The fuck is this mess???? No. Andromeda gets no points in this area. Lets have a little review, shall we? - Gay male romances are side characters with significantly less content, dialog, CC faces, etc.
- Vetra's writer had to fight for her to be bisexual.
- Excluding gay men from the main Squad was intentional.
- Jaal was only made bi after massive backlash.
- The two sidelined gay men don't acknowledge each others
existence if you cheat on them because promiscuous gay men don't care about that kind of thing. - I could go on.
Andromeda and most of it's team deserve absolutely NO praise concerning it's gay relationships. Along with the above points was the psycho torture gay ME fans went through pre-release. Many here in the forums can concur. The handling of this issue was just corrosive and now we have to deal with this shit: articles popping up raining undeserved praise when objectively Andromeda is little better(I vote worse) than ME3 in terms LGB romance and only because WE(gay peeps) forced the issue. This entire event demonstrates a deplorable attitude within the MEA team that in the year 2819 a Blue Space Babe and a Purple Squid Cobra Cat Man can eye fuck each other throughout space adventures but the gay still has to be stuffed into a nice little box on the side. After Jaal was made bi, I swore to myself that I would try to be less salty about how gay romance was handled in ME:A before and after launch. But your list is very accurate and brings all the memory back. I remember the queerbaiting Bioware devs did during the marketing and their silence on gay romance while they were promoting m/f(Cora) romance. And oh yeah I remember that stupid phrase: "pretty good banging", unless you are interested in m/m romance. I remember that before launch a certain dev promised to talk about romance options after the game launch, and we never heard back regarding romance distribution until patch 1.08. Oh and remember "happy with specifics" line from a certain dev (no longer with Bioware) which implies that he was happy with a romance option distribution at launch that was horrible for m/m romance. As you said, how they handled m/m romance pre-launch was truly horrible. And you said it well that the change came from the fact that some gay people (also some bi and straight people as well, thank you) were pushing them hard with #MakeJaalBi tag. And although the tag met with some opposition, the tag made a pretty great push. We got devs to respond, saying that they listened to our feedback regarding romance. We got some news outlet to report how romance distribution in MEA and MET was bad. And of course bi Jaal happened and I say it was quite worth fighting for it. Adding to your list, I have - Reyes/MaleRyder dance animation is horrible compared to with female Ryder. They were like robots dancing lol.
- Vetra misgenders male Ryder in her comment regarding Reyes's romance (fixed now per patch 1.09 or 1.08)
- Duty to procreate bullshit with Gil romance and how the baby decision affects the final scene.
- Fade to back for Gil romance scene despite the fact that the animation for that scene is actually there.
And for lesbian players I have: - Female Ryder's invisible dick in Peebee sex scene.
With that side, I am thankful that Bioware has made changes that correct their mistake. Making Jaal bi and improving male Ryder/Reyes animation (still glitchy sometimes) are correct decisions. And despite their flaws, I like Gil and Reyes as characters and romance options. But Bioware could have done much better regarding gay romance and its marketing. This whole ordeal just leaves a sour taste in my mouth regarding Bioware. I hope DA4 will be better than this.

I enjoy Gil's storyline, but I could do without Jill. She seems to me almost homophobic even if she has a "good feeling" about him and Ryder. I'd gladly foster a child with him, but I don't like having creepy Jill around LOL... Yep, that's my thing. If Gil wanted a child for him and Scott to raise that would have been an amazing love story. That however isn't what we got. We got Jill wanting to force a gay man to have a child with her through emotional manipulation-and that was packaged as the only exclusively gay romance. Such a waste of a good character. Gil is so lovely aside from all of that baggage. He deserved so much better. Oh yeah that would have been amazing! I really love this idea that Gil and Scott are the ones who come up with the baby idea and then ask Jill to help them.

oh yeah the only complaint I have on the desire demon is we have not seen the male version yet. So I hope in the next DA game we would have a chance to "interact" with both forms of the demon. That's because BioWare doesn't understand that men can be sexy/desirable. (that's not a BioWare only problem though-lots of media doesn't get that) I think Bioware does understand that men can be attractive but they are quite hesitant on sexualizing male bodies, especially with ME team (for the reason we both know ). I think DA did a better job than ME in regarding to this. Still, to see a male desire demon in its revealing form would be glorious! And I don't mind if they look somewhat like the male qunari in DA2.

The desire demon in dragon age origins was good, but like... MORE, an actual romance option would be great give me the sexy mind controlling demon lady already and let her have her way with my character

If only they could have been all men! However, I could never have romanced both Kaidan and Steve Cortez. Never. Yeah Kaidan is just way better then Cortez and doesn't leave any need for more attention or content. That's how I feel about Jaal thankfully. I wish you would have had that kind of content with Reyes. Reyes definitely has potential for the next game or a DLC. Maybe it is my fault that I went through Kadara very quickly, but I feel that his romance is not so evenly spread throughout the game. I also like Kaidan romance more than Steve's. I think I only tried Steve romance only once. All other playthroughs are with Kaidan. It's unfortunate that Kaidan got knocked out and did not join you until after the coup. Though I like this final confrontation during the coup though, since being nice to him paid out very well.

