I thought Suvi's faith was handled quite poorly. The first dialogue where she mentions it is hilariously bad.
First Suvi comes up with this really unnaturally sounding and clumsy line:
and then Ryder's options for replying are even worse:
“I feel the same way.” or “There’s no higher power.”
There is no option to be an agnostic/atheist without being a jerk to her or lying.

Are you kidding? Suvi is the posterchild for heavy-handed writing. She jumps straight into telling you how much she loves science but also loves Jesus and brings it up over and over again, she barely discusses anything else. There's no one on the ship that comes close to being as one note and boring as she is. And don't get me started on that dialogue option with her if your Ryder isn't religious. "I feel the same way" or "There's no higher power" LOL Yeah, she is awful. Worse than Sera.

I think the gaming industry could greatly benefit from an RPG not made from western perspectives and predominantly thrown away Roman Catholicism but from the eastern Greek/Russian Orthodoxy.
But then again "dualism" would suffer + no gay romances. Must be the reason nobody in the west cries foul when they get snuffed by the bucketload.
By the way, what is western scientism these days, more dogma than anything else. Heaps of arithmetic assumptions on top of arithmetic assumptions of fools we are encouraged to worship. If it sounds and feels good go for it as long as it doesn't produce anything tangible? Profit before science = western credo.

Suvi's faith was very well done. I think Bioware handled a lot of difficult things well in this game, esp since they altered Hainly's dialogue. It feels entirely natural that Suvi would talk about her belief in a higher power when faced with incredible things, and that Hainly would be open about her past in the Milky Way when you ask her why she came to Andromeda after taking her fiance out of cryo.
The existence of openly religious or LGBTQ characters isn't some conspiracy against anyone, it's simply realism. There are plenty of games which don't have any diversity if anyone finds it a triggering presence.

Isn't it funny how including people of different ethnicities, faiths and sexualities is always a "political" move, and excluding them never is? Kinda like how Christians/Muslims/Jews/White men* pretend they are oppressed when they can't oppress other people. * I'm a white man. Get over yourself.

To be honest, I am mad at Bioware for allowing this type of criticism to occur and not defend her. They defended another employee (sort of employee, I don't know the whole story there) and yet let Maggs absorb all these hits. Maggs, if you're reading this, I'm on your side. It's just another reason why I don't understand this version of Bioware. The developers all gave a victory middle-finger to all the nay-sayers that the game was irrevocably broken. They fixed A LOT and then again it makes you wonder... why did it go out like this? What slowed up the process? Where did the production lines break and why wasn't there someone to say, "Hey, we're not making this deadline with all of this turnover and turmoil. (INSERT 14 NAMES) all left. We're going to embarrass and endanger our livelihoods because the fans are going to react horribly. This will not ever go away. We got a small taste of it with Inquisition..." The problem is that beyond the surface these are two very different individuals at the company. With Maggs BioWare can reach out internally and help her with any issues she might be having, with the other person she wasn't an employee of BioWare and they couldn't reach her and basically said "she didn't work for BioWare and those attacks are not appropriate". The other problem is when they did make their statement it seemed to make everything worse for it just put a spotlight on the issue and drew more attention then before.

So, why is it pandering when a trans person/ racial minority/ gay person is included, but not when someone's religious beliefs are brought up?
Is that not pandering to the religious communities?

I want to give them credit for one thing I found refreshing. Making Suvi religious and even a scientist. I thought her religious beliefs were handled very well and didn't come off as heavy handed or cheesy I agree, Suvi is great.

1. Suvi is most annoying character in the game for me. Mostly because I accidentally agreed with her and had to listen to all that non sense. But it felt so "American religous" so whatever. I'm used to think Americans are weird. In Europe you won't find all those deluded christians on every corner.
2. SJW is a label, stereotype. And that what people mean when they say it's SJW agenda in this game. And that's 100% truth. Those who share views won't feel it, because they agree and that is natural. But for me game looks simply silly. Trying to make males look weak all the time. Good luck with that. Lol.
3. So don't pretend it's about not letting others having fun. It's about bullying majority for the fun of minority. And yeah that is SJW agenda.

quoted from Mass Effect wiki: Shepard can invite Vega and Cortez for a night of drinks and watching biotiball featuring the Seattle Sorcerers taking on the Usaru Maestros, before or after the party. Cortez sends an e-mail asking for an invitation, if Shepard has helped him reach a sense of closure on his husband's death. Um Vega isn't gay. Straight guys can be friends with a gay guy.

As someone who frequenly watches videos from the skeptic community, I find this whole notion of Bioware pandering to SJW's absolutely ridiculous. It's not "pandering" or "hamfisted" to include some LGBT folks in their games for christ's sake. Bioware has always been inclusive in that way and I don't see anything wrong with it. Now, if they start in with talking about 500 genders, then I'll raise my eyebrow.
I also don't think there was any agenda to purposely make women ugly or anything. It's nonsense. People like to think that Anita Sarkeesian actually has sway with game developers and I find it laughable. I don't think any game developers give a shit about her inane claptrap.

I just have to say these Anti-SJW "Gays ruin Bioware" people need to get real. Bioware has always included gay/lesbian romances and lbgt characters. Maybe go play any other game on the market if you aren't even comfortable enough to play a game with an all female race? (Who of course would have the ability to procreate with each other to carry on the species.) You are going to complain about Asari who have been a pivotal species in the series for 10 years? Then maybe ME isn't the game for you.
