No, you're making a fool of yourself by being deliberately contrarian because you seem to want to hate on TW3 for no real reason Says the fanboy. Poor story. Poor antagonists. Repetitive side quests One dimensional characters Generic world with cut and paste design All the subtlety as a teenager screaming he's edgy The game was simply awful. It is not objectively great despite the religous zealotry of your fanboyism annoyingly screams. Anyone can post random bullshit, back it up What makes characters like the Bloody Baron or Ciri one dimensional? What makes the monster contracts or things like the assassination of Radovid repetitive? There are valid criticisms to level at TW3, it does have weak main antagonists in the form of the Wild Hunt leaders (though I'd say it makes up for this with the likes of the Crones).

Laugh all you want, at least I'm not on CDPRs site praising a subpar game over one of their titles. Of course it would take work for me to find a poorer open world RPG than TW3. Do you see hoy fanboys come off as yet? And still am not making a fool myself on a site devoted to a dev I hate like many of you are. No, you're making a fool of yourself by being deliberately contrarian because you seem to want to hate on TW3 for no real reason

The issue with Cora isn't some ridiculousness over "cultural appropriation" its that its the central aspect of her character and gets repeated to an insulting degree. Nah the cultural appropriation could had been cool to explore but makes no sense with Asari, that is why the whole thing is ridiculous. It is more a Viking fase compared to the real world. I mean its a bit more than a phase in how it comes across. She served with their military as part of an interspecies initiative that's what she should have focused on, not quoting asari poetry to us every other line. I also don't trust BioWare withing 500 yards of anything relating to "cultural appropriation" they already have a reputation for totally unsubtle examination of social issues (particularly in ME).

yeah there's a lot more reasons to dislike Cora one note characterization, uninteresting backstory, bland romance I adore Cora, she's and Peebee are my favorites, but I do admit her backstory is weak. It's the copy and paste biotic sob story true but did you know that she served with Asari?

Yeah, pretty much. Cora's inexplicable clumsiness got heavily criticized. Peebee's sexual aggressiveness got lambasted. Liam's been unfavorably compared to Kaiden and Jacob. And of course Suvi and Gil have been called out as being fairly limited content-wise. Besides, Vetra I think every romanceable character on the Tempest has been hit with the salty stick. Holy shit people got upset that cora is a klutz. That's scrapping the bottom of the pot. Also Peebee is a total horndog and I think it's the funniest thing ever because sometimes its a wonder the poor girl can operate yeah there's a lot more reasons to dislike Cora one note characterization, uninteresting backstory, bland romance

What is Cora's inexplicable clumsiness? I've got issues with her, and poor hand eye coordination is not among that Her tripping on the rock so Scott can catch her during the garden scene I'm guessing. ah well that's a stupid nitpick

There's 10 romances. I just can't help but think they had no intention of continuing on with Ryder. I could be wrong, but I just can't see it at this point.
Time will tell. I'd rather have a new protag that has decent gay options from the start though. Meh, maybe it's just too late to salvage Mass Effect for me though? I don't know...I've never been this annoyed with a game before-that wasn't an nes game that is. those things were seriously junk sometimes.
I've got a competently different feeling. They made Ryder and Ryder's SAM way too important and left way too many things unsolved to not continue with him/her. And those aren't things that can be solved via DLC. because BioWare would never leave a game with unanswered questions *shakes fist impotently at ME3*

Please point out where I said my interpretation was 100% what was intended and there is no room for other interpretations, I've only said what I think the writers were going for. I'll make no claims to having the absolute truth. Also. Please do not imply that I have no empathy for LGBT gamers and their problems with representation.It's seems you don't know what empathy means. In the past, your response to complaints about lack of representation was an eyeroll emoticon. If you had empathy you would be feeling the way we do as if it were actually happening to you; and if you meant to say sympathy well, you sure do like to point out how overly sensitive we all are. Doesn't seem very sympathetic to me. Don't sell yourself as an ally, it's gross and know one believes you. If you want to say I'm a bigot just come out with it

Of course, and my interpretation is no less valid and has evidence to support it, namely Gil's sarcastic and dry responses, which even if they are used often as a mask for his true feelings does not mean they are always used as such. But then we can not know either way for sure... so? So what? There's no point in debating and discussing literature if we can't determine what the 100% intended message is?

Still, though, if all interpretations are valid, then you're in no place to claim that LGBT fans have no bone to pick with how he's written. I certainly never said they couldn't. I disagree with that interpretation and think it overlooks other aspects in the game, but I never dismissed it as wholly invalid.

Trying to show that there are alternative interpretations to Gil and Jill's relationship that are not dependent on BioWare being homophobic and are instead relatively consistent with the relationship we see between Gil and Jill. We don't see much of their friendship in general. It is not enough information to construct a cohesive idea of what sort of relationship they have. So. All we have is interpretation. I guess. Of course, and my interpretation is no less valid and has evidence to support it, namely Gil's sarcastic and dry responses, which even if they are used often as a mask for his true feelings does not mean they are always used as such.

And we cannot conclude firmly that he indeed does not want a baby with her, he is at the very least somewhat open to the idea. Whether or not this is his own conclusion because of an issue his friend raised and that he hadn't fully considered (which I personally think is more in line with Gil and Jill's relationship and what was intended) or him succumbing to the pressure his friend is putting on him is a matter of debate. I think you're getting too hung up on the language Gil used when he wasn't entirely serious. I have one question: When I wrote, that Gil don't want a child with her or without her?can you rephrase this? I'm not sure what you're asking.

A curious defense I must admit. "I don't need proof, my feelings are enough" You are the one who thinks he knows what devs meant. Are you telepathic or what? I don't believe they actually talk with you, telling you their intentions. Every line they wrote can be interpreted in several ways and your interpretion is not more right than anyone others. But you clearly have some fundamental lack of empathy on your side, which allows you to keep pushing your opinion as a fact. Please point out where I said my interpretation was 100% what was intended and there is no room for other interpretations, I've only said what I think the writers were going for. I'll make no claims to having the absolute truth. Also. Please do not imply that I have no empathy for LGBT gamers and their problems with representation.

Yet all the evidence for both sides comes down to interpretation of previous lines, examining tone, and inference. But that's kind of all you have in a video game.... except you trying to bring in real life parables, which are wildly variable... so... ??? what are you doing? Trying to show that there are alternative interpretations to Gil and Jill's relationship that are not dependent on BioWare being homophobic and are instead relatively consistent with the relationship we see between Gil and Jill.

And this just was, that he is a fucking problem in her eyes, if he don't want a baby with her.And we cannot conclude firmly that he indeed does not want a baby with her, he is at the very least somewhat open to the idea.
