As a gay person who has been reading this thread, I think it has all gone too far. And I do not feel a gay relationship needs to be implemented or would be for the good of the game in ME3. Here is some of my thoughts on the issue.
- You are not Shepard. Shepard has straight relationships which I do not. However Shepard also shoots aliens with sniper rifles. I do not do this either. Its a fantasy and Shepard is a character. He is not "you". It is not that kind of RPG.
- The rumored reason for keeping Ashley, Liara and Kaiden out of ME2 in a playable aspect is so that Shepard will be involved in a love triangle come ME3. I think this would be interesting and I would like to see how it plays out.
- If I had an option to date Kaiden in ME1 then certainly I would expect it to continue (much like I expect DAO's relationships to continue. However that option was not there. Now my Shepard is and has been straight for 2 games. I would like to see his existing character developed rather than throwing in a gay option just to please people.
- The gay community as a whole is embarrassing at times. This thread is supposed to be discussion about homosexuality in ME yet every time someone (usually straight) has opposed it they have been shot down as being bigoted or small minded. If we wish to be treated equally then we have to act as though we are equal. Playing the victim does not help anyone.
Noted from this thread that when a gay person has been discriminated against then the person who did it was banned, and the thread is kept up. Yet also noticed that many of the worst culprits in this thread are gay people with the "us against them" attitude, and they are let off of such punishments. Petition threads on other subject matters are taken down. I am truly for equality, and that means that we shouldn't be treat any different because we are gay, and that not everything requires a gay scene in the way not everything requires a straight scene. I feel certain people are not helping our cause, and the length of this thread is by no means a representation of how many people want this feature. A lot of it seems to be young confused children who havent yet indulged in any relationship bashing anyone who they feel is not as open minded as them.
Personally, I see no need for it. Shepard has got him/herself involved in 2 relationships and I hope there isn't the option for a third, instead having him/her settle with their true love. Just my two cents.
Why does everyone seem not to realize all relationships are OPTIONAL. Your Shep doesn't have to get romantically linked with
anyone. His or her sexuality isn't definite, neither is gender, or personality. All of that is left up to the player. The only definites are Shep being a spectre saving the citadel and the main events that you can not change during the second game (trying to avoid teh spoilerz!). Though yes you are correct I am one of those people being offensive and I apologize. I'll refrain from doing such in the future.
And if any RPG involved the PC being only able to do what the player character could do it would be a really, really, really boring RPG and wouldn't sell worth crap. In that case DA doesn't fit and neither do any RPGs that I can think of swords, magic? Pfft. Real people can't do that.
And is this really any different from a request thread? I mean Talimance threads and Garrusmance threads are usually left alone. I always through petitions simply consisted of a bunch of people posting "signed." about a certain topic. So the nudity thread could be seen as a petition as well?
Also once again. Shep doesn't have to romance anyone and "settling down?" my Shep?
No way. He's a traveling hero destined to go whereever he is needed because he's a boyscout who can't let injustice slide. But that's MY Shepard. YOUR Shepard wants to settle down, that's fine and I hope you get the option but that shouldn't impend on mine. I'm sorry if you felt that I was pushing my opinions onto you but the fact is default Shep is not canonical. Shep is not necessarily anything other than the established facts of the series. (Which everyone should know, you were the first human spectre, saved the citadel, killed Saren (or had him kill himself), etc.)
Default Shep on the other hand is a jerk. <_< Killing Wrex is not cool not cool at all.

You only get that if you try to deliberately be offensive in every single convo with him. choosing the "No but no thanks." only nets you a -7. 
Retour en haut
But we don't get love from video games anyways.
