Yeah Jill's whole addition in Gil's story is just kind of awful. I don't know what they were thinking did no one give that a once over and go "man this is a bit weird maybe we should write this chick out?"

You cannot. He'll still have the baby. He just says he is ready for this and wants to do it. That's what I was afraid of. He totally caves under the pressure. He internalizes Jill's psychologically hurtful words and ends up feeling like he needs to have the baby in order to find purpose and meaning in his life. The implication is that he can't adequately contribute to society as a gay man without making a baby. There's more to it than that, since there is actually a need for humanity to increase in numbers within the context of the game, but I cannot separate the situation and it's implications from real life. And an unromanced Gil is left in a strange relationship with his female friend, raising a baby with her because he feels like he needs to, lacking the type of love that he needs (from a man). No thank you. I need to romance him every playthrough to protect him from that fate. Jesus christ that's a super level of fucked up. What were they thinking with Jill. Good why didn't they just give him a dead ex. As eye rolling as it is it's not this awful

SO. Finished the game, with Sara, romanced Jaal. I know I said I was gonna go with Vetra first but hey. I... didn't actually like it. He reminded me of a quote, I think it was in a game and it might even have been a Bioware game but a lady was listing characteristics of the perfect man and it was like "Strong -- but not emotionally repressed, earnest -- but not cheesy (er...), vulnerable -- but not whiny" or something along those lines. He felt very manufactured. I broke Peebee's heart which I felt kiiinda bad about because I actually like her but WE SAID IT WAS CASUALLY PEEBEE GOD. I also broke Vetra's heart which I felt AWFUL about and I am definitely going with her the next time I'm rolling a fryder. While I was playing I was keeping an eye out for my mryder and Gil does nothing for me. The kid thing really feels like it was shoved in there, "I'm a feel it do it kinda guy" I'm gonna make a decades long commitment! Yeeeaaahhh. Maybe he shows another side while romancing him but for now: hard pass. BUT! Reyes. Romantic, ruthless, sneaky, schemy, sexy and with maybe just a dash of psychopath and an inability to ever be 100% sure you're not being used free of charge (or, at the very least, weren't initially)? Yes sir. I have weird turn ons don't judge me. Now I just need to make a Scott I can stand looking at for a very long game, which is easier said than done. Agreed about Jaal it's just awkward and makes me think of a YA novel which I can only tolerate when the female is an airhead for the lulz value and since that's the exact opposite of how I play my fem PCs nah. Pfft I've been asking for a Reyes like LI for the longest. I'm so happy I finally have him. Kind of pissed he's not a companion but hell can't win em all. I just use the default. I can't work with that CC with males I just can't. I tried and got so far but in the end he was still ugly as fuck so I went default.

Yeah I got this awful glitch with shaky cam. I'd wait for the first few bug patches. It'll be cheaper than too considering metacritic is in a freefall. Metacritic player reviews started at 3.6 and have risen to 4.6 in the first week as the hate group who trolled it on day one lost ground to people who did play it. And if you go onto the xbox one store where people who bought it review it, last I looked it had 4.3 out of 5. The reviews for the PC and Xbox One were solid between 75 and 77. Only the PS4 lost any real ground and it went from 76 to 73 based on critic reviews. The PS4 tends to include blogs which tend to pander to the loudest group in order to gain followers. Ironically while the PS4 dropped a bit based on critic reviews, players reviews have ticked up slowly. So they are in no way in free fall by any definition. But the game will go on sale eventually, and if a person is willing to wait I would wait for the package that will likely come out in a couple months and include the first DLC. Fair enough that said I'd still recommend waiting because the game's just not worth full price unless you're a super fan.

They're both shits but I went with Reyes since he was the shit I was banging.
I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could throw them tho.
Also Sloan's too dumb to live. Fell for Reyes stupid ass duel shit and tried to threaten the human pathfinder that made her planet less shit? FOH.

Yep it auto went to the friendship scene. On the upside I didn't get that awkward turning her down dialogue but damnit I wanted to bang her. I didn't get the option with Peebee, either. She just said like "thanks for this" and the scene ends, kicking me out of the escape pod area. There wasn't anything at all that seemed to be romance related dialogue with her and no option for sex. I assumed it was because I'd already locked in with Reyes. I'd already had the dance scene. I think Reyes is just bugged because I did that scene when I was locked in with Liam and she offered.

That wasn't free. You need Trespasser for that. Nope. It was part otf the pre-Trespasser patch and had nothing to do with the last DLC. Huh I heard plenty of people asking why they didn't get that when they were fully patched but they didn't have the dlc.

rip. I hate when games rush me flirting with someone. Damn it game let me take my time! I couldn't even have casual banging with Peebee. why game why? You couldn't? She still offers it to you even if you never flirt with her, even having a piece of dialogue referring to you not flirting before that. Yep it auto went to the friendship scene. On the upside I didn't get that awkward turning her down dialogue but damnit I wanted to bang her.

Yeah I locked in Reyes early and I can't romance anyone else now. So he's supposed to be exclusive I'm guessing. That happened for me, too. I think you have to start the Gil flirts early or they stop. I didn't take the first one or two and, by time I went to his poker game, there weren't flirt options available with him anymore. rip. I hate when games rush me flirting with someone. Damn it game let me take my time! I couldn't even have casual banging with Peebee. why game why?

