That's a horrible pic Ninja.


Why? Cause he's masculine?? You want the thin eyebrows and pouty lips


I was referring to the terrible quality. :innocent:
Your Shep while not as good looking as Sheploo is still pretty cute. :wizard:
Sheploo though is gorgogues. :wub:

Sadly that might end up eliminating 90% of the human race. >_>

Then again I won't have to fight over a bloody 8 dollar an hour job so. :wizard:

Agreed. I'm not playing the game for the "OMG hawt sexors", but for the chance to create and develop a character to my liking. Also, the character development is something I like in ME2.

It would be nice if ME came out in a trilogy set with the MM option unlocked. At least that way BioWare could have their cake and eat it to. (By then who honestly is going to care about the LIs?)

I was surprised that they didn't include a gay romance option in ME2 (Or Me1 for that matter). They included one in Jade Empire, and of course in Dragon Age. But of course tons of sites freaked out when they saw you "could have graphic uncensored sex with a man in Dragon AGE!!!!" (which of course you can't. Once again, the morons blow it out of proportion). But it has nothing to do with gay rights. The default shepard is a white male. That doesn't mean that Bioware is against civil liberties and women's rights. It's just a creative decision they've made. Since Bioware didn't exactly shirk away from gay romance in Dragon Age, I doubt they went without in ME2 because they were afraid of being embarrassed by the religious right. My money is on them deciding that either Male Shepard is straight, or that no male team member yet put on the normandy has been Bi-sexual.

I really don't know where to stand on this topic. Personally, if anyone played DA:O on this thread, they made Zevran a romancible character, for men and women. It doesn't occur to me why they didn't make someone like Zevran a character in ME2.

that's the only thing that irks me. Really. Liara is a discount lesbian and Kelly is pretty much a fling. So much for the days of "pushing the envelope." Eh BioWare?


Remind me when was Dragon Age released again? o.O Oh you're right, damn those conservative bioware bastards...

I really hope bioware understood when they started putting out same-sex romances that they can never apparently release a game/series without them again, without of course being turncoats.

I agree the choices would be nice, I may not pursue them but it's nice to have options. That said, they're a business and they manage to push the envelope at the same time, I don't think they're required to do so everytime, and I'm thankful for the great games they put out regardless. I really just hate to see people throw little cheap shots at them like this. They deserve better, but alas that is the way of the industry. What have you done for me lately, all that matters is today, not the very very close yesterday.

Of course because releasing to a niche market is the same thing as doing it on a far more popular scale right? :wizard: In that case PERSONA was pushing the envelope far before BioWare was (and it actually intergrated better in the plot too) :whistle:

They are a business. I never said they had to place gay relationships in anything but to say "they constantly push the envelope." is..just not true just like if the producers of Persona said that. Its...just...not...true.

Right and the very close yesterday is when they had the gay romances. :P

Anyways this is a silly argument BioWare's demographic doesn't have a high enough to make the gay romance viable. I know that already. Doesn't mean I can't wish. :crying:

To me releasing it in whatever market is the same thing, it's still their game with their name on it... the fact that the popularity is relevant just shows that people want a political statement to be made rather than just have enjoyable gaming. If all that matters is enjoyable gaming, Dragon Age having it is just as relevant as mass effect having it.

Also, I think you missed the point in the bottom part you underlined/responded to... I was mocking that way of thinking >.>, I do think what they did very recently matters as much as anything that was done in ME2.

Anyway, I think they do push the envelope, but if someones only idea of pushing the envelope is raging man on man sex... well, I having nothing to say to that >.>

To me no. The fact that they exclude M/M while place F/F (flings anyways) makes that look even worse to me. But we're not going to convince the other of our opinion.

Pushing to envolope to me would be dealing with actual societial issues (no man on man sex isn't the only thing) stuff like rape, war, genocide, sexism, religious issues, sexuality. That would be pushing the envelope ME doesn't do that. [Well it did the last one until it was neudered in the 2nd <_< )

You edit your post a lot, >.< I might have responded differently if I had seen some of the parts that weren't there before.



