New huh? Well you've started off by trying to argue that it doesn't make sense for a bisexual character to act bisexual, and you said you're glad Ashley stayed straightwashed, even though if she was bisexual it wouldn't affect you in the slightest, or change anything for you, so there is no good reason for you to be against that. I'll be honest, not off to a great start. He wasn't bisexual to start off with. That is my problem. I'm glad it didn't happen to Ashley because it would remind me of DA2 where everyone was bisexual just to please everyone. It makes the characters feel unique if everyone was different. It would also feel like it came out of nowhere just like it did for Kaidan. If Kaidan/Ashley were bisexual from the start, I'd have no issue with it. Its the same reason why I have no problem with Leiliena. She is clearly stated as being bisexual in DAO and I romanced her. But Kaidan wasn't from the start, and it came out of nowhere. That is ultimately my issue. Can you at least understand where I am coming from with that? If not, then there is no point in talking about this any further. No, i can't see where you're coming from with that, and i can't see why you would have a problem with that when it doesn't affect you badly in any way and makes other people's experiences better. But nevermind, we have a big difference of opinion here and we'll just move on.

Because this a thread about Kaidan. I didn't like it when Liara or Peebee made sexual advances at me either. But obviously they don't apply in a thread about Kaidan. Does this mean you are making the same complaints in those threads? Most likely no.

It's just a guy showing an interest in you, like one time, in the entire trilogy. I don't know what to tell you man, other than any reasonable person can handle that without making a big deal out of it. Who's making a big deal? I just said I didn't like it and I was trying to understand why that happened. aoibhealfae explained the situation to me and we could have left well enough alone. Kaidan being bisexual just feels really shoe horned in so there is another gay romance choice. Is it that wrong to not like a bit of dialogue by a character you like? I should also mention, I am still new to the series. And I went in knowing next to nothing about romances or characters or whatever. So this came off as very surprising and I just didn't like it.

No, it makes equal amount of sense if Kaidan is bisexual - which he is. It doesn't if you've romanced a female already. If you've had a relationship with a female as broshep why would he assume I'm flirting with him? I'm willing to bet you can have a fling with Jack and have romanced Liara or Miranda and he'd still ask if you were flirting with him. There is no indication Kaidan was interested in male Shepard in ME1. Yes, I know its because he's gender locked with the female. At least for the female Shepard, he kind of drops hints that he's interested in her from the start. So even if you don't pursue a romance with him, it seems more in line for him to try to flirt with her again in ME3 because he was already interested. I just felt it came out of nowhere on my playthrough and I didn't like the line. And also you meet Tali super late in ME3. If you have the dinner scene before you lock in the Tali romance he still asks you out. First time doing Tali's romance, I had no idea about this. It kind of just came out of nowhere and had me going wtf? Also wasn't a fan of that. It's just a guy showing an interest in you, like one time, in the entire trilogy. I don't know what to tell you man, other than any reasonable person can handle that without making a big deal out of it.

I don't really care. I'm just glad they made the right choice no matter what the reasoning honestly. Jaal is perfect now! Am I the only one who think of Jaal and Scott while listening this song? #STILLOBSESSED Fun fact: The entire mass effect franchise was actually created for Jaal and Scott, oh and the gaming industry...and the universe. It's just fate.

We M/M players didnt have a squadmate We M/M players didnt have a proper character with content We M/M players never had an alien We M/M players only got 2 options with crappy content in comparison with other demographics We M/M players are tired of explaining that Jaal never had a rejection for Scott, thus his straightness is not confirmed We M/M players are tired of explaining how Jaal was bi before they scrapped the idea because devs thought fragile straightbois minds couldnt handle a m/m option in the squad (this was confirmed by gaycaravaggio, person that leaked romances and other kind of info that happened to be true, your choice to believe or not, dont care) We M/M players think that Bioware Montreal screwed things up and Bioware Edmonton came to the rescue because they actually care about us We M/M players are tired of this bullshit We M/M players want a werewolf romance and the rest of us on the forums are tired of you guys, so its an even trade Oh boy then I've got some bad news for you, you can never get away from us. No matter what fandom you go to, we are always there. You poor thing, having to tolerate our existence. It must be so hard for you. I'm sending in aid for you by helicopter. Oh wait, it's boxes full of M/M content, oh well, have fun with that.

Haha no that's not what i meant, lol. Just that any circumstance where Jaal's romance ends should be avoided. Well, we are stuck in infinity as we aren't getting any DLC, or a sequel for that matter. Hooray, at least they can't fuck it all up! Just imagine the happy ending i guess, Jaal holding you close after you two get a place of your own like he said. *sniff*

LOL. Not so much kink shaming as just hoping Nick survives the end of his romance. Well some people might see digestion as a fitting way to end their romance... I guess... Romance...end? No, the romance must never end!

And a non furry's opinion is also biased. Don't worry about it. although if you find Jaal attractive you are a furry in the closet tbh No closet over here. Interpret that how you will.

Don't find him physically attractive in any way. But the way he cared so hard about so much... The way we ran playfully to the water... The way he put my hand to his chest.... The way he looked at me when he asked me to take him with me always... And the he spun me on two different occasions... I was won over in spite of the multiple awkward cringe moments and his looks His appearance just draws me in even more. :hearteyes:

Did you mean: Gay or bi men who are interested in boring men Those are the only two choices in the OT. So it's one of them or nobody for m/m players in the OT.

