It is weird that we don't know like, anything about this elusive Gil. Really just stinks of completely irrelevant character whose sole purpose is to be a gay romance (if even that).NO DON'T YOU GO JYNXING IT. GIL WILL BE AMAZING. *Curls up in fetal position*

We know next to nothing about crewmates. We saw Kallo but we have no clue on his personality, Lexi we know a bit more, but just from yesterday. It's possible they'll show the other crewmates in the coming week. I don't think crewmates will be irrelevant characters (expecially since they have their own quests).

This honestly sucks. As a straight woman I get Jaal, but all my male friends who want him don't and it's breaking my heart and making it harder to look forward to it. We dont know it on 100%. He still can be bisexual. It's not looking good, but I have a small amount of hope remaining for my friends.

They might as well just confirm Gil at this point. There are only five guys on the ship (Liam, Jaal, Drack, Kallo, & Gil). We know that one of them is gay/bi. There's mounting evidence that it's not Liam, Jaal, or Drack. Kallo is a salarian, so likely asexual. And Gil can flirt with Scott in the reviews. Just come out and confirm him already. Give us information about him. Show us a picture of him. Talk about his character. Give us an idea of how important he is to the plot. Instead, they literally highlight every guy EXCEPT for Gil. Just fucked up shit. It can be 1 gay male and 1 bisexual. Why not? Two different.

It does pose somewhat unfortunate implications that the only two crewmembers of the Tempest we've not seen are the gay man and the gay woman. We didn't even know they existed until a week ago. Doesn't exactly indicate that they are the most important or plot-centric figures. Uggghhhhhh Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...... Damn it. That is an excellent point that I hadn't considered.....

I don't think that Gil and Suvi will be totally irrelevant. If there are only 10 characters on the Tempest, then they have to be pretty prevalent. But it really sucks that we didn't even know that they existed until YESTERDAY. I mean, we knew that there was a science officer, but we didn't know who it was. And Gil was a total unknown until yesterday. I'd feel much better if they'd show him. Throw us a bone and at least SHOW HIM. Just rumors that he's really handsome. But that's not really going to help us because I'm sure that what is "really handsome" to me won't be "really handsome" to everyone.

It was more of shady jab really, I'm way over ME3 drama (5 years c'mon) Doesn't mean I'm just gonna nod and blindly buy what sounds like pre-emptive excuses for potentially obvious imbalance and the reasons for one. Taking "we'll see about that" approach, what info is coming out right now definitely doesn't make me optimistic, nor their refusal to even tweet a funny "Maaaaaaybe" gif to any squad m/m romance questions like they do for anything else. Looks just fishy Indeed. T heir general avoidance of such questions really sounds the alarm that players who wish to engage in M/M squad mate romance are out of luck.
The "we didn't want a video gamey feel to the romances" (in a video game LOL ) especially made me roll my eyeballs so hard I nearly fell out of my seat. Perhaps I'm speaking from the minority, but "player sexual" LIs really was the way to go and they shouldn't have let people moan it away from all future games with their cries of "UNREALISTIC!!!!" (again, in a video game LOL ) Like I said, if they chose to take that page from the original trilogy and neglect gay male romance in Andromeda I will help send a message to them by not giving them a single penny of my money. It's really just that simple.Really? "Sounds the alarm? Did you even FOLLOW DAI before release? They did the same exact shit with everything they released or didn't release. If their "avoidance" of questions somehow sets off an alarm, then it's quite apparent you're not familiar with how BioWare releases information about their games. They used the same statement about DAI romances as well, they didn't want them to feel "too gamey", but then they ended up being the same exact romances that were in their previous games except for "Oooo boobies and ass". Oh boy, I bet BioWare is quaking in their little booties now! One person is saying they aren't going to buy their game because of a perceived slight against gay people...

Ah, you seemed pretty excited about Gil so I thought maybe... but yeah. I wish Gil was an alien, but he is not. Sucks to be me. Hopefully he is the sex god I want him to be.

Oh boy, I bet BioWare is quaking in their little booties now! One person is saying they aren't going to buy their game because of a perceived slight against gay people... DAI was a completely different case because Sera and Dorian had been confirmed to be gay and lesbian far before release, and there weren't half a dozen leaks and comments indicating that there were no gay/bi male romances among the companions. I argued a lot before the release of DAI that people were overreacting and that Dorian and Sera pretty much meant there was nothing to complain and worry about. But despite generally standing up for Bioware when it comes to this stuff, even I'm appalled at what seems to be happening over in Andromeda. As far as I'm concerned having no gay/bi male squadmates and at least two for every other demographic is something that couldn't possibly be seen as fair or balanced.

On the plus side, at least bi/gay men know that there is a guy for them on the Tempest. Not much of a comfort when it isn't someone I was interested in.

It is weird that we don't know like, anything about this elusive Gil. Really just stinks of completely irrelevant character whose sole purpose is to be a gay romance (if even that). There was a time we thought that about Lexi and look at her now. After the reveal, we know she is an important crew-member and she is voiced by Dormer
