The Character Romance thread (Official)

Yeah.  Clear enough for you to find it and talk about it.  I'm not sure what your deal is.  If you are annoyed about people giving leaks, then avoid spoiler threads.  Don't come into those threads and complain.  If you don't care about leaks and are just annoyed at people passing on rumor as fact, then why are you coming at me?  I gave a legit leak.  It's not the first time I've done it.  They've always panned out as accurate, so I have no reason to believe this one won't be.  I've shared it according to all forum rules and I clearly stated that how I came about the information.  And when I've speculated based on that, I've specifically stated that it's speculation.  Hell, I've been a fucking boy scout with this stuff.  You are just salty because your little prank backfired.  Don't take out your frustrations on me.

I think it's pretty likely. Writer taken two LIs is quite common with BW I think.

Aaaahhh please be correct.

I don't think we will see any kind of genitalia in ME:A. Human or not. That just sounds like something that would get game banned in some places and I don't think BW wants to go with that far. That said, I'm perfectly fine seeing some bottoms in the game as well nakedness. If DAI can show Dorian's nude behind I'm sure ME:A can do same.

I want Jaal was gay or bi. But not straight. Seriously.
The whole mass effect I played a female Shepard. Why? Because the aliens male was only for female. It's not fair. In the game, in which you can be with aliens, being a gay man, you can only be with human men. This is stupid.
Let's see.
Mass Effect 1
straight Women - Kaidan
Women lesbian - Liara
straight Man - Liara and Ashley
...

Mass Effect 2
straight Man - Jack, Tali, Miranda
straight Women - Garrus, Thane, Taylor (?)
Girls lesbians - Kelly, Laira


Man have Tali and Liara, Girls Garrus and Thane, lesbians, again, Liara. Yes, someone does not need them, but you have a choice, you can be with a human or with an alien.
Like I have no choice. To be with a man alien we have to play a woman. No choice.

Mass Effect 3
Finally we have a male gay and Bi men there, but both human... again.... thx

Bi all is a bad idea.
It's hard for me to explain why I think like that. Because English is not my native language. (sorry)
I like DAI, I was happy to get Dorian and Bull.
Two absolutely different characters. Qunari and human mage. And I was happy that Dorian was gay, not BI. After so many years of Mass effect, it's something mean to me.
If we do not receive party members a gay again or even NPCs gay alien (it would be nice of Turians), I drop mass effect. Because I'm tired of playing a female character for love and male char for forever_alone.

Sorry for my bad English. I have been silently reading this thread, and very much wanted write this.

Bull did, but they surrounded it in a black box

Your expectations do sound very realistic and in par with other BW games: 6 crew members - 2 straight, 2 bi, 2 homo. Cora and Liam should be obvious (2 straight), Asary is bi by definition, Jaal is everyone's favorite and it's Iron Bull all over again - hence, bi. We need 2 gays now. But since 1 is off limit (anyone seriously expects romancing a Krogan?) and we do know for sure (or almost for sure from a leak) that m\m gay is on Tempest but not among our 6 companions, so it looks like turian is an f\f option.

Plus flings ("more than we have ever seen") - and here we are.

Have other ratings changed as well or only the "sexual content/nudity rating"?

I'm right there with you    Give us dick Bioware!!!! 


Realistically though, can you imagine the ammount of hysteria and monstrous outrage that would cause? You think the Big Meltdown of 2008 was bad? With people coming on tv and literally vomiting words about the "super hardcore sex going on in Mass Effect" with no intelligent thought or information behind them?   Well that would be nothing compared to this... Pitchforks and torches would be used to SAVE THE CHILDREN!!! "Mr President, Russia has launched 2 nukes aimed at..." "SHUT UP! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERE!!! THERE IS A VISIBLE PENIS IN THAT GAME!!! Get your priorities str8! Sheesh!" 

It's funny... because it's real...   ...   ...   ...  

Ah damn, it's just a joke.   That's what I get for responding while backreading.

The thing is leaks are happening allover the place. I was told a leak (not like any of the ones on tumblr) by a friend who knew someone at Bioware. Part of me still doubts it though. And I'm definitely not posting it here on a public forum, for privacy's sake, especially since even if it was true at that time things change in game production.

We'll see when people datamine the game. Taylorson said in an interview that there are scenes where characters reject you because you're not the right gender, so, when people datamine for no-homo or no-hetero scenes, then we'll find out who's probably which sexuality.
