How'd you do this? I'm trying to populate my city with just my own families but rando sims keep showing up and clogging up public spaces!! Hmm wait, I dont know if I ever got rid of them? I mostly ignore them or get them into a gay relationship I think, I actually can't play rn because my game laptop is in repairs so I can't check, sorry v_v Ah no problem. I've done that before in Sims 3... made all townies totally hot and all 100% in gay or lesbian relationships Down with heteronormativity

I don't know about it, there was even quest with male gay npc with dialogues and cinematics lol, also many male prostitutes in some cities, pity Geralt is straight, but I think it's a good sign.. Ooooh, prostitutes and a minor NPC who got exiled for liking the dick. What amazing queer content. Bioware may have shit the bed, but this isn't even like comparing apples to oranges. It's more like comparing raisins to rocks. That NPC happened to be one of my favorite NPCs in The Witcher 3 tbh, I really felt for him, especially because he was exiled over a stupid reason such as liking the dick. He was such a nice dude but he pulled the short end of the stick because he liked the dick. Harsh, but that's how the world of The Witcher is. What else would you expect? A gay NPC in an important leadership position who could freely do whatever he wants without consequences? That wouldn't fit in the world of The Witcher and you know it. The world of The Witcher is supposed to be a harsh, racist, homophobic, sexist, classist world, because it is heavily inspired by medieval Eastern-Europe, which was a harsh, racist, homophobic, sexist, classist world. Just because CDPR accurately portrayed that world in their videogames does not make them, the developers, racist, sexist or homophobes.

Yeah, Bioware reaaaally needs to drop the 'we're so progressive, be kind to each other gaiz' narrative when they've been cucked by a bunch of Trump voting basement dwellers. It's so freaking weird. On one hand that type is like "no one is hot. They all look like lesbians LMAO look at ur liberal inclusionnnnnn agenduhhh lololol" However, LGBTQA+ and players desiring to play as Sara Ryder romancing men are sending them valid criticisms about the games shortcomings. Wasn't there a dude that said he got rejected by one of the metric ass ton of romanceable flings across Andromeda? Although they sound meager, I'd surprisingly take a minuscule hook-up that's so short it skipped the Prima Guide if it meant we had a few more options. Still down with Reyes. Maybe with a Liam run down the line, although it's icky because I'm related to a "Liam" so I might just do 100% Reyes female romance stuff.

I don't see why him being an alien from a different galaxy should automatically make him bisexual. From our perspective he's also an alien from another galaxy- but from what I can see he's garnering a lot of interest from users who are attracted to men and not a lot from the users who aren't. The fact that people here care about the gender of the alien LI's is more than enough proof for me that the aliens themselves would generally care about gender too. .................what does this even mean?????? jaal is attracting interest from ppl attracted to men b/c he's a video game character being consumed by humans. he is a character written by humans in a pop culture product we're consuming today. the alien species in andromeda don't exist or have agency??? they're made up??????????? when you travel millions of light years away and miraculously find other life, expecting that life to understand what 'male' or 'female' means to you-- and experience that in the same way-- is.... it's just not going to happen. it's laughable. Yeah, they are made up and have genders identical to human ones... so you can't say "Jaal is an alien willing to date a human so he shouldn't care if they are male or female". He's a male alien, from a species with men and women... so him only being interested in women makes sense. I think there should have been a bi male LI, and making Jaal one would have been a wise choice, but you can't just say "He's an alien so it only made sense for him to be bi".

Okay. I stand corrected. Horribly corrected. I sat here trying to be calm and assumed that the code couldn't be contradicted.
And I'm wrong. Like, I was holding out hope for something. But no, gay male gamers get the rug yanked out from under them yet AGAIN.
I mean...this doesn't make any sense at all. None.
I dunno, at this point I just feel empty because I was defending things tooth and nail and then this happens.

