Man with the new Iokath Theron is becoming my favorite romance I love my messed up relationships so much and he's hitting the bill so hard. Is there new stuff to it? I romanced him with my Inquisitor. Manipulated him the first time we met and tried to kill Satele, mwhahaha. Might have to play Swtor then, and re-sub, gah! Yeah a few nice scenes. :3 Iokath only needs you to be lvl 70. No need to resub.

There's more Theron romance in Iokath patch than the usual 2 new lines in chapters and that's it? Yeah but you have to side with the Empire. If you side with the Republic you get pretty much nothing. (Pub scum deserves nothing but there you go)

It has to do with industry perception being that a lot of guys wont want to play as a female character which we're kind of getting over a little bit now, but the new perception is that guys don't want to play a female character who enters into a romantic relationship with a male NPC. Basically we're slowly replacing "Don't have female PCs" with "Female PCs should just be guys with boobs" when it comes to fixed protagonist games. ...Man I'm not sure if I should be amused or just sad.

Those are just a few of the highlights. You probably are aware that TV Tropes has an entire page called "Bury Your Gays". Sure, there are plenty of stories where straight characters suffer and die, or lose their spouses. There are also many, many more where none of that happens. Throughout the entire history of media, gay characters appear very rarely and die frequently, I feel like you can't possibly be unaware of that fact. Death stories aren't always (or even often) gay stories, but gay stories are almost always death stories. Stuffed into the FridgeIs exactly what Carth Syndrome is. (especially since all of the wives were killed some antagonist they're looking for later.) I'm so sick and tired of people trying to claim Carth Syndrome is some gay elusive bullshiterry when it pretty much is a really stupid and borderline sexist trope reducing the male's past lover to a fucking motivator.

Going OT: I love, love Horizon. But I'm really starting to feel too much the "let's try not to upset the guys with a female protagonist". Aloy is a great character... but is completely, fakely, uninsterested in relationships. And not in a "I'm not interested" way. In a "let's ignore this angle of my personality to not upset the guys that are playng" way. Like, a character flirt with her? She doesn't even aknowledge it. Like rain in a river. It just slips away without a trace. Is something that really upset me: when I finally have great characters that happen to be females, they are stuck or with a hinted lesbian sexuality, or no sexuality at all. Maybe is because I haven't even finished the game...maybe something will change later... but I have this feeling. Nope it happens with straight female protagonists a lot. It's fucking weird.

When I learned he was written by a woman it's like ugh, I don't want to shame people for liking that but girl...seriously? Yeah it doesn't help that they both are just...out of a really shitty romance novel. If he was just a cheeseball and you could playfully mock him for it then I could roll with it because hey one person being the drama-llama in the relationship can be amusing. (Its why I so hardcore love logical/professional Sera and Liam. He's the goof and she's just like really? I need some balance in my cheese goddamnit because otherwise it's just ugh do not want). That and Liam knows when to balance his cheese with seriousness (least in the romance scenes).

Well, Jaal is tailor made for female players, at least what the devs thought women wanted. Doesn't always work, but doesn't change the fact that I know when I'm target audience, and when I am clearly not. Most romantic comedies are "chick flicks," doesn't mean other people can't enjoy them, doesn't mean I'm going to like them, but I know straight females are the target audience. Yeah I know he is, and I'm honestly surprised at how many straight girls like it because to me it was so cringy I kinda felt insulted that was what the devs thought "women wanted" before I knew how well received it was. The whole written-for-women thing just makes me mad in a lot of ways because people also used that to justify him being straight, as if no gay guy would want that, or it wouldn't work between two men. I am glad for people that enjoy it and different strokes for different folks and all that, I don't mean any offense to straight women that did like it - I was just surprised it was so popular because I cannot imagine ever finding that stuff sexy, lol. You and me both. I just get so confused when I see stuff like that because I just find it so gross and kind of condescending to be honest.

Because that's totes aokay for a female protag tho. (Sorry but that shit annoys the FUCK outt of me. Get this virginal bs outta here my girls like the D and they're not afraid to show it) You can sort of have a male virgin inquisitor he can tell bull "no one's ever done that to me before" i prefer the I WANT MORE option myself though To be fair you could easily have him referring to the BDSM rather than the boning.

So how is Scott when it comes to the romances involving him? Is he more like Sarah or more like Shepard? I think it actually varies more per romance option, tbh. I watched the Sara/Reyes and the Scott/Reyes romances and I'm pretty sure everything is exactly the same. Not really awkward at all for either. Neither "giggling virgins". Sara does that super awkward flirt with Suvi, though. It seems like they change depending on who you flirt with already, from what I've seen. Yeah Liam was free of that virginal girl bullshittery thank god. They boned, enjoyed it and then moved on like adults (with Liam being a little adorables afterwards).

