No. The people that whined about it were babies and idiots. It's just an expansion pack where if you're Imperial you can flirt with a dude or if you're republic a lady. I was imagining Planet of the Gays or something ridiculous. Nope just one option. God I hated that gay planet whining. KOTFE at least cut that shit out.

Just remember all the backlash (from everyone) to the "gay planet" expansion for SWTOR. OMG is that as bad as it sounds in context? That sounds 100x worse than the "oh by the way I'm transgender" fiasco. No. The people that whined about it were babies and idiots. It's just an expansion pack where if you're Imperial you can flirt with a dude or if you're republic a lady.

The trial had that side quest where you had to investigate a murder. It wasn't great but it was definitely a bit more meaningful than those fetch-quest-type things. The resolution options for that were dumb as fuck and super forced. So he wasn't guilt of murder. He was still guilt of ATTEMPTED murder. Pretty sure that's a crime. But your only options are to lie and let him go down for murder or let him go, basically. Ugh I pretty much facepalmed right there. That was such a bad attempt at a no good solution I just can't.

I had to call EA but I managed to get a refund whooo. I'll buy when it's dirt cheap. Shouldn't be too long. How? Seriously need to know if I can cancel and get a refund on mine, I ordered it on PS4 Store? Oh you ordered from Sony...yeah I think they give you like a one time refund so if you haven't used it you can call them up and ask. Sony are pretty dickish about giving refunds. =/

See if the romances had been good all around and the characters good I'd had a reason to struggle through the terrible animations and stilted dialogue. But without that being up to snuff? Lol at thinking I'm paying 70 bucks for that shit. I mean stilted dialogue isn't particularly new to this series, ME1 definitely comes to mind, but ME3 had its share of pure cringe as well. The fact that's its DA:I in space, which I did like (possibly even more than Origins, heresy yes I know) plus decent looking combat has me interested enough, as well as some latent interest in the plot. Yeah Shep had hammy as fuck lines he also had really good ones to make up for it. The only thing I really liked from DAI was the characters and MEA doesn't look like it has that going for it. Combat is fun as hell I admit tho.

I'm still waffling on whether or not to buy it, romance options by themselves are not enough to turn me off, but its clear this game isn't up to snuff. See if the romances had been good all around and the characters good I'd had a reason to struggle through the terrible animations and stilted dialogue. But without that being up to snuff?

Can't believe I considered skipping class the day this game came out. I suppose I should thank Bio Ware I'm happily gonna go and get myself some education. That's nothing. I booked two fucking weeks off work for this game fml Play DAO and DA2 (even if DA2 has repeatathon dungeons) instead. Much better use of time ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/RebJidSPcxyF0U0Rr0uW.png)

First Witcher 3 now Horizon maybe BW should stick to what they're best at and stop trying to force things. I wonder if this is just a rough transition, BioWare is clearly losing the crown when it comes to massive western RPGs and I wonder if this is just the rough patch where people have to adjust to it. The thing is if they just stuck to what they're good at (ME2 like games with a focus on characters and their relationships) they'd be fine. Yeah there's a cliche storm in there but it's tight and interesting enough to make a fun game. I don't know what they're trying to do when they drag it out and make it a slog. It brings the whole thing down.

You know if they didn't string us along for months rather than just letting us down ages ago I'd be a little excited to see the Peebee and Jaal interactions since they sound adorable. Instead, especially due to the remnants of bi Jaal code, I'm just bitter. The stringing along was a really shitty thing to do. Why even do it when the rage would just increase?

Haha, i know right? Im a primo Bioware apologist, always have been, and despite not really being interested in m/m content myself, i have been getting slowly but surely angrier ever since the announcement. Ever since the review scores dropped i have been afraid that ME may be dead in the water, but i actually dont care anymore. Maybe if they shelve Mass Effect theyll revive Jade Empire, who knows. Lets just hope the Secret IP team is more in line with the DA peeps, and not Montreal. I want to stay a Bioware-Fan, and not downgrade to just a Dragon Age-Fan. Gurl. I legit google 'Jade Empire 2 news' every month. Let's just go with that, Bioware. God no. Modern day BW couldn't do CF justice (not that they did originally but they'd make it even worse).

