I'm 36 years old, actually. But that was my point: he's a professional. He needs to act like it. Were you the teacher in that thread? I obviously wasn't talking about you if that's the case. Also we're practically the same age. Eww you old folks.

tbh I think they should axe Andromeda and the ME IP in general. They don't want to continue the story in the Milky Way, and I'm just not invested in Andromeda and I think the critical and player reception bears that out. They should focus more on DA even over the new IP imo, it needs a lot of love if it wants to be a competitive franchise. Inquisition was a good steady the ship entry, but they need to do more than that for DA4. And they need to make their "quests like the Witcher 3!" actually true and not just bullshit. Also get rid of DAI's 8 ability limit. My god.

On a completely different note I played the game England Exchange by Hanako games and Danny is my bae He's like the perfect mix of redeemer yet insane. It has s/s romances if anyone's interested. No s/s exclusive tho. It's just straight and bi.

Oh! I guess I took it for granted it was accurate. But... it's Kotaku lol. It's always best to not take anything they write for granted Yeah but it just makes so much sense. Confirmation bias and all but I really feel the game did poorly. And honestly I wish they'd killed the series after ME3. not sure why the decided to do this awful reboot.

lol that's a nice way of saying dead. I meant that I wanted caravaggio sis to check her sources if Kotaku article is true or BS speculation Oh! I guess I took it for granted it was accurate. It's just so fitting really. I just hope it doesn't hurt DA4. lol that's a nice way of saying dead. Oh god, can you imagine how awful that would sound as an IRL euphemism for dead?! "We're very sorry. The doctors did everything they could, but your spouse is on hiatus." lmfao That'd be awful!

But the point was assumption of sexuality. I said Kaidan could be gay for all I know because I am not told about his attraction to women how would I know he's bi? This was in direct response to someone saying Kaidan always expresses attraction to women which he doesn't because you can play the game and not hear it therefore said dialogue is not expressed not that doesnt exist just that it isnt expressed. This topic was not directed at you, if you're not understanding I suggest dropping it. But you DO know. Unless you're trying to talk from the POV of your Shepard. You know Kaidan's not gay. Just like the person you were responding to knows he's not straight. If I don't do Dorian's quest can I suddenly claim I don't know if he's gay since it doesn't come up otherwise? It's not anything to be understood saying he's gay/straight is just incorrect. Like I get that the HC is important to people but that doesn't override the actual game.

What is forced diversity to you? You put it in quotes so you must feel strongly about it. It "has to make sense for the character". I hate this damn thing on so many levels. Not just because of sexuality but because there's so much gendered and racial bullshit that goes into that too. Ugh.

I fail to see how it's discarding information when it's not information presented in game and the result of a circumstantial selection of dialogue, Dialogue which is not essential to continue the game or anything related to that character's core story. Besides this was a response to someone convinced Kaidan expressed attraction to women, my point was to prove he doesnt always. That's...exactly what discarding information is. It's like someone saying Tevinter doesn't have mage slaves in DA2 because they missed Fenris' banter about it and when brought up insist it doesn't count because that information wasn't heard in their playthrough. Also how is it not information presented in game when...you get it through talking to him in game. And again the comparison to Jack's survivor guilt. Her romance is not necessary, speaking to her is not necessary that doesn't mean it's not part of her character. But he does express attraction to women is my point. Saying it doesn't happen in your game therefore it's not part of the character kind of misses me. It causes my confusion as much as those saying he's straight despite the fact that he can play tonsil hockey with dude Shep in ME3.

Are you even a Jaal fan or romanced him? Just curious. Yes, and that's why i don't want him to be another character that was ruined by "forced diversity". What is forced diversity to you? You put it in quotes so you must feel strongly about it.

Great now you reminded me of that dude who filled some women's butt with cement. Thanks for that. I love how, amidst the tepid matchflames of recent content posted today, you pull this out. I'm not sure why, or from where, but it is what it is. Obvious Troll trolls thread, but hey, about that woman with cement in her butt... You didn't see those pictures tho. It was the perfect storm of "wtf is that" "MY EYES" "It looks like a block." and "Why would you even want it that big tho?"

