Right now I'm kind of hoping Liam will be bi just so I don't have to be associated with the more rabid elements of Jaal's fanbase. I feel for the sane Talimancers. Yeah, obsessive fanbase is something that can make me hate the game or certain character. I remember they turned my favourite game, Assassin's Creed 2 to something I despise, because of weird, romance fanbase that my (former) friends were a part of. Fangirling like little kids on Justin Bieber's concert and childish attitude while creating some romance stuff within AC world made me abandon this series completely. I can't like something, while I know such people like the same thing. I noticed this strange attitude with some people in Jaal's thread. That's why I'm avoiding that place right now. Because I don't want to hate Jaal for having rabid fanbase like that.

Maybe there is a squadmate romance after all? I don't want to get my hopes up, but it would be strange of him to say that if it was just Gil and Reyes. I'm afraid he's talking about female squadmates only. I want to be wrong so badly...

Some folks are really digging the looks of Gil Brodie and you go and say that. Yeesh. Just a little bit douchy. I'm judging, but hey. I'm sure God hit the random CC on you too. Uncalled for. Really. People can criticize Gil's looks if they want to, as long as they aren't rude to other people. I have no idea why some people here are so aggressive towards those who just don't like how Gil looks like.

Are we still assuming that brown-skinned guy and pale redhead (daveliam's leak) are Reyes and Gil? Because now I'm thinking that brown-skinned one is Gil. He's definitely not pale judging from recent gameplay and polish journalist description of Gil. (daveliam's leak: This guy was a pale redhead guy with "five o'clock shadow and an Alistair hairstyle") I would prefer Gil to be pale redhead, though :/

I totally dont get this "IT HAS TO BE A SQUADMATE ROMANCE OR IT DOESNT COUNT!" mentality. Cullen wasnt a squadmate, and it didnt lessen his romance at all. I've seen people claim it was only good because we had 2 other games of Cullen to build his character, but pretending like DA3 Cullen had anything in common with the previous iterations of Cullen is like pretending DA2 Anders had anything in common with DA:A Anders. It was explained why we want squadmate romance like 10000 times.

What is everyone's purchasing stance? I've decided I won't buy the game immediately if I learn that Gil is the only full m/m romance. I just won't do it. I will buy it later. Maybe this won't have any impact at all. But I'll not give them that single extra sale number the night of release. Same here. I won't buy ME:A if we won't get bi/gay squadmate. I was thinking about Jaal, specifically. Making him hetero still makes no sense for me, since we never had any gay/bi alien. They won't get my money for doing this. If Gil turns out to be a normal, nice guy, won't be sassy or stereotypical (if he's gay), then maybe, MAYBE I will buy it, but long after release.

Scott is sooo adorable and has lovely, sweet eyes, I have no idea why Jaal would choose Sara over him (if he's hetero).
I think I will play as default even if the character creator turns out to be as good as DA:I. Gonna edit Sara's face, though ugh

Is it just me or has the same discussion been going on for 100+ pages now? Bioware tries to make realistic people, and sometimes that means that a character you like won't return your affection - which sucks, I understand. I am not saying that their shouldn't be as many gay romances as straight ones or that what you want is wrong (personally I completely understand), but I feel bad for Bioware because this is something they can't win. The only way to make everyone happy is to make every romance player-sexual - like in DA II. Personally I am completely fine with this, but I also saw the uproar it caused when all in DA II were romancable by both genders. No matter what they do, someone will be dissapointed, outraged or feel stepped on. The only way to avoid this is by having a "will you allow same-sex relationships?" button, and I don't see anyone responding well to that idea. Realistic? It's a friggin video game. It isn't real life. And because it isn't real life, I'm using games to escape reality. Now I won't be able to do this.

Interesting. During Inquisition's launch, everyone was at Bioware's throats. "How dare you reveal too much! We're getting too much info! Too many streams and Twitch and demos, now we know everything including romances, it's just no fun!" Now Bioware's getting the same flack for the exact opposite reason. YOU CANNOT WIN I remember the BSN during that time. If this sentiment existed, it was rather minor. And this is no more than a straw-man argument anyway.Personally, I think that it's less the marketing and more about ME:A itself. I haven't really seen anything that made me excited about ME:A. It's either stuff I have a negative opinion about, or just generic unexciting elements that likely won't be enough to make ME:A anything more than yet another average/mediocre game. I don't even remember people complaining about getting too much info. And hey, if someone wants a surprise, maybe just simply avoid any reveals and trailers and leave them to people who want to know what they're buying? Right now I can't buy ME:A because I simply don't know what to expect. I need more reveals.

