What if its the main character, in the next game, that carries out Solas' plans? I'm sure at the beginning of the game, the player will have the opportunity to recruit companions and just like DAI, will start out with 3 mandatory companions. What if one of the companions is an elf that is best buds with Solas? No one knows this, but is well known around the community and willing to help stop Solas. He/she explains some of the things that the main character might/need/want to do to stop Solas. At the end, Solas shows up. At that point, the elf companion reveals that he/she led the main character and others on a quest that ended up helping Solas. I'm sure the main character will be in shock, and have a 'cat-got-your-tongue' look. Welp. He have been betrayed in every previous game. Though I was thinking more along the lines of being betrayed by a Qunari spy. Like, I would love Talis to come back as a companion claiming that she left the Qun and have her loyalties questioned throughout the game and then we find out that, yeah, she's a spy for the Qun. Or someone else as a twist. Like Solas!

I'd prepare for Sten showing up in DA4. He is Arishok after all. But I don't think his relationship with Warden would have that much of an impact on him - as much as he respects DAO's protagonist, he still went back on Par Vollen convinced that the South needs good invading. I agree! And besides the convictions he already had, I'm sure they gave him a thorough re-educating after traipsing around Ferelden with all those bas for a year... And it's extremely unlikely, but I'd love to see some sort of confrontation (even a harshly-worded letter!) between Divine Leliana and the Stenishok. Leliana: It took three Exalted Marches to drive [the Qunari] back to the sea. Sten: We'll do better next time. A confrontation needs to happen. King Alistair too. Inquisition always annoyed me in that in many areas they acted as if characters that have known each other for years had never met. Any one playing Inquisition as their first Dragon Age game would have had no idea that Leliana and Morrigan knew each other. I mean, this group of people traveled around together for a year and stopped a potentially world ending event together. Inquisition glossed over that fact, I hope that DA4 doesn't ignore relationships built over various adventures.

I am guessing that much of the games secondary plot will be related to have to choose between Tevinter and the Qunari, and having to accept that they both are incredibly flawed. Tevinter promotes the slave trade, Qunari are a militant, expansionist religion. Slavery sucks, so you side with the qunari. Well, what happens to all those mages? Because they certainly dont get to chose their own path under the qun. Tevinter is the weaker force. You can push back the qunari, but you may have to use some human sacrifices to do it. Is that acceptable when the qunari attack with nerve gas? Stuff like that. The Qunari also have slaves. I don't really see this scenario going down. The Qunari aren't exactly reasonable. Every other nation in Thedas sided with Tevinter, whom they all dislike, over the Qunari. Wasn't a real contest. I don't see that changing now.

Also I guess it works for gaming too since you game longer than you read This is so true!!! I have a lot of characters in my heart but when it comes to LGBTQ growing up these undoubtedly! About my teen years, Willow and Tara Those characters mean a lot to me, and I just roll my eyes every time I read that fictional characters are just shallow fiction... WRONG. I wish I would have had this movie growing up the thought of a lot of LGBTQ kids watching this while growing up warms my heart Funny, when I was a kid I worshiped Sailor Moon and Sailor Neptune and Uranus became my insta faves when they showed up on screen for the first time. I watched the censored dubbed version where they referred to their close relationship as being "cousins". I had no idea they were gay back then but they still had an impact. The gay resonance is real. Now as an adult I can watch the uncensored original in it's full glory. I'm really glad that LGBT kids, in many places anyway, don't have to suffer through censorship and can readily find media that represents them.

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. I take it you were one of the people who harassed people like ladycounslor? You remind me of how they acted I have harassed no one. Thank you Hanako Ikezawa and Salty Drell for defending me while I was away.

Hey y'all. I'll give the demon it's due. Bioware stepped up and fixed their mistake. I think I will actually purchase Andromeda now...when it goes on sale. There's no way in The Water Temple Bioware is getting $60+ outta me after all this shit. In the meantime I'll be occupying myself with this: www.nexusmods.com/masseffect/mods/80/?This is a mod for Mass Effect 1 that allows same-sex romances without the often associated issues. It uses unused dialog so your Shepard is not misgendered and uses same-sex silhouettes during the sex scene. The save carries over to ME2 and ME3 but the issues within those respective games remain. Enjoy. ^^^^^ Just a reminder. Took a decade but we can play Mass Effect as it was intentioned finally. Happy Pride!!! -And as ariatloak points out, the mod is available for Xbox as well. - The original reddit post I believe: https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/5vvrz9/samesex_romances_mod_for_me1_released/

While I enjoyed DA2 Romances I am against the implementation of playersexual romances (BTW all DA2 Romance options with the exception of Sebastian are canonically Bisexual). I would gladly sacrifice the chance to romance any character I wanted with my identifying gender if that meant the various sexualities were meaningfully represented in the game.
Even in a fictional world where every gender and sexuality was treated equally a gay woman, a bisexual woman and a straight woman would have three completely different life experiences. Playersexuality erases our unique experience in favor of a blank slate.

I have mixed feelings on the Mass Effect franchise 'hiatus' if reports are accurate. On the one hand I love the series. I've played regularly since Mass 1 released and will for years more. But then there was the whole event surrounding MEA. As you may know the flat out bigoted and intentional decision to exclude gay men from the Squad and minimize gay content as well as the queer baiting that took place before release led to my decision to pass on the game altogether. Under normal circumstances this would be crushing but that insult on top of all of the other short comings that should not exists after five years of development and the series of unfortunate choices made by the current MEA team, I'm like: media.giphy.com/media/xT0BKCN7VdWsoQczU4/giphy.gif

So ignoring Jaal since its really hard to say what caused him to be a straight only character despite presence in the game files indicating otherwise, do you have an example of this? A character who was originally intended to be gay or bi but had that content cut and either replaced with straight content or no romance content? Solas and Cullen originally had some LGBT content that was cut. Apparently, Cullen was bisexual long enough that my friend was assured that Cullen was bi for a very long time before it turned out that no, he's straight. Solas, Cullen, Thane and now Jaal. There has been an unfortunate pattern of cutting the gay side of intended bi male romances for years.

