Yeah i can see why it might be maddening but a lot of the teasing isn't orientation specific. Jaal could yet be Bi etc. Can't be easy to be under orders to not reveal specifics yet still feel like you are engaging. Alistair straight.They're teasing only girls.
U rly think Jaal Bi? plz... They specifically said they aren't confirming anything and much of the teasing is not nearly so gender specific. The entire point is not to complain about the rumor but the frustration that they are doing so much teasing while at the same time saying they want things to be a surprise. Alistair being straight only emphasizes the point. Nothing other than shallow stereotyping suggests the orientation of the characters specifically because they said they want things to be a surprise. They still lead people on with the teasing at the same time saying they can't confirm.

But Garrus IS the canon ME romance. (Not a flamebait, just fun. Also the truth. ) Hey, he was certainly my canon romance. Alistair being heterosexual and having an enormous fangirl following makes it frustrating. If they'd responded to a comment and likened him to Bull or something, I'd be more reassured. I'm a Talimancer, but the acting in the Garrus romance is far superior. I don't know, I think the Alistair comparison only applies personality-wise. That's how I read it. He gave off some prince-y/"our greatest warrior will accompany you on your quest" vibes. And the other 'confirmation' from today (previous or before page), the how-to-make it work flirting, can also be applied to an Alistair kind of guy. Don't lose hope, Scott-Jaal is still in the race.

U rly think Jaal Bi? plz... The first real "teasing" regarding Jaal, was the "mhm" and "monocle sex" comment from one of the developers, in reply to a guy on Twitter. Also, a while back, there was confirmation that men can kiss aliens, take from that what you will. And @beautesombre will remember as well, as we discussed this in the Jaal thread, but a while back there were a lot of comments about Jaal's romance, I think after they released the wallpaper of him with the sniper rifle, and these comments were coming from both gals and guys, and the developers went around liking a lot of them, from both genders. Yes, that may be reading too much into things. But at this point, everyone is reading too much into every character and utterance the developers are making on Twitter as some inclination or subtle hint as to the LI status of a character. We literally, 100% confirmed know of Scott and Cora, ONLY. As I mentioned above, there was some Jaal teasing, directed at both genders, not just women. The developers have been responsive to a lot of questions about Jaal, again, from both genders. I still believe there will be an option on the squad gay/bi men. It just won't be a strictly gay male squadmate, which was what the developers initially thought people were asking about, which lead to some confusion. They have not confirmed nor denied a bi male squadmate, which is still a possibility. And as for the whole sex scene teasing, that isn't anything more than teasing the fact that there will be some sex scenes? Why the upset? It had nothing to do with the romance options, just the existence of some hot humminas humminas. I have confidence and strong belief that BioWare, and the MEA team, care for their LGBTQ fans.

It's easier to give up on the race now instead of running to the finish line with all you got but then stumbling and breaking your leg just before reaching the goal. That leaves the small possibility of being surprised by Jaal taking you on his shoulders and running at the speed of light to the finish line and then you two living happily ever after!!! (of course never believing this would happen at any point of the race)

Guy on Twitter asked to bang Jaal and that's when the banging jokes about him started.

They still lead people on with the teasing at the same time saying they can't confirm. That's not the point dear. They are breaking their own rule. But it's more than that. When it comes to gay fans asking about romance, they stick to the rule. They tell them that they can't talk about it/wait and see/ wont' it be fun?/Spend more money by buying the Prima guide etc. But then they break their rule, and when they do, it is either to tease in general, or to specifically tease hetero romance as with the Alistair Jaal thing. The extra kicker is that this doesn't appear to be a direct romance question. Aaron just swooped in with the romance teasing unbidden.

It was so random because no one asked.

Guys, they never actually confirmed that a guy can romance male alien. They confirmed: that you can kiss a guy as a guy, kiss a girl as a girl, kiss aliens. Yes, they were all in the same convo, which led to this assumption. However, they never actually confirmed m/m alien romance.

I also just remembered one funny thing. Leaked DAI scenes with Leliana killing Cullen and being old and scary. And everybody thought that was legit stuff happening in-game, used to build theories back then. So, there's a hope... Yes? Yes?..

I think a lot of the teasing has mainly stemmed from characters that have become more popular, or more discussed on Twitter, like Jaal and Vetra for example.
There has been little to no teasing about other possible LIs, that doesn't mean they aren't LIs though, nor does it indicate who they are available for.
A tease is a tease. A leak is a leak. A scene in a trailer with two characters kissing... is a scene in a trailer with two characters kissing.
Who knows, maybe all Scott and Cora amounts to is a fling.
We won't know a pyjak from a quarian's foot until we get a guidebook that lists the romance paths, or get some confirmed datamined information, or until we play the game and discover for ourselves.
The latter has been hammered home enough that it should be the reality now, we are 3 weeks away now.

Yes?..Killing Cullen - champions of the just, old and scary - in hushed whispers. They are in the game. Out of context scenes, but they are in the full game.

It's definitely true that the only romance option confirmed for a specific PC is Cora/Scott. But the have officially confirmed both Pee Bee and Jaal as romance options as well. Not for who, of course, but as options. So we do know that there is a male and female alien in the LI pool.

Hey, he was certainly my canon romance. Alistair being heterosexual and having an enormous fangirl following makes it frustrating. If they'd responded to a comment and likened him to Bull or something, I'd be more reassured. I mean, at this point, knowing Jaal is like Alistair is a nail in the coffin. They ALWAYS make those kind-hearted swoon-worthy guys straight. ALWAYS. What if they likened him to Cullen? watch the fangirls panties catch fire. And I'm just over here wondering, what are my options? Bioware pls

Like I said, nothing is known until we play the game and discover the romance, or possible lack thereof, for ourselves

I think the problem is who they are choosing to tease, who they are pandering to, and who they are directing the most info at, and that's why this is unfair.

But then I thought, "No, I shouldn't."
So I will not ask that question that I just typed.

lol A while back I made a mock script for a mock scene where Ryder is being interrogated for constantly trying to bang everything on the ship since they don't know who is for who, and they... even... tried... the pyjak But that won't happen in the game. It. Won't. Happen. Right?*innocence lost*

And also who they are shutting down, which only leads to resentment and frustration. Yeah and I admit, as a straight woman I know a lot about my chosen LI already, because a article was even written about them. I am hoping the Gil thing gets more detail soon! It's a shame the person who flirted with him didn't describe him in better detail.