Hell yeah. It would take a miracle for that to happen though. Yep, it is very unlikely sadly. Though I am thinking about starting a thread where people can write letters about why they want a gay KIFA, and then we collect and send them to Bioware. It's like this thread made by the best mod, Natashina, but it should be nicer of course. Last time we got bi Jaal, maybe we get lucky for the second time!

Oh yeah this is why I do not consider "Schrodinger sexuality" as a valid form of representation. I would love to see more gay characters that are in healthy relationships. Or bi characters that are in same-sex relationship as well. And then there are more broad questions of how to represent lgbt characters. How much should such character reveal about their sexuality? How much of their stories in a game should be related to their sexuality? Because gay people come in a variety similar to straight people, I would say that the same should go for representation. Some gay characters will not reveal their sexuality easily, but others will tell you very quickly (and some others are along the spectrum). Some characters are like Dorian, where his sexuality plays an important role. Some may not. This is why I always support more lgbt characters in general because there are more than one ways to represent them! My favorite gay LI that I have not yet seen is the one whose sexuality is very obvious (flirt with guys openly, talk about how he finds men attractive, had a boyfriend etc.) but him being gay is not the only thing about him and he is also relevant to a plot of a game. Give me this, Bioware!
The issue I have with Dorian or Gil is that I dont want real life issues with a character that I'm going to romance, I was really excited with Gil being a dad even if I didnt like his looks or not being a squadmate, but then Jill and his duty as man happened :poop: I dont care if we see some real life issues with non-romanceable characters, I mean why not, but with limit resources the character I'm going to romance and spend time with better be free of real life gay-angst... I have real life and this forum to see what homophobia is. Or maybe some analogy like mage vs templar in Anders romance, that was cool. Jaal romance is perfect and I want to see that with a KISA or a werewofie Oh I see what you mean. I am tired of those issues as well. Don't get me wrong: having a gay character who has to deal with homophobia and other issues regarding his sexuality is a legitimate form of representation and can resonate well with many players. But it should not be the only way to portray gay characters. Now that we have characters like Dorian and Gil, it is time for more gay characters with zero gay-angst.

I would be down for all bi approach if there were gays characters aside of the romanceable ones, and the last part is totally true. I mean we dont know for sure about non-romanceable sexualities, but we know that Vivi had a husband, Varric had a girlfriend... yada yada, but none of the non-romanceable companion characters have been lgbtq that we know about, it seems that is mandatory being romanceable to be lgbtq, and that is a wrong message to me. Six/four bi options with 3 /4 characters being gay/straight would be great for me! Oh yeah this is why I do not consider "Schrodinger sexuality" as a valid form of representation. I would love to see more gay characters that are in healthy relationships. Or bi characters that are in same-sex relationship as well.

Even though with bi Jaal we still got the short end of the stick in comparison with other demographics (Gil and Reyes are still a joke), I have a squadmate now, that was my bare minimum and I'm still in this rainbow of happiness I feel really sorry for those that dont like aliens, I wish Bioware would have been more careful with those two humans. There is no excuse for some aspects in Gil and Reyes/MRyder romance, but I'd say having Jaal as another m/m option is refreshing since in ME:T we only had 2 humans (though Kaidan is still my favorite). I hope DA4 continues to have a more exotic LI for m/m romance. You know exactly what I mean.

What are you talking about? If every romance option is bi nothing is getting taken away from anyone but instead they adding a option that wasn't there. If Suvi turned bi right now in a patch what would change? Suvi can still be romanced by Female Ryder just like Jaal can be but none of you complained they was taking something away from straight woman. You'll still get your representations, which is stupid in the first place because video games are an art and they should be whatever the artist wants it to be not pander to any group so they can feel better about themselves. But that's different topic. Bottom line is making everyone bi takes nothing away from anyone you can still pretend that person is gay, straight, or bi if you want to. Bi characters are great, but they should not be stand ins for gay and lesbian characters. Bi representation is not the same thing as gay representation, because if you haven't noticed, gay != bi. Especially since most bi characters we had predominantly display opposite-sex attraction making the bi representation pretty invisible, unless you actively search it out. Personally I could do with less games pandering to straight people. Representation only seems stupid, when you never had to go without. Great points. I think there are two topics at play: representation and romance. All-bi approach would be excellent for romance but it would be bad for representation. Meanwhile representing gay, lesbian, and straight characters would be that they cannot be romanced by all. The best way to go with this imo is to have a variety of lgbt characters along with straight characters while giving equal romance options, such as the 2/2/2 approach (with all options have more or less equal content). Edit: I forget to mention about another approach where all LIs are bi, but there are non-LI and plot-important characters that are lgbt. I think this is another way to have both great romance options and representation.

