Depends on the franchise. Mass Effect has either been equal or have given more to male characters than female characters, but Dragon Age has either been equal or have given more to female characters than male characters. Yeah, well - DAI had a little extra time and bandwidth, so they tossed in a couple of extra male LIs at female Inkys. This, however, is an ME thread, and ME has provided more LI options to male Shepard. How/why the devs made those decisions, and determined the sexuality of each character is something only they know. Of course, it's also true that quantity =/= quality, but that's not an argument I'm interested in having. DA2 had more options for females as well, having 3 rather than 2 for males. I know it is a ME thread, but the person you replied to tends to talk in general or judge from different IPs so I was just pointing out that depending on what he was referring to he could have been right in that regard. Depends on the franchise. Mass Effect has either been equal or have given more to male characters than female characters, but Dragon Age has either been equal or have given more to female characters than male characters. True. But if you factor in SWTOR ( also a current IP), this skews very heavily towards romances for male characters. And if you also include the past IPs (BG, JE, & KOTOR), you see that BG and JE both had more options for males and KOTOR had more options for females. It's still pretty even overall, though. My count has 40 romance options for male characters (including straight female, bisexual female, bisexual male, & gay male characters) and 37 options for female characters So...exactly what I said? It depends on the franchise.

If you find the fellas to be so very hot and the ladies to be so very not, you might find a male LI more to your liking in this game. Just a thought... I would, the problem is that the only gay romances in Bioware were: - A guy that cried for his husband and then jumped in your bed - Kaidan wasn't that bad, if he wasn't such a bland character, but his switch from "straight to bisexual" was not believable - Iron Bull was just sex, at the end he prefers to be a mercenary than be with you - Dorian... oh I love magical cristal skype, please, leave me to be a magister in your country - Anders... he just blow the opportunity with me. - I don't find Fenris very interesting, and the "wait 3 years for me" is not something I like - Zevran... the guy who just tried to kill you? in your bed? They don't handle gay LI's very well IN MY OPINION, specially since they give more romances to female character than males. First of all, he has those eyes that makes my soul melt Second he is buff as hell And the icon shows A LOT MORE than what you see, look at it Still nothing? Enhance! Nothing? put your glasses on then
1-Disregard, crappy eyesight 2-It's worth noting the AI probably has a fitness requirement considering the relatively low number of people in it.

Of course, it's also true that quantity =/= quality, but that's not an argument I'm interested in having. Depends on how you count them. If you only count those who actually grant the paramour achievement, then it's 8 romances for male characters (Ashley, Liara, Miranda, Jack, Tali, Kelly, Kaidan, & Steve) versus 7 for female characters (Kaidan, Liara, Garrus, Thane, Jacob, Kelly, & Samantha). It's not as skewed if you look at the total numbers. If you start looking at other factors, it changes. For example, if you look at the minimum number of romances in ME3, then you get 2 for both of males and females (Liara & Steve for males and Liara & Samantha for females). Thane's romance does not grant the achievement. mmgh, Thane and voluses... ah, that would be awesome.

At least it will not effect your immersion with the noddle arms which I hate in the female character. Ffs after three games one would though they would solve that problem.

Many in the Andromeda Initiative didn't read the fine print, that prolonged stasis can lead to... unforeseen side effects.

My dear sweet OP, haven't you heard?
This is the Andromeda galaxy- where all The Women are Ugly™ and the men are gorgeous underwear models.
And kudos to all the Sandal in his small clothes spam. That freaking banana in the background always cracks me up.

To oppress you, my dear. Haven't you been paying attention? Oh... But why male models? Think about it, TwoFacey. They are physically enginereed to be perfect assassins. They can access to the most secure places in the Galaxy. And most important thing of all: models don't think for themselves. They do as they are told.

Thane's romance does not grant the achievement. mmgh, Thane and voluses... ah, that would be awesome. I think they were talking about throughout the trilogy, not just ME3. Throughout the trilogy. I have romanced Thane in both 2nd and 3rd game after Kaiden broke up with Shepard (since Kaiden is the only option for a straight female there and news made a big deal out of omg, BioWare puts sex in mass effect at some point and I wanted to see what's the fuss was all about) and never picked another romance. My import into ME3 stated "romanced Thane in ME2", I got the post-mortem letter, but the achievement was not unlocked. I assumed that it is a normal course of things because achievements did not get introduced till ME3, and the authors said that they forgot Thane was a romance in ME2. Dunno what it has to do with male bodies, but yeah, romance is there, yet it does not grant the achievement, no matter how faithful the Shepard is. Unless you have to reject both Kaiden and Liara in ME1 to get it for Thane.

Dunno what it has to do with male bodies, but seeing that Thane's romance is my all time favorite, it was sad. Not that I am going to blame it on omg, male conspiracy. I just have a knack for liking things that are unpopular, so I am used to omissions of that sort. Thane's romance unlocks the achievement in ME2. But it doesn't in ME3. The opposite of Kelly who doesn't unlock it in ME2 but does if imported into ME3.

The opposite of Kelly who doesn't unlock it in ME2 but does if imported into ME3. I was looking at the achievements on the n7 hq, that says "establish or rekindle..." so, I guess it is me3 only. I did continue the romance in me3, and the closest I guess it came to acknowledging it, is showing Thane in the final slideshow, but iirc you get him regardless as a "dear dead friend". (Shrug) I am curious to see if Jack's unlocks b/c she is in the same boat as Thane, ME 2 only. So far, I am still locked out on it. I am getting curious how many runs through Trilogy I will get before it unlocks.

That freaking banana in the background always cracks me up. I know this is not a serious topic but without joking I have to ask which women are ugly in Andromeda? we know the face of like two maybe? I mean I am a lesbian and I find all the guys ugly, sure I am bias there but women? I am not seeing the ugly everyone is talking about. If anything Jien Garson and Peepee seem hot... I really do not get it.

Hell male Ryder is even based in that model, and it was confirmed we will see him nude. Is that really him? Hmm I actually prefer the game version of Scott. The real one is too cut, too perfect. It's a turn-off.

I really do not get it. Oh my. I thought my light-hearted jest was pretty clear. Well I certainly don't think the women are ugly. I was poking fun at the disgruntled posters here who have been complaining about Sara's face. And Sloane's face. And that red headed girl's face. etc. Note the ™ trademark symbol after 'The women are ugly.' I was referencing the mega thread that has been closed and opened and closed again a few times. Speaking of Sloane Kelly. I am convinced that Vivienne's VA is voicing her as well, so she could look like a potato for all I care. She will still be FABULOUS regardless.

So to any of you guys who actually are body shamed and/or made to feel insecure by all of the prime-cut beef on display, do note that those are professional shots. Scott's face model has been airbrushed to perfection in those pictures.
Yes, he has muscles, but you can have them too if you want them enough.
*Puts on mom jeans* Plus, my little Volus shaped OP, It's what's on the inside that counts™ dear.

Not that he'd care, shameless show-off he is, but I've learned never to show personal pics where trolls can get to them. That way I can be a dick to whoever I want without getting my pics defaced.