The issue of set sexuality and why could Jaal be straight is that whenever sexual orientation comes into the equation. the one that get left out are usually the gay players. Let's compared Fallout 4 with playersexual vs DAI, gay males have the most options because most of the options are males, in DAI, with set sexuality, even with more males options, gay males still didn't get any of the extra options. With game like ME1, with set sexuality, there is an option for straight males, females, and lesbians, not no one for males, the same as ME2, in ME3, the bisexual option was just a modified one from females, in DAO, with set sexuality, gays and lesbians have 1 while everyone have 2, in DA2, with everyone being bisxual, when they include Sebastian as a set sexuality example, he would happen to be straight. I don't even need to mention Star Wars the Old Republic. The problem with set sexuality and the problem I have with it is that gay people, especially gay men will ALWAYS get the short end of the stick. They will ALWAYS have the LEAST options.It's not that I don't want everyone to have sexuality, it's because that whenever it happens, gay people are basically subjected to separation but equal from Bioware. In term of player agency and exclusivity, Bethesda has done a way better job to let everyone play as they are than Bioware who claimed to be exclusivity.

I'll try to give Bioware a pass right now, Believing that this decision had nothing to do with the writers or the devs themselves, but the managing had something to do with it I mean we have evidence that Jaal was bi at some point, or at least planned to be, maybe there was pressure coming down from EA, and not surprisingly it's us getting shafted again. I'm still thankful for the stuff they presented us with, it's just tiring that we always get the short end of the stick.

Also, for anyone coming across this thread baffled by the rage over a video game waifu; I actually don't much care about the romances. It's the fact that gay men, once again, are clearly treated differently to lesbians and straight guys/girls. TWO fucking squadmates, minimum, for all the others. ZERO for gay men. Just the GESTURE of one guy on the squad would have been fine for everyone here, whether he was to their taste or not. I have no doubt that this was indeed fear of backlash from a certain shitty vocal counterculture. So congrats, Bioware, on being utterly pathetic and spineless. Exactly. It could've been Drack for all I care. At least the developers would be saying, "We know how important these squad romances are, after all, we always make sure straight males, OUR MOST DARLING OF CONSUMERS, have several squadie options. So we've made one for gay males as well so that they, too, can experience the same content as straight males and females and lesbians (and bi folks)."

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!!" I just want a damn season in the base game for once. They always removed the most popular content. Pets! I want pets!!!!!

The fact that people here care about the gender of the alien LI's is more than enough proof for me that the aliens themselves would generally care about gender too. Because Jaal is a character crafted by writers who can make that mental connection between an openness to explore and a good opportunity to have a character available to both genders. And because their stated reason for assigning sexuality to various characters is " IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE."

Hmm wait, I dont know if I ever got rid of them? I mostly ignore them or get them into a gay relationship I think, I actually can't play rn because my game laptop is in repairs so I can't check, sorry v_v Ah no problem. I've done that before in Sims 3... made all townies totally hot and all 100% in gay or lesbian relationships Down with heteronormativity Check out MC Command Centre on Mod The Sims. You can set it to never produce townies, or to produce as many as you want. You can set up culling, and all sorts. (This is for TS4. For TS3 there is the nraas set of mods - should be easily found in google)

Is that recent cause that's awesome! I haven't played in awhile cause I usually go in and out of obsessing over that game, but I might play that while I wait for 12am. It's not that new, has been around a while I think. I don't have the game myself, but saw news about it and then some videos. It should have this in character creator: Oh damn, that is helpful. Maybe my sims will stop wanting to impregnate each other now!

If it is any consolation, I am downright certain someone is going to unlock that dialogue and create a mod. But unfortunately that only works in PC. I know how it feels, Atlus let me down early on when Yusuke was revealed as a non-romanceble character in Persona 5. Despite them being a Japanese company in the late 90's, they created a favorite character of mine Jun Kurosu/Kashihara who was a gay love interest for your male protagonist. I really hope they patch in Jaal soon, clearly they must see that they had led many people on and that it is unacceptable, right?

? the sex scenes were fine to me. They only made me wonder why the fuck was that so well animated when so much of the game looks like shit. Alright, I feel I should explain a bit. I actually rewatched Morrigan's sex scene and Cora and Peebee's just to be sure. I'd say Cora's is around the same level as Morrigan's. It's better animated, sure. But the almost complete dark background and somehow well-lit characters look off to me. Peebee's though, I really don't know how to describe it, the elongated neck, the "embrace eternity" and Scott/Sara's blank face. To me it's as startling as Morinth's, but with out the intention to be so. Of course youtube clips cannot convey the emotional build up toward the sex scenes through the entire game (best example, Mother Giselle's singing), so I don't really know. . .
