The amount of salt I'll have if Bull/Dorian is mentioned in DA4 more than Bull/Quizzy.

I felt that way with Garrus and Tali, and it was made worse when she continued to pine for him despite knowing I was romancing him. As far as on-ship romances this game go, I think the Jaal/Peebee attraction was realistic enough without really feeling like it was supposed to be canon over a player romance. Peebee always likes to play with new toys and Jaal presents himself as pretty much ready to jump on anyone who is willing as long as he's not committed to a relationship, considering he hits on every lady on the ship who has an interest in men (but no homo tho, of course). However, I doubt Peebee would survive in the typical cloying angara family setting for a week and Jaal seems to be into it, so it probably doesn't have much of a future. I get the whole argument that it's more realistic for the romanceable characters also to fall for each other, but I think strict realism has left the station a few explicitly marked heart-shaped dialogue options ago. Yes, sure, it is realistic that two squad mates might have a happier relationship together than each of them with the player character, but that doesn't mean it necessarily adds to the player's experience if they notice that through repeated playthroughs. It's just kind of... odd, like I'm doing something the developers secretly disapprove of. Sort of like I sometimes felt in the OT that the game was actively judging me for not having romanced Liara.Man especially with the goodbye. Like I had more of a moment with Liara than my LI. Good grief. As for preferred gender I'll play male or female but when it comes to romance I'm almost exclusively males. A few females will cause me to romance them and then it's usually with my fem protag if it's available. That said I'll usually play any romance at least once (particularly if there's an achievement for it). That said with voiced fem protags it's a lot harder for me to play them (I'm picky with my fem voices where I really don't care with male voices). I usually play male first so I don't feel super attached to the playthrough then play female for my more in depth playthrough. I don't mind npcs romancing each other tho. I just don't like Bull/Dorian because it feels like it got more attention and love than their romance with the PC which is kind of sucky.

The only reason I spare Kalinda is because Peebee goes for her first. If she didn't it'd be lava time.

I just realized I want a romance where the NPC broke up with someone recently and you can either romance them or if you don't they eventually patch things up with their ex. Something other than the perpetual single LIs we get or their horde of dead exes. I think I'm too jealous to like that kind of thing. I get it's a thing you have to deal with in real life. I'd prefer not in a game. (Hey, at least I'm honest.) XD It could be a f/m LI then? I just really want it for myself honestly.

Something other than the perpetual single LIs we get or their horde of dead exes. Jaal sort of comes close. His lover left him for his brother. Death was much later lol and I think PeeBee is in that category too. They aren't NPC's though. I like this idea! Yeah the death being later is better but she still died. PeeBee tho yeah.

We know Cora's voice actress said she was doing some new stuff, so I am hoping it's at least a DLC related to the missing Ark. Anything after that, it's hard to say. That's right, I had forgotten about that tweet from Cora's voice actress. That's good, well for those of us that didn't want it dead, anyway. lol It means they haven't totally pulled the plug. Imagine if there's an extra Cora romance patch and everyone else gets nothing.

I think krogans, turians, and angara look fine though. It's just humans and asari that are a bit weird. Default Scott and Sara look fine too. Even a lot of the krogan have weird coloring that doesnt really fit. Angara look fine but thats mostly because they have two faces, one male, one female, and just repeat those. Same with turians and salarians, its just less noticeable on non human looking faces. Yeah I really don't like the female Angaran faces either. Like their eyes are super huge animu eyes.

Now that things have settled down, what's everyone's opinion on the rumors that Montreal's studio is being downgraded and ME is on hiatus? I saw the original article and then some were disputing the reliability of the source. Do you guys think this is for real? Will they confirm/deny the accuracy of this? Do you think we'll still get DLC for ME:A or do you think the game/franchise are just fucked? I wish tehy'd pulled the plug after ME3 so we could've ended on a better note. Regardless I'm perfectly fine with ME being put to rest. Old Yeller needs to go to sleep.

I don't flirt with anyone I'm not going to romance. I hate that I have no idea, besides prior knowledge, that Gil is gay. Casual gamers would have no idea unless you flirt with him. Same unless I'm playing a flirty character. Plus it's just awkward since so often their your coworkers/subordinates.

Its a good thing literally no one here has done that, then. The term itself suggests it tho. So I'd really suggest not using it because it's an awful term to use. Thus my whole comment about not co-opting terms. It's like reverse racism. It just doesn't work as a term because it's not equivalent.

