The Character Romance thread (Official)

I know I am fine to romance Jaal, but my friends here aren't sure they can, so it's very stressing, but you're right, and I love trying to solve puzzles and mysteries.

Honestly, for me it's not even just about Jaal. It's about how shockingly they shorted m/m players if he's not an option. If Liam was an option it would be different, but to say I'll be disappointed in them if they backslid on us since ME3 is an understatement.

Yep, I keep thinking the same thing, especially when I start feeling really pessimistic about Jaal being bi. And then I remember Aaryn saying "we're very happy with the specifics" (referring to romance options) and I get really angry 

I'm trying not to get salty about it, because there's still a lot of evidence that he's bi and I don't want to be dramatic for no reason. It is pretty shitty that the marketing is leaving gay men, and just us- let's be honest, to drift in the wind about whether or not we're getting anywhere near a comparable amount of content to everyone else.  

In game you get psychological profile for Ryder, I know I had a Ryder full of "empathy " ...I have no idea if it changes anything in game though.
Perhaps it's like DA2 and you get the odd option here and there depending on your personality profile ?

This is definitely an interesting point and could possibly add another entire point to my list of possible confusing reasons for this. lol

Perhaps this is what they mean by JAal is hard to romance ?
If say you're logical and professional Ryder , understanding takes longer to build with Angara being a bit on the emotional side?

Suvi flirt vid below the cut. Wanted to mention something I've liked about ME:A character interactions so far.

It is not the job of paying customers to "be happy with what they're given."

If they aren't happy, they may take their dollars elsewhere.

If they take their dollars elsewhere, that diminishes Bioware's profits, which in turn diminishes their game-making ability.

It's the job of those providing the content to make players happy to the best of their ability, and if there are easy and relatively inexpensive ways for them to make more of us happy, then it's in their best interest and everyone's interest to provide those things.

That's the way it works. And even beyond simple human compassion for players not of my gender or orientation or race or what-have-you, I like having more options for myself and more money for Bioware.

Enlightened self-interest. Mr. "Cancerous" should look it the fuck up.

"it's a platonic I love you, no homo man" would probably be their response. (or they would admit to making Jaal bi and then straight, which... lmao)

I was actually trying to convince myself that line could just be platonic, but I literally couldn't. I kept listening to it and like... there's no way. That's full homo, man

That's pretty adorkable, actually.  Not normally my speed, but it works for them.  And LOL at Kallo!
