AFAIK, there seems to be like 500+ bugs on PC/PS4/Xbox One. They'll probably focus more on that first before even thinking of adventuring on DLC's and such :\

Too true. Follow-ups after missions always made me wonder if Gil would respond a certain way to certain things. He would always get me with the "Hey there, good looking." But nothing else. DLC's better add more but then again there are always patches and add-on's. Hopefully, given a week with all the feedback now that everyone has access to it, some will take the issues straight to Ian. His comments on the tempest, nexus and poker do update but they remain greyed out. May be a bug? Also whenever he says that line my game seems to swoon as hard as i do because the screen blacks out for a few seconds. I guess we'll just have to wait for the devs to say something about this. IF they do so (which I hope). Where is he on the Nexus? So far, I've only seen him on that Vortex Club or something like that. Your screen monitor is gay too!

Not sure if this was already posted but hey, I found this on youtube today. Still the same issues, tho. Pretty much the entire romance so you can understand my frustration. Only thing that sort of, (but not really), balances it out even more are the messages you receive on your private email from Gil. I'm also upset about this too. He still lacks a lot of content 'cause he's pretty much "story gated" to main missions and the only times you have to interact with him outside of that is the Poker scene and the Friend scene, which are listed as "missions"

I really don't have any interest in waiting 5+ years for a chance of ME team giving gay men the content we deserve, but I'm still not in total favor of Bi Jaal. They fucked up, and they can't fix it. I just hope that, once they do decide to say something about this, they don't bring the same old excuse "we'll do better next time" because we already waited 5 years for this game. We don't want to wait another 5 for something that should have been done in this game now

Just found this video up on youtube. 19 minutes long... And he still has no new dialogue between missions, you can't interact with him as much as with Reyes, he still lacks content when compared to other characters and the "fade-to-black" BS is still there as well...

Some people think that because of being gay, we're all sluts and that we must have the "D" And this tweet also just makes things worse. My salt mines are reaching maximum levels at this point. Link

Was it part of the main plot, some task thing you had to do or something like that? I'm not sure if it was part of the main plot or some side thing. But I was on Kadara and I had to find a piece of Kett tech, I forget what it was, like a data pad or something. The squadmates said it wasn't working and then the game prompted me to see Gil about activating it. He did, and then the Archon (I think) started talking through the device. Then Gil was like "Oh shit, turn it off!"
Ugh, I wish there was a way to hug that worried little teddy bear whenever we wanted. I'm still pissed as hell that we aren't given that much content with Gil. Hell, if you're not giving us a gay/bissexual male squadmate this time around, at the very least give Gil (and Suvi) more content to make up for it. But nooo, sidelined yet again -.-

So last night I gave Gil Some Kett tech that he needed to activate, and again he was scared!
"Are you sure we want to do this?" "I knew coming to Andromeda would be dangerous, but this is...dangerous.."
Why was there no flirt option to comfort him here?!?!
My Scott should have totally been able to put and arm around him and tell him not to worry!
*Rage* Was it part of the main plot, some task thing you had to do or something like that?

If I tried to romance Cora this early, is it still possible to romance Peebee without 'complications'? If not, I think I will wait for Peebee. The last thing I want is the whole Tali / Jack fiasco happening again... That was awkward The way the game is now, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if that fiasco thing happened again x)

Well gosh, destroy all my hopes and dreams why won't you. All I'm saying that after two gay humans who've been pretty much garbage compared to everyone else, I'd welcome a gay alien. And a gay alien doesn't exclude bi humans being in the crew/squad. Just being pragmatic, dear. There's no room for hopes and dreams at this point. That ended when the curtains came down and the sad state of M/M was laid bare for everyone to see. Hope will come back once they prove that they are making concerted efforts to improve the situation. You're EVUL xD I'm keeping a small shread of hope with me, tho. That's why I haven't asked for a refund yet, kinda want to give them a last chance to see how they're going to deal with all this.

I went and picked up the strategy guide while running errands, and seeing Gil's romance breakdown at the back of the book compared to everyone else's (besides Suvi who is similarly limited in content) is kind of sad. "Conversation Rounds" are listed below each character pertaining specifically to their romances. Cora has 15Peebee has 10Vetra has 10Liam has 9Jaal has 8Suvi has 6And my poor baby Gil has 5*Weeps* Lol, even Suvi as the other crew romance has more despite there already being two lesbian options on the squad. I'm so unimpressed I can't even be arsed to dig up that tweet where they say they're very happy with the specifics of m/m content. Here it is. At least, I think it's this one you're referring to x)

I know right? One would expect the crewmances to have as much content as some of the others, but nope. What a slap on the face this was

But it is content though. I've heard him talk a lot more (I don't know if it randomises ambient dialogue?) he even commented on the pet pyjak. Better will always be subjective. I like Reyes too but he practically doesn't exist outside of Kadara whereas Gil is always around. So I couldn't dedicate a playthrough to him. I know I could have a tryst with him but it would feel hollow and as I said I play an emotional Scott. It is content but it's content that does NOT address a lot of the problem with Gil, his story, his romance... so really, it's not much content at all. And it's sad, but Reyes' content will be much more enticing than Gil's in the end, because it's sensible and it works. They did Gil wrong, so wrong. I do have to agree with what "witchcocktor" said. Even if it is content, it doesn't play that much of a role in his storyarc and romance in general. Despite Reyes not being with us on the Tempest, we can interact with him a lot more on Kadara than Gil because at the end of the day, Gil doesn't have new dialogue lines after missions - only after certain priority ones (which doesnt help either). Lack of content is a problem that affected, sadly, the 2 crewmances (Gil and Suvi)

