You can thank the unethical games media for that, who made it their mission to virtue signal as spokes people for "marginalized" minorities is the industry. GG never really was about women (or LGBTQ folks, for that matter) in games, it was about those "journalists" and critics making money off of them, while really colluding and promoting each other for personal gain... Oh god, here comes the "ethics in gaming journalism" excuse. Dude, most people wisened up to its true purpose after years of this. Yea, that's exactly the reason why you - an all those other "woke people" - are touting the same BS now... right. I was there for the whole thing - life streams, kotaku in action, the whole shebang... believe me, the narrative that is supposedly "common knowledge" now is only what the main stream media made it after the fact. ...but that's off topic, I guess: Sufficed to say - GG might have been a catalyst, but it's not to blame for the current state of the industry.

gaycaravaggio I think there was a lot of confusion on Twitter, in regards to people asking about m/m representation in the game. The developers believed a lot of people were asking about a strictly gay male love interest being on the squad, which is clearly not the case. However, there has been really nothing to suggest there won't be a male squadmate who is bi, and romanceable by Sara and Scott, we just don't know who, and won't until launch most likely. Everyone keep expectations at a healthy level, but don't lose hope either. I reckon we will all be surprised and satisfied. And for the sake of all our sanity's, wait until Prima Guide info comes out, or by datamining and playing the game, before believing anything about the romances. At the end of the day, other than Scott and Cora, we will nothing 100% until we sit down and play the games for ourselves. I'm fully aware my friend's source could be wrong, but considering what they've proven to be right on so far.... I trust their info.

I dont think many ever believed that, it looked very much "we have added 15 Shialas/Samaras to the number and now we claim most romances ever". TOR will likely always remain the Bioware game with highest number of full romances (freaking 20+ lol) because it had budget and developement scope of multiple single player games with different sets of companions for 8 classes (and then there are expansions with all new romances to add to that)

This will literally be the last time I post here, as constant speculating and worrying and fearing and hoping and over and over again with all those emotions was what caused me to initially delete my account here. Ok so, there has been quite a few leaks, from various sources, each all varying in credibility. I am not criticizing the sources, or their credibility. There are a lot of contradictions, confusion, and a lot of info that can't be confirmed or not, until we play the game. Until then, I think this speculating ends up going nowhere. We know that we aren't going to find out until we play the game. So I think overdiscussing these various leaks just causes a lot of stress and worry and confusion here on the forums.

I think the worst part is there's such little transparency about this. The optimistic fans have pretty much been led to believe there's far more than, say, 10 actual romances.

Look, this is the one place on the forums to discuss these leaks. I've acknowledged several times that they might not be quite right. I've acknowledged several times that maybe he could be wrong. And I've apologized for the stress these have caused. I understand if you guys no longer want me to share information, however.

Well, I think we'll find out before then either through dataminers or people who leak what the guides say.

To conclude from my other post (sorry, it sent before I finished)
I am recommending people not taking anything from "leaks" as 100% confirmed fact.
Again, I am not criticizing or disparaging posters here for leaks from their sources, just saying that there is a difference between an unconfirmed "leak" and what is in the game.

Maybe a situation like Anora, where it's not a romance romance but you can still marry her under the right circumstances. I'm not surprised at all. I'm not even disappointed. I just hope that everybody gets at least two fully fleshed-out romance options. And hopefully at least one alien.

I think a lot of us are trying to keep hope alive. Though my current approach is basically expect nothing-and anything has to be better then that.

In the beginning there was talk of Different Romance Options some big some small and many different types.. Then #PrettyGoodBanging and hinting/joking about things on twitter And now that people are a little concerned and asking if the leaks are as bad as people fear, It's a more tense "Just wait and see" Surprise! It could be disappointment.

Then why is Xbox saying "Pre-Order and Download Now" in their advertisement for the game? 'Cause it's the same copy+paste line Marketplace adds on every game? Hey I could be wrong but if there were already ACTUAL game files to download, this shit would've been already mined to the bones on russian Bioware forums

Maybe they just haven't finished yet.

I've expected the game to be terrible since the day they announced it, so really all they can do at this point is surprise me with an ok game, like what happened with DA:I.

This is what I predict. Lots of hook-ups touted as romances, like getting with Gheyna or Cammen in DAO. Maybe a situation like Anora, where it's not a romance romance but you can still marry her under the right circumstances. I'm not surprised at all. I'm not even disappointed. I just hope that everybody gets at least two fully fleshed-out romance options. And hopefully at least one alien. Well yes and you'd have to be selectively ignoring dev comments that suggest such whilst listening to ones talking up the no of options to be in any way disappointed or surprised.

Hell, update one of the m/m options to a squadmate. I can't see why they'd be barred from picking up a gun just because they're not combatant in this game. But some part of me knows that wouldn't happen.
