You don't fix M/M issues by making a straight character bi.

'Yet another alien to bugger up?' Since when were aliens available for gay male sex?

This is the first one, so he can't be 'yet another' one, I think you're confused dearie

Suvi's writer always intended her to be a lesbian though 

I think I read something about the originals being lost or damaged somehow so they can't do that. I mean you could always recreate the space only scenes, but the ones where you have to composit the actors? Tougher to pull off. And then there's the cost...

The reason why I'm having trouble accepting this argument is because Jaal is a fictional character whose development is decided upon by writers. That kind of realization works for a real person but not for a fictional character. For Jaal to have come to that realization, it would have happened through development. That's not what was done, though. 

We know Jaal was not romantically interested in Ryder before they changed his character because we've played through the game. Jaal was not programmed to be interested in Scott, Jaal was not written to be interested in Scott and Jaal was not implemented to be interested in Scott. This is the team changing how that worked by re-programming Jaal, rewriting Jaal and implementing Jaal as also being interested in Scott. Basically, it's re-writing events so to speak: going back and changing how something was instead of building on top of it. Jaal did not develop in-game from a guy who only thought he liked women and then discovered he liked men as well. Jaal was changed by from only liking women to liking both men and women by programmers. *There was no discovery involved. There was no realization that occurred. 

That's why I don't feel that argument really works when it comes to fictional characters and this specific situation. It'd have been different if Jaal's bisexuality came about in DLC since then it could have been the result of personal development in the game instead of just changing something outside of the game. Basically, building on top of something. Maybe that's poorly explained.

Note: *as what is so far known. 

Well, there's a save bet, they didn't come up with it within the last few weeks. That's virtually impossible to implement in that kind of game within that short period of time. So maybe they started working on it, shortly after release or they already had laid out the groundwork. The results would be more than cringeworthy and possibly a bugfest, if they really decided on turning Jaal bi, four weeks ago.

Months ago before any of this was announced I made the point in the Character Romance thread that ideally they would create a new M/M romance, bolster up the quality of the content for Gil and Reyes, or both.

The problem is that we live in a world were time and money are limited resources and those are both rather expensive options for what is honestly a change that is probably not going to make them a great deal of money.

That said BioWare still did make themselves the "inclusive RPG developer" so their LGBT fanbase is generally large enough to actually want to do something about this even if it's not creating an amount of content that would constitute a small DLC more than a patch.

That's where making Jaal bi comes in, especially with the rumour that it was at least at one point being considered to make him bi during the actual development and the possibility that they already had some voice lines recorded. Even if they didn't, setting up the ScottxJaal romance is quite a bit less work than the other alternatives people want.

Where? I don't recall that.

Let's talk about people who never please. Have the most options, the most quality romances, Cora's hair is too manly, Peebee is too ugly, why isn't Suvi a lesbian. Talking about how Bioware only catering to gay when the ones with the most contents are straight. lol

I heard a lot of ridiculous things from you, but the irony of this post is delicious though.

They were never going to be able to fix all the problems with the animations and no Bioware game has good animations anyway. They fixed or at least improved the worst of it, that is a lot more than I ever expected them to do. I mean you really seem to just be projecting, like you aren't truly going to ever be happy with this game are you? I don't even blame you, it's a very disappointing game for many reasons but Bioware deserves some credit for making the fixes they said they would at least. 

But what do I know, I'm a gay person so obviously I just think I am the only thing that matters and I am never happy with everything. 

Suvi is a lesbian. I thought you know that.

And this is what I mean by gay people not being pleased. You immediately assume it's all about straight people. I think you're projecting some serious, deep-seeded hatred. 

I used to date girls and I'm gay AF

yup totally not projecting, no projection here whatsoever.
