Yeah... Look identity politics are important for our time but some people (Tumblr sometimes be an epicenter for this) take any perceived slight against their demographic to be part of some bigoted conspiracy or intentional snubbing and marginalization. Suddenly Bioware's constant attempts and statements about diversity are entirely forgotten and they become the Evil Empire that hates them personally. It's a social phenomenon I've seen more and more of(especially with gamers) and I don't see it going away, unfortunately. Bioware's not an evil empire... but they fuck up more than a little bit, and actions speak louder than words. Particularly when "diversity" is such a valuable buzzword.

So far I'm not into the Cora romance. I hear she is the "hot romance" and I'd prefer a more sweet romance.
But hey. If two male humans are being hidden still maybe there is a female that will interest me more.

So there's a female Angara romance. Please be the one from the trailer when we first see Jaal. She's pretty important! I hope she is one! Wait there's info already out? Time for me to start doing some digging.

It's awesome how all these people are suddenly in here whining about how the gays are so aggressive, but they're the only ones bitching. lol Not aggressive, whinny, and some people were being whinny about the fact that Liam was straight on here. I was even lectured on it. You mean like all the straight guys whining everywhere about Sera being a lesbian? It's not a orientation problem, it's just people being disappointed and getting over the disappointment. They don't need people tell them how they should accept it or how it reflect the real world and things like that. It just sounds very patronizing. I don't see much complaining over Liam being straight anymore, just as when "Kelly" revealed to be a lesbian ( Which is my assumption which could be someone else), people will be upset, I just wouldn't lecture them either.

Everything I've seen about Cora makes her my prime romance Oh, cool choice. What's your favorite aspects you've seen so far? Seeing how she'll go from hating the fact that we're pathfinder to loving us, her looks, the fact that she's a vanguard ( I love playing vanguards), and how chill she seems to be

Okay, let's try this again. thesupremedarkone So, since this is the romance thread and you are far from the only straight guy in here, which romance looks best to you? Let's put aside any bickering or claims of who said what. Personally, I think Liam and Jaal look the most appealing to me so far. My reaction to Peebee is "Oh great, another asari." Not just any asari, an asari with eyebrows. ooooooooooh

Fine, I'll take all of the asari so that you don't have to look at them. And you can have... humans and the cat guy, I suppose. You sound a little defensive here. I don't hate the Asari, but I'm not all that into the race. In fact, I can't think of a single ME race that I outright hate. I'm just not that into them as LIs.

Compared to all other Asari we've seen Peebee feels like a new breathe of fresh air tbh I still detect too much Sera in her which is any Sera in her admittedly As a Sera fan I take great umbrage with this attack against her wonderful character!!! In all seriousness though Sera, whether you lover or hate her, at least got an emotional reaction from players. People talk and argue about her. I'd much prefer a character I'm actually able to remember years from now than some generic archetypal piece of cardboard that bored me into almost completely forgetting them. Looking at you Jacob and half the cast of Fallout 4.

Space Magic and an all-nighter which I spent mostly playing the game and only remembering I can get some info like 2 hrs ago. Ummm. I'm afraid I can't since this info is scattered, no "all options on one screen". Also, only Jaal, Vetra and Aya_relic are in "rest" because I can assume they are post-trial content (some of Vetra starting points, not all of them, some are... already available, I guess?). Will this do? Those are from "early" folder, file is the same. Suvi (only has is_female line) Liam (only has is_female line) Cora (only has is_male line) And can you please spare me with Gil and Peebee? File is too big and I can't remember what Gil's devname is. And Peebee is obvious. Is it tech officer? I could be wrong but when I saw that I thought that could be him, in "early". I couldn't find tech_officer, chief_engineer, or Gil either.

So now that the early access and datamining have begun, I think it's time for me to go dark. I've enjoyed the discussions that I've had with everyone in this thread and hope to return to some of them once I've finished my first playthrough of the game. Thanks to everyone for making the wait for release go quicker. Have fun.

Even in real life, some people attract more to certain ethnicities or skin colors. I don't see how it's so strange, people may not like Asari.

I still can't breathe easy until I see more files, but I will feel much better romancing him now knowing my friends aren't in pain. I was seriously going to avoid him with how things were getting.

Looking at you Jacob and half the cast of Fallout 4. I agree with that too an extent. Sera doesn't really fit with the tone of DAI and doesn't make much sense. What too secret huge organization would take her into the inner circle? Red Jenny''S basically raised her and are all a bit crazy but there is no way any of the inquisitors advisors would want her around. Every time she was around it just took me out of the game. I don't hate her character, but I hate her being where she is in the game. I'd rather her be a messenger than a party member and then I'd be fine (she'd still annoy me but she wouldn't break my immersion) I'd PeeBee annoys me as much as Sera, it's different. I'm not taking her into my top secret organization despite her being crazy and any secrets we discover together will happen AFTER we become good friends whereas it was the other way around for Sera.

Physically, there is nothing wrong with them. I like my ladies a little on the smaller size chest wise, but that's a minor nitpick. It's more about the general attitude of the race and their political leaders that makes me a little "meh" on them. I look forward to seeing what you and others think of PeeBee though.