It's done. MEA has been refunded. This was never about romancing exactly who I wanted but about fair representation. It would appear that the MEA team has opted for implicit bias against one segment of their fanbase and I cannot tolerate that. I believe in supporting equality with my wallet and will be taking my money elsewhere and as a fan and paying customer of Bioware for 10 years I've never been more sad to do so. I have politely voiced my concerns to the devs on twitter and would also encourage others to do so. Also, as this thread (http://bsn.boards.net/thread/5648/romance-distribution-spoilers-options-achievement) suggest you can voice your complaints here (help.ea.com/en/contact-us/?product=mass-effect-andromeda&platform=ps4&category=report-concerns-or-harassment). To those of you that have decided to purchase the game anyway despite this egregious regression: I understand. I've been excited about Andromeda for SOOOOOO long...le sigh. I hope that the rest of the content the game has to offer is more agreeable and it's an enjoyable experience. Welp. Until next time. static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140125031554/buffy/images/4/40/Halfrek_teleportation_selfless.gif

I'm not ignoring it, I'm pointing out that it's a problem. The sexualization of Dormer in marketing is one piece of a larger issue that many of us in the forums have been decrying. It, that being, overt heteronormalization has left many of us feeling isolated I.E. the absence of Gil in marketing. Anthony is also an attractive actor who played a beloved character in a popular series. Why is it that he had absolutely no video interviews promoting his character who is actually a romance option? Perhaps another casualty was the promise to utilize Sara equally in marketing but instead we receive an abundance of Scott 'finding out for himself' with Cora and Peebee while ignoring that most of the main cast is gay or bisexual. Banking in on Dormer's appeal thrice while ignoring Anthony completely enforces the very corrosive idea that hetero male sexuality is 'normal' and everything else must submit to it or be pushed aside. This idea manifests itself in a variety of ways and in different intensities. Like here in the forums where Dormer, an attractive actress, was auto assumed to have a romance role. Sexy Doctor trope anyone? For this reason I am pleased that Bioware decided to go in a different direction and hope that those of you who admire Dormer would come to appreciate her talents and Lexi in a non sexual capacity. Yeah we're not going down this road. Banking on Natalie Dormer's sex appeal has nothing to do with BioWare's shortcomings on the LGBT front. Neither does Gethin Anthony's lack of videos actually. Care to compare his IMDB page to hers? Dormer's clearly the bigger star. I think they both did a fine job in GoT so I'm not comparing acting ability but star power, reach (I had to google him just now, to learn his name) and yes, sex appeal are not even in the same ballpark. So she got videos, he didn't. And looking at his credits he's been branching out into video games more than she has and has already worked with BioWare in the past on DAI. So I'm fairly confident he was a "normal" hire (though telling people you've got two GoT actors in your game is better than one), while Dormer was clearly a high profile, for visibility hire. One of the videos say BioWare approached her, not the other way around. I'd be curious if Anthony says the same for MEA or DAI. Regardless, this isn't something to add to your agenda, such as it may be. Sex sells and it ain't a hetero/homo thing. The lack of marketing for gay people doesn't change that as I'm sure if/when they put out ads for gay people, they don't feature homely motherfuckers. BioWare paid top dollar for a currently very successful symbol of that and failed to maximize their purchase. That is flat out idiotic and irredeemable. And people who were expecting the full treatment, got shafted and are or will be quite annoyed. People who, I'm sure are not made up solely of straight people. As an asari character, there was a reasonable expectation that she'd be bi and I'm sure Dormer has her share of bi or lesbian fans; thus some fraction of those fans got screwed too. Will your rub salt in their wounds as well? I feel for you if you're unhappy with whatever aspect of BioWare's lacking LGBT content affects you the most. I sincerely wish you'd get what you want. I would not say, "you know what, maybe Gil shouldn't be a romance so you can admire Gethin Anthony's talents and Gil in a non sexual capacity". Seems rather cruel, doesn't it? This is wrong. Sexualization and heteronormity are inextricable. That we are now discovering that m/f romances were heavily favored AND m/m content was shafted and lacking are not coincidences.

That's it. I've decided that once most folks are in bed, I'm going to sit near my laptop and fire up ME1. I really need to shoot some damn geth in the head right about now. I was in a good mood for real world reasons. I still am, now that I'm calmer. I'm not good at being angry nor do I enjoy it. Oh, I still plan on writing the ME:A team a polite letter, but I'm not going to rage. One of my poor friends sent me a PM with the bad news. I cursed more in that PM than I usually do online in a week. Thankfully, she understood. Last night when I finally (6amdontjudgeme) went to bed I was pretty happy. We were certain Jaal would be bi. I'd played some ME3, and okay so Miranda died but I didn't really care that much, and I saved right after buying the party supplies - ready to have my big Citadel party today and then finish the game. Firing it up and doing the party now? I don't think I can. It'd just be me and Grunt drunk rage-crying in the shower together. For the rest of eternity. "Come, oh Reapers. Bring us a quick release from this earthly torment." Wow. I'm exactly at this point in Citadel as well. Miranda is alive tho. I was going to finish it off today but now I don't know if I can stomach it.

I've really warmed up to my initial Ryder over the trial period and think I'm gonna stick with her, apart from some makeup adjustments. I'm a bit annoyed though because it looks like importing from the archives won't work before Tuesday and I'll have to try and remake her from scratch on Monday Reminds me of The Inquisitor's night(midnight?) casual outfit.
