Gil Brodie - Chief Engineer (Official Thread)

Rude...how dare you insult my scarred sniper love! Garrus is the hottest!   
*reenters tactical cloak and sneaks away*

If you see her in motion, Lexi looks very much like Natalie Dormer, actually, so...

Oh, I know, I just meant that Gil is apparently voiced by the other "big voice" from GoT, so I doubt he'd get a generic face NOT based on the VA...

Oh, no! Pretty please, just no more Dorian-romance! I want a good, fulfilled love!

(Okay, I now hope, this will not happen again.)

I love some challenge. Prepare yourself Gil, Scott is coming.

I'm not going through another gay romance that is long distance or depressing (unless it's EXTREMELY story centric and will be a big deal in the next installment). What's so bad about two gays being together, close and happy?! Fuqqqqq.

I'm just a bit anxious about this whole '' finding his purpose '' thing. It could be extremely detrimental to the romance and the relationship. Like yes, do find your purpose, that's good, that's character development but oh my god can you please find the purpose and not leave me for a long time because of it? Like, can you find the purpose of you near me and promise it's not going to come between you and me? Please, PLEASE?!

Another thing that kinda makes me nervous is that '' finding his purpose '' doesn't sound like a very compelling storyline, and that it's not going to be very important to the story overall. Unless his purpose is going to be like, MAJOR PLOT POINT, which I doubt because hell we don't even know what he freaking looks like outside of '' very handsome '' lol.

But eh, there could be so much more to Gil but of course, since we know absolutely fucking nothing, I'm just tackling on the thing we do know, and I'm not very confident about him right now. 

I just want a romance without angst! But I suppose that goes against the belief that gay men can't actually be happy and content with their lives. 

That's.. not necessarily a compelling storyline though, and I fail to see how it could translate well to the overall importance of the character. His motivation is finding purpose, and I guess it's big enough that whoever met Gil felt it was important enough to write about, and it sounds pretty important in regards to Gil's character.

I'm not really feeling this finding oneself thing very attractive and it sounds pretty lame lol. But we'll see how it pans out, it could be good, or it can end in disaster.

I'm just extremely careful, I mean with how Dorian's romance '' ends '' you kinda have to be. But comparing this to that as if BW writers don't know anything else except depressing storylines is probably too harsh, so of course, I'll give them a chance. This whole finding your purpose thing, seems like it could really be an obstacle. But it could be an amazingly story important obstacle! Though... gay/bi NPC who we haven't met in any trailers yet, it's kinda hard to believe that LOL.

Of course there needs to be a tinge of drama, but I'm not doing another long distance gay relationship. No thanks.
And purpose in life does have char development possibilities, that is true, but if he finds purpose in something that's going to come between me and him, it's not gonna be fun. BUT, if his purpose is strongly linked to the story, it could be balling.

But yet again, Gil doesn't seem to be important enough to be showcased, and, what, only 3 weeks left until the release? I'm not sure what to think about that, as well as him being an NPC... I think I'll be cautious rather than optimistic.

The longest goddamn 3 weeks of my goddamn life.

It'll definitely be a bit awkward if none of the male characters we've seen are bi or gay, and we're not getting any new information until the release of the game, then BW made a conscious decision to not showcase any bi/gay guys in their trailers. That's a bit shady and weird, all things considered.

Though maybe the gay guy(s) of ME:A is like a adonis sex god and BW just doesn't want women to fawn over him and be disappointed, so they're keeping him under the wraps and distracting women with Jaal instead. Though to be honest no matter HOW gorgeous and fieeennn Gil is, I still think I'd rather have my gay/bi male alien. *shrug*

Dorian still stings. I wanted him to be the gay option from the moment I saw his leak pictures-when we didn't even have a name. If that isn't a perfect example of be careful what you wish for, I don't know what is. I mean I did enjoy parts of his romance, but over all it was not what I wanted at all.

I could honestly go on about the Dorian experience all day (like the fact the game didn't even allow me to romance him at first cause of the quest glitch), but the jest is he seemed to be a huge source of continued disappointment for me post launch.

DA:I will forever be the poster for inclusion and why representation is better then equal options to most...but for me it'll be the time I can romance someone who leaves me, or the guy who already slept with half the npc females in haven. (mind you I adore Iron Bull, but I hate that he's yet another promiscuous bi)

Trespasser was a let down for sure, and it was mainly cause half of the Iron Bull romance content was spent on the Dorian ship.  I feel like they were trying to validate a relationship that was received poorly by many people (cause honestly a lot of us are just sick of squad romances to begin with).
