I do it because I want to see Bioware's work, being so narrowly focused on one aspect of the game doesn't do Bioware justice imo

Ok I understand what you guys are saying, that you are just doing it for the story.



but why are the romance threads regarding the male characters so long?! the ones about garrus and thane. there's quite a lot of posts that are like "garrus is so adorable/cute" or w/e, and most of those are posted by straight males!



yet i cant imagine what is going through the head of somebody who posts those things yet are not attracted to men..

Do you have to like murdering puppies in real life to play an evil character in games?

Well if they are going on about how cute they are, they are probably either women or gay. There's plenty of women on here.

OP, there's this thing called an opinion. You see, everyone has one. And, brace yourself, they may differ from yours.



...



Now that you've put your socks back on, don't ask such a silly question.



You don't need to be gay to pursue a fictional relationship in a game with a male, if you're playing a female avatar. Especially in a cinematic game like Mass Effect - You play the role of your character. You're not playing yourself. It's up to you to apply your own values to your character, but please recognise that some people have a more open mind and can explore the literary narrative from any perspective - Not just from their own.

Many of the people who do post in those threads are attracted to men!

Many straight guys who are confident in their sexuality (...and probably some who aren't, which is awesome too) play the games as fem!Shep, and have no problem with the romances. Thane, Garrus, Kaiden, Jacob are all characters in ME, and like all things, they have their stories. Someone who really wants the full picture of ME will play and romance them to see how that goes and what each part of the story is. They might pop in to those threads, too, to note 'I thought that part was cool/sweet', just like you'll find people only attracted to guys talking about how they thought the Tali romance was cute or Jack's tears were very emotional.

You are, however, underestimating the amount of female players on this forum. There are more woman on the internet then one thinks: a large portion simply don't talk about it to avoid being harassed or getting 'PROVE IT WITH PIX PLZ' nonsense. I can guarantee you that the majority of fan-fiction written for this games is from female writers, certainly, and it's probably similar with art. Bioware's forums are a lot kinder then many other gaming forums (most on which, I go by the handle 'Mikey' and avoid all conversation of gender... heck, I would have done it on this forum if I hadn't made an account when I was like, 14 or something ;; feh). So, yeah, a lot of people doing the 'Garrus is so adorable~!' are just like the people going 'Tali is so adorable~!', only they're gals instead of guys. And if you read those threads for long enough, at least one third of them are people doing some good old fashioned trolling, anyway.

So I guess if you're a dude and you read a book with a female hero and she 'romances' a dude in the book, then you MUST be gay. Only a gay guy would read a book about a female hero that has romantic scenes with men, right?



Moron.



Why are there so many f***ing idiots on this message board? Seriously... moths are to flame as idiots are to message boards.

[The Demonologist]

I reckon there are alot more gay and women folk on this website than you give it credit for, OP.



I'm looking at you, Gay Wardens. You still deserve a high five for the epic group name.

[BitBasher]

I'm straight, married, have two kids, and I played both a guyshep and a femshep. I played guyshep like a macho testosterone bag. I played femshep like a badass estrogen bag. When you play an RPG, the keyword "R" is ROLE playing. Last time I checked, I haven't in real life killed anyone, flown a space ship, blowup entire colonies, or pressed "RELOAD" when I die.



Even though I played both fem and guy sheps pretty much the same way, each voice actor added nuances to the part that made each slightly different and added to the color of play through.



But I still think femshep delivers the "because it's a big stupid jellyfish" line (ME1) better than guyshep. It's because of subtle differences like that that us RPGers try out different play styles.

[SiGGy1987]

I think they're freaks too OP, you ain't alone.

[xSHAD0WENx]

umm men playing femshep and all that for other men.

[Adamski_707]

Im a guy and i always play as a male first then switch gender i did it in ME1 i did it in DAO and now i did it in ME2.



I like seeing the difference it makes. A friend of mine only plays female and his reason i want to enjoy looking at my character. =P

i read a lot of posts on this forum about ppl romancing garrus or jacob or w/e, and i'm wondering how many of those ppl are guys? it just seems kind of .. gay.. if youre a man and you play a female character so you could sweet talk another man into bed. 

so does this forum just have a disproportional amt of females compared to other gaming forums or ... what? whats going on..

I am a guy, i played Femshep, there is nothing wrong romancing male characters because i do not envision myself blowing jacob or french kissing thane but rather my character is the one doing those acts.

Thats like watching a movie with a female lead and you hope she ends up with thie guy or that guy.

[Ryzaki]

You do realize OP that the guy who voices M!Shep roleplayed a woman right?



Gotta love Irony. XD

[caradoc2000]

I am male, and I always play both genders (roughly 50/50) in all my games. Likewise, I do the available romances as well.



Personally, I think this is an integral part of role playing, and I don't consider it odd any more than I consider playing different alignments odd.

wow HOW AM I IGNORANT?

i alrdy said i have nothing against gay ppl

i just dont see why a STRAIGHT MAN attracted to WOMEN AND NOT TO MEN would want to roleplay as a female to flirt AGRESSIVELY with other men! I've seen the youtube videos, you rly do flirt aggressively!

am i the only one who sees how ridiculous that is?

It is called roleplaying. You know? One of the major parts of the game.
