Sorry but that was straight up horrendous? 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you' seriously? There aren't anyone? Let me name it for him, Dragon's Dogma, Dragon Age, Technomancer, Fire Emblem Fates, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Persona 2, Stardew Valley, Langrisser, Saint Row 4, etc. Biting the hands that feed you? lol, sorry, if I don't eat shits. They asked a guy who didn't play any game outside of Bioware apparently. Don't forget the Fable series. While not great, they got it. Also, really? Don't bite the hand that feeds you? When the hand feeds you scraps with a hint of bullshit, i'm gonna bite.

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? I feel like, after finding out all the things I've heard about and discovered on my own, maybe that whoever the people are who wrote the gay, lesbian, and male bisexual characters in this game should probably meet and actually talk to gay, lesbian, and male bisexual people first, because Gil's arc and actual character was and felt like nothing short of a sloppy afterthought, another "gay" romance about their gayness and not their character if I have to be crass about it, Reyes's biromantic attraction to men was, unfortunately, an obvious last minute balance addition, especially if the dialogue and animations comparing Scott and Sara's dance were to scream anything, and finding out Suvi wasn't originally designed for gay women was the disgusting icing on the cake. Sure, they realized male Ryder having a "treasure trove of laydeeez" was not gonna sit right with anyone, but gods, the direction for this was just awful. They should have just taken a few more months to polish it but they didn't. I enjoyed the game but this is probably the first time a Bioware game has ever really made my sexuality feel unwanted. At least I knew what I was getting in the first two mass effect games. Here, I was teased with a whole lot of nothing and, honestly, that felt far worse.

Unfortunately it has to be Cora. She's sweet and cares for the asari and flowers but then it's like, what stands out aside from that haircut? Her character arc, contrary to her romance, was empty. A shame if I have to be honest.

I mean, he is not really popular. The only thing making him popular is that he is the token gay. Of course, you can prove me wrong on that regard. This seems the place that would provide the least evidence for that though wouldnt you say? It's not that he's popular, it's more along the lines of becoming rather... infamous, which is probably worse than not being popular.

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. 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.

I'm going to assume we keep Ryder, just listing romances, this is what I would do: (Squad) Bi - Human female KISA type. (Squad) Bi - Vetra, returning romance. (Crew) Straight - Pretty blond girl, Yeoman roll. Josephine type romance. (Crew) Lesbian - Some kind of research specialist connected to the main plot, maybe remnant. Human? (Squad) Bi - Reyes, returning romance. (Squad) Straight - Jaal, returning romance. (Squad) Gay - Quarian tech expert. Romance NOT related to sexuality.(Crew) Bi - Weapons specialist, or maybe a new engineer. Typical Turian male. I realize they're not perfectly split, but I don't think it's possible to fit 2/4/2 inside the squad and I tried to balance it against the imbalance this time, so it favors straight women/gay men a little, but not even close to the current gap. If everyone here was re-purposed as squad, I wouldn't complain, for sure. lol Just make the straight girl a biotic type, lesbian an engineer (or maybe infiltrator exploring ruins?) and bi Turian a soldier type. Would work fine. Yes lawd!!!
I play video games to escape the fact that my life is an overly politicized hellscape I can't escape from, I don't wanna run into the same goddamn bullshit in the place I am briefly free from hypocritically anti-gay cocksuckers in office. Just let me enjoy some space booty in fucking peace because if I have to be honest, I need a break from this gay shit * !!! *Gay shit - a constant and slow-burning reminder that gay/lesbian/rainbow people are not equal or seen as people in the eyes of politically dominated world that hates us. See also "glitter-infused turd" "pastel diarrhea" and "shit-flavored condom"

Well, only if they don't replace it. I think a lot of romances from ME:A will be off ship next game. Not "written out", but minimized to make room for new people. They'll still exist and it will be acknowledged you romanced them, but I really can't imagine they'll keep everyone as main cast. That's how the trilogy did it and I imagine ME:A2 and beyond will, too, if they continue with Ryder. If they add a new m/m LI for squad and at least one more side thing, I think most people would consider it a net gain, tbh. It's only really unfair if Gil is the only one to get that treatment and they don't replace him with someone else. It would be easier for them to not I would have thought. I mean they'd have to create a new engineer as well as another shipboard (crew or squad) m/m Li. I mean yeah they did it to the ME1 Lis but they had already planned for there to be an ME3. I'm all for the idea of them adding more but it would serve them better to develop current characters the way the trilogy did. And they need the good will from LGBT players. Especially those of us that will burn down orphanages to ensure we get a happily ever after. Where is this orphanage you speak of?

Not gonna lie, I got a twisted pleasure from letting him get shot. I know it's not fair to blame him for the dev's horrible choices, but it's hard not to be angry with all the gay baiting we endured prelaunch. Your salt is on point. Salt for everyone!

Lol. A totally unrelated note. Actually, I prefer electrocution (Overload) to fire, personally. I'm just glad we have a lot of tools to deal with our unrelated problems. Pull combo'd with Shockwave. Incredible biotic explosions all around.

The Jill and re-population stuff disgusts me so much that it takes the story down more than a few notches. Maybe you should avoid games where the entire premise is colonization then? Just a thought... By the way, what's the the general allergy to kids here? And what is this "asking teh gays to raise kids too is problematic" nonsense? Do your mothers not ask for a cute grandson? Because mine does all the fucking time... and I secretly love it, but don't tell her My parents do ask for grandkids. I tell her the same thing: "I don't want any kids. You have two other sons, bug them for grandkids."

Gay or bi unmasked Quarian male squadmate. Can teeter out the lack of queer male squadmates and content and finally gives us 'mo's a god damn alien for once.

Gay Ryder, even though the salt is strong in that one. Sexy alien dudes and not one of them wants to fuck him. Poor thing. At least he got Reyes, even though everything about it screams last minute. Too disgusted with Gil's barely there romance and Jill to even want to try him out.

This announcement will determine my will for buying future BioWare titles. I have faith in the Dragon Age team, 2 was a hell of a wake up call for them and with Weekes at the helm, I have no doubt they'll do good, but this team I am a bit unsure of. Andromeda needs to be that wake up call, and I do hope this team learns from their mistakes, gets the direction it needs, and uproots those who have held them back from accomplishing great things.

Also, early angara concepts are so... So. Kinda wish they took one of them instead of going "cute squid kitty" look. The fourth one is 10/10. In a way, I'm glad they didn't use these for angara because if our male angara LI looked like this but was straight, my salt would be way too high. Sodium poisoning would have been my death knell

Could use a lot more Reyes. Too unfortunate he sort of stops short on Kadara. Who knows, maybe in an update (won't hold my breath), a DLC (plausable), or a sequel. I like. More of this guy please.

Honestly, I tried to like Gil but his arc with the baby and everything that comes with it was just too damn sloppy. Hell, I've grown to resent his character as a whole because he doesn't feel like a character, he feels like he's this. To me, a character shouldn't feel like a quota and that's unfortunate that I feel that. I'm so sorry, but I think this is the first time I've outright despised the gay option because he only feels like a last minute quota. To everyone else who enjoys him, keep enjoying him; at least you were able to find that. I could only be so lucky.
