So you need to be homosexual to be able to write a meaningful homosexual relationship? What?Because they don't have any homosexuals on the writing team, and don't want to
end up making a cheap/cheesy/misunderstood homosexual relationship?

Haha I'd love to see the advertising for this.
Have you always wanted to be gay in a video game? Well wait no longer! For just 1200 microsoft points you can be all sorts of ******!

Are you a homosexual? Have you had both heterosexual and homosexual relations, can you tell me any subtle differences between the two?
For somebody to be able to write a believeable relationship, they need to know how those relationships are structured and how they function. They need to be able to analyze them, and then synthesize one that contains the subtleties that can be believed by those who also have those sorts of relationships (homosexual, heterosexual, whatever).
If there are no homosexuals to design/write the relationship, then it becomes much more difficult to make that relationship believable and avoid eye-roll inducing cheesiness.

Skitchin2112, if you just want to ****** I can give you some websites - you don't need to spam-up the ME2 forums. You can't play ME2 one handed anyway... and even if you could, it's only going to be some fluff conversation and a 15 second cut-scene in which you see nothing.
If you want a hawt vacation to the island of Lesbos, Bioware isn't your travel agent.
LOL naw man i got a girl she works well enough. I just usually play with a femshep cause i like the voice acting more. but scince im striaght i find M/F just not as fun. and when i found out there are no F/F romances. i decided i need to change that because i wanted samara
So you like the older women, eh, Skitchin. Older women lesbian action. Giggity. What about Dr Chakwas then?

Right....by that logic, one would need to have experienced human/quarian relationships to successfully write one of those.

Except the aliens of mass effect are purely imaginative, and there is nothing on earth that will be judging whether those relations are "true" to quarian behavior and relationships (other than the ones who write the lore).
Good try though
Homosexual relationships are *surprise* basically the same as heterosexual relationships. There's attraction, there's the wooing. There's the dating, the fights, and the make up. It's not a freaking mystery that requires special knowledge or experience in order to "get right." There have been published short stories that featured *gasp* gay men writing lesbian relationships and lesbians writing gay male relationships. And there have also been plenty of heterosexual authors who can write homosexual relationships and vice versa if you look for them.Crawling_Chaos wrote...

Rofl if only all of you guys would just be honest about it. No one believes your "ITS UNFAIR TO HOMOSEXUALS RAWAR". From now on just be like "I WANT SOME LESBIAN ACTION DAMNNIT", and im sure you would get more positive responses
I've been saying that for years now. Don't know where you've been.

Considering it's BioWare we're talking about, I thought this game already had these options.....

Then there should be no problem with a femshep/asari relationship.

First off, I'm sure there's more than one queer individual willing to help out the writers, if not write it alone, for free no less, assuming that there actually are no queer individuals at BioWare (which I doubt). Second, our (physiological) powers of observation aren't so lacking that it would be impossible for someone who isn't queer to write in a compelling queer relationship. We have these phenomona like imagination, empathy, and mimicry. Maybe you're familiar with them. Third, it's BioWare. They can do it...They HAVE done it, which is why I'm baffled anyone made the point you did.Crawling_Chaos wrote...

So, you want to say BW writers lack the 'imagination' to write a same sex romance?
Oh dear...
Interesting, considering that they have done it in the past. They've written some dang good ones.
And, what about homosexual writers that write good hetero romances? Or, is that impossible as well.
