Willing to do everything? Hardly. If a character were romancable by both male and fem shep half you guys would have no clue til you started a file as fem Shep. Simply put. It wouldn't change who the character is to you. At least I hope it wouldn't. There may be some of you who would say "I had no idea she swung both ways" Well guess what, on that matter, everyone makes constant acts of assumption daily. There are so many variable to what makes someone like someone else. It's compelling ground to explore, not something to shy away from. Especially given BWs progressive attitude on the subject in the past. You don't care because it doesn't affect you, but think of the first time you saw two videogame characters share a truly intimate moment. Wasn't it kinda cool to see that? I experienced nothing like that til my fem shep kissed Liara in the original Mass Effect.NuclearBuddha wrote...

Writing something out of someone's character shows a distinct lack of imagination and realism in my opinion. i know someone who was striaght for forty years before coming out, proof if any were needed that things such as sexuality cannot be 'written out' of anyone.
I see your point but i believe that even the creators of art can dorp the ball at times (looking at you, George Lucas) and this is one of them.
Emphasis mine.
Wait a minute, so every character must be capable of and willing to do everything? Good thing they all look different, otherwise it would be hard to tell them apart. Maybe that's not what you're trying to say, but that's preposterous.
I'm neutral on this whole same-sex thing (who cares?) but the writers are free to give their characters whatever kind of limitations, personal codes, or whatever that they desire.
Also Garlador. It's kind of a cop out to tell me to play an older Bioware game. Mass Effect isn't Bioware's game. It's MINE. My Shepard. My reasons, my motivations. And I'm glad some of you agree with me.
See above, please.
I was commenting on what looked like moth protesting character individuality.
My opinion the matter of romance can be disregarded, I think, because I got what I wanted and thus have no place in accusing anyone of sour grapes.
However, I will say that the writers at BW, like all writers everywhere, have no obligation to please everyone. They, again, like all writers everywhere, have some level of general approval they strive for, and they make their decisions accordingly. Because we cannot write the game ourselves, we are forming an agreement with them when we play that we will go along with what they have offered.
If we do not like it, we can stop (I've ragequit a couple of games and several books for things that angered or repusled me). We can complain. But demanding that they do differently is, in my opinion, bad form. They're only following whatever personal or commercial guidelines they have.
