I respect the organization of people who manage to keep track of saves before cutscenes they deem important. I don't have it in me. I've made so many separate saves, I had serious trouble finding the right ones .

Everything Nicholas Boulton touches seems to turn to gold it seems With some animation fixes and improvements, I think this Han Soloesque romance is going to possibly be one of my all time favourites I think a lot of the credit for how awesome he and his romance are belongs to his writer. Though yeah, his voice is definitely a big part of the appeal .

I'm pretty sure that they're just supposed to be best friends. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were originally supposed to be together and then they ended up making him gay because they realised that they still needed a gay male LI. Would explain how messy and weird his whole romance story is. (Then again, we briefly thought that about Suvi and she was apparently supposed to be gay all along so who knows.) I'm surprised they didn't make her an asari . In the same vein as that, "There! Problem Solved!" mentality, is anyone else surprised by how messy certain scientific concepts are in this game? 1. The Scourge is dark energy: Did they bother to read up on dark energy at all? Or did they just think, hey dark energy is a mystery and the scourge is a mystery so obviously DE = Scourge! There! Solved! I haven't finished the game yet and maybe there is a better explanation for this but so far the game's assumptions about DE are just wrong. 2. How the Black Hole gravitationally lenses objects that are IN FRONT of it: WTF? The only way a Black Hole acts as a gravitational lens is for objects BEHIND the black hole whose light is affected by the BH's gravity enroute to the observer. Honestly, was Michael Bay the scientific consultant for this game? The guy who thought that Cybertron suddenly appearing that close to Earth would have no gravitational consequences and Cybertron would just happily hang out there in space? Lol! It's moments like this when I'm grateful that I'm an enormous noob when it comes to physics and astronomy . #spacemagic

Wishful thinking maximized. In that case Reyes is a biter, Gil likes pony play. Obviously Gil's thing is a breeding/daddy kink. He just wants to knock Scott up. Or the other way round, depends what Jill says. If he gets advice from Jill, then it'll definitely involve a turkey baster LMAO.

The animators at BioWare need to know for the gay sex scenes they're currently slaving away on. Wishful thinking maximized. In that case Reyes is a biter, Gil likes pony play. Gil probably has an impregnation kink LMAO. On a more serious note, we pretty much know that Reyes has a thing for semi-public sex. I mean, the game suggests quite strongly that he likes doing it in random storage rooms that people could walk into at any time . I could totally see the biting thing, too. He just generally seems like the kind of guy who likes to get a little rough.

His thing with his Dad got tiring after the first time I romanced him. Like, I don't need to me reminded of my coming out struggles when I romance the gay guy. Also, the fact he feigns shock and scandal when you admit you've "more than just done things" annoyed me. Plus the fact you sound like a total idiot when you ask him to explain "prefers the company of men".
It's Cassandra for me in DA:I, I'm afraid. I didn't even look away when I saw her bewbs. Reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons when John Waters makes a guest appearance as a gay shop keeper who befriends Homer but Homer doesn't notice he's gay. Marge: "He prefers the company of men, Homer..." Homer: "Well who doesn't??" Haha, I just rewatched that episode earlier today . And yeah, that stuff is a little annoying though for me, personally, it's fortunately not annoying enough to ruin Dorian and his romance as a whole.

I just had the non-romance conversation with Gil about Jill and the baby. So is non-romanced Gil supposed to be in love with her or what? That whole conversation seemed very off I'm pretty sure that they're just supposed to be best friends. But I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were originally supposed to be together and then they ended up making him gay because they realised that they still needed a gay male LI. Would explain how messy and weird his whole romance story is. (Then again, we briefly thought that about Suvi and she was apparently supposed to be gay all along so who knows.) Apparently Bioware wants us to think that Jill is a based fertility godess that is a blessing in the life of Gil, even if we don't like her. I'm surprised they didn't make her an asari .

If they end up going down the bi Jaal road, I just hope Reyes and, by extension, Gil will get some love, as well .

Ok why does this matter? If we're getting down to position, no one on Kadara has bathed recently. Vivienne does not approve. The animators at BioWare need to know for the gay sex scenes they're currently slaving away on.

I'm kind of annoyed by how used I've gotten to Reyes' CC face now. Though there are still some things that bother me about it (like some of the weird wrinkling across his cheeks and the fact that he and my Scott have got exactly the same freckles).

He definitely bottoms for Reyes . Not so sure about Gil. My guess would be that he and Gil switch but that wasn't an option so I just went with Scott bottoming for both.

I killed Kalinda. I mean if we are gonna have ex drama anyway, even if I'm not banging Peebee, I want to at least take part in the story. I may be a bad person....D: how could you? Honestly I let her live because that's what Peebee wanted and yeah. (Why she couldn't throw you the thing biotically and still save her is beyond me). Because that wouldn't have made sense .

