Agree! I think polyamory is a good idea !

But  not all LIs in MEA can accept it, someone or some race maybe disagree, maybe angry with you.

maybe you and your LIs can happy together, maybe they will infight with each other

.Anyway, that Polyamory and monogamy  coexist in MEA story is a great  idea I think

I'm sorry, but in my opinion not every sexual orienttion needs to be put into Bioware games. Straight, Bi and Gay should be enough.

That's not polygamy then, but polyamory. Polygamy only applies in terms of marriage. 

 

Ah alright. I'm getting confused about all these terms.

 

well technically its not illegal to cheat on your SO either

 

Actually in some countries is has been/is, I think Korea just recently got rid of that law :P

Sexual orientation toggle is among the worst and most superfluous ideas that they could ever conceivably implement in an rpg.

Hard to say if people are truly serious when it's suggested, because it's just so silly a feature.

Silly? It would mirror real life. Gay men always inuitively know I am straight and as such, never hit on me. Well, except for that one time...and that other time ...and that other time...

Greetings, 

 

Yeah, I can agree that to some we are just bouncing around ideas and concept or at least in my case. But I do think it would interest to a character who is in love with themselves would be interesting in both an interaction and a role playing aspect. I do think a character should comment on your relationships or the scene from DA:I with Iron Bull, the player character and every other NPC in the game.  :lol:  I don't like when characters act the same scene to scene.

I think white privilege is the biggest issue we face today. In all countries and in all walks of life. It is NOT first world problems, its a humanity problem and omg if you're born and you are a male....your life is already laid out and you will be successful. Whens the last time you saw a poor white male? Exactly.

When creating your character profile, why not include Sexual Orientation? That way, certain characters are available, certain characters are not. That would also add a touch of realism.

Why not indeed?

...A sexuality toggle is more realistic. Really. Gods know I chose my sexuality at birth. Didn't everyone? </sarcasm>

There is no need for a toggle. You roleplay your sexuality, and you decide which way your PC swings. I see no need for such a toggle unless it's to somehow block "gay content."

I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt, at least a little bit. My first thread started in complete innocence was asking why Cullen was considered fan service. That was like kicking up a hornets nest and I didn't even know it. If you are brand new, then I'll state that BioWare has said time and time again that this isn't ever going to happen.

As far as polyarmory, they did discuss it, but it blew their word budget out of the water. To sum it up, would you like to have more dialogues with your companions/NPCS, or would you like a poly romance? They can't do both, as the romance content isn't considered separate from the rest of the word budget. My best friend is poly, but I'd rather not see a halfassed job being done in ME or DA. I'd also like to see not just other romance content, but also the favorite thing for me about BW games: The friendships.

If you're a returning troll, then good job on getting folks to click on your thread.

Actually there is a woman who married herself

What the hell is the point of marrying yourself? You end up in the hospital, your own visitation rights are kind of useless.

Actually, you never chose anything of the sort. You simply are what you are.

 

A player character doesn't choose anything either. They are what we make them.

 

I don't see the problem, particularly since OP's suggestion doesn't seem like a toggle to me, any more than I "toggled" whether Shepard was space or earthborn.

Are you sure? Maybe I should start another one just in case...

 

You can never have too many romance threads. ;)

If we're speaking strictly in terms of functionality, these two are not the same thing at all. The history/backgrounds of Shepard provide material for the player to determine the kind of character they'd like to play. However, these backgrounds don't lock you into any decisions. For example, if they worked like this " sexuality toggle", you wouldn't be able to make the decision of whether or not you spare Balak or sacrifice the hostages, because the background predetermines the outcome. 

 

So what good would this feature really be? It seems to me that the only people who think they might benefit would be people who just want to manually lock out content they can already avoid themselves, which is stupid.

It's probably because a lot of them found Dorian irresistable in DAI, so now they know they need a toggle to keep themselves from giving in to the temptation.

I know right? I made a male PC specifically to romance him.

And we are assuming this would lock you in? I don't think that was the intention. Someone else remarked it might be used to change some NPC's behavior around you. This would probably result in some lines being different, just as Shepard's background does.

 

I think the word "toggle" is raising some preconceptions that people are (over)reacting to.

So, what exactly would be the point of selecting a character's sexual preference at creation be? To add a label? "John Shepard, heterosexual or Jane Shepard, lesbian." That seems awkward to me, not to mention that I had one Shepard that I originally thought of as straight, but ended up romancing Liara. Would there be a way to change the sexuality in game? Debates about the Asari's monogendered status aside, straight women aren't sexually attracted to the female form. So wouldn't such a label restrict roleplay?

Or is it to stop any flirt prompts from showing up outside of your character's sexuality? Such as straight female player character not getting any of the flirt prompts from the same gender, or things like that? I'm not trying to be rude nor confronational, I'm only trying to understand. I don't get it. Would someone please be willing to explain to me exactly how this could benefit the game or the player?

Also, what exactly do you mean by changing NPC reactions? ME is a setting where it's been stated that it's more taboo to shoink a Turian (or an alien in general, save maybe the Asari) as a human than with two humans of the same gender. What would they be remarking on based upon sexuality being set via a game feature on creation? I'm not sure what would need to change here or even why, and I'm sincerely puzzled.

Edit: Or is it to have the option for a lost love as a PC background to have NPCs remark on that?

I've been hearing requests for player features along these lines for four years and counting now. It seems like a flat out waste of time and resources to add something like this. It just seems so frivolous, and if the reason is for a lost love as a backstory, then I'm not sure if I can fully support it. We've got enough of those with the BW party members and LIs, imho.

I wasn't being sarcastic or trying to be rude when I was asking those questions in this post. It's late and I'm more curious than anything else. I am willing to listen to why proponents behind such a feature feel it can benefit the game. I might not agree (or at least entirely,) but I really do want to hear the outside point of views on this. I can respect a point of view that doesn't match my own, so long as there is a reasonable counterpoint.

But then, wouldn't that strike someone as being some kind of user-activated censor, which has the sole purpose of blocking "objectionable" character content? I guess instead of asking what the benefit is supposed to be, I suppose I should ask who is this supposed to benefit, and why should BioWare care about those people.
