Yea, I argued that point numerous times before, and certain minorities are generally not open to reality on this point, so I stopped doing so. Then why go into a thread with mostly minorities to spout this same opinion you've admitted only makes people mad? Anyways, I want ME:A to be as gay as humanly possible. And if not ME:A, then all future Bioware games should be. Oh sorry, must have missed the "queer save space" sign on my way in then... Lighten up!

I remember in the lead up to DA2 we were scrambling for information, and a forum friend drove in the middle of the night to get a copy of a German magazine that had just released, drove home, and came straight online to tell us that the relationships were "aufgestockt" (see my sig), which in the context of the article meant opened up to everyone.
The party atmosphere was incredible.
I can't remember how far in advance of release it was, but it certainly wasn't a day or two before release, more like a few weeks out once hands on previews had begun.
I really miss those days.

The player character will be default gay, the pilot will be gay, all the enemies will be gay, the nomad will be gay, the ship will be gay, your guns will be gay, the planets will be gay. Gay as far as the eye can see.

Okay, I know some of you guys are getting frustrated here. Both with the ME marketing team and with each other, but no need to get rude with each other. Take a breath and ease down. Note: Not directed at dave's interest in redheads. You mean Lorn right?I am just being whacky over here. How so? I have done nothing wrong. Pretty much, thanks for clarifying... not judging, mind you, I just think people should chill more and learn to value what they get, is all. Not when it's human only options, sorry. You can say that's spoiled, but We had the same thing before with Cortez and Kaiden and it wasn't that great. People weren't satistfied (you get mixed opinions at best) with that and it was or should have been obvious as to why. I'm chill for now because we don't know yet, but even still this is kind of a hype killer. Well it is spoiled. If all of the romances are shit, then there really isn't anything to complain about since they're all equal in that regard. Since you are arguing for equality, if they're equally shitty there really isn't a problem. However, if you're arguing for supremacy then things get more complicated... March 21st, same as North American release date for the game. Dammit. There goes my hopes and dreams... and possibly my Tuesday. And nothing important was lost...

Dammit. There goes my hopes and dreams... and possibly my Tuesday. There is always the early access, as well as any resulting data mining. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one person who works at one store that gets the guides in early will crack one open and leak certain things.

Not to chime in late, I personally welcome as many LGBTQ characters as can be had. Just, uh... don't change characters who have been straight for 50 years. Specific example in mind, there, however.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one person who works at one store that gets the guides in early will crack one open and leak certain things. Not only that, but there's that one Russian site that datamined the last 2 Bioware games before launch. I'm pretty sure they'll get their hands on something and spread it around.

I was referring to just guide leaks, but yeah dataminers are an even more reliable bet. At the least that will reveal who is available to Scott or Sarah. I don't think that will help people like me though whereas the guide leaks might.

But the person who provided the leak said that was the reasoning they were given, and if they are right about the leak then that gives their statements a lot of weight. I find it just as difficult to believe that gay scott getting no squadmate romance when even a gay Sara gets two is an "oversight".

Hm, would be really surprised if that leak was true... it doesn't fit BW's usual structure at all, especially these days, with all those progressive writers they have on staff.
