Disclaimer: I haven't caught up yet, but I'd just like to say: This thread, I like it! (Another!) Though there is a lot of apprehension (I always hope everyone gets something they like), there have been so many great posts to read! So much thoughtful discussion, or even jokes or snark. I love it And it's also really cool to see so many LGBT people in one place, just being themselves and getting to talk about it. It reminds me of a thread about diversifying our choices on the old BSN - some of the same "faces" are here, too. Because I live in a small town and because I'm a borderline recluse, I actually know almost no LGBT people in person, so it's also useful and interesting to hear your points of view. So, yeah. You guys are cool I just wish the thread moved a bit slower, so I could actually keep up with it Wuv u too BansheeOwnage, full homo.

Yes, there is anger and snark and salt a' plenty at times, but there are valid points that have been brought up, and if the worst case scenario happens, I really hope they take the criticism and actually try to improve next time. Not just with squadmate representation, but with the marketing of LGBT characters, as opposed to keeping them under wraps. Completely hidden.

Yup, and, according to an interview with Taylorson, there are scenes where you can be rejected for your gender. I swear, if there's more effort put into "no homo" scenes than actual "homo" scenes. Keep flirting till you reach that point, it's fun! -big ugly gay tears for Cassandra rejecting me even if I knew she wouldn't be a romance option-

A thought I shared in the PeeBee thread, regarding the Jaal thing; You know... I'm glad to hear that. I'll take interest, of any kind, for a male, Angara or no, as proof PeeBee is Bi.

Uh. Okay. Let me try to parse this. A fan created this. But a dev retweeted it, right? So, is it just me or does this seem really mean if Jaal turns out to be straight? Even if the dev found it funny... is it funny to get people's hopes up? Or is this a wink wink nod at fans saying he's bi? I'm so tired and confused

It can be either one really. They are very careful to not let any info on sexualities out so I don't think you can take anything from that.

It can be either one really. They are very careful to not let any info on sexualities out so I don't think you can take anything from that. Yeah I think you're probably right. I was asking myself, would she have retweeted that if it were Sara instead of Scott? And I think the obvious answer is, yes lol But would she have the foresight to think, oh this is Scott not Sara, that might give some people hope. If yes, then I don't think she'd have retweeted it b/c she seems like a nice person and very gay-friendly (don't know about her own identity of course, her business). But if she's totally unaware of the sexuality-driven angst among fans right now, it might not occur to her that it's a bad thing. AGHGGHGHGGHGHGH

We know they haven't got license to confirm romances so of course they responded with no comment. Can't see how you can read into that more than that. i think it's far more likely the original tag was as much of a hint as they are allowed to give that he'll be bi but then that's because that's always been my expectation.

The person who tweeted that old pic of Jaal and Scott was from Bethesda. It's funny because in Skyrim sex was not an issue.

If Jaal isn't bi at this point-there will be a pretty big negative reaction. They have allowed the speculation to grow for far too long. That's all I'm saying.

At the assumption of being perceived as completely ignorant, I still must ask what is a pre-load? Like a prerequisite for downloading a game or does it contain actual game data?

Yes, your system (console or PC) downloads most of the data, but you are prevented from playing it. This is so when the game is released at midnight you don't have to sit for hours to download it first; you can just start playing.
