I really do wonder why everyone who says 'Their sudden attraction to Shepard will be abrupt and forced and ruin the game!' are not at all bothered by Garrus and Tali.
I just have to wonder when in Mass Effect 1, Garrus and Tali talked about how dreamy Shepard was.

Did anyone else catch Kasumi's reference to Kelly on the Normandy? Her initial thoughts about Kelly? I detected a distinctly lesbian subtext to that, is Ray Muzyka aware of it? If he wants to de-gay-ify Mass Effect, he's going to have to be a lot more thorough in his review of the content that gets released. We all know a woman wouldn't make a pass at another woman in the Mass Effect world, unless there was some spurious loophole like 'asari' or 'fling' to exploit. Too bad I don't have Cooper Lawrence on speed-dial...

A chick in a vaccuum-sealed bodysuit, for whom Shep was a two-year science project, is totally willing to jump MShep, and the edgy killer biotic god can only be healed by his mystical wang. No fewer than 3 sexy blue chicks in the series so far are interested in Shep, though only one of them is willing and safe to have sex with. And all of this happens when Shep's trying to save the galaxy, twice. None of this crap is remotely plausible, except in the fantasies of adolescent males. But very few people complain about any of that.
Lulz.
Seriously, I weeping with laughter here. Thank you.

There's that 'realism' argument, again. Why does it keep coming up? It's not like the game itself is realistic or balanced in the way people seem to think represesntation of sexual orientation should be.
There's is no way, shape, or form in which my Shepard should ever be enough of a Paragon or Renegade to get the crew I had in ME2 working together. No way in hell. But nobody complains about that because, to a degree, it's what they expect - a crew with polar opposite components that should, by all rights, kill each other (literally, since you're almost guaranteed to have at least one or two people entirely supportive of I-feel-like-it homicide), working together because of the Power of Plot.
No fewer than three aliens find Shepard sexually attractive, two of whom are incompatible with Shep at the molecular level.

No. Instead, people complain about 'political correctness' and the idea that more than one of the existing crew could possibly be gay or bi, because 'that isn't realistic.' Given the stretches of character compatibility presented in ME2 alone, I could ask that every crew member be willing to sleep with nearly everyone except their requisite nemesis and it still wouldn't be any more unrealistic than anything else going on in the game.
Straight romances are included because Bioware considers romances an important component of the gameplay in their titles, and people enjoy them. Not because 'Tali and Jacob are way straight' and need a story outlet to express it, but because romances are a component of the gameplay. Well, same sex romances are also enjoyed by gamers - bisexual, gay, and straight - for a variety of reasons. They should be included not because it's 'politically correct' to do so, but because inclusiveness is a net positive, bisexual and gay people should not be treated as invisible, and diversity and choice enrich the game experience for everyone. There is no reason not to include s/s romance because there's no story-driven reason to include straight romance alone - there is no impact that the straight romances have on the story that same-sex ones would or could not.
Genius, I am friending you just because of this post

Good on you
On the subject of Liara returning, of course this will make loads of people happy, and I really hope her romance is continuable, even though I never pursue it.
(I'm a Kaidan girl through and through, for my femShep and manShep (only, manShep has to 'put the mission first' since the opportunity for them to express their love never arises).)
It's important there is a m/m option this time around, else these boards will no doubt explode more so than ever before!

Back to the discussion in hand.
I was away for a while, and the thread grew by about 100 pages in my absence. Can anyone sum up for me the arguments on implementation of s/s?
Last time I was here I stated I was against it being treated any differently to the way current romance options are handled, and that all that needed addressing was the current problems with ninja'ing, with not being able to let someone down easily (rectifiable via not having ninja'ing in the first place), and the ability to forge friendships with people instead of 'sex-or-nothing'.
