I preferred Samara over Morinth, mainly because I like living.
And I'm a sucker for the cougars. :wub:

Ew, Samara was literally the worst person on Shepard's ship.


uh no!  The worst person was jacob.

and no.  I'm not racist.  He was just horrible. Not soon forgetting that my femshep became a total hoe when she spoke to him.<_<


Jacob ruined my attempt at a no cheating, no death first ME2 playthrough. I forgot he existed and didn't do his loyalty mission. Git.

Well, that escalated quickly. Anyway, let's try to steer this topic back on track.

I think player-sexual is the certainly the most practical option, but I dislike it. I think a person's sexuality is an important part of their identity, and should not be discarded so easily. Playing a straight male Shepard, I remember being very impressed with the friendship paths for Cortez and Traynor. Their homosexuality was part of who they were, not the only thing they were. I liked comparing eye-candy with Cortez in Purgatory, or getting dumped by Traynor over a game of chess (not to mention all the great Citadel banter between her and EDI). I grew to be friends with both of them over the game, and I would like to see that dynamic again.

In general, I dislike player-centered narcissism. I feel it violates a companions integrity as a character, while also hamstringing the writers. A lot of people say stuff like "Oh, I loved Morrigan, but it was stupid that I couldn't have a lesbian romance with her", but that sounds to me a lot more like "I loved Fenris as a character, but it was stupid that he wouldn't fall in love with a mage-loving maleficar! Why don't my companions worldview completely change to accommodate my fickle whims?".


I agree, but I believe the debate between Bi and Player sexual romances are almost a pick your poison. I feel like playercentric romance might do their identities discredit, but what if your male warden wanted to romance Alistair? Or what if your Hawke wanted Sebastian?

Females are better than males anyway. "Fe" is the symbol for iron, so if you break down the etymology of our gender name, we are "iron men". Science.


:lol::lol::lol::lol:

oh my god, This is thread is going to get locked!:lol:

won't be long now.


It's like 12 so it'll be a few hours most likely. Plus weekend.

 

Though I must point out the travesty of "Fe" males (iron men) who are "gold" diggers. They're just "Au" ful.

Like I said at the beginning... give people an inch and they'll take a mile.


Small wonder that we who get a whole inch would not be satisfied when we've been watching the rest of you get your mile for, like, ever. 

Can you really not see the problem here?  You're exactly right, we're NOT happy with an inch, because while you ARE getting that mile, we are still only ever given an inch.  You're basically throwing us a f*cking CRUMB and demanding that we be happy with it.


Making all of the LIs in a game available to any gender PC is a bread crumb? Sheesh, I'd hate to see what a mile actually is to you, then.

Not really a bad thing when the other half has dozens of miles. .. Something to think about.

Miranda was awesome, though I might only be remembering the "good" times. ;)

This would be my preference for LIs:

1 straight male - companion
1 straight female - companion
1 bisexual male - companion
1 bisexual female - companion
1 bisexual male - NPC
1 bisexual female - NPC
1 Qunari, 1 dwarf, 2 elves and 2 humans, based on the above
1 or 2 DLC extras which can be dwarf, elf or human; straight, bisexual or homosexual; male or female*

Obviously, resources are an issue, but, short of having every possible orientation, gender and race, this would be my preferred minimum.

* = no Qunari, unless there are none prior to DLC companions, in which case, there should be at least 1 whom is Qunari


If we must have 2/2/2 I'd prefer

1 bisexual male companion
1 bisexual female companion
1 straight female NPC
1 straight male NPC
1 gay female NPC
1 gay male NPC

That way there's no "but all the companions are bi/gay!" nonsense. You have 2 LIs that are companions and they're for both genders. The NPCs can be the exclusive options. Hopefully the NPcs will be similar in degrees of importance. (The companions preferably are more plot important though).

Ok this I agree with, sadly though, many peopel won't like this since they can't pork everyone.

Can't have everything. That's something a lot of people should learn.

While I do agree that we shouldn't have everything, it still sucks....I'm just a little bitter.

I'm kind of ashamed you don't remember which side I'm on.


I think romance ratios should, on some level, reflect real life.

So there are more male LIs FOR females than female LIs for males (because let's face it, a girl can always find a guy who will like her), less gay LIs, even less bi LIs.