Sure. In ME2 they were still going with: "Shepard is not gay! It's not gay that fem!shep is with Liara! Oh Kelly.. umm.." With DAI they were thinking of adding Cullen as m/m, but likely run out of time due to his romance being late addition (there was conflicting dev talk about this), besides there was still two male squadmates for m/m romance even without Cullen so not any way similar problem. If Sara can have invisible dick in romance scene with Peebee, I'm sure that BW could make Scott/Jaal work. Likely even better than Sara/Peebee if they really tried. Would be lot easier anyways than starting from the scratch with Drack, don't you think? That's not the point. Swapping models turns Scott into a shy and giggling boy who acts like a virgin (if you saw the sex scene) and would show full nudity. If they didn't do it with Gil, why would they do it with Jaal? No. They will chop it up and make a mess of it. If you look at how they wrote Gil and Reyes (he hardly counts since he was for Sara first) romance, you know Jaal was not going to end up for both. In fact I think once that lake scene was written, they knew it would never work because that's not how they do gay sex scenes in MEA. That's what the problem is. Jaal was written for Sara and the proof is in the scenes. They did try with Scott and decided it just didn't fit. Because that's totes aokay for a female protag tho. (Sorry but that shit annoys the FUCK outt of me. Get this virginal bs outta here my girls like the D and they're not afraid to show it)

Yeah I can tolerate Scott but Sara just aggravates me to my core. Which is a shame because it's one of the few times I actually enjoyed the female VA. To be fair to Scott I haven't done a full playthrough with him yet. Planning to with my next playthrough. What dialogue choices do you choose? Maybe that has something to do with it. I chose professional/logical. And she was fine until her default personality decided to rear it's hideous head for a few lines every so often and pretty much make me sigh.

Same. meanwhile I can't stand Ryder and ME3 Shep. Ryder, or at least Sarah Ryder, I actually like for the most part but that's because for the most part she matches how I wanted to play. Plus maybe the choices have an effect. That said there are still way too many assumptions Bioware has made about 'my' character to the point the Inquisitor easily beats them. As for Shepard, particularly ME2-ME3 Shepard, and Hawke, they are at the bottom of the pack for me. Yeah I can tolerate Scott but Sara just aggravates me to my core. Which is a shame because it's one of the few times I actually enjoyed the female VA.

I never found the Inquisitor bland. In fact, the Inquisitor is easily my favorite protagonist so far, at least of the modern Bioware protagonists. Same. meanwhile I can't stand Ryder and ME3 Shep.

Honestly the sex scenes were completely unnecessary and considering the lack of polish the rest of the game's animations got the devs should be embarrassed THAT's where they put their effort. Priorities.

I enjoyed Jack, but I wish I got to know her better in 2. I rejected her since I was saving Shepard for Kaidan, which locked me out of her progress. My Shepard was such a dick about it when rejecting her, I was confused if I accidentally played Renegade for a moment. She had every right to tell me to "fuck off" after my Shepard was such an ass rejecting her. Ye that was one issue with Jack tho, she doesn't develop as much if you don't romance her, Romancing her makes her a much better of acharacter (at least in my opnion). And I did reject Jack once, like jesus BroShep calm your tits down. See the issue with Jack is she has 2 rejections for some baffling reason. One of the rejections is harsh and the other is just "i'm not interested" and she doesn't tell you to fuck off after that one. The issue is the devs are morons and made one of the rejections pretty much "I don't wanna romance you YET" kind of thing so when you go to reject her again after that ticks on the romance flag Shep becomes a dick and Jack gets aggravated. It's really poorly handled.

But the pandering sexbot body was awesome! And sexy. Mostly sexy actually. Plus, Joker was always kind of gross to begin with so him developing a robot fetish made sense to me. I would love it Avitus in a future DLC suddenly becomes a robophile dates the turian ark's SAM. Bioware screws its gay fans once again in a creatively trollish fashion. Gross. I still can't believe it had a camel toe. Like really TIM? Yeah but it was mild grossness. It became super awkward grossness =/ Preferred ME2 ship EDI myself, never felt the urge to want to romance her in ME3. She irked me alot in ME3 actually but damn is her VA fine af tho. Same. Really doesn't help that she's one of the weakest people in combat either.

I don't know. I felt like him asking about you LI was a little creepier then EDI and Joker ever were. He wants to know your intentions for the relationship and describes experiencing your fathers love for your mother. It is a little Freudian and weird. After that conversation I just thought.. Please don't lock Vetra up on the ship somewhere. I mean ME:A kept bringing up how dangerous AI was and I was kind of expecting that element to show itself in the storyline with SAM. I don't really want it to tho... I like SAM or I should say I like the idea of being tied to a AI.I found that fine because since he was in Ryder's body he was experiencing it first hand and merely wanted clarification and was comparing it to the only experiences he had otherwise. Like a child asking why the couple's kissing. LMAO even if he did you really think she wouldn't manage to escape?

SAM thankfully hasn't caused any other characters to become a weirdo so he's already preferable.
