Handheld himself has decided that he shall start the cycle anew with round 1 instead of continuing with the former number ( in truth Handheld himself cant remember what number he was on) .

Handheld would also like to say enough with the homosexual threads one is enough and as one of Handhelds fellow forumites pointed out they always turn into an argument where people argue pointless things.

On to Handhelds question

Handheld himself and a IRL cohort of handhelds were recently having a video game discussion and the topic of religion came up.

Handheld himself knows religion can be a touchy subject and if careful attention is not used when implementing it into games (and not just games movies as well as other types of media) It can upset alot of people as handheld and his many fellow forumites know there are many types of religion and each one special in its own way.

Handheld remembers that in Mass effect Ashley spoke of how she believed in god Handheld himself believes it added to her character and made her more interesting.

Handhelds Cohort and Handheld himself discussed this for a while and Handheld came to the conclusion that his Cohort was not entirely comfortable with the way religion is sometimes portrayed in video games as Handhelds Cohort is a Christian However Handhelds cohort still plays games because of the fact that he enjoys them.

Handheld poses this question upon His fellow forumites.

Handheld wishes to know how his fellow forumites feel about religion in video games and if they are uncomfortable with it or fine with it?

Handheld himself only asks that you keep the discussion as civil as possible and not attempt to start a holy forum war.

I'm not sure if it's been brought up already, but how do players here feel about the way religion was handled in Dragon Age: Origins--a fictional monotheism which could very easily be compared to real-world religions?



It is interesting and engaging? Does it seem preachy or modeled too closely on a real-world religion? Did you even notice? Did you want to learn more about it?



And to keep it on topic for the forum: What kind of religion system do you think would fit in well with the Mass Effect universe? What role would a modern-day Earth religion deity play for a space-faring, alien-meeting human?



And thank you all for keeping it mature and professional. I appreciate that.

Since this has degenerated into a religious discussion and not a discussion of Mass Effect, it gets closed. This is why we can't have nice things, people.



End of line.