It's not how ME is done. Who actually chose Cortez over Kaidan? Cortez was an option for the sake of having options, clearly inferior in every way. I would trade Gil and Reyes for a gay squad member anyday. That's the real issue with gay romance in ME. Who actually chose Cortez OR Kaidan? Gay and bi men.

Thank you for everyone's love and support, it's been a hard couple of weeks but I did greatly appreciate it. My grandpa passed but knowing him, I'm sure he would've appreciated all of your kindness as well. Happy belated Birthday lilyenchaos. Sorry for the late response but I hope it was wonderful. As for the no DLC, I guess my hope is officially dead. I'm tired of greedy gaming companies and their stupid greedy decisions but it is what it is I guess. Also thanks for mentioning Greedfall, (I think it was nickcark89?). I guess I'll be siding with some nature spirits in the future. Oh and I just found out the athletic outfit was the romance outfit....*heavy sigh* He can rest in peace. I'm sending you all my love, hope you'll be ok.

Even if EA and companies like them go MMO, does not men Indie companies of gamers who like REAL RPGs won't be starting their companies to make their games. I checked out Greedfall because it was mentioned on this thread, and I'm carefully excited about it's release next year. I'm looking forward to that too.

Oh my, I hope NOT!!!!! It's rly shame about no future DLC... I was pretty much looking forward. *shame shame shame* Well, my hopes are in the next Dragon Age. I loved Inquistion. I just read the post, wasn't sure what everyone was talking about at first. This is really sad, and makes me really upset when I was already in a terrible mood from no sleep. It's not a good combination. If I don't get some coffee soon I think there will be actual tears. Sorry for my negativity. Go get your coffee.

I have a feeling the next ME will just be an MMO. It's where modern gaming is headed. Soon every game ever will be a microtransaction filled multiplayer experience that lasts about 10 seconds until they release the sequel which is basically identical. FUN.

Sadly, if there is ever a ME game I dont think we are going to see Andromeda anytime soon, I think the franchise is going to rest a lot before we see another game, maybe the return of the Milky Way, with cameos of Andromeda characters. Also, this sucks because Jaal is the best m/m romance we m/m players got in my opinion... I'm one those who prefers the DA approach with a different protagonist in every game but still sad we have never had a romance with the span of three/two games as other demographics in the original trilogy. I have a feeling the next ME will just be an MMO.

A tank top with Blasto the Hanar on it and modern day headphones from our real world is supposed to be the 'romance' outfit. Still can't believe that's in the game. Did you see in the twitter thread where Ian said it's an 'athletic' outfit and that they corrected that we were (ever) getting a romance outfit? I think it's a hideous outfit personally. I'd have been happy with jeans and a shirt. Sigh. Yeah they said the actual romance outfit was coming, but then @lee80 asked Ian about it recently and he said that is the romance outfit. Lies before release, lies at release, lies after release.

I had just beat the Archon before heading out for vacation, so maybe I have yet to see what you're talking about. But what the heck is a "fuccboi" outfit? A tank top with Blasto the Hanar on it and modern day headphones from our real world is supposed to be the 'romance' outfit. Still can't believe that's in the game.

We aren't sure if it just doesn't trigger or doesn't exist. The devs ignored the question when asked. Like they do most things. Or they decide that the promised romance outfit was a mistake they thought they corrected and that fuccboi outfit was always the only outfit they were releasing. I thought Ian commented about that being a bug? Or am I thinking of something else? Even if it IS a bug - at this point IDK if we can expect it to ever get fixed. It feels like they've given up on SP support already. Everything they do and say is directed at MP. Maybe that's just me being grumpy though, I haven't finished my first cup of coffee yet. No, that's what it is, they've given up on SP.

I actually just finished the game (well, I got the credits scene and did the epilogue, still getting new quests though), and romanced Jaal. He's very sweet, very open, almost disarmingly so, it really shows how used we are to romance being this dance of trying to show interest without leaving yourself too vulnerable. Jaal, in contrast, just says how he feels and that's that. He is wonderfully genuine and got on very well with my truth-obsessed, emotional/professional Ryder. Highlights for me were his banter with Peebee, though as I was romancing Jaal and turned down Peebee's offer, the one where she pretends to want to have immediate passionate sex with Ryder while Jaal is "asleep" was rather confusing. Absolutely love the fact he never misses an opportunity to wind her up, a man after my own heart. The other thing was that I got the scene with the promotion directly after the scene at the lake, and though my stomach clenched, I knew that it would be wrong to try to make the decision for him. I actually wondered if he would become a non-squad romance (it never occurred to me that they might break up, just not be living together as it were) but it was a nice way to reaffirm that his priorities had changed. Amusingly enough, I actually turned down two romances before I got to Jaal, Liam and Reyes. One for clearly being a bloody child, and the other for deception on a grand scale. I think I will forgive Reyes in my next playthrough, if only for that voice. Glad you enjoyed his romance. He IS refreshingly open. It's a nice change from the reluctant/lying/emotionally damaged LI we usually get to pick from. Liam is a nice guy, but I think he's just too 'young' for me. I realize he and Ryder are in their early twenties, but I'm not, so it's hard to get into a headspace where one of my Ryders will want to romance him. Reyes...dude gets flirted with every game. I can't NOT flirt. It's like he's a vortex and just sucks you in. I managed to resist Reyes fully on my Jaal playthrough, no flirts, somehow. Oh but when i wasn't romancing Jaal? My hands were pulled towards every flirt, and i lunged at his kiss prompt like a hungry lion.
