I always romanced Danse, Maccready, and Hancock. I would romance Preston too if he wasn't a fetch quest giver. I like how Danse romance is tied into the game. Yeah i play brotherhood. The only way to get danse to still talk to you postgame and have a mod that stops vertibirds hunting me down or having the brotherhood in diamond city be hostile because that isnt what maxson said. Also makes the game unplayable because husband must go everywhere. And the romance is just woven so perfectly into the plot it's just a natural part of it instead of being a side thing. I sided with Minutemen. After the end game I switch around my husbandos and bring them with me. If the Brotherhood has a problem with Danse, they just need to deal with it which always didn't end up well for them (I have Danse equipped with wounding gatling lasers ). The Brotherhood knights drop some power armor pieces that can be sold for lots of caps.

I just got a chance to check here. They actually did mention m/m romance. This is way above what I have expected. They also fix some bugs and glitches that have been affecting me. This is some good announcement they made.

That problem happened to me 3 times. Thankfully I have lots of manual saves. Yeah I started saving a shit ton of the second time lol. Oh and did your game ever freeze on the Architect fight where he burrows out of the ground and his animation wouldnt play so you'd just get stuch unable to do anything? My Architect fights went smoothly. I did have problems with other enemies stuck in walls, in rocks and under ground though.

Is this how the calm before the storm feels like? I am trying to keep my expectation really low. On an unrelated note, I managed to bring Nomad into a vault. You fell into the acid gell and it brought you back with a nomad? Same happened to me lol Nice open beta, BIOWARE! Yep. I believe this was on Voeld. Don't try this at home!

While it is true that the space has a very low temperature, the heat transfer between the vacuum and your suit is very low, if the suit is designed to have low thermal emissivity and absorptivity. This is because of the fact that space has really low pressure and therefore low thermal convection and conduction. The only way for heat transfer in space is thermal radiation.
For example, space station is generally coated with a special white paint to reduce thermal emission and absorption to maintain the temperature. Further thermal emissivity engineering can help control the space station's temperature.
On the planet with atmosphere, your suit will have to deal with thermal conduction and thermal convection from the environment, in addition to thermal radiation.

Yea I don't really need detailed sex scenes at all... at the very least though, the next time you give us a Turian, can they not lie next to us in full battle armor? Cause Avitus strikes me as a cuddler Ok but banging a guy who's wearing armor is kinda hot. Is that just me and my weird fetish? lol But yes cuddling is nice.

Yikes, I don't envy this way of life. I was fortunate enough to meet my boyfriend in a particle physics lecture. which one of you is the negative one? I'll let you know that in particle physics, there are types of quarks called Top and Bottom.

We need to pad out some pages, we can talk about how gay guys have sex I suppose. Still stand by the act of tribbing if you engage in that, you're doing it wrong. What would you like to know? When two guys love each other very much, the fade-to-black happens and that's all there is for gay sex.

I like how the reviewer spends enough time in the game to give criticism beyond surface. I am glad that she mentioned this flaw: which is a very big one for me.
Overall this is a fair review. I agree about 75% of what she has said.

Wise decision to point him that way. The rest of the threads are filled with, while constructive, a tidal wave of salty criticisms. Most are constructive thankfully, and the rest read like they've been personally hurt by someone they thought had their back. Mine included. Actually, they're all good critical add-ons sprinkled with unnecessary straight opinions on why we shouldn't be mad about this. Best to read with care. I wish you luck on the hunt. Yep, I figure I should not point him to the character romance thread where m/m romance situation in ME:A is torn into pieces over and over again in a thousand pages. That thread has even more pages than the Twitter thread lol. But if he wants to see unfiltered salt, that thread is the best source.

This is just another reason why I think no explicit sex scenes is better. Nah explicit sex scenes are fine. You just need people who know what they're doing to make them. Time management and resource allocation was so badly handled in mea. They could easily have made unique sex scenes for each romance and top/bottom variants for gil and reyes. They just didnt care enough to. Yes, where's my Gil's ass, Bioware?? And the only way to see Scott's ass in game is to romance Cora. I guess showing asses in gay romance just does not make sense TM.

Hey guys, looking for community feedback on the situation for review materials. Please keep it constructive however. What'd you think of the situation with the m/m romances, and all the romance options as a whole? There is a thread at bsn.boards.net/thread/6157/open-letters-bioware-regarding-romances where people who have problems with m/m romance are writing letters to Bioware. They are constructive and might be what you are looking for.

He looked smoking hot even in ME1 but I simply couldn't stand him i just cant resist his sculpted face and that raspy voice. Even if i have to use editing software to stop hearing people call me ma'am it's worth it i can't not romance kaidan across the trilogy. Those two men have an epic love story that survives the hardships of war conspiracy and death itself. Love conquers all and they live happily ever after. And now there's a mod for Kaidan m/m and Ashley f/f romance in ME1 where people call you with proper pronouns and lines.

Dirk Regarding Cora's stories: I'm American, and your story/description sounds a lot like some people I've met here in the states; it's probably a fairly universal thing. Regarding companion approval: I'm on board with approval as a mechanic in theory, though DA:O is the first game I've played that has it, so I'm no expert. Even if ME never implements it, I do think there should be some sort of nuance to romances beyond "do their loyalty mission, pick the flirt options." Then again, my options are limited as is, so I'd be concerned about adding more locks. Kind of off-topic, but: this whole fiasco (mainly the m/m stuff, though I do have other criticisms) has made me even more concerned about just how few space opera RPGs there are compared to the fantasy genre. I'd absolutely love to see an RPG styled after, say, The Expanse, Stargate, Firefly, or Battlestar Galactica, but nobody seems to be making them. I think you meant ash

I think she always keeps the baby and acts as the mother. She wants Gil to be the dad in the same context if he's with Scott, I believe. She'll keep the baby and you'll be co-parenting in a mom and dad/dad two household type deal. Honestly, this sounds like a terrible deal. (Not for real life, mind you, if three people who actually know and trust each other decide on this, it's perfectly fine; families can look very many ways.) I don't even think Pathfinder has known Gil for long enough to have a baby with him and now he's basically inviting a third person who is pretty much a stranger to him to be the mother to what is also going to be his child? That's just... what. I want a conversation option that is like: "I think Evfra likes me now, Gil, let's just ask him if he's got an angaran baby we can adopt for diplomacy, baby cats and squids are way cuter than human babies, anyway." Agreed. I don't see problems with having 3 parents, but in Gil's case, I don't know Jill well enough or trust her enough to be co-parenting with her. In game, Ryder only talks to Jill once. It's like asking a stranger to parent my child. It's really awkward to say at least.
