening without the player (you) initiating it then you must find it what then? Displeasing? Gross?


You obviously didn't read my post very well.

I AM OKAY WITH HOMOSEXUAL CONTENT THAT THE PLAYER DOESN'T INITIATE AS LONG AS THIS CONTENT  IS NOT INITIATED BY CHARACTERS FROM MASS EFFECT 1 OR 2. In that case, Shepard should be the one initiating the content, so that homosexual players can enjoy their homosexual romance and heterosexual players can enjoy not seeing homosexual content.

James Vega coming onto me is one thing. Garrus coming onto me is another thing entirely.

If you don't pick flirty options, you won't come on to your squad mates, which means you won't have to worry about Garrus "loving you back." Just make it clear you're only interested in being a bro. Problem solved. Sexuality will not transform a character's personality. Garrus will not suddenly turn into a raging homosexual in pink combat armor with a feather boa. He will be Garrus. Our beloved bad-ass turian one-liner.


Damn right! I agree with all of this!.... though the pink combat armor with feather boa would be HOT! <3

Let me say this as well, I don't oppose s/s romance in general, I oppose making current LIs (either all, some, or even one) bi.

How do you know they're (all, some or one) not already bi? No, revealing attraction to one gender does not rule out attraction to other gender. Simple. It's just logic. So unless these characters told you they're straight, you, nor I for that matter can know for certain they're not bisexual.


And how do you know they are already bi? And why do they need to state their sexuality?

Because they're fictional characters and do not possess a mind of their own.

Finally, someone understands what I'm trying to say. I'm not against s/s romances. I want to play ME3 without them, but I don't want another half of the community to not be happy because of what I want. At the same time, I don't want my experience hurt because of what they want. I just hope Bioware finds a way to make everyone happy.

Hypocritically, I romanced Tali.

FIXED. This is what gay players would sound like if they were as priviledged as you.

There is nothing wrong about being worried characters may be derailed/ruined by adding on unneccessary romance plots.

But, c'mon people, we have a 100 page thread that discusses S/S romances.

Ahh but I said it includes me as well thus I cannot know it either. And why do they need to state their sexuality? For the same reasons people IRL do it. Do you think real-life bisexuals don't get the same "Wait whaaa? How!? But you flirted with a girl yesterday?!" questions? Bisexuality = liking BOTH women and men. Mean when a bisexual person talks about hot hot that one blonde girl is, that person really means it. But that person also likes men.

Technically, I think we're all "insert sexual" just in different ways.
