I do feel though that since Gil has had a relatively lukewarm reception even among gay men, that if he does return as a crewmate romance and they introduce a M/M squadmate he might get Cortez'ed.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you about BW's thought process, but aside from Jill the main complaint is that he was already Cortezed. Cortezing him again would be yet another half-assed attempt on BWs part to address complaints on M/M content. Not that it's so hard to see this happening, given BW's trackrecord thus far, but they would hardly be doing themselves any PR favours here.

Can someone explain the Cortez thing for me? MEA is my first ME game. :blush:

Cortez was the 2nd M/M LI in ME:3. Dead husband, still in mourning, not as much content as Kaidan. Hence, Cortez'ed.

I think not having a dictionary definition of Cortez'ed is a hazard here. I was referring more so to being a lot less popular than the other LI option.

because there's not enough white options already? + white default PC used for marketing as always? ok the tweet speaks for itself, and it disgusts me I cant help it

Why the hell are you so against having more options in the god damn shitfest that is the CC???? No, the paler skin tones are limiting. It's not racist or anti-black to want paler skin options.

I've already told you THAT TWEET disgusts me. I'm talking about that tweet not people here wanting a fan of new skin options. If my opinion about that tweet upsets you it's not my problem.

So basically the time that I wake up they'll release the patch notes.

Here's hoping I don't end up with a side order of salt with my morning coffee.

That's 10 Am Central Standard Time. So yeah...even if a bit late it should be out by the time I roll out of bed at least. I just hope it's worth while. I mean if it's cc improvements that's pretty cool with me. Though I clearly want that Gay gold more.

Also, randomly I'd like to point out that waiting till next month for the patch does not equal that we'll have more fixes. It seems to me that they are currently working on whatever they are working on-in other words if it comes out now they worked on it for about a month. If they release it next month-they worked on it about a month.

It's the same amount of actual work time, cause they aren't slaving away constantly on the gay content. They worked on whatever the fuck is in this patch, and they will now start working on whatever is in the next. etc etc etc.. so yeah... I just hope we find out what it is they have or will be working on soon. I hate being in the dark about gay romance content constantly since before launch.

If you've run out of sugar and your coffee's too bitter, salt actually makes it taste sweeter. Not even making this up.

I just think it's kind of funny how for years it was difficult to make, say, Asian characters in CC and now the tables have turned.

I'm all for more options in general, but I just find it funny, I guess. My personal wish for the CC is for a focus on adding more facial features, but I understand if that's expecting too much.

It's kinda good luck at making good-looking Ryder that isn't Asian with this CC

Thank god that's what I have been planning to do (still haven't bought the game yet).

I don't actually drink coffee a whole lot.

Though when I do I generally prefer it black.
