Interesting. The results from the 2016 survey didn't really seem to reflect the official stats BioWare gave...

Anyhoo, I actually forgot what I did with some of the choices from Andromeda because I was so detached from the game. :/

But, it was a fun poll to fill in for the MET.

Someone didn't count with people literally alternating two romances for BroShep. Tali and Ash are both my girls, ffs. So naturally I was an arse, chose I only had one throughout (not false) and then chose those three. Hilariously, my answers were Liara for FemShep and Tali/Ashley who are both straight. I think that's a finger, right there.

Well, I can guess at the results. It's gonna say that most of you loved it. Why? Because the lovers of MEA are the only ones still here.

Me? I dunno. I guess I'm a masochist and/or hate seeing great games fall.

I think for the Andromeda questions that asked you who did you give leadership to or whatever, one of the answers should have been "Who are these people" because I had no idea who any of them were when I read the question. I only played through this game once and no one is memorable.

White American dudes 18-24. Not a real shock. That said, given general acceptance of LGBT people in younger generations, it's surprising how plenty of these guys had issues with Kaidan being bisexual. (Not with Steve, though.)

Good, now please, make next logical step and assume why is it? Same thing as with Jaal - changes in the concept of the character. Inconsistency. Nobody condemns originally gay character, but changing an already established NPC does bother people. And it happens every time anything about a character is changed - I even say sexuality is the least of it (only 2 cases in BW games up until now?). But appearance, personality, even "iconic weapon" - every time a game company change something of that, it gets lots of harsh words from community.

Actually, true for any media - movies might be the worse in that case.

I actually disagree here. I believe it's because they saw "masculine" Kaidan behaving in a way that didn't fit with their world view. Cortez, OTOH, was seen crying early on, which served to make him more "effeminate". In any case, the number of men I know who were exclusively heterosexual right up until they weren't is staggering. So...fuck 'em. I have no sympathy.

A pretty flawed survey. Options for opinion on MEA were given only in comparison with the original trilogy. Especially bad since they acknowledged the possibility that not all of those who took the survey have played all or any of the OT games. There was an "I haven't played ME3" option in the first question of the ME3 spoiler section, but then it proceeded to ask me about what choices I made in the game without an option to remind them that I have not played it. A lot of questions would benefit from the "Other:" answer with some space to elaborate. Especially the question about MEA criticisms - they didn't really cover all the existing issues.

Because online surveys do not reflect general gaming community, but only specific active one in online content creation.

So online survey's are rarely accurate, even when there's thousands of participants.

Interesting survey. The race and sexual orientation stuff was interesting. Is cisgender even a real term? I feel like it was made up last year. We need more blunt options.

Seeing how women like Miranda and Isabella from DA are the ones I go for first I would say I:

Clearly this "survey" is flawed! Bioware does have a diverse group of players, however.

Aww man I got two gif-ed! And here I thought I killed the momentum of the post. I did vote quite positively in favor of Andromeda, though it seemed like the survey was leaning into voting poorly of it. Joking over certain race/sex questions aside, I did think there were strangely worded questions and a few could have used more options.

many questions did not take into account that several people have played different variations of the games, made different choices etc.
Those questions forced us to choose one playstyle, or one choice.
I did destroy the genophage in some games, and didn't in other playthroughs.
Did save Mordin and also killed him.
Chose all the possible ME3 endings.
But the survey didn't care about that.

and so on.
