I'm not a cool Turian ?

 

Not till you've been sat on a kitchen top to cool and refrigerated. 

 

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna cut off your four Krogan balls and sell them to Dr. Saleon.

Ha.

I'd just buy them back.

I didn't know it was that easy to replace them.

Romance irl is definitely less clear. Making it more vague is more titillating and more natural. Realism isn't preferred for all things in the game, but I find it a preference in things like NPC interactions.

 

 

That was exactly my point. Naturalism can't work, and shouldn't be tried. It just ends up being annoying and making you either reload or miss content. If you miss the point where the "romance" flag is set that's it for that relationship. This wouldn't be true IRL, but we're not IRL, and it's silly to pretend that we are.

I hope they take some pointers from the DA team. Morrigan, Zevran, Isabela, and Solas are miles better than anything in ME romance wise.

Is not real life but heck it could at least show more natural rapport than previous games... Example, you could do something that was completely awful for Liara's or Kaidan's and with the right charisma check you could play it cool or just outright ignore it. Jack seems the only one more or less sensitive to your other actions, but otherwise its the same thing, even Solas or Sera can be convinced to bang you anyway if you do something bad in their eyes (except being an elfy elf, that apparently is too much).

 

I don't ask for a complicated dating game like the weird japanese visual novels, just that at least some decent level of rapport exist between characters instead of just "I'll select this one because I want to bang you not because I like you."

 

If not, It would be better to just go with the "say the right thing and let's bang now!" approach of The Witcher games.

As we all know some rpg gams do you romance as part of character development the big question is how will this new mass effort Game will handle it we seen Games like the witcher 3 witch hunt and of course Dragon age Origins dragon age 2 and Dragon age Inquisition handle it differently and of course let's not forget the previous mass effect games so how will romance be done in this new game will see that partial nudity from mass effect 1 or a scene like in mass effect 2 with bras and knickers on the characters during The romantic scene or will it be witcher 3 or like Dragon age Inquisition answer me What I'm hoping if they do it in a way that does not make it feel forced more mature not too raunchy but in a way that said yes this is sex in a mature way and not like porno or anything like that but in a way that shows love between two characters

There's a reason full stops and commas exist in written English. Just saying.

The Loving
I expect brief nude or semi nude scenes, but no full Monty. Let's face it, gore, decapitation, blood is fine but the love must be hypocritically "tasteful" to adhere to Puritan customs.  I mean, back in the day, they "did it" because of conjugal obligation and with the lights out and clothes on .

This stereotype never dies, does it?

Such tends to be the case with the truth

Thing is, it's not the truth. The Puritans encouraged sex...within the confines of marriage. In that context, it was considered a good thing. You can contrast that with the Catholic attitude during the same era, which treated sex as necessary evil for the continuation of the species and exalted celibacy as more moral.

If Bioware hewed to actual Puritan views on romance and sex, we'd have a rather...different experience. Certainly not the kind people think of when they hear the words "Puritan" or "puritanical".

No... you just try again. Like any other unknown consequence of a decision you make. Social interaction is super 1. annoying 2. dumb 3. forced 4. rote 5. boring 6. corny 7. cheesy... um need I go on? when you literally code it as buttons like "do this with this person" and "do that with that person."

 

No. NPC interaction should be more natural. Like I said, naturalism doesn't apply to everything in a game. Game is an evolving art with interlocking elements - some are better natural, some better less natural. Romances definitely feel better when they're natural, otherwise I'm sorry but cut it out. Cullen's romance was a horrible example, and asking Sera to leave the Inquisition was also a horrible example.

 

Don't make it horribly cryptic, and honestly, I don't think any of the romances so far have been woefully vague, unless you're completely tone deaf and don't understand when a flirt is a flirt, which is the player's problem, not the game's.

[clone wars]

I'm hoping ver will get more information about the Romance mechanics maybe during the e3 live stream or the course of the next few months because I'm looking forward to see what they Do with this but who knows we might get more information about this as the release date comes clo

[clone wars]

Do any of you think will be getting any information about the romance mechanics during E3

[clone wars]

I've watched a lot of video games do you romance with seeing how Mass effect 1 to 3 have done It differently from the mature way of showing some skin but not too to make it look like a porno movie but gives a sense of of this scene been A true romantic scene but in mass effect 2 the romance The clothing on during the Romantic scene really killed the maturity of it it felt like we were be treated like kids and mass effect 3 had made some progress with the number of romances you can do but also made no effort to mature more and plus I'm not trying to be one of those people but with one of the characters That was in the first game the male that female Shepard could only romance can now be romanced by both male and female commander Shepard I felt was a bit too out of character for that well character because if that character was like that are bisexual character that it should've been made from the first game not just in the third game and I'm hoping they learn from that not to make a character bisexual gay straight or lesbian based on a quick think it should be based on how they wish to tell this character story but I've also seen of the games handle romance in relation to the sexuality in romances differently and I'm hoping that the romance in this new mass effect game Are character romantic stories a bit better and trying not force a sexuality upon this character for instance the asari just because they can romance any gender any race doesn't mean they have to be portrayed a bisexual don't get me wrong I respect and applaud bioware for what they're doing in regards romantic equality for all and have the showing a mature way of looking at Romance is not defined by not only just between one particulars View point

[TheJediSaint]

I'm kind of hoping romances are kept firmly under wraps this time so people can be surprised when the game comes out.

[clone wars]

I'm wanting that surprise to who we can Romance but my main focus is on the mechanics of the romance the way the rematch gonna be show in regards to the character interaction and all that it's not a matter of who we can romance but in a matter of how will the i interaction of the romance will be done

Not sure if you're still around but sorry, I missed this.

 

I thought by the stereotype that never dies you were referring to "violence and gore are okay but nudity and sex are going over the line!" which is indeed an attitude a lot of people have and that makes absolutely no logical sense.

 

Myself, I prefer to call that attitude Victorian rather than Puritan

[Nocte ad Mortem]

I don't like surprises. I base whether I buy the game on day one or just wait until I've seen if I like the companions and romances. The characters are a big part of my enjoyment of these games and whether I'll like my squad and romance options determines how soon I'll bother picking up the game. Good companion friendships and romances can save an otherwise "meh" game for me, but without them it just feels bland and dry. Like Inquisition, the line up didn't impress me much, so I waited for the GotY edition. I hope we know who all the companions are (a brief description) and which ones are romances before it's too late to pre-order.

Technically the Victorians were not prudish either. See Foucault's History of Sexuality in which he deconstructs the repressive hypothesis or the stereotype of the Victorian view on sex to come to the conclusion that they were pretty obsessed with sex, especially quantifying/analyzing sexuality/sexual habits and especially with other people's sex lives.
