I wish there was a scene where you can introduce your romance option to your sibling. That could be lovely. They might do that in the post-main quest DLC, since I would hope that they add some new romance stuff to that. I also hope they add like a date scene with each of the LIs, keeping in spirit of the character and the romance. For example Sarah and Suvi go out to dinner and Suvi finally finds some Heleus stuff she can eat, or Scott and Cora going on a camping trip like she talked about, and etc. Sounds good. I would love to drag Gil out of Tempest. That dude needs to spend time outside. I am also planning to push him into a certain pond on Eos.

Every time I see screenshots of the movie scene I can't stop wondering about Jaal. Like it's all I can think about. Did he stand for the whole movie? Isn't he uncomfortable? Why doesn't he find a chair or sit on the floor or something? I keep thinking about Kallo's fucking legs and feet. There's something seriously wrong there. It squicks me out. They are kinda like frog legs.

I don't know what they were thinking adding Jill to Gil's story. Her presence in his romance seems way too big. And a gay man having a kid with some (presumably) straight woman? Yeah, no thanks. In addition to that some of the things Jill supposedly said were pretty offensive to me as a gay man. Why couldn't Gil just adopt a kid or something? Agreed. If they are going to add Gil's content, none of it should be related or have anything to do with Jill.

The same applies to people who romance Avela or Keri. So it hits everyone equally. Also, where is Vetra? People who romance Avela or Keri have 3 other options on the ship. Reyes is one of 2 options. It doesn't hit everyone equally. If straight guys could romance only either Lexi or Avela, THEN it'd be hitting people equally. Damn it is sad that our m/m option is equivalent to that.

I just got Gil romance scene. Ignoring fade-to-black thing, I find the scene to be quite touching and hot. My chief engineer knows well how to use his hands.

Yup. Got that dialogue earlier. Though, if I'd been in charge, my Ryder probably wouldn't have replied "What? No!", he would've replied "Hell yeah!" . (Or perhaps more sth like "Uhm, I guess I do." since, in my headcanon, he's a bit more self-conscious but you get the point LOL.) Yep, my Scott would be proudly admitting that. But damn those auto dialogues.

I would not compare ME:A sale at launch to ME1 at launch, considering that ME1 at launch was xbox360 exclusive, while ME:A was released on 3 platforms.
Before all these m/m romance drama, I was wishing ME:A would sell much better than ME:T, like how Fallout 4 sold compared to FO:NV and FO3.

No. You definitely lock the romance in. I believe the line that does it is something along the lines of "I want you, only you" when the other choice is it's over. This is true except for Gil. You can continue with Gil romance even you finish Reyes romance if you have flirted with Gil before Kadara.

"Men react differently from us" I'm not an 'us' I'm a men and I can tell you I don't react differently. We show emotions just fine especially in situations like that. I'm sorry but you've had some very very odd specific instances with men. I am a 22 year old man. I cry all the time. I cried in front of my whole family and friends when I found out my sister's boyfriend killed himself. I've cried at every funeral I've been to. I watched my dad cry at two of the three funerals I've seen him at. I am amazed you've only seen a man cry once in your life, because I can't even begin to cry how many different men I've seen cry for all different reasons. I watched my friend break down into sobs when the little dinosaur from The Land Before Time thought his shadow was his dead dinosaur mother. You've had a very limited experience it seems. I know men who don't like to show emotion and men who wear their hearts on their sleeve. I have been both of these kind of men. I know what plenty of different men are like. Damn that it's literally me every time I see that movie, I even have a stuffed longneck that I call Piecito (Littlefoot traslation in spanish) That's a really cute name. And yeah that movie always gets me.

I wish I could choose personality separately from my gender, and then my other twin can have the other personality.
This way you can have different twins with different personalities and also more role playing choice.

I might miss something here. Do we really know if the two turians are gay or bi? Just in case their dialogue doesn't imply it strongly enough, the codex for the turian Pathfinder says it outright. I mean I know they are couples. But are they gay or are they bi? I probably need to check the codex again for this.

