A brilliant man, never romancing Traynor made me like her as a character! Of course, when she came on to me in the second dialogue section or so it was weird because Garrus is my hubbie apparently, because I accidentally all of his romance in ME2. Playing female Shepherd was weird, because at one point in the story lesbians were parading around in my quarters trying to bang me. First Traynor comes in and steals the shower with the obligatory shower scene while I keep dutifully ignoring her, then the reporter chick comes in and parades about wanting to dig for gold in my vagina although I had no interaction with her what so ever. At least Garrus came in at one point and DIDN'T act like he had gone into heat.
So yeah, lesbian writing was done really well! Except all of the lesbian parts. My first and only reaction the characters craving my Shepherd's pie like hound dogs was "Oh yes, there's the lesbians included for the sole purpose of making me, as what I assume must be a 14 year old sexually repressed male, so interested in the possibility of mammaries that I will go to the store and buy this game." Protip guys, if you can't identify with the character you are writing, don't fucking write it. Traynor could have been a quirky character that happened to be gay, she was a gay character who happened to be quirky. The reporter could have been dubbed "Fanservice McBooby" for all the good she did. Fetch me the gay elf of Dragon Age! From what I can remember between the notion I had a queer, oiled-up elf in my party and "tapping that" I thought it was done well!
Yes, I am still bitter that I couldn't french Mordin at his last scene.
