Nope, I'm not even gonna watch. The fact that he said that completely boggles my mind. What the flying f*ck were those idiots thinking?

 

It's not that bad given the context. Miranda seems to be struggling because she doesn't think she deserves to be loved, or something like that. So "you want it" is more like "what are you afraid of?".

 

Hell, her immediate answer is "Yes, I do..."

I know a gay guy who didn't like the Kaidan romance either, but it was because he kind of felt like Kaidan was just... how did he put it?

 

Forcing a relationship because he didn't want to die single, or something along those lines. He didn't get the sense that Kaidan's expression of interest was genuine, basically.

 

Personally, I do not like it when romance content differs drastically between genders. I don't see why a same-sex relationship should or would progress any differently from a heterosexual one. We're gays, not Martians.

My brother didn't care about the progression. He just wanted the dialogue to be different.  Like I said...I will try to get him to post because he can explain it better.

Shepard jokes about this just being an attempt to get her into bed and then says "you want it". Nope, it's pretty bad.

Well... some of us are Martians.

That's because there's literally no female LIs that are as unpopular as Jacob, regardless of the gender. Jacob was very unpopular with female and male players. It is likely that the devs thought that not many people would mind him not being an LI again. I can't blame them, the contempt toward Jacob ( and the results in the surveys were astonishing ) was so ovherwhelming that I'd think myself it wasn't worth it to waste resources for him lol.

 I liked Jacob, but I hated, with a capital H the way they had Shepard talk to him like a cat in heat.  That stopped me from continuing to talk to him for ages.  I eventually wanted to see what it was like and just turned the sound off till later in the game.  It was ok.  

 

But I'm a die hard Kaidan fan, and since they didn't have any kind of DR, most all of my romances were with him.  I did the others to see what they were like.  I liked Garrus' romance but I adore him as my best friend who blows things up with me, and found Thane rather sweet.  The one that surprised me the most was how much I enjoyed  Jack with paragon Shepard.  

 

I'm pretty sure I'll find all of the romances interesting.  DA2 was my least favorite group, but even these had their moments.

You don't get to do that in game development, unless you're the big boss in charge and have unlimited resources.

Too True.  But I still wish it could have happened.

I don't see why dialogue would really be different between genders. I don't think my conversations with my boyfriend are particularly gendered.

I don't talk to boys a lot, but from my observations, I understand that sentences are punctuated by high fives?  :huh:

Uh-oh, now I'm kinda feeling like a pervert. *goes for the mandibles!*

No really, is it strange to be attracted to alien races? Hmmm....

Not with his voice.  Not at all.  

 

Now if he had sounded like oh Gilbert Gottfried or "Bobcat" Goldthwait.  I find both of them funny, but would not be interested in a LI voiced by either of them.  :blink:

I wonder if they can use Bob Paris’ looks for Ser Michel de Chevin and set him up for a M/M relationship. One who is struggling with his sexuality?
 
Bob Paris a gay man in a society that told him he was less than a man. On the outside he looked like a narcissistic individual but on the inside he was someone trying to prove he was whole.
 
Kind of reminds me of Ser Michel de Chevin trying to prove himself in a world that doesn’t accept Elves. 
Just a thought. I was on a business trip before kids and saw his poster in a bodybuilding gym in Venice Beach. I think he would fit the part nicely.

I really wish my brother would post on these boards to offer his thoughts. He recently said he feels like the only gay man who did not like Kaidan/mShep.   He said despite the fact that mShep had originally been planned to have a m/m ship since the first game it felt  like fan service to him  and he wished the mshep/Kaidan  dialogue had been different than it was for femShep/Kaidan.    It just really disappointed him.   

 

He liked his Cortez playthrough better  and enjoyed his playthrough as a femShep romancing Garrus.

 

 

He has an account here...I have been BEGGING him to post since he reads the boards and I can tell he wants to reply to some of these posts but he doesn't want the backlash for his ideas being different.    

 

Maybe I will try bribing him to post. :lol:

 

If there wasn't the Kaidan romance for fShep then there probably wouldn't be one for mShep. They wouldn't have written his romance just to be a gay romance. He was dead for a lot of people. New male player characters got Ashley instead of him by default. He was romanceable by female player characters anyway and it took little effort to make him available to male player characters as well. I would like to think they only did that to make up for the fact that there never was a gay romance option in any previous Mass Effect. Whatever the gay romance option would be, it wouldn't be the same as some of the other romances spanning two or even three games. So investing little time and effort to make Kaidan, who we know from the first game, romanceable by male Shepards was an attempt to make up for that. In reality they might have done it just because it was easily done and there was no reason not to.

Are you making fun of Paris Really? His waist is not teeny. His lats, chest, biceps, quads and calves are huge. It is a visual perception.

Well, I meant in comparison to the rest of him. It doesn't look like it can support his gigantic torso.

You would be surprised. These guys can carry an incredible amount of weight. 

 

 

EDIT: They can train for flexibility as well.

Yup, same here.  I just stopped talking to Jacob out of fear and the constant queasy feeling in my stomach... I'm always for Kaidan too and like you I also tried romancing Garrus but it's just doesn't feel right, he's my best friend..it was like flirting with my brother (if I had one..).  Gave up, too much face pulling on my part..

The sibling vibe is something I felt sometimes too. Tali and Merrill gave the me younger sister vibe (I had one), and I can't romance them.

Wow, I can't believe I had to dig all the way back to page 3 to find this thread!  Poor thing :(

 

I wasn't too interested in romancing Vivienne until I drew this, now I'm definitely feeling the love bug :crying: QQ

Ispan is amazing!  This image is awesome.  Vivienne (and the femInquistor) is absolutely stunning.  I have to admit it.  If Vivienne is a f/f LI, I'm totally going to do a Lady Dwarf Inquisitor play through in order to romance her!

There will be no Vivienne romance

Because I want her as an LI so it won’t happen or worse she’ll be a M/F romance only
