K I feel pretty bad for this continued tangent, so here's an actual relevant question. Do you think there's a probability that the romance will be expanded in DLC or do you think MEA won't even get some? I'm kinda hoping we get to see what's gonna happen down the line

In Andromeda, we’re just choosing the neutral response every time, flavoured slightly differently. Why should the dichotomy of paragon/renegade or other similar systems be used as the default when it comes to roleplaying? The fact is that even if multiple dialogue "personalities" were possible, the distinctiveness makes them less cohesive when used in tandem because they stand out too much individually. There is less consistency if multiple dialogue styles are used. This reinforced sticking to one tone per run, even if there were no rewards. A baseline neutrality is actually arguably the best method to convey dialogue, as rather than focus on tone the dialogue focuses on intent.
As a result it's far easier to roleplay the character. Fortunately, there are many moments in the game where you can actually impose tone on the character.

quit holding back the people who fight for us to be treated like actual human beings. This is both sad and pathetic. This is a video game. This is a form of entertainment. It has no value other than what you make of it personally. You are not a lesser human being for not having equal content in the game. Your rights have not been infringed. Even worse, this isn't even a form of media that can form impressions on young people. This is ADULT content we're talking about. The latter actually has some reasonable arguments. There is no lack of inclusion. There is no fundamental homophobic context or implication. What is this. My God my people can't even celebrate pride without risking violence and THIS is what justifies your humanity. K I'm done replying to this. If you have more to say, PM me. --- Sorry actual Gil fans.

She has leaked a lot of stuff that were true, and she is a very reliable person, doesnt have powers or anything, but ok mate whatever floats your boat just ... try to build the minimal bridges between us and homophobes, because I see you still call us self-victims so I let you alone building those bridges, they love to have lgbtq peeps like you around So? I don't care what she has leaked or whether some happened to be true. Blindly believing anything that comes out of some source to justify your own biases is ridiculous, especially when that person has a personal stake in it. And stop being a hypocrite. Here you are continuing to separate even gay people into different boxes to perpetuate your own agenda, lumping me in with homophobes because I find it ridiculous that people correlate not having an uncensored sex cutscene to an attack on gay men. The best part is that I have totally been on board with the justified criticisms of Jaal's romance not being available, particularly because it made no sense both contextually (their culture) and from a meta perspective (he's a teammate which made sense as a romance). That's an ACTUAL failure on Bioware's part which I'm glad was amended. Not claims of sex cutscenes and people being unable to differentiate between a character/romance they dislike and a motivated attack by an LGBT pioneer. Laugh all you want and continue to stew in your echo chamber.

Yes I stand by the opinion that people who trashed the Gil romance were ungrateful. "Oh noes I don't see his ass in a cutscene". Not sure how it's relevant to Jaal though. I was never interested in Gil's ass to begin with, because his plotline is a turd sundae with a Jill on top. Great. Not every character has to appeal to you.

lol way to frame it in the most negative way possible. "Fenris's romance was an abusive relatonship where the PC either shoved their own ideologies into his throat or perpetuated his prejudices" I'm not going to argue your phobia of having a kid at the age of 22. Playing the victim by accusing BioWare of attacking the gay male community is and will continue to be some of the most stupid shit I've read on these forums All LI characters in DA2 are very broken, and I love them all for that because they are very real and human. It's not the same, that analogy does not work. I dont know if you know gaycaravaggio here, she's the user that leaked the romances and other stuff that were true, and she is the same person that leaked that this was intentional, alienated us in a way to not harm dudebros feelings having the less m/m content possible. Even if you didnt know this, after 5 years of development it's pretty much an obvious thing. Fortunately makejaalbi did something good and they even said that it was wrong that m/m players didnt have a squadmate, I support step by step, but not going backwards like MEA before bi Jaal. And I'm sorry but it's very insulting and ugly call us victims, and yes it's putting us in the mud. Being critical about something you like is not the same that being a victim and whiny child asking for more. The justification... the relationship between Gil and Jill is also real. Rather than explore it you seek to mock it. The conspiracy theories. I don't care what some user claimed to have leaked. Again, it's not about being critical. it's the manner of criticisms. There's a massive difference between fairly requesting additional content and improvement, and claiming a motivated attack.

Gil's story is all about his abusive friend instead of him, you dont even get an endgame kiss if you dont want the baby at 22 years old, but what you get is a censored sex scene. Reyes romance depends on a moral decision, and he has even less content. We are demanding more but you are the only one who see us playing the victim. I dont see any self-victimization here. But you do you. Thank you btw for being glad about Jaal tho lol way to frame it in the most negative way possible. "Fenris's romance was an abusive relatonship where the PC either shoved their own ideologies into his throat or perpetuated his prejudices" I'm not going to argue your phobia of having a kid at the age of 22. Playing the victim by accusing BioWare of attacking the gay male community because of the lack of an uncensored sex scene is and will continue to be some of the most stupid shit I've read on these forums. That's what I am referring to, not any of the requests for more content. On the other hand, the outrage about Jaal not being a romance was totally justified. I'm glad they fixed it. It made no sense considering the context of their culture.

Both characters are great, their content is crap. It's a fact and this is an insult to those fans demanding more fair and good content equal to other romances. It's fine you dont want to be in the fight but dont put in the mud our effort at the same time saying that because it's not true. Their content wasn't crap. If you can't differentiate between romance and NPC content that's your fault. In the case of Reyes, the two are so intertwined that it's even more baffling that people would make that conclusion. Also I'm not trying to muddy up anything. Asking for more is fine. Playing the victim isn't. Who in the world wouldn't want more? I also want more. It doesn't mean I have to be an entitled shit about it, least of all from a company like BioWare which has a consistently inclusive history. Ugh.

Well then suck it up. Preferably IRL. you name the time and place. I'll bring the protection and heavy sense of self loathing. *chuckle* Understanding that m/m content may sometimes unfortunately be less represented in a video game is self-loathing now lmao The fact is I'm mature enough to not need visualized nookie to validate a hypothetical relationship, or be so smitten with them that I would just DIE if I weren't at work with them. Knowing the difference between wanting something and absolutely needing it to the point of claiming inequality and oppression. The Gil romance was great. The Reyes romance was also great. The self-victimization is real.

Who cares what Mass Effect fans think. This is a new IP. Oh who am I kidding. They'll probably poison it with their toxicity like they did with the last few BioWare games. It's what happens when you make a game that has features that appeal too much to human emotions. ...that’s hyperbole. It's a paradox.

There are mods out there that remove cooldowns from changing profiles which effectively gives you more abilities.
If you play on PC, download it and install it.

So how are the forums now? Still a cesspool of negativity? I read that Jaal is now available for Scott. Nice! He says, after telling everyone who wanted it that they were ungrateful. Yes I stand by the opinion that people who trashed the Gil romance were ungrateful. "Oh noes I don't see his ass in a cutscene". Not sure how it's relevant to Jaal though.
