Yep. Everyone's like I want equal options and I'm all If I get choice and one of them isn't a complete shit I'm good. Maybe I have low standards? I just don't wanna end up in a Sky/Amomen situation (though Sky is my bae I wish I could've romanced Zu too). And BW teams tend to be on the smaller side so you get even less chance of having a wide variety for each sexuality. Seriously when I realized in DAO I had a choice I was so happy. I don't blame them for that honestly. Some characters shouldn't be romancable (I'd love for someone to be in a stable relationship that doesn't go south man Aveline was a breathe of fresh air). I stopped being overly picky after Origins restricted my choices to either Zevran or the brothel while straight people had two proper options to choose from. Anomen was that for me. I'd take anyone over him. ANYONE. (Him and Carth because good grief. And don't get me started on how Carth's punk ass acted if you were DS. Least dudes kept their girlfriend no matter their alignment). Wishing for pure balance is just gonna end up with me frustrated. I just want choices. (Another reason SWTOR bothered the hell out of me. While I did like most of the LIs (Fuck you Corso Riggs) it'd been nice to have a choice. Instead it was just fling material (Piece, that whiny scientists as a consular) thankfully most of the male LIs were decent (even if boring. Good lord Iresso. Not that Nadia was any better on that front.) with only a few doozies (Once again FUCK YOU CORSO RIGGS. I made my smuggler the most promiscuous character I ever made just to piss him off). So yeah.

Right!? Back in the day (I started at Jade Empire so not that early) it was one character and one character only for F/F. You tell me I get two squadies and some extra bang? That is great news for me. I mean it is tricky the way things go for Bioware now adays. They have committed to giving characters orientations bad call imo, the squads are small when you break it up by gender and then sexuality. Edit: I'll also add that sometimes they don't want to make all characters romancable and that is fine also but it can lead to some genders and sexualities feeling the hurt. Like granddaddy Krogan makes sense but gay males have no choices when it comes to squadmates. It's Jaal or nothing. Also Vivienne made total sense not to be romancable but it left F/F feeling the pain having to go Sera or nothing when we could have had at Cassandra and Sera. Orientations just suck for people who want same gender romances and I do think its not malicious. Yep. Everyone's like I want equal options and I'm all If I get choice and one of them isn't a complete shit I'm good. Maybe I have low standards? I just don't wanna end up in a Sky/Amomen situation (though Sky is my bae I wish I could've romanced Zu too).

I'm surprised that, if this information is to be believed (which the evidence suggests it should be), straight women and gay men get literally two options for an actual romance, and people aren't more angry about that??? That makes me so upset. They missed a great opportunity to actually give us equal amounts of everything. It's also weird that they would require 3 romances for the trophy if some of us can't do it. Here's to hoping somebody missed something somewhere. I've been playing a female in BW games since the beginning. As long as I get 2 options I really really don't care.

Did a lot of people get banned at the end of the old bsn? I emotionally detached myself from there a good bit before it's demise. Just kept in touch with a few peeps-mainly on skype. yep at the end people were getting banned for questioning bans and whatnot. It was ridiculous.

I got 13 warning points, and tbh I deserved almost all of them This is my shocked face. I never got banned. The warning about "breasts and boobies" still makes me chuckle a little. When that was happening, I knew it was time to leave. Let me think I got banned...at least five times now that I think about it. Usually for arguing lul. Though at the end of it I was getting banned for pointing out that they had banned me and not given me a reason. They could fuck themselves on that front.

I don't think IB/Dorian would've become such a big deal in the DLC if not for the hysteria that surrounded it in the main game. After that the devs pretty much had to flesh it out more and that came at the expense of the Dorian/Quizzy and Bull/Quizzy romances.
So I'm not really worried about PB&J on that front.
That said if he constantly hits on her meanwhile my PC has to practically throw themselves at him that's not gonna be cool.

I honestly hope characters that I don't romance find comfort and companionship in someone else. I really enjoyed learning about Dagna/Sera, Dorian/Iron Bull, Tali/Garrus and Blackwall/Josephine because the world didn't stop for them because I didn't want romance them. Can people not have a crush on more than one person? Do you wait around pouting because someone isn't into you? Not only do I want PB&J, I also want Cora to romance or have some sort of relationship with Scott if I decide to play as Sara, I just want him to be happy and hopefully healthy.This so much. Oh my gosh, it'd intensify Cora-Sara bromance so much... My girl would have not only her twin bro but also such a great sis in-law I would airlock her if she touched my brother. </3

So far I've done what I usually do. (well except my female is a biotic instead of a soldier because soldier can die in a fire.)
My male Ryder is either gonna be an infiltrator or an adept and emotional and hot headed, my female so far is an adept and cold and logical. I love her so far. Even if her face is ridiculous.

I think you also have to have completed Sagacious Zu's conversations about his background, since it ties into Dawn Star. I think you also have to have completed Sagacious Zu's conversations about his background, since it ties into Dawn Star. Oh yeah if he hates you it doesn't work out XD

Nope. But thankfully there's m/m alien romance now so we won't have to hear how every human aotumatically sucks and every alien is automatically amazing lol There is that at least. Also Liam is such a bro I can't count him as sucking

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I hope it'd end up better than the Jade Empire threesome tho. Then again them being cousins did kind of put a damper on things. haha I never realized they were cousins. I wouldn't mind if PB and Jaal go for the polygamous thing. That can be playthrough 2. That kind of makes the trophy make more sense. Also if they count the flings. Yeah you only learn it if you bring Dawn Star to the final battle but yeah. As long as it's stuck on that track I'm perfectly okay with it. Yeah

I love that name. I think that'd be the only way I'd romance Peebee is if I could romance her while romancing Jaal. Some LIs are supposedly okay with that... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I hope it'd end up better than the Jade Empire threesome tho. Then again them being cousins did kind of put a damper on things.

