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

Do you think my female PC that romanced Jaal before the change as a result is changed into a lesbian retoractively?

There are 2 ways of connecting gender fluidity with bisexuality that I can think of:

1) Jaal has multiple "gender identities" defined as "one's personal experience of one's own gender". That would mean that Jaal romancing Scott is currently female thus making it somewhat heterosexual relation from Jaal's point of view (because he identifies as female) and homosexual from Scott's perspective ('cause he's still a dude).

2) We could take the quote "angara have expressed their fluidity in how they perceive gender"and focus on the word "perceive". It could mean that for the Angara, one's gender is what the Angara sees it to be. Sort of "gender is in the eye of beholder", or more bluntly "if I want to bang that, then it's female (or male, respectively)".

My first lesbian romance ever! Woo-hoo, I need my Special Snowflake Achievement. Wait, I already got it in SWTOR by throwing snowballs at droids, but that's a different story.

So now my Ryders will need an even bigger closet that was already holding all their different colored clothing...they'll need more room for all their wigs. 

Mean while back in kotor. I was kissing Bastila..as a female pc.

You are super later to the party.

Yes it could, although according to both in game and real world definitions of gender fluidity, there are many more genders than 2. All of them might use different pronouns like those: 




...so I guess it might take a while until they will both be simply female.

Well.. this is not the kind of effort that you put in a game that is "going on hiatus". I think they are not going to give up on Andromeda yet.

I can never keep up.  I'm too old for all this.

what i find a little odd is how hard bioware goes in order to enforce an agenda . i give a damn about anyone sexuality . i rather have a good and solid story . some decent animations, some decent dialogs . they decided to ditch quality in order to please the LGTB community, i really doubt they are interested in mass effect to begin with  .      but perhaps this explains why female preset and default sara are so hideous and wierd looking .  they wanted them all to look like truck drivers, with a testosterone overdose .

Yeah and I didn't say he wasn't a racist: I said I did think he was a racist. I disagreed with his dislike of the Qun being based on race and him only objecting to their views on magic. His banter shows that he objects to other parts of the Qun philosophy therefore it's not about their race or only about magic.
