But what about Kaidan? I just... It had to be deliberate. But like, who the fuck cares? So what if it makes some dudebros uncomfortable? Are they so scared of backlash that they're willing to fuck gay players over? After everything? And don't they realize they're going to get pretty much the same amount of backlash from the LGBT community for this? I mean what the fuck I don't remember any backlash after bi-Kaidan happened or gay-Dorian... Dorian was actually loved to the point where even straight guys romanced him for all I know. Can confirm. Am straight. Dorian was the only gay romance I've played and he was my favorite in DAI. Anecdotal, sure, but I hardly think I'm the only straight player who did this.

No and like. I fucking knew it was too good to be true. I knew it. Yet I thought that this time, it would be different, somehow. Something would go right, for once. A bisexual male alien squadmate! The perfect opportunity for BW to redeem themselves. God. Fuck me for believing Jaal could ever be anything but straight. I always felt that Jaal would be bi. Now I can't even trust my own intuition anymore, ffs. I begin to doubt myself, and who knows where it will lead me? All this just because they made Jaal straight. I need a therapist after this. There were quite a few of us who were convinced Garrus would be a bi option in ME3, still bitter

Whoa, over 60 new pages, you guys have been busy . Any news on the gay male LI front? Last I checked, Reyes was either gay or bi, Gil was gay and Jaal was either straight or bi. (Judging by some of the posts on the last two pages, I'm assuming Jaal has been confirmed to be straight? Or are we still not sure :/ ?) Almost all the evidence thus far points to Jaal being straight. The devs are naturally being tight lipped about it. People are salty. Sadly, this seems like business as usual for this thread.

[ CLOUD WATCHES]Which do you guys think will happen first in ME: a male, openly gay LI squadmate, or an openly asexual LI of any kind? None. The franchise is probably done before any of these happen. Remember it "has to make sense" for characters.

Sadly Sims 4 isn't on sale on origins anymore. It's EA, but it has gay romances Maybe I'll grab that instead when the price drops again. 60 euros for older game just isn't right.

Wait. So straight guys, straight girls and gay girls all have at LEAST two squadmates with unique faces as romance options and gay men have zero? Wow. Bioware is fucking pathetic these days. I was already very on the fence over the game (or falling off the fence) after playing the trial and if my only real romance option is Gil the sex pest then I'll wait until Andromeda is in the bargain bin.
If this is true there is no excuse for it and it comes across REALLY badly.

I'm trying to catch up, let me get this straight (no pun intended, eugh)... Bioware: We can't make all our LIs playersexual or bisexual, that's not realistic! Also Bioware: No bi or gay male squadmates tho Also Bioware: Oh and make 1/2 of the available options poly/love trianglesREALISMI'm so sorry guys. ):Was gonna avoid commenting on the threads but this got my attention ? What's going on with that ? Also, I'm sorry my loves. I was 100 % in the camp of Jaal bi. :/ can't believe this

If Scott seriously had no love scene voice acting but Sara does how could they deny this is all about straight men? That is way too many factors all used stereotypically from nudity focused entirely for straight men or for laughs down to yet another ladykiller for which just has to be exclusively straight. Because it "makes sense" in some shallow way I guess??

if suvi has no sex scene, i'm honestly hoping she's an ace lesbian. explicitly so. i really hope it's not a case of "oh, you guys definitely had sex but we couldn't be bothered to animate a scene, enjoy your totally equal crewmate romance! " that probably won't be the case, but i can dream.

I've pretty much always defended BioWare, but this is insulting. This is a serious stepback from 2012. I cannot even believe this is a thing.

It's perfectly reasonable to expect gay men to also play a straight romance to get an in-game achievement. As long as it is also reasonable to expect straight men to play a gay romance to get an in-game achievement. Oh, hang on, that's not going to fly, is it? Not because it's not logical or is not a reasonable equivalence, but because of pending 'shoving down my throat / pandering' arguments on social media So scratch that, back to the original idea of politely asking EA Answers how this achievement is to be met. By playing Scott and Sara...

thinking back over the past week... i honestly don't want to believe tom was queerbaiting us with his tweets (though it wouldn't be the first time someone i thought was cool disappointed me horribly). it's quite possible that he recorded lines for jaal romance and thought they'd be included. i really want to believe that. if not, ugh. this is such a shit-storm, I'M STILL IN DISBELIEF. I honestly think players are within their rights to ask him. "Sorry, Tom, I don't want to put you in a corner, but your tweets seemed to indicate Jaal might be bi. Did you actually record lines for his romance?"

Pffft Sims franchise is such a money hog But damn kudos to them to not giving a fuuuuuck about the haters. My sims in m/m relationships are even wanting to "try for baby" with each other, and I'm like "WHAT?! STOP IT, NO!!! WE ARE NOT READY FOR THIS!!"

(Judging by some of the posts on the last two pages, I'm assuming Jaal has been confirmed to be straight? Or are we still not sure :/ ?) Jaal is hetero, Reyes is bi, Gil is still gay. It's not Bioware confirmed, but in the guide and reviewers backed it up. Thanks for the reply . I'm happy for the people who wanted to romance Reyes with their Sara but man, that whole Jaal situation is so shitty. Not to mention that us gay guys are now all alone as the group with the least number of romances (then again, straight women's three options against straight men's five still isn't great) *sigh*. I wasn't even really interested in Jaal but I still feel really disappointed in BW. No gay male squadmate LI, no gay male alien LI, no unique faces, fewest LI options out of any gender-orientation combo...
