They have their own arks. Every decade or so, all the lesbians of a certain age band together and set out for another distant galaxy. So, um. Where can we find these lesbians? Hyopthetically, I mean. This is for science. Those gals better call Kenny Loggins, gomez will find them...

Yeah. I mean I know we don't have comparisons, but the fact that Mac Walters stated his favorite romance in the game is one of the off-ship ones makes me think they could still have quite a bit of content. That reminds me... How many off-ship romances do we have? If the m/m planet hub romance is enough to count as a "main" romance (according to my friend), then are the others just one night stands? Are they just flirtations where you get a kiss at the end and never see them again? I'm curious as to how these planet hub romances are gonna work. Hopefully you can come and talk to him anytime you like, and occasionally there might be new content. Sort of like if we could romance Aria. She wouldn't leave Omega, but she's a major character, etc.

Yeah, let's hope he's like a heroic m/m version of Aria in this instance, with even more content. If he helps us with the plotline on Kadara, he has to at least be significant in that self-contained story, right?

I do not have high hopes for these off-world/planet hub relationships. It feels like that is where most of the 'flings' will come in. I'm not really interested in flings or one night stands... I didn't think they were really all that popular in the first place. That said, I am still curious to see how they will work.

I hope that Bioware has develop crewmances so that they full romances as well. I wouldn't mind crewromance at all in that case. I know we will have flings and smaller romances, but those should be extra not someone's main option(s). Bioware said the crewmembers are as fleshed out as the squadmates. I'm bit skeptical, but I hope that's true I hope that Bioware has develop crewmances so that they full romances as well. I wouldn't mind crewromance at all in that case. I know we will have flings and smaller romances, but those should be extra not someone's main option(s). My issue is, if crew are really being the treated the exact same as squadmate romances, then why is it so hard to give us more gay/bi squadmates? Why is it that the straight love interests are squadmates, while the rest are often NPCs? Like if they were really the same, there wouldn't be a discrepancy. This isn't Dragon Age, unfortunately. At this point I'd settle for that myself. Not saying that people should though. I guess Bioware is not making lot of sense with this. No m/m romance in squad doesn't make sense in the first place.

Bioware said the crewmembers are as fleshed out as the squadmates. They also said that there are more romances than in any bioware game, but guess how much of them will be one-time fling and how much of them will be not-so meaningful. They also said that nobody will be left disappointed with romance options, but if "no gay/bi male squadmate turns out right", guess what. Believing devs about that sort of thing is around same level of being confident in the fact that ice in the middle of a march is not thin. You always want to appeal to your customers, even if the thing you are trying to sell is a complete and utter garbage. Don't know about other countries, but in Russia we have guys who are consistently trying to sell overpriced cleaners, not-certified meds and shady water filters while talking really sweet things about that stuff. And it sells. And this is a relatively small business. Meanwhile, Bioware can tell anything about squadmates and if Gil will be the only one tempest-based m/m romance and will have zero actual content, some guys will riot, but it won't affect them that much - most of their playerbase will be happy and telling people about muh diversity and much fun, cause straight guys will have tons of girls to bang and girls will get hot brand-new alien, tons of f/f options and, if anything, Liam too. At this point I'm starting to think about no-romance play-through being forever alone, because that aspect of their game will freaking hurt. Exploration looks incredible, plot looks incredible, my romance options look so bad I want to cry. Agreed. At this point, I'd rather be forever alone in the Andromeda galaxy than deal with the CRUMBS Bioware is giving us, if leaks are true. Crumbs. I can't even comprehend why they'd go so backwards.

My internal grumpy little hope kernel is pinned to Kallo's forehead.
But I'm also thinking that it wouldn't be a romance that would make everyone happy. Even if it exists.
And honestly, no one should listen to me for romances, because 95% of my squees are reserved for my space friends hooking up. I only do romances about half the time when I play, but for some reason, I care about knowing what's available. It's very helpful in planning a playthrough. And warm fuzzies, man. I'm addicted to the warm fuzzies.

I still don't count Liam out. Spoiler regarding the 13 minute video Maybe you meet him afterward. I mean your father is assembling the team into two shuttles at the end of the video. We know that once you get down into a planet, you are stranded with Liam. So I think in the conversation where [redacted] says "hi", he's probably Liam.

It depends how long it takes to get to "open Tempest" section and whether Ben played that part already or he was still talking the opening on Hyperion and the first planet they investigate and the jouralists were playing.
I would guess Tempest comes after that but it could be even later. ME2 had 2 opening locations before we got to Normandy, ME3 didn't let us explore the Normandy till after both Earth, Mars and small Citadel section.
Or he was talking some Jesse McAndrospacey that we meet at the end of first mission and he never meant to refer to either Gil or Liam lol...
I can only assume he wasn't talking Jaal as I doubt he appears in any early part of the game

Is it just me or has the same discussion been going on for 100+ pages now? Bioware tries to make realistic people, and sometimes that means that a character you like won't return your affection - which sucks, I understand. I am not saying that their shouldn't be as many gay romances as straight ones or that what you want is wrong (personally I completely understand), but I feel bad for Bioware because this is something they can't win. The only way to make everyone happy is to make every romance player-sexual - like in DA II. Personally I am completely fine with this, but I also saw the uproar it caused when all in DA II were romancable by both genders. No matter what they do, someone will be dissapointed, outraged or feel stepped on. The only way to avoid this is by having a "will you allow same-sex relationships?" button, and I don't see anyone responding well to that idea. To me, the issue isn't that some people won't return my gay Scott's affection. It's that consistently, gay male PC's have gotten less options and/or less prominent options. I'm fine with them making characters with pre-determined sexualities. In fact, I prefer it. My issue is when they seem to follow the same old patterns and the same group(s) seem to be on the receiving end of the less desirable options. Female character with the strongest plot connection? Always available to straight guys (Bastila, Dawn Star, Morrigan, Miranda, Cassandra, Cora, every plot relevant female companion in SWTOR), sometimes bisexual (Liara, Isabela) Male character with the strongest plot connection? Always straight ( maybe you could argue that Anders played this role in DA2) Starting female squadmate/companion (i.e. in the group the longest and always mandatory recruitment)? Almost always available to only straight guys (Dawn Star, Ashley, Morrigan, Miranda, Cassandra) - Aveline is the notable exception, because she's not an LI Starting male squadmate/companion? Almost always available to only straight gals (Carth, Kaidan in ME, Alistair, Jacob, Solas, Liam [likely]) It's just an unfortunate trend and there's no reason why people can't call it out. Why can't Liam be gay? Why can't Cora be a lesbian? They could but it's never happened and that's the issue. Not that characters have set sexualities. img.pandawhale.com/95471-renly-clapping-gif-Imgur-Yy5I.gif
