Gil Brodie - Chief Engineer (Official Thread)

I could be wrong though! I'd much rather be wrong than right when it comes to any of these m/m worries! 

I am going to play on PC. Probably going to spend a lot of time on single player but I'd love to try multiplayer. I have not actually played ME3 multiplayer, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. 

My multiplayer game right now is Titanfall 2, but sadly the player count is low and dropping on PC. I guess it's a good excuse to jump on MEA multiplayer. 

Lol. I can see it now. A trail of angry gays trailing behind you across the universes demanding you give Brodie back or share

I can see it now, Brodie is killed

Yasss I've been waiting for any opportunity to rep for Katya.

I mean, isn't it always opportune to reference RuPaul's Drag Race?

Absolutely agree!!!

I hope Gil looks like an adult man, you know? Like that adult man quality, where he looks like an adult. Cause that keeps me interested. It's whateva.

That "we" is a little too big, personally, I would be verrrry happy with a non-squad Renly romance. And there are others in this thread who would agree with me. But then I think BW really needs to start offering more non-squad romances. It's starting to feel a little ... Cramped. Yes, I can bang everyone of my team, but surely in this world I am physically capable of falling for people outside the team? I mean, look at how many people wanted a Scout Harding romance.

This seems to be the designated space for those of us in m/m romance limbo.

I'm keeping my expectations low. I allowed myself to get swept up in the Dorian hype and was severely disappointed with the "romance." I didn't enjoy being stuck with a narcissist who laughed at thought of being in a relationship with me after I refused to do the casual sex thing with him. I was relieved when we broke up towards the end of the game. I wouldn't have romanced him at all, but I felt like I needed to in order to establish that my inquisitor was gay (and Bull was even further away from my type).

I guess I got spoiled by the Mass Effect trilogy. I cannot overstate how much I loved the Kaidan romance. I'm one of the ones that didn't mod or glitch the first game and had the very sweet "friends to lovers" narrative. I thought it was handled very well and it felt very true to me when Kaidan finally asked Shepard out. If every male character in the entire trilogy were available to John as a romance option, I would still pick Kaidan everytime.

Funny how I thought two choices was plenty in Mass Effect 3, but realized how limiting it really is when playing a game where I don't like either option, like Dragon Age: Inquisition. I would have enjoyed that game so much more if I could have romanced Cullen.

Based on past trends, my guess is we only get two m/m options in Andromeda as well. Though, of course, I would prefer a squadmate romance (like Kaidan), I could see myself going for a crewmember if they had decent development and screentime (like Cullen). What matters most is that his story is done well and that I like him.

Based on the little we know on Gil Brodie so far, I'm doubtful that he's the guy for me. It'd be easier to make that call if we had more info on him, but until BioWare starts being more generous with info on m/m romances, I am not preordering this game.

TL;DR: Hi. I'm new here.