I really dislike companion side hookups. hmmmm...either way shouldn't be an issue in my first playthrough, and after that I should have more details on how to avoid PB&J. At least I hope there's an easy way to avoid it. *groans* That's going to be the tumblr ship name, isn't it? I love that name. I think that'd be the only way I'd romance Peebee is if I could romance her while romancing Jaal.

Yeah their doing het companion hook ups. Also hopefully their flirting will only start if you reject both. Wait so people raged about gay hook ups? because they were gay? this seems kinda redundant in a bioware game. I mean I kinda understand not liking companions hook up as a rule but the rest not that much. Nah it was other things that had complained about for a gay couple that wasn't when said couple was straight. So yeah I don't blame the devs. Not because of them being gay.

I hope this is the case. *looks worriedly at Lexi and Drack* You can't reject either Lexi or Drack since none of them are companions. I don't think it's possible to prevent them getting together. Yep. Maybe if companions were killable alas it doesn't look like this is one of those.

I'm just glad it seems Jaal only ends up with PeeBee if you reject him. That's why I'm glad romances have no cut-off in this game. I don't have to worry about a Dorian/Bull moment. Tali/Garrus was something I saw since ME1, so it didn't surprise me. Just like PeeBee with Jaal after hearing her thoughts on him. Wait Jaal and Peebee get together and not Vetra and Peebee, well that is a huge disappointment. I was expecting that after Bull/Dorian we would be having some femslah, guess not. After the reaction that got I don't blame the devs from running far away.

But that would still make him bi, is my point. Even if he prefers women, had he gone for a male Shepard, it's because he's at least slightly attracted to men. Which would've been cool. My point is had Garrus been an option for a male Shepard, it's because he's bisexual. Not a straight turian who happens to fall for a human who happens to be male, but it's okay 'cuz physiology. It's kinda like saying gay guys and straight girls should consider Vetra a valid option, cuz she's a turian. Not saying I wouldn't necessarily ever romance Vetra. I think she's a cool character. But in that case I'm roleplaying a bi or lesbian Sara, not a straight one. My issue is Garrus never shows any attraction to a female human that's not Shepard. Despite Michael being thirsty as hell. But fair enough.

Yeah. I hope he's not overtly flirty too. Or if he is at the very least pay our PCs attention. I hate when an LI flirts more with an NPC than with my PC who's romancing them. It's awkward. The only character I dislike enough to do that to is Kaidan. I did it to Steve once but then I felt like a super douchebag. I almost manged it with Liara but that's because I assumed she knocked herself up on Earth. Fair enough, I don't do it because I dislike characters though. Expecially because I'd have to either always choose destroy or not romancing a character when I pick Control (Synthesis was reserved mostly to see the ending). I just can't do that to a character I like D: it's too cruel.

Tali's so sweet when she's all concerned about my Shep being single forever It's okay Tali. Shep's not gonna live much longer anyway lul. For all the problems of the ending, I kind of like the bittersweet feeling that is created when Shepard dies leaving the LI Behind. Expecially in my canon with Miranda and ParaControl. The only character I dislike enough to do that to is Kaidan. I did it to Steve once but then I felt like a super douchebag. I almost manged it with Liara but that's because I assumed she knocked herself up on Earth.

I agree Tali was totes into Femshep, but, uh, poly doesn't seem like the best idea for quarians. Unless they stay in their suits the whole time, I guess, but that would have a pretty small fanbase and also not really line up with the progression of the rest of her romance arc as written? Probably not but she was into it. I felt like the biggest downfall to romancing Garrus was that Tali would be alone. Same with Isabella and Merrill I felt a little guilty because they would be so cute together. I used to headcanon her with Reeger but then ME3 happened. *salt* I like to encourage them on my Sheps tho (dude Shep). Tali's so sweet when she's all concerned about my Shep being single forever It's okay Tali. Shep's not gonna live much longer anyway lul.

Nah Garrus should've been bi because his reason for going for Shepard is literally If It's You It's Okay. Like. come on now! Tali has the same issue. It's not like they expressed attraction to other members of Shep's gender. It's Shepard. Literally Shepard that they're flagging the OK for. And since Shepard and FemShep have no differences outside of gender it's like...so...why aren't you an option? Yep! Mordin was fine with saying he'd do male or female Shepard if he ever wanted to try it. It was because it's Shepard to him, not male or female Shepard. That always gets me. Especially Mordin's response to you saying he's yanking your chain. "Would never dream of mockery." Yeah sure Jan.

(I also think Bi Garrus and Bi Tali would've been pretty rad, especially since ME2 kind of shitcanned gay romances and hid Liara in DLC.) Shep's human is what I meant. As in they wouldn't go for a human but since it's Shepard it's suddenly fine. Fleet and Flotilla is a thing and also Tali's favorite video. (Turians and Quarians hooking up isn't strange they can at least eat the same food) Not to mention they can sleep with one another with much less risk. Also it takes them longer to get with one another than with Shepard. And that's with them being the only dextros aboard the Normandy and having been through ME1 to ME3 together.
