(M/M Romance) Should I wait before playing?

I can't say for sure, but the pessimist that I am, I think they are going to alter content, instead of add it. Maybe some slight, tiny things added, but yeah. The game isn't going anywhere, so I totally think you should wait nevertheless, even if it's just altering content rather than adding it.

I've heard about Gil's romance, but haven't fully spoiled myself, as with everything about the game. Gil's reception seems to be mixed, and while I agree that from what I've heard, the baby thing sounds a bit ridiculous, I also heard you can steer the relationship away from becoming fathers. Depending on how natural I feel the relationship develops, I may or may not agree to the baby thing.

If I ever do decide to play a second time, I will be aiming for Reyes, or Jaal in the unlikely event they make him bi.

It looks like I'm leaning toward waiting... Which sucks, given I've already been waiting five freaking years lol.

You disappoint me, Bioware.

As I've said, I definitely don't plan on multiple runs, arguably even a second. If I do, it won't be for a very, very long time, hence why I'm so unsure if I should wait or not.

If only Bioware was more detailed in telling us what they intend to do.

You can still get it and make saves in between each romance arc without needing a 2nd playthrough. You can really time out both romance arcs to be close to each other so you can just finish one and reload a save before it to pick the other one. So in the event they get more content you just reload a save. That's how I did it anyways. Now if you rather wait for a possible Jaal that's another story.

Yep, I doubt they will make significant changes like... adding more options, or creating Cora-level sex scene. I think maybe just fixes in the animation or probably more emails will be more realistic expectation.

I recall seeing a picture posted somewhere here on the forums with an updated version of Gil and Scott following the most recent patch. It showed the entirety of Gil's backside and Scott beneath him, looking like he was/ about to spread his legs... I try hard af to avoid spoilers, but kind of glad I caught that one after hearing the previous sex scene complaints.



I've heard mostly good (in the Gil forum) and some bad about Gil, the negative seeming to stem from the Jill and baby thing. Hopefully waiting will have been worth it for me, because I am itching to play, but will make it easier on myself tomorrow when I buy the new pokemon game lol... Should settle my gaming thirst for a few weeks, at least.

I won't know if I'll enjoy Gil's romance or if I'll feel like you and some others, and find it creepy and awkward until the improvements have been announced... And maybe by then, if we're lucky, it'll no longer be considered creepy or awkward by anyone.

I googled Kadara's placement in the game and it seems like you don't get there and meet Reyes until near the end. My plan was to casually build up a relationship with both Gil and Reyes and ultimately choose who to becomes "locked" with when I had to. Seeing as Reyes is so late in the game I don't know if I want to RP someone who strings Gil along for so long just to set sights on someone else, hence why I'm more or less aiming for his romance alone.

Also, PSSST! I never post in forums... New to it and all. Could anyone tell me how I include people's name and date info within quotes?

Kadara comes in the middle, at least it feels that way for me, because I explored all planets but the last one before proceeding with the main story. The problem with Reyes is not the waiting, it is that as far as I know you cannot visit with him after you are done with Kadar's main story and he does not have dialogues after two major plot points (which moved the party romance forward). I assume that Gil does. I still chose to wait until there is something specific from Bio in respect to what exactly they mean before a run with a male lead.

(Shrug) that game is broken is an exaggeration of a mole hill to Everest proportions. I don't like it that BioWare is holding back on saying what is going happen with M/M romances, but the game is playable, and worth a run with one female, one male, doing the opposite choices on quests and dialogues. There are certainly no choices to female options.

Same, though I am thinking I might give a shot to a straight male lead if I finish F!Ryder too soon, and MP is not enough. If by the time I am on Kadara there is still no info, I will decide then if I am finishing or waiting again. I'd really would like Reyes to be my canon male lead romance. But well, Cora or Vetra can be interpreted as plot important as well, though Reyes is better imo, because he is from the new Galaxy set up, not your crew.

There is always the first time. I never played males till I did, and I like it. It's different, and I find I make choices that make very different chars then females. Might be very artificial or unrealistic, but it's my videogame, and I don't invite others to watch, lol.

Don't expect new animations; they would have to shoot new voice work lines and spend money on animators. All you can hope is they received enough hit to not shit on M/M options again in the sequel.