The other day I was playing and my boyfriend was like, "why don't you just skip this cutscene, why does it keep playing?" I appreciate his optimism. lol I sometimes find myself mashing square hoping that it'll somehow skip the long ass traveling cutscenes... yeah, I'm that desperate. I did the same thing with space. I love you Reyes but your stupid mission requiring me to read my email makes me rage. I DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE PLANET BUT I STILL GET BS LEAVING THE PLANET SCREEN.

This is especially funny considering the fact that BW not only fixed some bugs and patched in small QOL features for DAI, they added a not-insignificant amount of free content. The Black Emporium, Golden Nug, wardrobe updates, trials, and new ability upgrades were all completely free. But they're bad and greedy people, so they're definitely going to charge players to patch MEA. That wasn't free. You need Trespasser for that.

He pretended he was gonna wait for her to be older which is why I put vibes. That said lmao yeah I pretty much hc'd her as brainwashing him too. Poor guy. Yeah, that's true. Still, though the whole damn thing is just unholy and gross. I never really felt sorry for Jacob, the guy is a manipulative shit that outright threatened to kill himself if Bella (aka the Goddess of All Mary Sues) didn't makeout with him in Eclipse. God even after all these years I still hate that series. I really need to let it go. Truth. Yeah I felt that was part of the "let's make him awful so Edward's stalker ass look better." crapola. He was decent before that became a thing. It really is awful tho. And then freaking 50 shades decides to show it's face so it spawned even more crap.

Pfff. There were no pedo "vibes" just straight up child bride pedophile. Stephanie Meyer's has issues (and fetishes) that I can't begin to understand. The only thing that made reading that trash worth my time was my constant headcanoning of that abomination secretly being an evil brainwashing monster. He pretended he was gonna wait for her to be older which is why I put vibes. That said lmao yeah I pretty much hc'd her as brainwashing him too. Poor guy.

lmao. I can imagine this disgusting mess that only Jaal and Sara think is beautiful and everyone else is like "kill it! Kill it now!" Then it eats them and everyone's all "I knew this was gonna happen." then it starts a plague. So, basically just like Twilight: Breaking Dawn... God help us all if Liam decides to imprint on the baby. *shudders* *screams* WHY DID YOU REMIND ME OF THAT. I had purged it from my mind! It's like Meyer couldn't make Jacob creepy enough to make Edward look better. She had to give him pedo vibes too.

As far as i know its never mentioned in-game, not sure where people got that from. If you romance Jaal his mother sends you emails asking about kids, but i don't believe its ever suggested its actually possible? Thank the Maker, the hybrid baby is not the case. Every time I hear "hybrid baby" I think of Crawlers in Dead Space 2 (don't Google it lol). lmao. I can imagine this disgusting mess that only Jaal and Sara think is beautiful and everyone else is like "kill it! Kill it now!" Then it eats them and everyone's all "I knew this was gonna happen." then it starts a plague.

I don't think they could even attempt the bolded. That'd be beyond absurd. Hopefully they'll leave the cheating plots to people who can do them properly. I wouldn't be against an LI that cheated on you (provided you got one that didn't and said cheating was actually well written) and the romance was partly about dealing with that (instead of just ending) but yeah. I don't trust BW to handle that properly so no go. Agreed. I just went absurdist for the hell of it. That said, I think your right in that Bioware should probably not go for cheating drama in romances. No matter how well done people are going to rage regardless. Oh so was I. I don't actually want the Jaal thing (though the fangirl tears if it happened. Delicious) but seriously no BW. Please don't. They're not good at them. They can't even do drama properly most of the time. (Blackwall's stupid ass lie and Alistair dumping you cause you can't give him babies as king but he's perfectly fine marrying Anora despite the same issue there (or Anora marrying male PC). It's just nah I'm good.

*super cringe* dear lord I can see them doing that again. No devs if you reading this. No. Just don't. Stop while you ahead. Bioware: Wait, what? You're saying this is racially offensive. But Liam is a black man?! Were just paying homage to his people's cultural customs, right? Right? Why is everyone staring at us like that? I don't think they could even attempt the bolded. That'd be beyond absurd. Hopefully they'll leave the cheating plots to people who can do them properly.

Fix'd that for you. The unfortunate implications of BW doing that with their black male LI again is just. No. Exactly! Given the ME series dev team track record with unfortunate implications (which I believe they don't give a damn about besides the bare minimum) I could totally see them pull this again with the excuse of "it just makes sense for his character, right?" *super cringe* dear lord I can see them doing that again. No devs if you reading this. No. Just don't. Stop while you ahead.

Could anyone even imagine the shitstorm that would unleashed if Liam pulled a Jacob and dumped Sara to makeout with an Angaran in the sequel? It would be glorious and terrifying to watch. A better shitstorm would be Jaal dumping Sara to make out with Peebee and leave their hybrid baby for Sara to take care of the baby alone. Especially if he dumped her because he couldn't have babies with her and his mom kept pressuring him.
