But what if female characters WANT to be sexy!? Stop oppressing women!

[Dovahzeymahlkey]

Eh, I like Kelly. I just never had interest in romancing her. The same happened with Tali and Merrill, but for the latters it's because They always trigger the sister vibe in my characters.
I'm planning a new ME playthrough, so I might try to romance Kelly this time.

TIL: Elder King likes dating girls that remind him of his sister.

I had no idea that Kelly was such a ...... vigorous dancer.  That's awfully.......  Uh.  Good for her?

MelisandreShep romances nobody in ME1, Kelly alone in ME2, and Traynor in ME3.

It started as my "no-romance" play-through, but turned into a Sam-Shepard run with subsequent plays. Quite satisfying like that.

Regarding societal pressure

 

 

I have a ban on anything pink for my daughter. I am also in despair whenever I go to a toy shop and see:

1) 'Boys' toys being things like chemistry sets, cars, robots, pirates, sciency stuff

2)'Girls' toys being universally pink and being makeup ( wtf), dolls, cooking stuff, princess outfits and jewellery

 

It certainly does start at a young age.

I don't have a ban on anything for my son (sixteen months old now!), but we're trying to even out his toys as much as possible when we buy him new stuff. Right now, his favorite two toys are a plush female doll in a pink dress, a tire pressure gauge, and a flashlight. So that's clearly normal.

Poor Kelly, leaving her alone after a traumatic ordeal than you show up months later dating another woman.

 

You're the Jacob of that relationship.

[FKA_Servo]

I'm not an MRA. I dislike MRAs almost as much as I dislike feminists.

FYI, slugger - if this is your way of positioning yourself as some sort of enlightened übermensch or something, it's not working very well.

And if you hate MRAs as much as you say (almost as much as feminists! Zounds!), you might want to check on whether the nonsense you're spouting isn't MRA boilerplate.

You wouldn't want to come across as poorly informed, would you?

If you don't see the problem with this, then all hope is lost.

Battling "social pressure" by socially pressuring your kid into the other direction is not the right answer. You sound like a horrible parent to me.

Bah. Between the demands of the situation in ME3 and Kelly's inability to join the crew on the Normandy, numerous things were understood and reconciled between them, before the romance with Traynor turns serious.

[WildOrchid]

what would you rather have; "hyper sexualized" characters like Miranda.. or characters from Dragon Age Inquisition where the females are trannies..

 

 sorry, but with the exception of Liliana, Vivienne and Josephine, the females in DAI were not very.. well.. female.  and your created character.. not many feminine choices.

 

i got no issues with people that want to make characters like that.. but i want female characters to be bad ass AND sexy.  you can do both.  im sorry, but i dont want a video game where all the females arent very female.  we already have that in DAI.

 

 

 

And your post gave me a good laugh, wow.

I think you are a troll, to be honest. No-one can be this wilfully ignorant.

Eh, when my sisters and I were kids we just played with everything. My sisters liked toy cars and dolls and we had to split my bottomless pit of LEGO bricks. Humans got too many rules, man.

Didn't I say the opposite ?
Besides, it's My characters that felt this way too. Expecially Hawke.

Please tell me, it's not like I originate from there, or like I've been there ever

I don't originate from here. I'm from the US but moved here last year. It's very different. First, it's hot as all get out during the summer. Right now we are in the month of Ramadan. During this time, muslims aren't allowed to eat, drink, smoke, etc. until after sunset. Even I'm not allowed to eat in public and many places are closed during this time.

 

Many government buildings and all healthcare centers have separate seating areas, sometimes even different floors, for men and women. Bathrooms are often on different floors as well. The local women wear a black abaya and a hijab covering the head, sometimes the face. Sometimes, you can see their shoes underneath and often their footwear is very expressive. Men often, but not always, wear the traditional dish dasha. By law, as a woman, my knees and shoulders are supposed to be covered. I've seen women violate this law and usually nothing happens. I wear jeans and long skirts usually. Public displays of affection are illegal as well although that's not always enforced either.

 

Shopping is a big part of the culture here. There are many malls. Even the grocery stores are located in the mall. Often, you'll see a man shopping with his two wives, children and nannies. There are even cell phone ads advertising phone service to help men keep in contact with both wives!

 

Almost everything is done for you here. Many people come from Pakistan, India, the Phillipines and Africa to work very cheaply. I can hire someone to carry my bags for a few dirhams here. You don't fill up your own tank at the petrol station. I actually have a maid service just because it's so inexpensive. Many people here have live in maids. The houses here are huge. It was hard to find a Villa with less than 10,000 sq ft, 6 beds and 7 baths in the area we live in. My house is 'small' at 4,000 sq ft!  There's a lot more. But, it's 3 am here and I really need to get to bed!

Ignorant about what? You're the one saying you have a ban on anything pink for your daughter. And I'm saying that it's dumb and it makes you seem like the intolerable parent who is socially pressuring his kid for the sake of "equality".

[WildOrchid]

Eh, when my sisters and I were kids we just played with everything. My sisters liked toy cars and dolls and we had to split my bottomless pit of LEGO bricks. Humans got too many rules, man.

 

Ugh, LEGO.

Feet killers.

It seems interesting . I might try this.

I had a wide range of my "girly" and boyish" toys. I'm glad I was allowed to pick for myself.

I was being sarcastic, I'm from Lebanon, currently living in Canada. I don't celebrate ramadan as I am not muslim.

 

What country are in exactly? Lebanon is absolutely nothing like that.

The sarcasm is unfortunate; I didn't suspect sarcasm as the comment wasn't even directed at you. Ah well, I wish I hadn't typed all that now. I'm in the UAE.

I think the company should release a pain index chart for how much pain is inflicted by piece type. Much like the tiny but mighty ghost pepper is on the Scoville scale, 1x1's are the mac daddies.

I found it an interesting read, so thank you for writing it out.
