Same-sex Relationships Mass Effect 3

[Epic Fail 1977]

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.

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.

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).

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.

Ah, I think I see now. In that case, my bad and well done.

Lovely news. Thanks for sharing.
Personally, I do hope it's new characters (also has fingers crossed for actually gay characters a la New Vegas). I love the old characters, but if they wanted to sleep with my Shep, they probably would have said so already and not randomly turn to me years after meeting me and go "Yeah. I can try that now." xD
And I don't want the messing with personalities that are already quite well done.

I second this, but given the amount of people begging for male/male romances with Garrus I suspect Bioware will cave in and give those fans what they want.

I see Garrus as more of a "bro" than a "bromance" so I just hope they handle things in such a way that both sides can be happy.

Well that's good news, though I'm pretty sure I'll just stick with Liara, for both of my characters.

 

[gyllybug]

Same reason I was annoyed when Anders suddenly became gay.

I was disappointed he wasn't bi in the first place! I had always assumed he was, he had the perfect personality for it. Hell, he never denied it so maybe he was?

That said, Bioware did completely fuck up my adorable, funny, happy-go-lucky Anders for DA2 anyway, why not change his sexuality too? -.-

 

[gyllybug]

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.

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?

Ah, Kelly <3 I loved that she was romancible, so many cheesy chat-up lines to be found in dialogues with her.

We'll have to wait and see. To be honest, the Garrus / femShep romance was totally awkward to me, like teens trying to get it on for the first time. Did you imagine it would be like that? I can easily picture broShep with Kaidan, but if that becomes an option, it might turn out way different. And I love BioWare for what they have done so far, the diversity in connections and conversations. I trust them completely that they can do even better with more options and complexity.

Sorry Bioware you can't win this one, Behold!

> Only hetero relationships - People Baww (why can't I gay it up?)

> Everybody is bisexual, both homo and hetero relationships possible - People Baww (Thats just not likely!)

> Only some characters are homosexual and, to be in line with likelihood, this means only 1 or two romancable characters will be gay - People will BAWWWWW (What?! My fem shep can't get it on with Tali? What?! My male shep can't hump Garrus? What?! My only available option is Jack for lesbian or Jacob for gay?)

No matter what Bioware do, people will whine. For either being too liberal, not liberal enough, or not managing some impossible middle ground where everyone gets the relationship options they want without making them all bisexual.

The solution? Make everyone find Shepard ugly as fuck.

A simple fix.At the character creation screen have a sexual preference option.Let people choose how they want to role and any of the other options just wont show up in dialog.

Homosexual Romance options on Mass Effect 3?

Heavy Risk if DA 2 was any indication, but the Priiiizzzee...

 

[MindBullets]

*applause*

Woo! Progressiveness!

 

[high_castle]

It only took us 3 games to get there, but I'm happy to see this included this time around. ME3's been making me a bit nervous recently with some of the announcements about it. It's nice to get some good news for a change.

 

[Shirokurou]

-facepalm-
Poor Kaiden...
I guess all the Dragon Age gayness rubbed off on ME.

Not that there's anything wrong with that... But come on...

 

[Ravnican]

As long as they're not "By the way I'm totally bisexual, you know?" like in Dragon Age 2 I'll be happy. Having them all as romance options wasn't a bad move, but it wasn't well implemented.

 

[zHellas]

I wonder who male Shep is going to be able to shack up with then. Having gone through ME2 without picking a relationship, this could be a viable option for me in the third game.

Maybe Garrus? Nah. Maybe that new guy. Adrian or whatever his name was.

 

[Undeadenemy]

Great, they made like 6 people happy and alienated 6,000. Good going there.

 

[Peteron]

So? There was some in the previous game wasn't there? If anything this is expected.

 

[Bootscooper]

Jack better be an option. I'd ditch Thane in a second for Jack.

I think it'd make sense for Jack to be bi. She mentions having sex with a girl at least once in the game. She does reject you if you're a woman and try to get closer, but still. . .

 

[Bootscooper]

Double post, sorry. Guess I'll mention that I'm glad they did this, I don't think they should have ignored it in the first two games (Kelly doesn't really count, and neither does Liara technically).

 

[Free Thinker]

As long as they don't Dragon Age 2 this thing, it'll be fine. Like Anders enjoying a fine woman and going out of his way for women, then becoming bisexual instantly. Yup. I totally buy that Bioware. If you mess this up and ruin Tali, Garrus, or any of the already awesome characters, I will hunt you down...and eat your cookies.

I'm hoping for anyone but Jack to be honest. In mainstream media the 'lesbian chick' is usually also the 'crazy/psycho chick', so Jack would be another one of those I'm afraid.
