Remember when ME was great?

Was? You mean still is. Andromeda is a great game. I'm going to do a little modding for it to help spruce it up but it's still a fantastic game.

I don't know what do you expect in an apologist fanboy forum to be honest.

Keep believing that. The sane people reside in the middle.

You were so lucky to not know that.

That's the thing. No one was forced into a gay romance. No one was forced to play a non-white character. No one was forced to play a female (well, except those few minutes as Sara). Or, to flip it, no one was forced into a straight romance. No one was forced to play a white character. No one was forced to play a male (except those few minutes as Scott). However, people will act like it was shoved down their throats because *gasp* they interacted with "those people" (maybe). I just don't have any sympathy for them.

Fact is, we live in a day and age where anything that makes people feel uncomfortable is now "bad". So, unless BioWare intentionally set out to offend people, I say all the "SJW" claims are horseshit. Grows some fucking balls.

No argument there. It didn't make sense when the asari in Andromeda were claiming they sometimes used the male pronoun. The closest it has to back up that claim is in relation to "fathers" but that's a little weak. (Tbh, the use of the "father" term was also weak because you have to assume they never used that term until encountering other races.) Jaal, though, I'm in the camp that believes his sexuality was cut content. You could ask all of your squadmates about romance except for him. It was no problem to bring it up to Liam and get rejected. The lack stood out. Plus, people found all the files prior to the game being fully released. You could argue that their screwing around with procedurally-generated planets for three years was the reason why it was cut but it still seems to be true.

Yes, Hainly Abrams was weird in her bringing up the subject but, then, you did ask what brought her. As for Krem, that took following some dialogue paths to uncover so I don't really see it as the same thing. Really don't see Traynor as any kind of fetish. The asari as a race, yes, but not Traynor.

not true.  Gay people are perfectly acceptable in games.  Being an SJW is so much more than that.

It struck me as continuing the inconsistency trend that's been a thing since the first game in the Mass Effect trilogy. 

They're supposed to be a monogender race and exclusively use feminine language when referring to themselves and their culture to the extent that there is no word for Patriarch in their language. And yet, Liara says that gender has no real meaning to them and that she is not really a woman. When Shepard says that both of Liara's parents would be considered the mother regardless of who gave birth if they were human, Aethyta takes clear offense to that, replying that she's not human. I would also mention the developer that said Liara was biologically asexual but he got other things wrong so I won't chalk that up because he might have meant something else. 

The vas Hyperion makes sense: if she wasn't exposed to human culture then it make senses that she'd adopt the cultural practices and traits of the quarian people because that's who she grew up with and was surrounded by. 

I honestly believe that anytime anyone bitches about an SJW, what they're really referring to is an SJW propagandist.

I'm not against social justice. But I don't think that by pandering to the least of our community that It's automatically gonna solve everything.

I'm also currently replaying the MET (on ME1, atm) but am discussing it in the appropriate sub-forum. Y'know, the one about the MET.

the trilogy doesn't have THAT much consistency since ME2 has often been viewed as a massive DLC , adding to the lore but sidetracking from the main quest ( i still loved it most ).

Andromeda basically lacks a strong Ryder from the start . Even if the pathfinder is to shape himself/herself as the story develops , Ryder should have had way more character , goodness, his dad is an N7 alpha control freak and his mom is a scientist . So he ( i don't play female Ryder) should be way more than " an adrenaline junky ... and didn't get killed "... ffs.
But i enjoyed the game after the patches. It's uneven, but it has some clever moments that i appreciate whenever i play.

I do hope BW will pop out an ME5 .

Meanwhile, i cross my fingers over DA4.

( Anthem is hardly on my radar but who knows).
