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. 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.
It took multiple playthroughs of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 for me to learn exactly when to be ls than iendly to female characters to be sure my gay Shepard’s tentns were never misterpreted.
