Same-sex Relationships Mass Effect 3

[Gralian]

Well, good for homosexuals i guess. It won't impact me in any way, but at least it gives players more choice in who they shack up with, and i'm all for more choice.

 

[Fanboy]

I'm in the same boat as most people here; Cautiously optimistic. I am completely open to including homosexual relationship options so long as they don't change established characters.

Of the existing characters, I couldn't see any of them becoming suddenly attracted to the opposite sex, except maybe Jack. Then again, Commander Shepard is so awesome I'm sure there are plenty of straight individuals who would go gay for him/her.

I've never played the ME games (well i'm at the start of the first one) but I always thought it was always a part of it when I saw this video a while back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrMMOteSqOE

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.

If you go on YouTube, you can see dummied romantic dialogue (and the love scene) with Kaiden and Ashley as same sex partners. Its accessible in the PC version only so far as I know.

All I really care about, so to speak, is that I can get some kind of continuation (after the very heart warming reconnecting) of my relationship with Liara. BioWare has this power over me, I pretty much fell in love with Merrill in DA2 as soon as I met her, and it was the same with Liara.

Come on BioWare, Fem!Shep/Liara OTP, show us the love.

Ninja'd. It will have exactly the same dialogue as fisto in Fallout New Vegas.

"Sex organs are a structural weakness. The Geth do not use them."

well said.

there one gender so technically it can't be lesbian

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.

Seriously, if you have to go to such lengths to convince yourself that you're not acting out a lesbian relationship...

I never said it wasn't Lesbian. I just said that saying they aren't monogendered isn't true, since they clearly are. You said there isn't nothing monogendered about Asari, which is very much false.

Oh, you mean you were just trolling. Sorry, I mistook you for someone making a point.

If this site had signatures, this would be mine.

Excellent! I thought femShep should lez out with Miranda or Tali for some time now. However,I hate to say it, but to make it believable that male Shepard would so much as consider a roll in the space hay with Jacob, they need to improve his dance animations. There is just no way a dude who dances like Shepard is even a little bit bicurious.

Oh, you mean you were just trolling. Sorry, I mistook you for someone making a point.

How is that trolling? Because I proved you wrong? You presented an argument. I presented a counter-argument with facts. I thought I was nice about the whole thing also. If this is trolling I still have much to learn about the Interwebs.

 

[Vrach]

Wasn't this always the case? Granted, I didn't see a lot of same sex options with my female Shephard in Mass Effect 2, but I think there was the option to have a fling with the psychiatrist chick who keeps an eye on your crew/mail.

Oh well, good to hear anyway, the more options the better

Casey Hudson of BioWare just tweeted this:

Happy to confirm #ME3 supports wider options for love interests incl. same-sex for m&f chars, reactive to how you interact w/them in-game.


Finally! I'm so happy with this news, needed to share it!

Its about time

I am now happy, thank you bioware

This.

Yay! My dream of FemShep/Tali will finally be a possibility! ^^

Or maybe Garrus/MaleShep, just for fun. ^^

No, it means you are that dense. What he means is that the Asari are a monogendered species because there are only female Asari. If what you are arguing is sexual orientation, then Asari would all be considered pansexual. A pansexual, monogendered species.

Get it now?

 

[PatSilverFox]

I'm coming Kaden...

 

[PatSilverFox]

As long as Shepard gets the top bunk - I'm all for it!

How about bottom *winks*
If there was that level of interaction with the characters then... well nevermind it might as well be an interactive porno >.<
Unless you made some kind of decisions in the game that made you seem more dominant or whatever.
Yeah right >.>

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 couldn't your female shep have a romance with the cerberus woman...not Miranda but the other one I can' think of her name...Kelly maybe?

Did you actually read my post? I "presented an argument" (your words) that the relationship was a lesbian one. You "presented a counter-argument" which, by your own admission, had nothing to do with whether the relationship was lesbian. And now you claim that this "proves me wrong" in my original assertion that the relationship is lesbian? Maybe you should work out what it is you're trying to say/prove, assuming you're trying to say something and not just being argumentative (trolling).

That was a hack.

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.

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.

Actually, she says the exact opposite. During her stories, she shares two or three accounts of girl love.

Really? I guess I wasn't paying attention. I just know she shoots you down and says she isn't interested.

Well, I'm only halfway through my playthrough of a FemShep, so I haven't gotten much time with her, but I know from my experiences as a dude she says a couple of times that she's had sex with women.

Did you read your own post? you specifically said in there that there was nothing about the Asari that made them monogendered. Guess what basic logic would say otherwise which I pointed out to you. And even if all I'm trying to say is that you are wrong about the monogendered you are using it as a basis for your other argument, if I disprove your base argument I disprove it as a whole, meaning that you need to find new ground to stand on. In the end you may be right about it being a lesbian relation but you have to use the correct logic and facts to get to that decision. If someone proves you wrong then find another route to prove your argument valid, don't go saying someone is a troll just because you don't wish to use basic logic in your statements.

So was this their way of opening up the ME universe to a bigger audience?If it isn't broke don't fix it.I see no reason to add this in a already established game.They sure are pulling out all the stops to be PC.

I do recall one time I was playing ME when I, a male Shepard started hitting on Keiden.He shut me down quick.I recall thinking well that what kinda neat.Just like Ashley wasn't into a threesome with Learia.These are character trites that round out the characters.So now Ashley will be open to a female Shapard? Keiden will now be ready to take it up the chocolate wizway?Why to retcon homosexuality into characters story lines.

Well as long as they don't treat me like a asshole for turning them down I don't care.I'll be putting it into Ashely.Been saving myself since mass effect 1 for her!