Okay, I didn't really say that his whole story revolves around being gay. I do think his romance really puts a lot of emphasis on the homosexuality, weirdly enough lol. See, look at the gay guys and their romances/stories so far that we've gotten from BW
1) Steve -> dead husband, getting over dead husband 2) Dorian -> daddy doesn't accept my sexuality 3) Gil -> lets become daddies and make it perfectly clear we cant have children without a third wheel
a lot of these stories put a lot of emphasis on the '' being gay '' thing, and especially Gil's seems so detached from the actual game and it's plot that it's almost weird and out of place. A lot of the times, these characters do seem like they are gay first, characters later, whether it comes to their story or their romance. I know I'm picky, but it's also why I seem to gravitate more towards bisexual males in BW games, because there is none of that gay profiling in their story or romance.
By all means, love Gil, his story, his romance, everything about him. I'm not very into him and some of his romance weirds me out. Dude, yes, this. In the space of one game he goes from a rakeish 'I take it as it comes, I don't settle down, I just do' to 'let's have a kid and be a big gay family with my hag, 22 year old guy I've started dating!' It's just...bizarre tonally when in context of the Mass Effect series. When I watched the 'let's have a kid' scene I had to double take. Like they skipped a game's worth of development lul

Eww that's shit. Also the game's short? Fuck me. Another reason I prefer BW game's linear. They were decent length and honest about it instead of this oooh 100 hours of collectathon bullshit and 12 hours if you do the main shit. Man what a disappointment. I feel more let down than I was by fallout 4. Least I can mod that shit to hell and build epic houses. Well, he's been playing for 16 hours now as his savefile states. He's not "complete all fetchquests" guy but tries to do most things and also is pretty slow - can just walk around for 30 minutes straight. And he's already done with Kadara. I think you can have "oooh, 100+ hours of gameplay" - if you set your goal to have 100% viability on all 5 planets and to scan every single shit. *disgusted noise*

The only one that I will probably be bitter towards in the long run is one Mr. Mac "Gotta bang da Asari" Waters. The buck stopped with him. So he looked at a coded and detailed Jaal romance and decided, "Nope! Now give me my blue space babe." Seriously, Mac's love with Asari reminds me of Quentin Tarantino's foot fetish. I'm screaming. I blame you for my neighbors thinking I'm crazy. XD

I mean shit at least Steve gave you comments after missions and dropped you off. They couldn't even have him do that much? Nah. He explains you how to drive the Nomad and on that all his plot importance is over *while Suvi appeared numerous times) from what I've seen while looking at my bf playing. He already did pretty much shitton of stuff (game appears to be really short plot-wise and apparently this "trust system" was bullshit too - he never took Liam with him, never talked to him then decided to go through all convos at once and got quick access to his loyalty and option to romance him because he simply did plot-critical points. "No, this time your romance won't be tied to plot! Brand-new system". Yeah. Of course. Gods, for now it's like 90% of their statements are reminding me of NMS fiasco. They promised too and haven't delivered shit. Maybe in a year or two game will be finished. It isn't looking finished at all for now. Eww that's shit. Also the game's short? Fuck me. Another reason I prefer BW game's linear. They were decent length and honest about it instead of this oooh 100 hours of collectathon bullshit and 12 hours if you do the main shit.

Leliana She and Silk Fox are my favorites. ![<3](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/bYmUqWGYNIhNE0GJanhP.png) Merrill too but I don't play lady Hawke in DA2. Finally someone else who likes Merrill!! I also play as M!Hawke tho, small world I think DA's inclusive...ness (inclusivity? what are words) is actually more because the fanbase is a lot more diverse. They put out a stat thing for DAI that said that 38% of the Inquisitors were female, which is more than double what ME3's was. *fist bumps* Yeah I'm more of a DA fan than a ME fan I only really got into ME because it was made by BW and Meer won me over. (Even if i was a forever alone Shep).

I mean even if they had to remove Gil/Reyes for m/m why not have Jaal? Was that truly such a hard bone to throw? We have, what, 10 romances? Only 2 of them are M/M. I don't think the answer is to remove those 2 M/M in order to get... one M/M option. But that's just me. Fair enough.
