Are we still talking about Anders? Look, I won't say DA2 was flawless, but that dialogue choice rang true for me. That is, if you rebuff someone's advances they are liable to be a little put out about it! It's tough to put yourself out there by showing attraction and get knocked back. Ten bloody rivalry points - you can still have full friendship before half way through act 2 without hardly trying! Besides, Anders does the same thing - with the same result - to F!Hawke.verdant monkai said:Let me just get this out of the way "I AM CLEVER AT VIDEO GAMES".
Any way my complaint with gayness in ME3 was that it was too late in the series, Jim said that you could choose to be gay or not. If this is the case than that is absolutely fine.
Shepard is an avatar for you in the Mass effect story, and if you are gay so is your Shepard.
HOWEVER in Dragon Age 2 another Bioware game which is basically fantasy, mass effect now. When a character started to flirt with Hawke in a gay way I was given three options. Two of which were options to reciprocate the flirt and act gay. The other was something along the lines of F*CK OFF I AM NOT GAY. Which would have upset the character, and given me rivalry points which I didn't want.
There NEEDS to be a neutral option here so you can say something like "I am flattered but no thank you". So NO I am not Homophobic and pedophilia is not something that should be compared to gay sex, pedophilia is an act of evil, gay sex is a matter of free will and choice.
There is another dialogue option - you can see the whole thing off at the pass earlier in the same conversation by saying that being posessed by a demon is creepy, for even less rivalry.
