Same-sex Relationships Mass Effect 3

[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....

 

[Xan Krieger]

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.

I didn't even know that Mass Effect was purely heterosexual

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

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!

 

[Boaal]

OOooh man the fundamentalists are going to loooove this.
I can hear the west-borough baptists screeching already...

 

[Frozengale]

FemShep + Kasumi or Tali

That's all I want. I've been FemShep with Liara for the other games but I don't like Liara as much as Kasumi or Tali.

I just hope they remove the "any potential love interest will start hitting on if you talk to them enough no matter what you do short of being a total asshole." Seriously, I thought I was clear to Jack I was not interested and yet she still later told me I had no chance with her unless I broke it off with Tali. I also hope some characters cannot be same sex romanced and some cannot be opposite sex romanced. Not everyone is Bi after all, except for Asari of course.

Mono meaning singular
Gender referring to the Sexual Organs of a given individual
All Asari have the same Sexual Organs, their race is monogendered.
They may all resemble woman, and they all may refer to themselves as woman but that doesn't change the fact that they as a species are all the same gender. Making your point invalid.

 

[Findlebob]

Bout time, they do that and id buy it.

Yeah no kidding. I felt like I was navigating a mine field every time I started to talk to Jacob. I start talking to him and suddenly I have 3 conversation choices and all of them point to me hitting on him... I'm just like... uh what?!

And I would imagine that some characters would be very firm in their sexuality. I would think Garrus would be a Women only and Jack a Guy only, especially since Jack specifically states in ME2 that she has no interest in getting it on with a girl.
