Extra Punctuation: Roleplaying Homosexual in Dragon Age 2
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw

I'm more curious on, why stop at just having one relationship? Isn't the main character usually the "chosen" one? Wouldn't the obvious solution be to have him/her breed with many to give birth to an army of "Children of the Chosen one"? Also, artificial insemination for those not interested in the opposite sex.
But than I'm just over analyzing the situation at this point.

One of the few great things about DA2 is the romances and relationships. That they are available for everyone of any orientation and gender allows for more freedom in creating a Hawke that is more your own person. Whether you want it to be someone like yourself or if you like roleplaying, there are options for you to choose from and have better variety in creating what YOU want. We lose nothing when we offer players more roleplaying choices.
That has be to one of the most enjoyable and reasonable things Yahtzee's written that i've had the pleasure of reading in quite a while - right up to the Tepig, you horrible person. YEAH SNIVY PRIDE!
Maybe because that's just your, and a few other haters, opinion on the game and not fact. Yahtzee will nit pick the faults in any games he reviews, even the ones he likes. Which is as it should be. But, he also has shown rarely, like today, that he can praise an aspect of a game he enjoys and respects, weather he loved the game or not.Spangles said:
You are entitled to love or hate any game you want to, but you can't criticize others for not having the same opinion as you.
If, in the course of cooking a Christmas dinner for your family - your children, your cousins, your grandparents in from Illinois, even your black sheep brother finally sober after years of struggling with addiction - at your restaurant, which you closed for the night to have the whole place to yourself to host for the occasion, you accidentally spill a bit of oil on one of the burners and it bursts into flame, rapidly spreads out of control and threatens to engulf the kitchen, if not the entire restaurant, and, upon reaching for the nearest fire response box, you discover that someone has written "GAY" across the PLEASE BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY glass in hot pink lipstick, I believe some gay-bashing is warranted in order to deal with the flaming issue at hand.honeybakedham said:When does anything ever warrant gay bashing?HankMan said:
But that's the only situation.
Wow, that was really stupid sounding. No offensive, I'm sure you're a real nice guy but you didn't even read my comment. I said the only reason I fight gays (with the occasional exception, like when a gay's annoying as fuck) is because some women might get the idea that you're gay. So I'm not proving it to my friends, genius. Ladies are my reason. And here in hickville we would actually be over-joyed if all the homosexuals left. Then we'd go and ride our pick-up trucks and shoot some shotguns. Unfortunately I don't live in this legendary "hickville". And fighting is not always a sign of weakness. People like you are usually the ones I end up fighting.SpiderJerusalem said:
Stop, look at the world around you and think before you type. You'll sound smarter.
You might do well to take your own advice and observe that you live in a world in which actively - violently, even - fighting against something can often be an indicator that you do in fact relate to the object of your visible dislike. For an example of this in action, observe politicians who make a huge show of how anti-homosexuality they are in their suggested legislation, their responses to media inquiry, etc., only to be later discovered in the company of a young male prostitute or in some similarly compromising position.jawakiller said:
In other words, getting into fights as an attempt to prove you're not gay? It's not very dependable as tactics go.
I haven't played DA:O or DA2 but for the record, I'd totally have my Manshep do Garrus in ME2 if the game permitted it. Garrus is easily the coolest and most interesting character.
My Manshep is loyal to Liara in ME2 solely for the fact that Miranda, Jack and Tali are all shit options and it makes no sense for me to go off with any of them.

That too.Timmehexas said:
And I really hate it when people pull that shit out. Liberals must secretly fantasize about Sarah Plain because they hate her. Israelis and Muslims also must actually love each other. Oh, and Nazis must have liked Jews which is why they killed them too... Yeah. That makes very little sense when put in other circumstances but as soon as its sexuality, it works. Why does everybody always assume the oddest things? I really don't get it.Shjade said:
I believe guys and girls go together great. Not guys with guys. Simple.
I think it's hilarious that there are still people that seem to believe that Dragon Age 2 was a horrible game and no one likes it.
The reality is that while, yes, it was a disappointment, it was a disappointment for a Bioware game, which still leaves it in probably the top 10% of games overall.
Everyone who thinks otherwise is part of an extremely loud, extremely annoying minority. If you want to hate the game, that's fine. Don't go around getting all butthurt because some of us actually like it though. That just makes you look stupid and judgmental.
