Typical to go straight on the attack ...if you have no intelligent comebacks go straight for the throat ... I explained why I thought it should be a downloadable content as THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS ARE NOT HOMOSEXUAL...so once again the majority have to bow out for the minority.....that's fair
Most people couldn't survive hand-to-hand combat with a creature like the Shadow Broker, so I guess you could use this fact to bolster your argument since you can only do that if you purchase the DLC. Unless you got the PS3 version, in which case the player should be outraged and their immersion ruined.
I'm not gay, but that doesn't mean that I couldn't have sex with someone of the same sex if we both wanted to. The option is available to anyone who doesn't live under a government that wished to emulate Sharia law or WWII Germany. And I seriously doubt there would be so much outrage over the ability of female Shepard to bag Liara and/or Kelly.
And, because I ONCE AGAIN read people complaining about Anders, I reprint my earlier rant from another thread:
You know, too many complain about Anders' "ninjamance" and worry about how it
will be the template for male gays in ME3. IF the writers take Garrus
down a similar route in ME3, I'll be complaining along side them. But...
In
DA:A, it was never established that he ONLY likes girls, but that
Anders had obviously been successful at hitting on women and
manipulating women into doing his dirty work. Perhaps the men he's met
so far have all been straight, too smart to fall for his schtick, or he
may approach men differently.
Or maybe JUSTICE is bisexual, or
the merging of personalities removed any objections. Or maybe his status
as an abomination makes him DESPERATE for find any warm harbor to take
shelter in.
[Actually, after originally posting this rant, I was notified that DA:A does have dialog where Anders comments on a man named "Karl" being his first love.]
All of the players MOANING CONSTANTLY about romances
needing to be more realistic (and, somehow, not gay) need to think about
THEIR OWN ACTIONS leading up to the infamous "ninjamance." IT CAN ONLY
BE TRIGGERED BY PICKING ALL THE "NICE" OPTIONS.
Think about that
for a minute. You're Hawke, and either you or your sibling is an
apostate. You're hiding from the Templars. Scared of the Templars.
Everything you're doing it to raise enough money to avoid the Templars.
You
need maps, and Anders has them. So you reach a deal to help him help
his buddy to escape and become an apostate. IN THE CHANTRY. Okay...
Needless
to say it all turns to ****. His buddy had a lobotomy, and Anders
suddenly reveals that HE IS AN ABOMINATION! HOLY ****!
Not only
that, but suddenly you're encountering the infamous DA2 wave assaults,
this time made up of... wait for it... TEMPLARS! HOLY CRAP! NO! Now
Hawke is FIGHTING TEMPLARS! KILLING TEMPLARS! IN THE CHANTRY NO LESS!
Two dozen awesome button explosions later you talk to
Anders at the clinic, where, if you choose all "nice" options, you can
trigger the infamous "ninjamance." Oh, my God! My immersion is ruined!
*sob*
Bethany has spoken that daddy Hawke purposely did NOT teach
his children how to communicate with demons so they wouldn't become
abominations (not sure how that is supposed to work, but I'll go with it
for now). And it is obvious that while Hawke him/herself may not be an
Andraste worshiper, s/he was raised to be one. Abominations are bad.
Really, really bad.
So, all these critics of gay ninjamances, who
SCREAM about the need for REALISM in their role playing games, take no
responsibility of their own actions and choosing all "nice" options.
ANDERS:
I'm an abomination. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Oh, and I really
feel bad that there's a good chance you could be put to death for
killing Templars in the Chantry.
HYPOCRITICAL AUTHORITY ON
ROLE-PLAYING REALISM AS HAWKE: Hey, no problem, buddy! I'm sure killing a
dozen Templars is no big deal! Chantry carpets are famous for being
stain resistant! And, golly, you have just got to be the nicest
abomination I've ever met!
So, a lonely, isolated, desperate,
apostate abomination has a moment and actually considered that he had
found someone, anyone, who could provide some emotional stability and
perhaps even some snuggle-bunnies. And, in a moment of disappointed, he
becomes upset when he finds out he's wrong.
Honestly, people,
there were quite a few stupid scenes that made no sense in DA2, but that
wasn't one of them. I would dare say it was DAMN realistic.
Now stop whining over 5 rivalry points.
