There should be an option for him to take care of himself.

"Don't come in, I'm scanning planets!"

awesomw soft gayporn in video games

Mass Effect?  More like Gay Effect.  Amirite?

 There should be an option for him to take care of himself. "Don't come in, I'm scanning planets!"

My only problem with this, is why Bioware all of a sudden feels like there needs to be "gayness" in everything they do now. I mean, not every movie out there has a gay main character, or even a gay side character. Sometimes a movie comes out where there is no homosexuality in it whatsoever. Sometimes a movie comes out that's all about homosexuality. At times it has both, other times it has neither.
Point being, not everything has to have homosexuality, and I'm not sure why Bioware thinks it does. They must have higher ups that are gay or something, right? Or they are being paid gobs of money by GLAAD to look like they support gays.

The other ridiculous thing is the fact that all of a sudden Shepherd is gay? We go through two lengthy games where he shows no signs of homosexuality, and in fact is a lot like a "Han Solo" type character that is lovin the ladies. Yet all of a sudden in Mass Effect 3 there are going to be people that come along that make him want to be gay? I mean come on people...

That's hot.

i dont want gay people hitting on me when walking down the street doing my thing

I hope they accurately record the sound of 4 Krogan testicals slapping Shepard's ass.

I'm by no means a homophobe, but I really hope they do this better than it was in Dragon Age 2It was SO ANNOYING when I'm trying to be friendly to Anders and suddenly LOL LETS FUCK.

Jacob.  I always did want to smash his back airlock in.

Chill the fuck out gamers. This is not something you should care about.

*crosses fingers for m/m Kaiden fling*

I always knew space was Fierce!  :)

Fem Shep and Samara mmmmmm. I'm down.

That Krogan's had it coming to him.

Hey people, don't like it? Then don't buy it! Then you can blame your homophobia for missing out on playing a great game.

Joker?

My female characters have always been able to pursue love interests with female NPCs. I suppose it's a double standard if 2 males can't have a fictitious in game relationship too.

Lets hope my Fem-Shep gets more options than boring cadet Jacob, Garrus or Thane who I had to take as a consolation cause I stuffed up on dialogue option in the beginning. No same sex for me personally though, but good for you if that's what you're craving!

"B-b-but what if I get hit on by a man?" 

People complained about this? That's a little ridiculous. Not that I mind this, nor should anyone because you can simply ignore it if you want to, but it seems a little stupid that people complained about this.

I hope they accurately record the sound of 4 Krogan testicals slapping Shepard's ass.

Why is "finally" in the title of the story?  You are somehow implying that EVERYONE was calling for this change?

Perspective: A few decades ago there would have been an outcry about Jacob being a love interest.

Gay space elves, here I come!

Could not care less either way, because clearly the issue we should all care about is whether Bioware will finally wise up and stop having crew members wear their battle armour around the ship every day.  Shepard doesn't do it, so take a few hours of dev time and give everyone actual clothes to wear when you walk around your ship.  Just sayin.

Why is this newsworthy?

@Brendan: 

Nuh uh. The REAL issue is giving us an option to wear helmets that DON'T APPEAR DURING CUTSCENES.

"FemShep, I feel such closeness to you when I look into the glowy eyes of your Limited Collector's Edition Collector Helmet."

Can't say I care too much. I don't mind it, but a part of me just thinks this is mere pandering to the whingy gits at the Bioware Social Forums who think that a true roleplaying experience means that you have the ability to hump everything in the galaxy up to the Reapers.

Just so long as it isn't as ridiculous as it was in Dragon Age 2. If you said anything vaguely supportive to Anders he assumed you were inviting him to the pants party. Understanding/positive dialogue options do not automatically equate to a chat up line.

Finally. My only hope is that Jack & Liara are still on the party so they can blame themselves for Sheppard suddenly switching teams.

Shepard.

Just wish I could keep all my guns for the 3rd one...and by the look of this pic, seems like it's possible?

im glad they have done this, but i really hope they make a way of being nice to someone without suddenly flirting. the way male- female relationships are shown in game is kinda disturbing and if every relationship is going to be like that it would be a shame.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST JUST MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY AND MAKE SEXUAL PREFERENCE A CHOICE AT THE BEGINNING WHEN YOURE BUILDING YOUR CHARACTER. CHICKS DUDES BOTH OR NEITHER

AND YEAH CALL ME A HOMOPHOBE YOU FUCKING PC BITCHES BUT IN DRAGON AGE 2 I HAD ANDERS COMING ONTO ME LIKE BOGS FUCKING DIAMOND FROM SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION AND THAT BULLSHIT PUT ME OFF HIS CHARACTER ALTOGETHER

"A consistent source of criticism"? Really?

Are all games now expected to feature homosexuality as a matter of course? If so, why? No, listen. Why?

This better not be what they delayed Mass Effect 3 for.