Sorry, due to my extreme excitement I misread a few things. Gil has cooper skin, not copper hair. Direct translation from Petroshenko: Engineer Gil looks like an average human male from previous installements - at least that was my first impression. He's well built (though not as good as James Vega), in addition to that he's got a square jaw and short hair a la Alistair/Cullen. What makes him more distinct is his copper skin color (though he's American/European, judging by his looks and manner) Might be the darker skinned guy with Scott from the leak. Ew, that complicates everything. So dark-skinned m/m guy from the leaks is actually Gil? Who's that redhead guy then? Not Reyes, because he seems to be Hispanic (judging by his accent and name). I'm so counfused...

Nothing more than a brief mention, but: Let's get to what is really the most important ship in a series of Mass Effect , or the crew. I have already mentioned that the average age seems to be lower than in Normandy - nay, even to go so far to say that almost all of the persons on board the impression of potential candidates for romance . From the handsome engineer Gil, the redheaded pilot (nawigatorkę?) Suvi and taking care of the infirmary asari Lexi, the greater part of our team - is who tear. Of course, no one no one is forced to choose dialogue options with the icon hearts, but it's hard not to shake his head, realizing that the vessel has no "elders" (beyond the aforementioned krogan).I wonder what nawigatorkę means, on a side note. Anyone speak Polish? Just navigator.

Being the fussy boy who always needs a direct quotes and sources that I am, I went down and tracked the Hassler's info www.gry-online.pl/S043.asp?ID=14253732&N=1#post0-14257543Good chap Hassler misread a few things in extreme excitement So we got some corrections to do. Gil doesn't have copper hair, the author of the article talks about copper skin. Direct translation of the quote: "Engineer Gil looks like an average human male from previous installements - at least that was my first impression. He's well built (though not as good as James Vega), in addition to that he's got a square jaw and short hair a la Alistair/Cullen.

(posted this in Gil's thread, gonna post here, because we need ANY INFORMATION regarnind romance) I've got further details on Gil's appearance from guy who described him as ,,handsome'' (in this polish article) He says Gil looks like an average human from previous Mass Effect games (meh). That was his impression when he first saw him anyway. He's well-built (but he's less muscular than James Vega). He's got square jaw and short hair just like Cullen/Alistair. And he has very distinctive copper hair (daveliam was right!) not really much, but... it's something Wasn't it Daveliam who also told us some stuff about Suvi and Vetra? I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same person... I believe Daveliam provided some information regarding Gil, m/m dark-skinned male, bi PeeBee and romance scenes (details) with JaalxSara and ScottxCora. Perhaps the person you are talking about is Gaycaravaggio?

To bring this back to romance talk.. since this seems important to some: hands up those for LIs hairstyle is dealbreaker! Or is to completely non-issue to you?Personally, I don't think it's very high in the list. I have many things I prioritize over hair on LIs, though of course I have preferences. Then, I'm mostly looking romancing aliens in ME so hair doesn't quite matter there anyways Oh god, Fenris' hair even the guy who designed him, Matt Rhodes, was ashamed of it. I remember I needed some time to get used to it.

Cortez romance was too safe. I need a little more to really get into a fictional romance than just two dudes casually finding each other. I mean it's fiction, I need a little tension, passion, indulge me in a fantasy! I'm not going through another Dorian romance though, where I'm secondary to him and he is the star. It can start off like that, a little difficult, but then develop into something good. That's fine, as long as I get my happily-ever-after, or something close to that anyway.I just hope he isn't sassy. I don't like sassy people, and I DEFINITELY don't want another sassy gay character. Just makes me go soft to be honest, I hope he has a great sense of humor about himself, and I wouldn't mind if he was a bit crass. If they are seriously giving us another ridiculous Dorianesque gay romance, I would laugh my ass off. But I seriously doubt this is the case, unless part of his storyline is just figuring out that hey, I like dudes, and that's pretty much it. And I think it was highlighted that he is trying to find his PURPOSE, rather than finding himself, and I think those are two completely different things. It would be pretty damn awkward and lame if his purpose is to suck dick. Oh yeah, I just realized my main problem with Dorian's romance. There's no sense of development. He won't change throughout the game which is disappointing considering InquisitorxDorian honest conversation after their sex scene. I thought he would be different after that, but no. Annoying sassiness all over again.
