Mass Effect News Thread

This thread is so lovely, I took BSN's YouTube account for a bit of a runabout in the Mass Effect YouTube comment threads earlier and needed to come back here for a little fresh air :sick:

Whether people here are more hyped or more skeptical (both are fine), this is a mightily fine corner of the internet.

BSN love for all of you, guys, hyped, believers, esceptists and haters

Reading YouTube comments is a rookie mistake.

There will be F/F romance options.

But we're not planning to release the full list of specific romances before ship.

I don't really get where you get 3/4 of the people from? :huh:

If you are only counting straight male, straight female, lesbian and gay I don't think that straight male only makes up 1/4 of the player base. And that does not include the people that don't like Cora's appearances.

Bioware is basically in a no-win situation when it comes to romances. If they announce them, they'll get a ton of crap from people who wanted character X to be available to them and aren't. If they don't announce them, people get upset because they want to plan their playthroughs.

I want to know who will be available too, but looking at the type and amount of shit Bioware will get, I'd probably choose the keep-my-mouth-shut route too.

The available romance options (and which Ryder they're available for) are the only character spoilers I'm interested in so I hope it gets leaked fairly early on (though I won't be able to play until March 24).

I probably won't decide who to romance until I meet them but I want to know what my options are. The whole not releasing the full list thing for "roleplay" only works for those that don't want to know these things. I understand that they wouldn't release for characters that haven't been revealed or whose existence are plot twists in some way. Doesn't help that I still want to know though. the internet will help me but the trouble will be locating the spoilers I want while avoiding any other spoilers.

Almost in February and still nothing new to share on a whole other aspect of their game? Very strange.

Hope we see some Multiplayer vids soon. Maybe some Angaran footage.
