The Character Romance thread (Official)

Yeah lol I have a pink and black one just like it with the bra showing. My Sim wears it when she goes jogging.

Scott's tank top needs to be looser so he can show a bit of side boobage. I'm not totally confident in my body but I wear loose tank tops because it makes me feel sexy as hell. Scott should too :l

PLUS it's more comfortable, shit.

I had to restart the chapter where I get the Tempest.

What? Are they unlocked for other saves after that?

I was at Kadara when I got the patch and the outfit wasn't there at all, so I went back to Chapter 2, ran through meeting everyone, opened my usual package I get after Vetra shows me around and there it was.

Yeah, it's definitely not the outfit that springs to mind when considering impressing a romantic interest. 

Are they really that out of touch with reality or do they just not understand how the words they say are supposed to convey an idea to other people that makes sense on the basis of the words used?   I feel like they need to be pulled to one side and told 'Look - a dictionary. It's full of things we call words and those words have specific meanings...'

I'm finding the whole thing funnier by the day.  Or more confusing by the day.  Probably both.

To think I was going to wear the new outfit when I went to the party with Reyes, or Aya with Jaal!

toomanyclouds yeah I own that EP and that's my fav athletic outfit!

what are the headphones even for........ where do they Go

This song came to mind. We're definitely not over the rainbow.

Because WE play it.. we are here, we use those concepts.. It wouldn't harm- more the opposite, to introduce new concepts that would encompass queer identities..
But its still we that are laying.. We as humans with our concepts sitting in front of the screen and being able to say maybe for the first time..
"Hey.. thats character is like me. I could be a hero.. Me being [thing] doesnt make me less valuable or disgusting(as other people might say or imply)
I matter. We matter. We are despite being a minority seen as important enough to not be a joke or a caricature or worse..but we can be heroes.."


I can see why that matters..
Especially in a society that has all pervading ideas about how we are and a lot of them are more negative.. We get talked about in terms of sin, lacking, defect, disorder..
(all ofc often very polite, by people who may be like your neighbors or teacher..) 

So having something be different-something not only by LGBT people for us- no niche material, but something big, something visible, something not easily to be tainted with "but the [religion/"science"...]says you are bad, so people like you shouldnt be represented.(of they say it more polite)


its.. almost like a funeral (it makes sense, I promise..).. A funeral  usually doesn't matter for the dead, but its for the living..


Using labels may not matter to the characters or the universe.. but it matters to those players who identify with them

Hold up, you're saying that for characters that finished the game you're not getting anything? Or if you're like halfway through the game and it would be completely stupid to restart all the way before you get the Tempest?
Christ, what a train wreck. All of this sounds like a bad April Fools prank.
Is it the same for the NOMAD skins? I don't care about these outfits but maybe I'll care about others. How hard is it to make sure you get them at any time in the game?
