Eh?
This sucked in ME3. I would have happily taken ME2 NPCs on my crew (including the non romance ones). There was no drama in their loss. Just a simple lack of content. At best, the "drama" was that my Shep made friends with Javik... who disliked the crew even more. Misery loves company.
Isn't leaving your LI on the flagship and taking your crew out to do a mission a long enough distance relationship? I mean, you could be down on a planet for years.
(They won't address that in Mass Effect, but think Interstellar.)
Sooooooooooooooooooo now this post makes no sense.
A Bunz thread?
Haven't had one of those in awhile.
I thought the same thing
Gotta hand it to you, Bunz-buddy; at least you're creative. My favourite by far is when you tried to convince everyone that you're a trans otherkin Quarian princess though. I should hire you to help me write.
Hah that was hilarious!

Considering that laying a hand on someone is also an expression for violence and is often used when talking about abuse in relationships, I should certainly hope not.
That may be but in this case...
I want to shower them with kisses, cute words, be touching them constantly and forgetting about everything else in the world when staring deep into their eyes. Come on guys and gals, hit me with that romance.
Aaaaand.... You need long distance relationship for this?
That's what I'm trying to get at. When you are always around your lover, you start taking the time you have with them for granted. Wasting what precious little time we have in life.

You sound like someone who has never actually had a real relationship.
I've been married for eleven years. My wife and I have pet names for each other. We have amazing sex. We hang out together, we talk about things, we reach out and hold hands sometimes when we're just sitting together watching TV.
Not everyone is like us, but REAL relationships don't depend on artificial constraints like distance to maintain passion.
I really want a passionate relationship with one of the NPCs and don't see any way around building tension through distance. I never really felt any emotional connection with any of the NPC. It felt more friend with benefits than anything.
Of course I'd want to meet up with them from time to time or it becomes counter productive, the long distance. Bioware could throw in a romance option with someone not in the crew who shows up from time to time to help with missions and is a real badaxe. We could shoot eachother emails from our private terminals, flirt, plan dates and coordinate missions.
I'm not photogenic nor 10/10 supermodel status so online dating is just not in the cards for me. My best hope is to live vicariously through video game romances.
If you couldn't develop any kind of emotional connection to the characters you spend a lot of time with, HOW are you going to build that emotional response to a character you barely see?
As to your personal status: No video game is ever going to substitute for real life. Look, I know some pretty "un-photogenic" people who are happily in relationships. Perhaps the problem is less your physical form and more your emotional connections to humans?
yeah.Real love and he never laid a hand on you? Sounds like creep to me.
Is a hug an act of violence?Considering that laying a hand on someone is also an expression for violence and is often used when talking about abuse in relationships, I should certainly hope not.
Is a hug an act of violence?
Depends on the hug: you can be deliberately hurt and quite badly by a person hugging you depending on much strength they use and how they apply said strength.
Like Miranda in Mass Effect 3.
Jack and Thane too, now that I think of it.
I remember how people talk about Iron Bull's buttslap after a kiss is considered sexist. This forum has more entertainment value than Dragon Age Inquisition. This is like the endgame content, and people complain Bioware doesn't do free DLC.
Hold up a tick.
I'm used to some nutty conversations on the BSN, but this one boggles my mind. A hug is can be an act of violence. Seriously? Look, I've had some huge bear hugs, and sometimes I had a little trouble breathing. That isn't violent to me at all. I've had friends that were big guys, and they loved to give big hugs. To me, violence implies malice and an intent to harm. I've never had someone to try to hug me to death. I guess I'll never see a big and enthusiastic hug as an act of violence.
I know there isn't a lot to talk about, but this is getting more absurd than usual.
S'why I said it depends on the hug and used the word deliberately. The hugs you describe are without an intent to hurt and are not aimed at causing pain. I've recieved hugs that were deliberately aimed at causing me pain and they did though in my case, they did not cause injuries and the pain thankfully never lasted long.
I do not see all hugs as being acts of violence, certainly not. I've recieved more hugs that were comforting and friendly than I have hugs that were malicious and cruel.
Fair enough. I've never had someone try to hurt me with a hug. Now, I did have someone try to run over me with a car back in 1999. They thought I was a part of the "Trenchcoat Mafia," the term for the idiots that make April 20th a "treat" every year in Colorado. I wore a Navy long coat because the weather here is unpredictable. The lady even yelled, "You're going to to hell for what your friends did!" Never mind the fact that I didn't know those guys from Adam, and they helped make life difficult for me and my friends. Dodging a car because of a piece of clothing was one of the most violent things that I've ever gone through.S'why I said it depends on the hug and used the word deliberately.

Also, if I seem snarky (at least more so than usual,) it's been a bad week and it's about to get worse over the next month. I apologize if I came across poorly.
Nah, it's fine. I know what it can be like; I've had a tough month myself. I hope you'll get some better days

It's been pretty rough lately, but I'll make it. I've got my friends on the forum, my friends offline and a wonderful husband that's there for me. In all things, there is a silver lining.

Sorry if I brought something up there. I'm just remembering an old favourite of mine =)