Anyways just wanted to add, I don't blame you for wishing. I just get tired of people bashing them over the head about this. As far as consoles go, you'd be pressed to find many companies with any games out that have m/m romances. The fact that bioware has any out, trumps most of the companies in how much they're willing to put their name on a game with that in it.

I never said there was loads of companies that did it. But I'm not even bashing them over the head about it. Frankly I wouldn't even care if there wasn't lesbians in the game. <_< Doesn't help that the lesbians seem to all be psycho or discount lesbians. :pinched: Heck I didn't expect any MM in KOTOR because it didn't fit. (Didn't help that your only choices were Carth (*gag*) or Canderous (who seems straight and even if he wasn't is so "RA RA BATTLE!" that it wouldn't make a difference) so it made perfect sense. Even in JE it was slightly surprising (Happy sort of surprise but still...) DA it fit (Zevran sleeps with anything that even looks in his direction).

The second they placed lesbians in the game without an actual lesbian relationship. (In THEIR eyes Liara somehow doesn't count? Lolwut? :huh:) earned my ire. That's the sort of half assed **** I expect in those games with women with ridculously tight/short clothes that are just fetish fuel for the average hormonal male. I thought of BioWare as better than that.

I apparently was wrong.

Hmm It's hard to know what you'd deem worthy, but I think me2 goes into genocide further than me1 did. A certain scientist who suffers from quite a lot of guilt and struggling with the costs of what he did. I also think Sexism and religion are just as much an issue as they were in the original, if not more so. Sexuality does have it's places in the game, though not on a squad mate romance level this time around. I guess I mostly feel like they deal with the issues as much as they did in the original, whether you're angry with them this time around or not... to me it just seems like they they still pushed those issues.

I don't feel like they pushed many of those issues as far as Dragon Age did, but I don't feel me1 did either.

They don't push those issues any further than most rpgs do honestly. (Though the genophage incident was really close about how the safety of the universe as a whole needs the sacrifice of a certain race and how they weren't the only ones at fault) that to me was good.

So yeah. They didn't seem to push anything to me not really. But this is all up to individual interpretation. :wizard:

The game is still considered by others to be awesomesause and I can't wait for ME3 to come out. But I'm not going to be jumping up and down to get it though.

Has there been any really bad publicity because of gay options in Dragon Age? I haven't seen much. I mean, yeah, I've seen people write about it, but I haven't seen some kind of explosion of paranoid parents who refuse to buy the games for their children ... I doubt there'd be any such explosion from gay option in Mass Effect. I mean, there was sex with ALIENS in ME1. And many more references to it in ME2. Surely that's "worse" than some male-on-male action. Not to mention all the violence and strip clubs and other stuff that could be improper for children to witness.

It's difficult to discuss this topic with Americans. There is always so much overreaction and the arguments against a gay option are so ridiculous. Honestly the story of ME2 is not very innovative. What really makes the game interesting are the members of the squad. The romances are an import means to link the player to the game.

That's not cool. What happened to gay rights?


Since when having homosexual characters in a game is a right?

It has nothing to do with americans really. I'm European and I find this standpoint of some people that think that writers should bend over twice and modify their vision of the game/characters in order to make a game more appeasing to people wanting to see some gay dry humping is utterly ridiculous.

Some games have them. You can rejoice for that. Some don't. It's not part of gay rights nor in any way required to make a game good. To put it down simply, if not being able to play gay in a game lessens your enjoyment of said game, simply don't buy it (and you should be ashamed as a gamer).

You're a minority in the vast world of gamers, and appeasing minorities isn't, thankfully, always required or warranted.

Commander Shepard will never be gay, its not because your being left out, its because thats the way the story is mate.

Gay rights have nothing to do with it, Bioware is allowed to put whatever they want in their games. Your not being left out, your simply not being included. Grow up, get over it and move on. Just roleplay a character who isn't gay.


Why not just roleplay a Shepard who IS gay but, alas, will not find anyone romanceable in ME2. :unsure:

Lol, that sounds exactly like my Male!Shep. Personally I'm more disappointed that Bioware didn't add a full same-sex
romance in ME2, but I respect their decision on not adding it because it's their game. :pinched: Heck, if they did implemented it via dlc or whatever, I'll be super duper happy! But that's my own two cents, and no one else's opinion. :)