I've been doing 100% too. But had to commit to gil first once i realised hunting wasnt an endgame mission. Stuck on havarl though it's at like 82% and i dont know what else to do.9 Have you talked to Addison on Havarl? That one gave me +20% viability.

After completing the game, I am more certain that the fiasco with the m/m romances is due to ignorance, not malice. After ME3, one of the things I saw people pointing out is that non-asari LGBT people pretty much don't appear outside of love interests. The bit with the transgender NPC was really idiotic, but it was well-meaning idiocy. There is also a woman in Podromos who can be overheard talking about having children with her wife further down the line, and I thought it was pretty cool to find out that the turians chose a gay man as their Pathfinder. These little things tell me that they are trying. It doesn't excuse their screw-ups, but it gives me a reason to expect improvement in the future. I might miss something here. Do we really know if the two turians are gay or bi?

I guess I'm of the few who have reached 100% on all 5 planets. That's probably why I'm level 49 and have not officially bang Gil yet.

Hell I'd be okay with wonky kiss scenes and all Didn't bother me much when I had to deal with it for modded Solas and Cullen. Pfft. At least the game would acknowledge the romance as real. I mean, assuming this gets a sequel. This sums up my thinking. You think I'm not gonna want them to make Jaal bi because Scott might look over his head or the kisses might be weird? I could care less, I played through modded Solas romance when all cutscene romance dialogue wasn't voiced and I enjoyed it a lot. No way I'd turn it away because of problem like that. I remember those days where Kaidan called my bro Shep ma'am. I'm amazed by all those things we had to put up with just to get any semblance of gay romance.

Guys, definitely pick the second '' no homo '' scene with Liam. You get some extra dialogue where he asks if you see him as a fling or marriage material. Just putting it out there for people who want to maximize their gayness in this game of less than mediocre gay content. Just to clarify, do I need to avoid flirting with him for the first time to get the second "no homo" scene?

Oh and just to clarify something. As a straight woman who is glad to romance Jaal, when I say don't patch him to be bi, it's not because I don't want to share him. His romance with Sara works for a female. I am all for them making him bi in a DLC with a story just for him and Scott, so everyone can experience the beauty of this man, but changing what is already written would not be a good idea, and I know many would not like it. It would be Reyes and Scott, but even worse looking. Honestly I think this is losing track of what many m/m men in this thread are upset about. Ive seen more than a few posts talk about how they were all for getting a bi option for jaal, until they had him as Sara and now think he should be left alone. That he shouldnt be "changed". Many of us are Arent happy with how it turned out, and havnt been across 4 games. Wait for a dlc that has its own separate romance storyline(when none of the other bi options do this)? I suppose we should also wait for the next game too? Or just hope they give us our own separate franchise thats nothing but mlm options? Im glad you you found a character/romance you enjoy, but it remains to be said that many of us Didnt. Asking for them to make him for everyone would take nothing from your experience with him. Yes, some dialog/scenes would need some tweaking to pull this off, but I would be ok with this if it allows us to be included for once. It also doesnt mean it would have to affect the m/f side of it. The MakeJaalBi hashtag has the benefit of being simple, reasonable and practical request. They arent going to make a whole new permanent squadmate for dlc just to add a true bi male squadmate. The work that goes into making a unique character(esp after so many complain about reyes/gil looking churned out of the CC) is staggering. We know theyre gonna be making dlc. It would be infinitely easier and realistic to expect a change, if any, to just have the jaal/scott VAs record some new lines while theyre at it and add jaal as bi. Will it get rid of all of the salt? No. Will it be better than what we have? Yes. Will they do anything at all is the big question. I wouldn't mind bi Jaal at all. They could add Scott/Jaal interactions while keep Sara/Jaal interactions the same. Problem solved. I wouldn't mind additional m/m romanceable characters either (Avitus or Evfra please) or additional content with Reyes or/and Gil. There are ways Bioware could do to rectify m/m romance situations. But at this point it's the waiting game.

" Also if you accept a certain choice as M!Ryder you get locked out of Reyes' romance, but if you do it as F!Ryder the romance is still unlocked.Just something about "Sloane's deal" i think or at least i hope its just a bug. If that's the case, then that sucks. Can anyone verify this?
