Okay, so we've answered the OP right? From this thread, I think the consensus is that the average straight male gamers' somewhat-suspect and possibly-imaginary furor over the 'subpar' looks of Cassandra and for some reason Sera, characters from a separate franchise, in all likelihood did not contribute in a significant way to the rage that has been directed at Mass Effect Andromeda. Yes? Yes.
Because honestly we have moved the goalposts to answer this damn thing so many times we are on another playing field.

Those must be the average gamers everyone in here is talking about! Which one? The fat guy or the blow up doll? Oh the guy. His righteous babe there is what he has decreed true beauty is, not one of those "Bioware Ugly" type wimmens.

As a hetero male I also don't find the "L haircut" attractive. And I think the AVERAGE male would agree with us. But in this echo chamber, this view is heresy. That said, I want to repeat, I don't think most average guys have anything against others wanting that style in games. We'd just like there to be a few Yennefers. LOL well yeah we'd also would have loved a few Nathan Drakes and Cullen Rutherfords but instead we got a few trolls, in fact I'd argue the men were way worse looking than the women but no one is making a big deal out of that (in fact the women were pretty attractive imo) it's probably just engine limitations, cause if you see the face model for Liam he was pretty good looking but the end result was less than great, It shouldn't stop you from enjoying the game and romancing whoever you liked the most, because who cares? Romances are like 20mins of a 80hr game and It's not like you need to find a character physically attractive to be attracted to them and see them fade to black with your PC If it means that much to you though and you don't like the women just go for one of the men that you find attractive, and if you fall far too straight on the spectrum to enjoy a gay romance just create a Sara that you consider attractive and romance the guy you feel is more similar to yourself It's just not that big of a deal, beauty is subjective anyway Fair enough. 20 min. But I remember some studies in psych class which suggested women are much more flexible in terms of what they consider erotic. Watching videos of various sexual encounters, blood flowed to women's genitals during all possible encounters, while men failed to get aroused while watching M-M encounters. As Bioware gamers, you're luckier than I am:)

I'm confused. DAI lacked what some would perceived as beautiful womans and therefore males would for some reason be afraid and hate the game? And MEA as well? Males are fragile and touchy like that, I guess? Or just the average male gamers as defined by the OP?

As Bioware gamers, you're luckier than I am:) What about F-F encounters? How do male genitalia fare when exposed to that imagery?
Honestly, if Suvi, Cora, PeeBee & Vetra do not cause the desired response in a male, I suggest playing first thing in the morning or checking out the MM options. Just in case.
as a female BioWare gamer I don't feel I am particularly lucky, after seeing male PCs get better and more numerous options for twenty odd years, and having to make a male PC again in Inquisition to pursue a romance that interested me. I've played every BioWare game to date including all eight SWTOR Class Stories, and the only ones were I got a romance I truly liked for a female PC were ME2/3 (Thane), DAO (Alistair), DA2 (Anders) and Andromeda (Reyes).
That's 14 misses vs 5 hits.

Surely I'm not the only one remembering all the female jealousy towards Isabela before DA2's release?
"I'm never going to recruit her! There's going to be only one hot chick in my party and it's gonna be meeeee!"
David Gaider commented on that too at some point.
Not that it had necessarily anything to do with anything...
That said, I find Cassandra pretty darn attractive and the "man jaw discussion" concerning her utterly ridiculous. She's a great looking warrior woman, and I for one was grateful for the lack of Miranda style ass shots. Those were kinda insulting, like the game telling me "yeah, I know what you really like about her, *wink wink nudge nudge*". Pfff.

If I recall, all they did was have Ashley grow her hair out. I fail to see how that destroyed the character. On another note, I hadn't looked at this thread for a few days and wow! We're getting hung up over haircut terminology? Actually, Ashley might have had a haircut or did not change the hair length at all. In ME1, her hair was long and pulled in a full bun at the base of her skull. In ME3, her hair hang lose and was shoulder-length.

Those were kinda insulting, like the game telling me "yeah, I know what you really like about her, *wink wink nudge nudge*". Pfff. For me it had more to do with Isabela's outfit. The PCs was covered in solid gray robes chin to toe, and had really zero options but to be covered in the solid gray robe. That's not a big deal, but what is a big deal is that Isabela hit on the PC's boyfriend hard and fast multiple times, right after asking the PC if they were together very obviously setting herself up as a PCs rival. The face itself did not make her into a PC's rival, it was the attitude. And, the PC has only one counter, and that's to kick Isabela out or not recruit her in the first place.
A lot of other female characters in Bio games that are designed to be sex-magnets have very unpleasant attitude, like Viconia, Bastilla, Miranda and Morrigan.
So, in short, it's the attitude and their attempts to challenge or boss the PC that makes them undesirable as companions, not their faces or hairstyles. In comparison, male companions rarely display this type of attitude.

In comparison, male companions rarely display this type of attitude. Yeah, I get that flirting with someone's boyfriend doesn't make a female character more popular with the ladies, especially if there's no dialogue option available to set them straight. I can't remember playing a romance where a male character hit on the girl I had picked, so you clearly have a point there. Male companions aren't set up to be the protagonist's rivals in romance matters. Instead, BioWare seems to prefer male companions to be submissive with a tendency to complain (Anders, Carver, Fenris, Alistair). And that's a trait I don't like in people, female and male alike. But I suspect we let people or characters we find attractive get away with more than those we don't - while I agree with you about their personalities, I still romanced Bastila and Morrigan.

