Patch 1.08 notes and discussion (June 8, 8AM PDT)

Congrats on giving fans what they wanted in terms of an improved CC, couldn't care less about Jamal, and had no idea this was an issue. Personally I would have liked more hetero human LI choices but that's just me...

You really don't see why it would be an issue for gay men to have no options on the squad while also not being able to get every achievement?

Im wondering the same thing...

It doesnt invalidate the player being straight that their LI isnt.

Why would a bi character love their current partner any less ? At best Sara got her man over all the others, female and male. She's just that awesome.


As a straight female I dont see what im losing here, even when squinting very hard. Jaal cant dies, wont cheat on you, wants a lasting relationship...

You're trying harder than me.

will be intersting to see the 2 new heads

I was annoyed only female inquisitors could marry some of their lI while males couldn't

I'm jazzed they added an appearance customizer on board the Tempest. I figured they'd wait a while before doing that, even though it looks like it would be pretty easy to do. I'll probably keep my current Ryders' faces, but I'd like to check out the expanded CC, and it's nice that I don't have to start a new game to do so.

The fire selection mods sold by vendors look interesting. I still think it would be nice to have an actual fire selector switch, but whatever. That's probably not something they could do easily, so weapons mods with semi-auto, burst, and full auto are the next best thing. I'm assuming there are differences in accuracy, range, and stability, but I'd like to know if there are any differences in damage, too, and how exactly the rate of fire is changed. I guess I'll find out soon. That reminds me... I still hope for a better Mattock rifle some time...

I never said that, I only said that we could not have any exact conclusion on his sexuality because he never said that he was not attracted to man, just that he was attracted to woman, which did not mean he could not be attracted to man, , the fact that a man have attraction for woman does not negate bissexuality or bissexuality with preference. that is the only thing I said

If in the game he said to scott ryder, "male do not interest me", all right that would have been againt his character to change it with a patch. But the fact that his previous romance were only female does not mean he could never be attracted to a man, as I said with someone else, there is a high chance he is discovering his bissexuality with scott ryder.

According to the wiki, jaal is only 27 years old : masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Jaal_Ama_Darav

Some bissexual people discover their bissexuality later in their life, it could totally be the case for jaal. the fact that he is said to be a lady killer (Where did you saw that exactly? which trailer or tweet from developer said that? I want a proof of what you are saying at this moment), and being a lady killer does not mean he can never be attracted to a man, as I said he could be discovering his bissexuality at this very moment, having tons of previous experience with female does not prevent developing an attraction to a specific male.

And If you have problem with bi romance, and you are only ok with straight male for your female character which means you want a character to be exclusive to your orientation and gender, that is your problem and ONLY yours. I am straight and I have no problem with a bissexual romance. Heck from the very beginning all of my favorite romance of any bioware game have been bissexual, liara, lelianna, merill, josephine, peebee. The fact that those character could be attracted to a female shepard, warden, hawke ,inquisitor or ryder why would it be a problem? that does not matter because they are in relationsip with the character I am playing.

And that is the same for jaal right now, what does it matter that jaal become bissexual? He will be just as attracted to a sara ryder, the fact that he could be attracted to a male ryder what does it change for you? What do you lose in that?

And yes straight male might have been the focus previously, but as 2014 showed for bioware, that is no more the case, sometime its the straight male in MEA, but sometime its the straight female like in DAI where they had twice more romance than any orhter sexual orientation and gender. So no I don,t see the part where your demographic is forgotten by Bioware.

Origin for me is still showing 1.07 but the net says it's available now. Is it because I am in Australia?

Let's keep it calm, please.

Really nice to see requested changes for some players.
I hope everyone can be pleased for those individuals, even those who do not benefit personally from the additions.

It's not out yet.

Ok what gives. I didn't think it was out but I'm reading it is. I click update and now I have to do a repair and it is still 1.07?
