Hello all. I hope you folks are all well.
This post will contain a bit of a spoiler, but i really wanted to address this, and I haven't seen anyone else do it. I also want to say first that I am enjoying the game, and fully plan to complete my play-through.
Now i did hit google at look up the romance options. Yes some people like to have it occur naturally, but I wanted to know so i could see what my options were and the interact with those people to see their personalities. Like many others, I was pretty disappointed when i found out the Gil is the only gay romance option, although it seems you can randomly hook up with a citizen on a planet, but only if you complete story missions in a certain way. After bigging up Bioware to pretty much everyone i know about how they are such inclusive writers, I certainly feel let down, and am reminded of Steve the pilot. Compared to all the options for other sexualities, it seems like this was slapped on at the end when they realized they left gay men out.
That vented, the main concern i'm having is deja vu. I've just completed the rescue mission on Voeld. I was so shocked and dismayed. All i could think about was ME2 when you board a collector ship, because they've been kidnapping citizens, and you discover they are putting people into pods. After indoctrinating them, they then mutate the citizen into collectors to propagate the collector species/agenda. Meanwhile the humans have split into two factions (alliance and cerberus) and do not get along. I mean really?!? Did we seriously fly 600 years across the dark expanse to replay the same plot over again?? Now i get that there is more story to come and hopefully it takes a left turn very soon, but where normally i'm so into the story with anticipation, I gotta say completing that mission, my heart just sank. And no one seems to be talking about it.
