As far as I know, Jen Hale and Mark Meer both recorded all romance-specific lines regardless of gender for ME1. So the VO files were there but BW picked and chose as to what to include in the final build.

 

It's funny because this doesn't appear to have been the case with ME2, where most of the romance-specific lines appeared gender-restricted with no indication of recording everything.

Seen some conspiracy theories about this, but never bet on malevolence if inexperience is an option. The Mass 1 tools were just not as sophisticated. Game tools don't suddenly exist, they are developed along with the games. I mean, Frostbite didn't even have a conversation editor before we got hold of it. For Mass 1 we were adapting our tools from previous games, and hadn't had to deal with player VO prior. So we didn't initially think to have a way to flag a player line as male or female Shep only, we could only print the whole thing to excel and manually make notes for the VO director, which wasn't always viable. Cost us thousands in recording time.

That actually makes perfect sense.

I guess I'm not the only one who hates being a responsible adult. Thankfully, I barely count as one.

 

P.S.: I went to a local bookstore today, daring to think I might find Last Flight there. You can imagine my surprise, when I actually found The Calling and The Masked Empire there. Czech translations though. Also, the books have... different, funny covers. The Calling has DA:O Awakenings cover, TME has Inquisition cover with swapped out color palette for a white-red one.

If you have a Kindle, I would just download the English versions from there. Cheaper and just as practical.

Oh. Sadly, 'tis among forbidden magic in my Circle...

 

Even though I keep telling the First Enchanter that not all unknown magic is automatically evil.

I have a feeling a lot of Sera's banter dialogue is going to be full of lesbian subtext and innuendo

Personally, I find Sera to be quite unattractive, so I'm not really that bothered that I can't romance her. Cassandra and Josephine are both much more attractive if you ask me (Josephine, in particular, is really good looking); I actually wasn't too fussed about Cassandra to be begin with, but she's grown on me, and I'm glad that I've got her as an option instead of Sera.

I will never understand people who come into a character thread knowing it is full of fans of that character just to bad mouth the character *shrugs* oh well guess they have nothing better to do, that or he couldn't find the Josephine or Cassandra threads

I'm afraid I suffer form the Woolie complex. Short haired women are the best. Blood Mary was amazing.

If you're not bothered by it, why are you here in the first place?

Thats fine. We all have different tastes :)

 

Not a big fan of Sera's haircut myself, but her personality sounds fun.

He simply said that he thinks Sera is unattractive. Nothing wrong with that. Its called an opinion.

 

While it is true that fan threads will mostly contain fans who will only talk about positive things, that doesn't mean someone can't come in and say something more "negative".

 

So long as its not trolling.

Well this isn't just a romance thread. it is also just about her character in general.

I can understand the attitude better when it's something about the character's personality that bothers them (Alistair dumping responsibility on the Warden, for example), but we don't know the characters yet and coming in here to say Sera is ugly and the other ladies are so much better is just weird.

It just seems like he's trying to get a rise out of people on purpose by telling everyone how unattractive he finds Sera. It's not like he came here to discuss her backstory, personality etc, just to bash the characters looks.
