I've been reading this thread for months and tbh it's actually pretty mild compared to other message boards/social media. Most here seem pretty level headed to me. Of course things can get heated but we are all passionate people. It happens.

Until they actually give us options to create our own unique Ryders (not face scans you can stretch) from scratch replayability is not going to be enjoyable. I don't understand why they bother to have an archive when you know everyone just uses the same face but with different hair

I miss morally ambiguous characters/love interests. Not to mention decisions. I feel like we were forced practically into sainthood with this game, not only with the main character but with the squadmates as well.

I feel like those interesting characters don't get enough 'screen time' For example: I wanted to know more about Vetra but I feel like we were meant to care more about Jaal even though I didn't. (I'm not bashing Jaal, just a personal opinion) Same goes for Reyes. They left a lot of interesting loose ends that may never be tied up.

I don't mind default Ryder but if I want to play it multiple times (and romance the same two guys) I also want to create my own unique characters and it's hard to do with what the CC options are now

Gil talking about Jill in almost every convo ruins the romance for me (that's just my personal annoyance). I prefer Reyes but that being said I think both Gil and Reyes deserved better as characters and romances.

I actually really like Liam and I know it's unpopular to say but I would prefer him being bi over Jaal but to each their own.

Reyes is a full romance but doesn't get the treatment that a full romance should get in the game if that makes sense. You can commit to him as long as you do all the quests that involve him.

For those wondering about the Reyes romance for the end of the game... He comes to help you in the final battle, you get another wink and get to talk to him a little bit after the final battle. Not nearly as much as I wanted but it would have been amazing if they spent more time on it.

I'm not sure how many others would agree but I think they should make the characters 'playersexual' at this point. I think it's great to represent different sexualities but at the same time someone is always getting left in the dust. This is a fantasy game and I play it to escape the 'realism'. I can understand and respect the arguments against it though.

I kind of feel like the MEA team/EA marketing team was living under a rock when they made certain decisions (character creator) and especially romantic decisions for the game. If they just asked their fans, do you want an m/m romance squadmate? Then I feel like the response would be overwhelmingly 'Yes'. Not that they should even need to ask but still. This game is supposed to be for us. I feel like they should have at least communicated more with us to quell the ignorance. I have to say that it feels nice to have a place where I feel comfortable enough to voice my concerns on this.

I really wish Reyes was a squadmate, that would mean more content for him and more romance content. I think he's definitely my fav out of...the two options m/m gets. Not saying anything bad about Gil! Gil is great but I prefer Reyes' moral ambiguity

I just finished romancing Reyes... I'm guessing the dance was the end of it. I really like Reyes but it's too bad they didn't spend more time on him/the romance. A huge missed opportunity.

All I wanted was an m/m squadmate romance. It doesn't matter who or how they correct it/make it better...just as long as there is fair representation imo. Gil/Reyes are great but they feel like afterthoughts to the story due to less content.

I went into this blind thinking there would be an m/m squad option because it's a futuristic fantasy story where male aliens couldn't possibly adhere to human sexuality gates...I was so wrong I know the original trilogy had this problem but I thought things would only evolve with the new game but they regressed

Why are all the male aliens straight. Explain please. I mean this is hundreds of years in the future...and another species entirely. If I wanted 'realism' I wouldn't be playing a scifi fantasy game :/

Okay I'm talking to danaduchy on Tumblr right now and she's pretty insistent that no Jaal/Scott romance dialogue has been recovered, and she says she's gone through everything. Could someone explain to me how we can reconcile this with what we know from datamining? There was that.. "I love you, Jaal" That scott said that someone posted as an audio file

Reyes looks interesting but I don't want a fling. I want a full romance, which is why I'm still holding onto hope that Jaal is bi. Especially since it's clearly in the code.

The colors you choose for the casual outfit don't actually show up on my character. I hope that changes once the full game is playable? Or is this a known bug? You have to confirm every colour adjustment by pressing space (or the equivalent if you're using a controller; the same button that confirms stuff in other menu screens) It's not actually mentioned anywhere and many people seem to have trouble with this, BW are aware of the problem tho. Oh, thank you so much! I figured it was something I was doing wrong

Sorry if this has already been answered but I have the trial and it downloaded fine. The actual game says the download unlocks tomorrow to preload but does that mean we have to download the main game again, even if we already downloaded the trial? I have the same interrogation. Living in the a**hole of the world in France (the kind of place where we crush grapes with our bare feet to make wine and all. Nah that's just a cliché but it gives you an idea of the place...), I have a very -I mean VERY- low connexion and knowing that what I've already downloaded counts for the main game preload would be a relief... I asked Ian on twitter and he doesn't know either. I really hope we don't have to download it twice.
