The Character Romance thread (Official)

You guys do realize that the voice actors are under an NDA, right?

Jesus Christ, whole game is soon on YouTube (half of it is already there) because some people are already plying it. Embargo is ending. Why the hell they just can't spill the beans, and I mean EA/marketing with this? It is totally ludicrous to say "you have to play and see" when we can actually find out about it the second someone has uploaded enough of the game to YouTube, or written a blog post about it. This marketing is just as much in denial as the devs, it seems. All this is getting such epic levels of ridiculousness.

Well, coders thought Avela was for both Ryders, so it actually doesn't really change anything.

Yeah leave Tom alone lol. The only thing he is guilty of is calling Jaal a ladykiller and that was an honest mistake... hopefully.

That's the thing. People want hints then read into them wrong, attack him, he tries to fix his mistake, that's read into wrong, and it never ends.

"It's a waiting game" is so goddamn frustrating. Why is it a waiting game for Jaal alone among the squadmates? WHHHYYYYYYY. The game is being played by people at this moment. It's not out to most people, but it's out. WHY does this one detail have to be a damn secret?

Jaal is not even listed as a squadmate on the official site lol

I've always tried taking this mess with humour, but damn this is taking the best of me.

I think if he said 'there is more than one m/m option on tempest' or something it would be pretty obvious who he is talking about. He seems pretty tied right now. It's still frustrating though.

As for the asari gender thing, I don't think Bioware understands what their own lore is. They said one thing in Mass Effect 1, said another thing later, it's no wonder people keep saying different things. I think bottom line is, people need to stop using the asari as a "well technically" answer for LGB romances.

I'm pretty sure she acted that way because the player picked the emotional option. I could be wrong though. It looks like the flirt has two branching paths here.

Hopefully, unless they're counting the Reyes fling, and then we're screwed. lol

I've been thinking about this.  It doesn't make sense. 

There are 9 romances.  One, maybe two, are asari.  And there is one straight/gay character for Scott and Sara.  So they even out.  The rest are bisexual.

So even if asari didn't, the numbers would be even:

Scott:  Cora, Vetra, Jaal?, Gil, Avela, "nex_doc" (6)
Sara: Liam, Jaal, Vetra, Suvi, Avela, "nex_doc" (6)

So basically, his whole, "I don't think that asari count" thing is bogus because it wouldn't matter unless one of them got an extra "straight" or "gay" exclusive character. 



It's eyeroll inducing for sure.

And this is the crux of the issue.  There's no consistency and it's hypocriitcal since it's always towards the m/m content.
