Same-sex Relationships Mass Effect 3

[Soviet Heavy]

It's good that this is happening, but I don't think that it should mean ALL characters suddenly become bisexual. Sort of like with Aveline, where you can romance her up, but she will brush you off because she has other interests.

I mean, I don't want Garrus to suddenly turn gay for the sake of allowing same sex relations. It just isn't in his character, and it would be a poor copout for him to suddenly point out he's a bisexual.

It's not. There's been female-female homosexual relationships, but not male-male.

Yes, though technically no because Asari are mono-gendered. (it would make BroShep's relationship with Liara a bit gay/bi as well )

Good point. I don't get why there couldn't have been a lesbian option with Miranda and/or Jack..

Well man with Shepard rape-face avatar, it's most likely because BioWare was a little afraid to do something controversial after their partner, Visceral Games, did the whole sin-to-win thing. Or they could have been strapped for time. Either way is speculation, but bare in mind some homosexual dialogue for Shepard and Kaiden is still in ME classic, it just wasn't implemented fully. Maybe now BioWare is taking the extra time to fully flesh out the NPCs so you might have a bit more emotional response when they get brutally murdered in the bad ending because we didn't have the patience for the fucking resource mining minigame.

Sweet! I won't be going for same-sex relationships but it's nice to know they finally brought it in.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

they don't need gameplay, consistency nor plot when they have waifus

the fucking resource mining minigame.

Probably because of the subject of the thread, but I read that as "the fucking/resource mining minigame."

Which would at least be an interesting way to gather resources.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

This is great news for some I guess. Not for me. My Default Shepard is with Tali. My Femshep is with Garrus. It will STAY that way....

Now Ashley can be racist and homophobic.

You say that like it's a bad thing, I know she'll be the one I'm riding at the end.

technically its not even that given the way there species is

While that's true about the Asari, females Shepards could also romance Kelly Chambers the yeoman in mass effect 2.

that's true so I'll give you that one

You know, I think Shepherd's had enough loving. Could we maybe skip the romance options altogether this time and focus all our hopes on it not being a let-down?

I didn't even know that Mass Effect was purely heterosexual, although it is nice to see that it is expanding for a wider audience.
Although I feel like if the relationship dialogue is anywhere similar to Dragon Age 2's, homophobes are going to be all up in arms about it.

I think that's why he's put the "reactive" part in. The problem in DA2 was not so much that they were gay but that the gay characters jumped you for no reason and then got pissy when you told they you were only really into the opposite sex. I think he means that you'll need to initiate the romance yourself.

I hope you're right. And I hope it applies to hetero relationships as well. In ME2 it was kind of annoying having to swat away women all the time (my mShep was trying to be loyal to Liara).

 

[Johnson294]

Mass Effect 2 already has that, you can have sex with Kelly Chambers (the best romance option IMO) as either sex.

Maybe BioWare will take Yahtzee seriously and make a minigame where Commander Shepard extracts resources from the throats of alien hotties.
...that's an interesting image. I wonder how much palladium an Asari can hide in her mouth...

No it isn't.

This makes me rage and facepalm at the same time. Asari are monogendered so technically it's not lesbian? Come off it! Liara is a woman with blue skin and a funky hairdo. There's nothing remotely monogendered about the Asari.

 

[Nickompoop]

Technically it's been like that since ME1, but only for a female Shepard, and only if you romance an asari.

Ever seen a male asari?

 

[aether-x3]

Hmm. I might actually consider making a Male Shepard now.

there one gender so technically it can't be lesbian

 

[SageRuffin]

Wait... does this mean my FemShep can finally hook up with Ashley?

Oh joy of joys!