But I suspect we let people or characters we find attractive get away with more than those we don't - while I agree with you about their personalities, I still romanced Bastila and Morrigan. You have a romance conflict in the romances for a male lead and a female NPC, but you can counter the rival. For example, you can fight off Josephine's suitor (and, yes, a lesbian arc has that as well); you can win Risha over and convince her to marry your Smuggler, not her perfect suitor; Bhaalspawn inherits Jaheira from Khalid (though there is not much active rivalry there) and Aerie clearly prefers the PC over Haer'Dalis. Female chars more normally get a dead +1 in the relationship.
There is nothing wrong with a rivalry in a relationship, if you can actually have a chance to win it and have a last word, but I don't recall having a satisfying moment like that. The female NPCs often has the last (and witty) word in. In SWTOR, you at least can marry them, and dump them after as a male, and get them really upset about it. It's meta-gaming, but it is somewhat satisfying.
Speaking of which, the OP should check out SWTOR, maybe females there are photogenic enough for him.

You felt Bastilla had an unpleasant attitude? ....I guess yeah, she did thinking back on it....but, I could understand where she was coming from. So I could easily brush it off. Viconia, Miranda and Morrigan - yes - they are rather unpleasant. They can soften a bit (in Morrigan's and Viconia's cases, only if you romance them) and by befriending Miranda, she actually warmed up to me a bit as a person. I actually couldn't stand her when I first met her (partially due to her being that "Cerberus Cheerleader"). The other half was because I found her to be a bitch, plain and simple. Morrigan, I also didn't mind. Sure, I hated it when she ragged on Alistair, but I got along with her to a degree because I didn't see why I couldn't still be polite and civil with her. Viconia - that one I get. It's the old AD&D mentality of the Drow (which still does persist to this day, but I remember so many just....being shocked that Bioware included a drow in the game in the first place). And it's a little disappointing that unless you do romance her, you can't really take her with you (unless you're evil, or you're VERY careful in how you construct your non-evil party). I've done it with a good aligned character and it was nice to see how much of a change she goes through from the start of Baldur's Gate all the way through to Throne of Bhaal.

Just imagine all those characters as young men. Bastil, Miran, Morgan and Vicon. Same dialogue, same attitude. Still think you'd be interested in understanding where they are coming from, and what made them like this, and looking forward to them transforming in responces to your kindness and forebearing? Or would you just rather point them to the door? also, well, Alistair is the PC's boyfriend, so when Morrigan comes down on him, she basically tells the PC that she, the PC, likes a dirty, stupid floormat, that, she, Morrigan, is too good for. After which she shows up, and tells the PC that the only way for everyone to live, is for the PC to put someone she loves in Morrigan's bed. one reason I like Andromeda is that we dodged this archetype .

Mmgh, if they did not specifically said it was Ashley, I would not have recognized her as the same character as Ashley in ME1 visually. I would have preferred less alterations to increase the familiarity. Other than that, I did not have problems with her in game 1 or 3.

If Cassandra looks like a man then consider me a flaming homo. This assertion that Andromeda failed because there weren't enough "hot babez" is just nonsense.

Nah, according to the OP, you are not an AVERAGE male gamer. The test consists of two questions: do you like Yennifer and do you like Cassandra. Like, as in sexually. If your answer is not Y/N, you don't qualify as an AMG.

If Cassandra looks like a man then consider me a flaming homo. This assertion that Andromeda failed because there weren't enough "hot babez" is just nonsense. Nah, according to the OP, you are not an AVERAGE male gamer. The test consists of two questions: do you like Yennifer and do you like Cassandra. Like, as in sexually. If your answer is not Y/N, you don't qualify as an AMG. I liked Yennefer Didn't like Cassandra Woohoo! AMGeeeee!

Simply Google Image: Hollywood female actor. Voila! Average male idea of beauty. Hollywood knows where the money is. No one in DAI or MEA looks like this. Bioware chose not to follow the money. They chose to fight Lookism, instead.

Nobody looks like Yennifer either? In fact, Yennifer and Josephine look almost exactly alike? Josephine resembles Megan Fox imo?
I don't know if you have seen my suggestion, but have you tried SWTOR? The female face models there might be something you like better than DAI/MEA variant. And you can pick between customizations for the NPCs, including all the females, to taste. If not, well, I am pretty sure there are mods for DAI at least.

They chose to fight Lookism, instead. At what point are you going to stop hiding behind your illusion of "the average male gamer" and admit this is really about what you want. I have no problem with you saying you'd like more hot women in your video games. But stop trying to lump a whole a group of society under one description and pretending you're having this argument for their sake, while you act as if you're above them.

I do want romance choices more in line with conventional beauty standards. No argument there. Ive said many times that I will not apologize for my desires. But I find it hard to deny that the majority (say at least 60%) of male gamers would agree with me. That's a lot of money for Bioware to ignore. As a long time Bioware fan, I really don't want to see ME disappear.
