THANK YOU BWARE FOR GIVG MY GAY ASS A HEART IN TO FLIRT WH

"Dorian is gay — he is, fact, the first fully gay character I've had the opportuny to wre, " wrote Gair.

While the pany is known for s progrsive stance on sexualy gam, BWare has prevly only ever troduced one exclively gay male non-party member — Mass Effect 3's Steve Cortez. BWare's early Star Wars enavor, Knights of the Old Republic, clud one gay female party member, Juhani; However, her relatnship wh female players was mimal.

BWARE TRODUC OPENLY GAY CHARACTER DRAGON AGE: INQUISN VIO GAME

But as a gay man who had trouble navigatg gam like the Mass Effect trilogy due to a liberate lack of this transparency, I’ve e to appreciate the certaty that wh havg romantic optns clearly labeled as such. To exist as a gay man Mass Effect is an act of nstant vigilance and phg back agast the game that wants you to be a heterosexual relatnship. Whether by actively nyg you any gay romance optns until Mass Effect 3, or by sistence that so many women were terted protagonist Commanr Shepard if you’re even remotely pole to them.