I feel the same way about heterophobia as I do about Blue Lives Matter. How strange it didn't pop up as a thing until the majority starts feeling threatened by a minority.
I don't deny there's some people that probably are straight hating but trying to put that on the same level of a systematic and highly pervasive system that has killed scores more people and negatively effected lives over centuries?
*laughs hysterically*
I'm sorry I can't take that shit seriously. It's a special level of deluded to even attempt a comparison.

Are you denying the existence of heterophobia as an institution or that bias against hetero people can exist at all? Eh, bias against straight people can exist, theoretically. But bias itself =/= the power to act on that bias. That's why heterophobia is not an institution. There's no laws against people being all hetero with eachother. At least not in our current society. Honestly I just rather people just call them being an asshole rather than trying to co-opt a term that has far reaching applications than a few individuals being douchey.

That was after massbass told me he was being harassed by you guys. Again anger because of cruelty, not who you are. My post itself says it. I wasn't posting in the romance thread then, but I understand you think I am responsible for all the sins of my people. Again, I don't care if you were angry. I think I explained that pretty clearly in the post you just replied to. That shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did. (mostly sad oh god I've been there laughter but still).

Particularly for having shit tier taste. SMH. Death to the Geth thb Case-in-point. Siding with those worthless Quarians. On topic tho...I've honestly seen some remarks that I've side eyed. I would never say they're the equal to homophobic remarks whatsoever but some of them are pretty eh just the same. Honestly maybe it's best for people not to be shits to groups as a whole and stick to individuals.

ok well then I have a question for you Back on BSN Prime, I was told my opinion on romances was invalid because I am straight, is that a legitimate viewpoint? Should the person who said that have been reprimanded? Your opinions are invalid for a whole host of other reasons tbh Particularly for having shit tier taste. SMH.

Jaal's mostly kind of dull which is why I don't get the fervor around him.
Also if he speaks any slower I'd want my Ryder to punch him in the face.

Ugh, this reminds me of my attempts with Homebrew to install the Gay fates mod. I failed and ended up doing something weird with my space in my SD card. One day I'll reattempt it once I buy a new one. And I wanted Silas for my male Corrin. At least you guys get Niles. He is cute but promiscuous. The women get Rhajat.... She was hot but literally an insane stalker. I embarrassingly romanced Takami with my female player and Camilla with my male character... It is really frustrating because Camilla is so obviously interested in you if your a girl but also because of implications.... People who have played the game know what I am talking about. I DIDN'T LIKE IT OKAY?? It is not my fault the most of the best characters were associated with you that way... there is a lot I don't approve of in that game actually. Reina was my favorite romance-able character but I didn't really enjoy playing the male protagonist.
Niles is eh. Rhajat is a cheap knockoff of Tharja. I'm not gonna lie I hardcore read all the Xander/MCorrin fanfic I can get my hands on. I kind of wish the siblings had been bi tho I get why Xander isn't given the whole need royal heir thing. But damnit he could've just boned some rando for his kid like Chrom randomly does if you marry/kill off all the females before he can marry them. I admit I was fine with the implications? But I'm into some messed up romances so *shrug* Plus everyone in that family had some weird attachment issues so I could totally see that happening. I need a "into weird shit" tag. XD Silas makes far more sense as the bi option than Zero. Like...he's childhood best friend that leaves everything behind to help you *and* he's on all 3 routes. Why isn't he bi?!? Exactly, chose Flora to romance instead of Niles when I got Revelation because I wasn't interested in him. I need gay Fates hack damnit! I really should hop to it at buying that SD Card... >.> @andraste I will admit Niles is better as a bi option than Tharja was. Making her as the bi option was strange, especially since she was one of the children, and I don't really like having them as ROs. >.> The children being LIs is always kind of creepy because there's some routes the PC clearly was around them as they developed so it's kind of like. Yeah I'm into weird/kinky shit but not that Lolita grooming shit. Get that outta here.

She is better as support, then switching out when it is safe or for mobility. You gotta protect your sexy battle milfs okay!? I hated that also. She was way to good to be a male only player character romance option. I wanted to pair her with so many people... especially my female character.

Like...he's childhood best friend that leaves everything behind to help you *and* he's on all 3 routes. Why isn't he bi?!? Also like 90% of the Corrinsexuals should've been bi. They're already fanservice. You might as well go all the way.

Yeah my main issue is "Like I could really get a better child if you'd bone X. WHY WON'T YOU MARRY SOMEONE ELSE." and then there's the Corrinsexuals that are just...huh? Looking at you Awakening Flavio/Blasio and Say'ri/Yen'Fay not to mention Emmeryn who can only support with Robin. It's not like Lissa or Chrom have anything to say to you! *seethes*
