That said: "limitations" make for less "video gamey" relationships


Yeah, that pretty much settles it. M/m is gonna get screwed.

Only Cora's...

You may be right but given the little information we do have and the ME team's history, I think being a little concerned is fair. 

Suuuuuuuuuuuure this is totalllllly not a confirmation and we will toooooooootally scenes like these with 2 males in the trailers

Being concerned is fair. But this has the makings of a bit of hysteria. My point still stands though. We have very, very little information to off of.

They may compensate for it by allowing the male to nail everything that moves and not in the office like a male smuggler and imperial agent do in SWTOR.

Somebody ask him to describe Gil. Request he file a false police report so he can get an artist to produce a sketch of him. I don't live in Europe and I don't know for sure that this is illegal. 

Like I said I think it sounds very concerning, but it's possible he was just speaking generally. I'm not sure he even understood the first tweet correctly.

A good, finally caught up with the last few pages. Now I can safely say I'm more depressed then before

Still, I'll wait for the March 16th (or whatever the date is) when we will get confirmations from data mining and etc. If the "mass effect team is shit" scenario turns out to be true, and gay male options will be OBVIOUSLY and PURPOSEFULLY CENSORED/DENIED/ERASED AGAIN, for the 4TH effing time, then I will kindly cancel my preorder and you know, give "best" wishes to said team.

I'm forced (lol I know) to still support Bioware, since they are still the most inclusive company out there, but this would be just too shitty a move to forgive. So fk it.

I want to say I'm still hoping I'm wrong and they didn't do this, but I'm not feeling it

Here we are agreeing. Strange 

Anywho, a couple of days ago I stumbled on a video on youtube (a gaming channel) where a couple of people were talking, very seriously  , about the "very important and worrying trend" in Bioware games of "having an agenda". Said agenda was, shocker of shockers, the adding of gay characters because of sjw-ish reasons and not because "it made sense". I rolled my eyes so hard that they popped out of my skull. I still haven't found them. I'm blind now   Or I could say the stupidity was so BRIGHT it burned my eyes out of my skull... meh... something like that.

Point is, with morons like that all over the place, and obviously very LOUD morons, game devs, and more specifically the companies management decision-makers will very clearly stay away from gay content as much as possible (actually they will avoid male/male content like the plague - occasionally they do a half-assed attempt at lesbian content, but mostly failing since it's aimed at str8 male players as well). Of course they will do shit like Bethesda, screaming about how inclussive they are with gay marriage, but then "mysteriously" having 0 gay characters in-game, out of hundreds of npcs. Or like the Mass Effect team and the "we always thought of *MALE* shepard as str8" nug of stupidity . I'm saying Mass Effect team and not Bioware as a company, since the Dragon Age series was aweome in my opinion (with flaws and room for improvement, but awesome nonetheless) and it certainly was and is one of, if not THE most inclussive in gaming history.

Meh.