With Jaal now being bi, ME:A is definitely an improvement from ME:T in term of lgb romance. Though ME:A could still use some improvement such as Gil's romance (e.g. lack of content, duty to procreate etc.). I'd say lgb romance in ME:A has slight edge over DA:I due to the amount of lgb romance options.
Now with respect to lgbt representation, DA:I is still the best, hands down. More effort and care were apparent in DA:I, while some aspects of lgbt representation are a bit problematic in ME:A.

LOL! that would be BioWare playing dirty for sure! A ginger kisa...OMG can you imagine Daveliam's reaction too for that matter? LOL! You know what will make him go really crazy? A ginger dwarf KISA.

You know I am biased because of aliens. I would prefer Sara/Vetra. But Sara/Suvi would make Banshee so happy. Too bad I am too lazy to learn video editing skills. I still have hope for m/m or f/f trailer. Maybe not a main one (that soon), but maybe a minor one. That would be a great improvement. And really I am looking at DA to be the one who will do it first. Despite the change in Bioware management, I know that people can learn. Making Jaal bi is a proof that Bioware does learn (albeit slowly like slow Jaal), and they did come around and did the correct thing. yeah, Sara and Vetra would be great too. I have a feeling that Patrick Weekes would totally be in support of a m/m and/or f/f trailer. I have a feeling it will come down to if he's willing to fight for it or not though, as it's pretty clear the marketing at EA is not as open minded as they should be at times. Jaal being restored with amazingly well done animations was a true victory for inclusion and it's clear that Scott and Jaal are perfect for each other! I'm really glad everyone can experience it that wants to. I know Jaal will be my favorite romance for the foreseeable future! Now I wish for a perfect LI of yours in DA4 (a ginger one too!) so that he will take over Jaal as your #1 favorite romance! I am still waiting for Bioware LI to take over Anders as my #1 romance.

I am convinced that if #MakeJaalBi had not been a thing, we would have not gotten his romance. I say it is worth the effort, though I prefer equal romance at launch! And some day I hope to see m/m romance in a launch trailer of Bioware games. Some day! That would be so glorious! I get teary eyed watching the lovely trailers that Scottphoto made! Just imagine an official one. I'd pass out from the happy! Oh those trailers he made are awesome indeed. And they kinda prove that it is not that difficult to make one. It depends on whether Bioware wants to make one or not.

Gay/Bi men totally deserved Jaal. I'm glad we got him too. Straight women deserved a Sara trailer, and they should have got it BEFORE launch, not after. All of those things deserved to be bitched about. I regret nothing! If we don't stand up for ourselves-no one else will-that's for damn sure! I am convinced that if #MakeJaalBi had not been a thing, we would have not gotten his romance. I say it is worth the effort, though I prefer equal romance at launch! And some day I hope to see m/m romance in a launch trailer of Bioware games. Some day!

While I am not sure how to feel about Aaryn leaving and Casey joining, I hope that Casey learns from the mistakes in the past and continues to improve on the Bioware formula which is unique to say the least. I also hope that he (and other devs) will tone down queer baiting and quit all the homophobic rhetorics (said long time ago, to be fair). I still remember ME:A marketing and its queer baiting, and I do wish not to experience that again. Yikes, that's just as dumb, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Not enough facepalms in the world. That's why we have to stand up against such things. Let me join you in facepalming that!

This is a great point. What Bioware needs to do from now on is to put equal effort into different sex romance and same sex romance when it comes to bi romances. That means that copy paste would not work. And bi romance should not be designed to cater to only a certain gender. Bi Jaal is one good way to do this. Reyes/Scott romance, on the other hand, is not. And Bioware is so adamant on not fixing it with all their excuses. I have a feeling they have too many assets shared with the Reyes romance, and if they tweak one it fucks up the other, and they are clearly are more concerned with the Sara/Reyes animations. It's why they must not do this copy and paste thing anymore in the future! Yeah this is one of the possible reasons a Bioware dev why, despite that they are aware of the bug, they did not fix it. But this is already patch 1.09. It is time to correct this stupid mistake in the next patch, imo. This also reminds me how lazy Bioware can be when it comes to animations in s/s romance. They still have not fixed Sara/PB scene. I am still waiting for more Gil content as well.

While I don't think there needs to be a drastic difference in writing-both genders in a bisexual romance should have their own unique animations as the copy and paste thing never works out. It always looks horrible for at least one gender-and sometimes it just doesn't look good for either since they tried to make it work for both. The trick is to make sure that the animations are equal in quality. This was thankfully what was achieved with Jaal. This is a great point. What Bioware needs to do from now on is to put equal effort into different sex romance and same sex romance when it comes to bi romances. That means that copy paste would not work. And bi romance should not be designed to cater to only a certain gender. Bi Jaal is one good way to do this. Reyes/Scott romance, on the other hand, is not. And Bioware is so adamant on not fixing it with all their excuses.
