The Character Romance thread (Official)

I'm really glad they made this change, as not having a m/m option on the squad, having less choices/content, and having no alien for m/m were glaringly bad decisions on BioWare's part.

I'm still going to wait and see what the Scott version of the romance is like. I'm nervous. Until I see it, I'm tempering myself.

I'd also like a little more insight into why BioWare put us/themselves in this position in the first place, before I start the healing process. Because not having Jaal as an option was just one of several problems with LGBTQ content in this game and I do hope we get some closure on the Jill and terrible Reyes dance animations issues.

But we should pop a little champagne, and celebrate, because this is definitely at least something!!

MEA was a good game, Bront.

I'm really so happy for you guys ;;
I can finally enjoy the game again. I refused to play till they remedied this because I wanted to be in it with my gay bros

I remember, way back when news about Jaal's sexuality first hit the forum, that I wrote a post asking people to not despair and have faith in Bioware. Very happy that they proved me right! Congratulations to all you gay Scotts who will be able to tap that alien!

OH MY GOD

anyway, there'll be inevitable slippery slope arguments, but i think we all need to remember that this situation is unique.

1) the datamined evidence that jaal was going to be bi.
2) the way that scott couldn't even be rejected by jaal, which suggests that there WAS no rejection scene written/animated, which led us to believe that jaal was always going to be bi.
3) the fact that there was no m/m romance on the squad and so the romances were pretty unfair.
4) m/m players not being able to get the romance achievement without playing outside of their preferences.

so it is not the same as some ppl wanting, for example, suvi to be bi.

/back to celebrating

Also this is not the last patch. More to come it seems.

Male Romance Options
Male Ryders can now romance Jaal

Soooo... they did it. Now make Liam and Cora for both too.

Congratulations, guys. *Grabs shovel.* Now let's clean up all of this salt!!