No their really isn't. You discarding dialogue that doesn't fit your interpretation to claim he's gay is as dumb as the people who insist he's straight. And it's not a compromise to consider him bi/playersexual that's his orientation. That said Kaidan doesn't love any Shepard since my renedouche never got any confession :3 This argument doesn't work in a game with interchangeable canon options which can vary depending on selected dialogue options, order of missions etc. Not taking a specific dialogue option is not disregarding it. It's how the game is meant to be played. What you experience is your canon, anyone can dig deeper to fill in the blanks any way they want. Makes no difference to me, there's a subtle reference to multiverse theory in the game anyway so everyone gets their own canons in an infinite number of quantum realities. It'd discarding information in game about a character to suit whatever backstory you want them to have. It's like pretending Jack doesn't have survivor's guilt because you didn't play her romance. In game yeah not working off that information makes sense because the PC and the player are not the same being and have access to the same information. And while the PC is interchangeable the NPCs are not. They always have the same baseline personality and traits even if certain decisions are changed through the PC's intervention. But my main issue with the "he's gay" thing is it can just as easily be used to say "he's straight" and half this thread has been complaining about just that.

So would you guys be ok with BioWare making Dorian straight/bi? Somehow I doubt that. Because that's actually dumb. The reverse argument doesn't work when you are taking away from those that have the minimum. Eh it's dumb either way. The ship's sailed. That said making Dorian bi would be more egregious considering f/m players in DAI have a wealth of options to choose from and giving them an additional option while causing m/m players to lose their exclusive one would be tone deaf.

Huh. I could've sworn he mentioned her when he was mentioning Ashley and the things he and Shep went through in ME1. I'm sorry but you're misremembering. I've done committed mshenko runs of the while trilogy with the ME1 console command romance 10 times. I can tell you there's as much of a case to assume that Kaidan is gay as there is to assume he's straight. A good compromise is to consider him bi or just a playersexual option without a predetermined orientation. It makes no difference in the context of the romance content. Kaidan loves Shepard, any Shepard. No their really isn't. You discarding dialogue that doesn't fit your interpretation to claim he's gay is as dumb as the people who insist he's straight. And it's not a compromise to consider him bi/playersexual that's his orientation. That said Kaidan doesn't love any Shepard since my renedouche never got any confession :3

Huh. I could've sworn he mentioned her when he was mentioning Ashley and the things he and Shep went through in ME1. He mentions brain camp, but not Rana specifically. Ahhh. Well considering you can say he's straight using the same logic that doesn't seem very concrete to me.

I could've sworn he mentioned it during the dinner where you initiate his romance. That and while he's cooped up in the hospital. Nope. Rana is optional dialogue in ME1 only. The only time he mentioned women to me was in ME1 when he said he didn't fancy asari. Huh. I could've sworn he mentioned her when he was mentioning Ashley and the things he and Shep went through in ME1.

Huh? Yes he does. He always mentions Rana. I don't think there's a single male that doesn't mention some interest in the opposite/same sex. There's a few females tho. In Mass Effect, Gil Brodie and Steve Cortez don't express interest in women. Gil even rejects Sara. Opposite/same meant and/or I should've clarified that.

He comments on EDI's body in ME3, saying she looks good in a sexual tone. Of course, you can headcanon this conversation away if you wish. It's kinda fucked up seeing as he almost got murdered by it. Maybe he's into that kind thing. Agreed they could've had him make a comment about Miranda or something. Not the bot that slammed his head into a wall repeatedly.

It's in a specific dialogue tree on the left hand side so it's optional and not required to progress the romance. I could've sworn he mentioned it during the dinner where you initiate his romance. That and while he's cooped up in the hospital.

Well he's busy plowing MShep in my canon. Canon. Hard canon. Hard throbbing canon. Also Kaidan has never mentioned any interest in the opposite sex in my game so he could be full on gay for all I know. I've not asked him if he likes girls too Huh? Yes he does. He always mentions Rana. I don't think there's a single male that doesn't mention some interest in the opposite/same sex. There's a few females tho.

Pretty much any sentence that begins with "I'm not X but..." should stop right there. Unless it's a glorious non sequitor. "I'm not a doctor, but pickles are delicious." "I'm not homophobic, but did you know that cats have nictating membranes in their eyes?' "I'm not a developer, but KITTIES." "I'm a doctor but not a doctor of medicine." Great now you reminded me of that dude who filled some women's butt with cement. Thanks for that.
