MASS EFFECT: LEGENDARY EDN IS A CHANCE TO MAKE AMENDS WH GAY MEN
Mass Effect: Legendary Edn is an opportuny to rrect one of the seri' greatt failur: a lack of gay romance. * kaidan alenko gay romance *
But that’s bee Commanr Shepard wasn’t allowed to be a gay man until Mass Effect 3, where Bware fally cid to allow such a thg, retnng Kaidan to a bisexual man, and also cludg Steve Cortez, a gay shuttle pilot who Shepard uld also pursue.
Part of me stggl wh the notn of fixg Mass Effect’s needls omissn of gay romance, jt bee I have bee so attached to that angst-driven dynamic.
As for gay maleKaidanCortez As for gay female TraynorLiara- I know mono genr but hey she got a woman's voice and boobi so close enough? Comg to Bware’s recent release of s beloved sci-fi saga Mass Effect Mass Effect: Legendary Edn, I knew that I wanted to re-experience the vio gam’ journey a way I had tried and failed to as a young teenager: to st my Commanr Shepard as a proud, gay man. And so, here was my gay ass, nonted by a challenge: ignore Mass Effect’s ph to have you hook up wh one (or more) of your squadmat over the urse of the first two gam, until I uld pursue Kaidan as a romantic optn Mass Effect 3.

To play Mass Effect as a story where Commanr Shepard is explicly a gay, male hero is not jt to play the wag game, but to ph back agast the seri’ almost nstant heterosexual asslt on your sens.
And now my Shepard, up to that pot gay only my ternal roleplay of the character, was gog to be gay textually, too. Dpe Liara beg an optn for both male and female Shepard, no such optn was offered to gay men throughout the first and send game.
MASS EFFECT ROMANC, BY THE NUMBERS: HOW GAY MAL HAVE BEEN SHAFTED
This was particularly difficult to prehend as active ers on the old BWare fom had asked for Kaidan to be an optn for gay Shepard. The patience of gay players was fally reward Mass Effect 3, wh both Steve Cortez and Kaidan Alenko beg optns for a gay, male Shepard.
Straight, male Shepards still won out at the end of the last game, but the Shepard and Kaidan gay romance was touchg and heartfelt ways that I hadn’t expected om a seri that refed to take what fans wanted serly.