Okay, so do we have examples of gay male characters done better (or, could it be... well written?). I haven't played Dreamfall Chapters, but Kian Alvane pops up quite a bit whenever I talk to my friends about it. But I don't know. EDIT; Hmm, turns out he's also voiced by Nicholas Boulton. It's been some time since I played it and my memory isn't the best but I think Andrew in Technomancer was relatively well-written (though I don't think the game ever explicitly states whether he's gay or bi...?). His story also didn't revolve around his sexual orientation in any way from what I can remember and he was generally a fleshed out character with his own background and personality, not a walking stereotype. Then there's Bill from The Last of Us who was a relatively minor character and part of his story does revolve around his dead boyfriend/husband. But he was well-written, nonetheless. I'm sure there've been a few more in games I haven't played.

A new squadmate is just not going to happen. In DLC, maybe, but not patched into the main game. I know, it's shitty and I'm not saying that you should settle for less but I don't think anyone should get their hopes up, either, because it's not going to happen. DLC is fine as long as it's not post-game. I would prefer not to have to pay again for the same experience that others already have but I understand that the scale of content I'm looking for would never be green-lit without supporting itself through additional revenue and I don't expect the DLC to only contain a squadmate and nothing else so it's not like I wouldn't be getting something additional for my money. It's a compromise I can happily live with if it means I can enjoy the game. I meant post-game DLC, actually (which, even that is unlikely, I think). I just really can't see them adding another squadmate to the main story.

OK so here are the two fics I've written so far for Reyes x F!Ryder on AO3. First Impressions is fluffy. A Close Encounter is decidedly NSFW. I want to write the cave scene so bad. The tension is intense and I think the conversation would have been much more in-depth than what we got but I understand game limitations etc. And phew *fans self* is that kiss hawt. I think I'll wait till my second playthrough where I can pace the romance better throughout the game before writing more. There's a couple of us writers here - are any more WIPs out there for this fabulous Reyes x Ryder romance? M/F isn't really my thing so I don't think I'd enjoy anything NSFW but I'll have a look at the fluffy one . I have been doing some silly drabbles (they aren't very polished and they're also not necessarily my headcanon, mostly just a fun way to try and get myself back into writing and to try and get a feel for the characters) about how the characters around Scott would react to his crush on/relationship with Reyes. I've finished three of them so far but I might write more (there's nothing pornographic in them): archiveofourown.org/works/10504050/chapters/23176785I'm also writing two stories for the kink meme ATM. I just hope I'll be able to finish them .

His email made it sound like more than a kiss happened in the cave.
A place where he just murdered someone, with your crew inside, and Ryder in full armor. Very romantic:) Hehe You misspelled kinky . But in all honesty, I find that slightly messed-up side of their relationship incredibly interesting. I mean, they went out and killed his ex-girlfriend together LOL.

*phew* Finished my contrary run late last night, and I'm so glad I don't have to romance anyone else but Reyes, now, ever. I'm gearing up for Insanity now ( wish me luck, I'm really afraid our inability to save as we wish is going to come into play, here). I gotta say, I can't really get why everyone thinks squad mate romances are better than what they gave us with Reyes, because with the painfully slow build up with Jaal, I didn't feel like I got any more romantic content than we do with our non-squad LI. It really feels like "something" between Reyes and Ryder, from the moment you meet him, and so much of what I got with Jaal was exactly the same as it was on the friendship path. Also, not to make any enemies here, but his sex scene was cringe and I do belive we get more kisses with Reyes, all totalled. But more content is more content, whether it's romance content or not. You get to talk more to your character of choice, you get to take them on missions, you get to know them better, etc. I don't think anyone in this thread is going to argue that any of the specific squadmate romances in MEA are better than Reyes' romance from a qualitative standpoint (in terms of writing, anyway - in terms of animation or whether the LI actually got a unique face mesh (FFS), many of them are), it's mostly about quantity.

I suppose we could try to do some sort of LGBT fan art/fan fiction/etc. event or sth? Draw every character being gay with Scott or Sara. I'll contribute a few. I guess we should also draw them a lesbian and gay sex positions guide so they'll know how to animate that shit properly. Or we could just link them to some gay porn, I guess .

Should we do something here for pride month? Or just keep being ourselves, chatting about gay shit? That sounds pretty good. We have to go around glitter bombing trolls, giving women make overs, and teaching guys how to dress. Otherwise Bioware will deny our right to be gay, cause we won't make Sense tmYup. And don't you forget shouting "yaaaas, queeen!" every 30 seconds . Yaaaas, queeeen! Or is it baroness? I'm confused.