I finaly progressed some more by ignoring side content and it's really Gil hands down versus Reyes. Reyes is nice, but it's literally microscopic presence in the scope of the game compared to Gil (let alone the squadmates). Reyes' romance really is just an extended fling no matter how you dress it up, clearly added once they realized not only there was no m/m squadmate romance but the gay guys literally had 1 option on top of that. Plus, Gil's just more interesting to me personally, got a lot more going on and the romance is much more exciting. Yeah, I haven't met Reyes at all, but the fact that he's not even on the ship, and it's taking forever to even meet him, and then everything can be completed with him in one sitting apparently, it just doesn't seem like something I would dedicate a whole playthrough for. The only way I would do Reyes' romance is if I did it while also romancing Gil. But I could never cheat on Gil, so I don't think I'll do Reyes' romance. Plus the knowledge that his dance with Scott is just inferior and crappier with Scott than with Sara's just sours the whole thing for me. Gil's no squadmate, obviously, but at least he's there from the beginning and can be talked to. I like to talk to Gil about one or two topics and leave the rest for later, just to spread his content out even more. I wish he was given more attention and time by the devs. *Sigh.* Yeah, me too. And I'm still not forgetting this tweet, which in itself is pretty much a slap in the face to some of us :\ twitter.com/transfenris/statuses/841449762805157893

Dear Bioware,
For a long time I’ve admired the way you continued to push some boundaries regarding game development and creating such massive worlds with a great cast of characters and compelling storylines for both Mass Effect and Dragon Age is indeed an impressive feat. I’d like to thank you for giving me one of the best gaming experiences that I’ve ever had in my gaming years by far.
You may not realize this but your games have made such a positive impact on so many people’s lives by adding gay/bissexual characters in both franchises over these past few years. I was struggling with coming into terms with my own sexual orientation and never really had someone to look up to or even someone to talk to about it. But then Mass Effect 3 came out at the time and I got the chance to roleplay a gay main character that could romance one of the best characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to get to know during the course of the Milky Way Trilogy: Kaidan Alenko. To see him portrayed in such a light, him being a queer romance option, was so important to me because it showed me that there’s nothing wrong with having feelings for another man, and that we all deserve to be loved and cared about.
It made me feel that I mattered – which is a great message to send to all of your LGBT fans out there.
However, I can’t say the same for Mass Effect Andromeda. It looks like the Bioware I cared about and trusted the most, the company that I got to know over the years had seemingly taken two steps back instead of one forward by the way gay and bissexual male characters were treated in this newest entry to the franchise. I do appreciate your effort in trying to make this game as LGBT-friendly as possible but that doesn’t make up for the fact that in Andromeda we don’t have the same equal treatment as the straight audience already has – something that was promised to us multiple times during this game’s development stage.
As I’m roleplaying a gay Scott Ryder, there’s only 2 options available for me to choose from: Gil Brodie and Reyes Vidal. Both have considerably less content than our squadmates - whether in terms of animation or even regarding their storylines in general. Gil, for example, doesn't have new dialogue lines for him after missions, and he has less banter than some of the other characters. Several animation scenes from Reyes’s romance shows that it was made with Sara Ryder in mind – with almost no extra modifications that could make Scott fit way more smoothly into this route.
The way it comes across to me, and to several other fans as well, is that so much more attention, effort and care was given to characters like Cora, Peebee and Jaal and all we end up with were two NPC romance options that are censored to some degree and severely lack content. It’s almost like we don’t get to have the same kind of experience as the rest of your audience.
I sincerely hope that this feedback shows you that, despite being upset about this entire controversy, we do care about Mass Effect and that we only want to see it grow and become a place of acceptance, a franchise that everyone in the world can enjoy to its fullest potencial, regardless of the player’s sexual orientation.
Best regards, VFerreira93, a LGBT fan.

I said this the other night, but it bears repeating. There are several reasons why they aren't going to change/restore Jaal's sexuality. It looks like they changed their minds about Jaal fairly early on. We only had the code. They'd still have to do animation (since Scott has a different body,) dialogue, dialogue trees and get the voice actors back in. We never found the audio files for a Scott/Jaal romance, so they'd likely have to record them. VAs tend to stay very busy and usually have to have contracts for their work. So that would be a lot time, money and work to change/restore Jaal. Those resources would take away from ME:A DLC as well as any other future projects. Also, this will likely set up a very nasty prescient for BioWare. Most players neither know nor care what the datamined code has to say. If the ME:A changed Jaal now, it would most likely be seen as BioWare giving into fan demands to change a character's sexuality. "Patch this character's sexuality!" It would be a Pandora's Box that they really shouldn't open. Since they have stated many times that they aren't going the all-bi route again, they've got to stick to their guns here. It sucks, but we have to deal with it. Don't mistake me. I was damned near convinced that Jaal would be bisexual after seeing the code. I'd still want him to be bi and I think he would work as a bisexual character. Sadly, I don't think that's going to happen this time. As far as an explaination, be prepared for the same reaction that they had about Cullen being straight. "We tried it and it didn't work for the character. It didn't make sense for him to be bisexual." Cuz you know, us bisexuals have to be special and totally make sense in order to exist. We aren't just people like anyone else. Yes, I am a little bitter. Why do you ask? Sassy as ever. Do not change at all, seriously xD P.S - Sent you a pm a few hours ago regarding the open-letter subject. Don't know if you received it.

Hey guys. Do you happen to know where the devs stated that both squadmates and crewmates would get the same amount of content / equality? I know I read it somewhere but I can't quite remember where. Might have happened on Twitter or something. And apparently Mrs. Patricia from Kotaku answered to my email, yay
