Well duh, of course Mass Effect is primarily geared towards males due to the nature of the game. Does that mean female gamers won't play it?
Of course not. Thats why Bioware gave them Thane, because they were pissed that they didn't get their "malien" romance in ME..
You claimed that they were trying to get the female crowd, they could care less at this point.
The reason they made Thane a romance option was because male shep had 3 LI's and to be fair they made Thane to fill that void in the femshep roster. I really doubt it was anything else as the player explosion over femshep getting shorted in the number of LI's would have been even more Epic than this fallout.
There is absolutely no reason that they couldn't have made a F/F option, which is evident in the fact that there was ZERO B*itching about the assumed f/f that was going to be in the game a few weeks ago and before. Nobody cared and it was a well established assumption that there would be a f/f LI in the game (Asari) which many were looking forward to actually. The
only complaining about it was that Samara might not fit the romance personality (wynne syndrome, too old etc) at all, not that she was a potential gay romance. But now, NOW that people are upset that there is no such option the trolls come out in force and expect us to believe that Bioware did it for "Majority purposes", to "sell more to mainstream". That's a downright lie and is only meant t insight rage in the posters of these threads (which is working).
The reasons for Biowares decision to not include a f/f LI presented in this thread are beyond the pale and are perfect examples of individuals grasping at straws with horrendous logical fallacies as their backup. Pathetic...
