I'm unsure as to what, if there is one, the complaint is about the clip shown. The animation seemed good. I didn't notice any issue with it. As for the dialogue, I actually thought it was really cute and hilarious. So many times in games we are just this suave super-person who has all the NPC's throwing themselves at you. It's nice to see one where the PC gets flustered when flirting. I like it! Also, Kallo and I are going to be super-friends. This I know. I agree with this. If there was anything to cringe about, it'd be some of the flirty dialogue from Mass Effect 2. I actively avoided talking to Jacob most of the time as FemShep because of how accidentally awful it was, I did not like the flirting dialogue with Miranda one bit, Samara's was weird but was saved by being shot down, and the one with Jack just never settled well with me. Anyone remember this quote: "Who said anything about love? I just want to get you in bed." I laughed when I first heard it.

gay person: "this is really relatable in a gay way" A Straight™: "um... sweaty" As A Gay tm that's not really what you said, nor do I think that's where the objection stemmed from. It probably came from the "should stay in their lane" comment which is unnecessary. Besides, there really is nothing about awkward flirting that's inherently gay. Unless you were commenting on the fact that it was two women flirting but then I don't think that's the bit people find universally identifiable/would object to Sole Gay Purview tm being claimed.

BioWare perfectly captured the moment of awkwardness. From the dialog straight out of a Tumblr fanfic, to the wooden facial animations created by first year college students, to the fourth wall comment of the Salarian as if nobody else in the scene could hear him. This is true art, and anybody who says otherwise just needs to get over their latent homophobia. lol @ this edgelord post.

Wow, that was painful. I hope it isn't indicative of the quality of the game in general. That scene is poorly written, badly animated, and the acting stilted. You didn't find it humorous? It's hilarious if you ask me, and captures awkward chatting up well: perhaps you need to strike out more (like me) on tinder dates, and this scene may ring more true for you bro haha

Naw didn't you hear?
If I don't like a particular dialogue, it must be the bad writing.
All flirts must be professionally conducted in a matter that I find suitable.
It is known.

In general it was so cornball it actually hurt. This was also one of those things that I felt was better handled on the DA side. This line in particular was funny though. Like, is that shit supposed to work? I guess something like that might work on someone in real life. Dunno who the heck is supposed to fall for it, but crazier things have happened.

It's been so long since I actually initiated a non-Kelly Chambers romance in ME2. I typically avoided them like the plague.

I didn't think that edgelording really had much to do with nihilism. I thought it was just an internet shtick, like claiming to laugh at videos of puppies being eaten.

And really, if you're looking for the most ridiculous fanfiction, you are not going to find it on Tumblr. At most, you'll see fanmade comics and such (many of which are pretty well drawn btw), but your best bet is going to fanfiction.net if you want to see stuff that could make you accidentally implode from cringing hard.

That's still stems from nihlism, the devalueing of life it being meaningless. Calling someone an edgelord for disagreeing about the quality of a vg script, and animations makes no sense.

TIL no human being is ever allowed to have any traces of awkwardness ever for any reason at all from now until the heat death of the universe, and if you ARE at all awkward, you should be criticized and shunned for said awkwardness, because only ~*tru professionals*~ are allowed to exist.
There's two fucking flirt lines. You've now seen what the "Emotional" flirt does. If you don't like it, pick the other fucking one or romance someone else.
Traynor taking a shower in her underwear, and then Shepard joining her whilst fully clothed was ten billion percent more awkward than this was, and not in a humorous way.

I'm just impressed by how many presumably straight grown men are familiar with "Tumblr fanfic" enough to be able to identify and quantify it.
Anyway, just want to make sure I cover all the bases here: This really is the worst thing ever, since yesterday's MEA-related outrage. That game Bioware made 20 years ago was so much better than this. Gay people, stop shoving your throbbing gayness down my throat. Animation. Jennifer Hepler. Manveer Heir.
We good?
Edit: Oh yeah, I cringed. I cringed both ironically and unironically. I cringed on behalf of the cringing characters. I meta-cringed, even.

It was lovely, how awkward they all were. Good voice acting too. Hilarious! I must try that one time, just for the festival of awkward. I love the characterization here.

I would add, reminds me a little of the frisson between Vision and the red witch in Civil War. Whedonesque is right, I love his writing. Perfect blend of epic and human. Pacing and variety. That's also what I found in the trial ten hours of Andromeda.

I thought it was adorable and I was actually hoping for the option to be awkward at flirting. I hope it's there with other romances as well because it'd fit with my Ryder so much

This is bad? Why? Sara is so adorable! I love the awkwardness. This single scene might change my mind about playing it. I mean at least Sara (from what I gathered from others, not just this) has a personality. Unlike a certain Inquisitor...
