Are you talking about the guard at Lizzie's front door, or the roof?
Well, I was thinking more of the more satisfying romances (IMHO), which are Ashley, Liara, Kaidan and the ME2 romances IN ME2, not the fucked up ones like Jacob and Thane. It's an undeniable fact that Bioware didn't include gay male nor proper lesbian romance till ME3, for all its faults Cyberpunk at least never did that.

I kinda think gay men got better served in ME3 tho, whereas lesbians have better romance options in CP2077 (Judy). So, while I agree CDPR has better writing, I think its more complicated than that
And as far as straight male romances go, The Witcher takes the crown, of course
Technically all non-straight Bioware romances exist to check boxes... that's just the way they are, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. I didn't count Liara as a true lesbian romance because she's of an all female all bi alien race, but the truth is, she really looks like a woman and was available since the begining. I didn't know Cortez had more content than Traynor, but either way, it does suck that they aren't party members. It would have been better if they weren't romances and instead introduce a new human female squadmate as a f/f romance.
I can tell you that I don't care about BioWare romances anymore, but lots of lesbians do care that Judy is in fact a lesbian. Not bi, not pan. A lesbian. It means the world to us and just because it's "whatever" to you with Liara/Kaidan, that doesn't mean it's "whatever" to every other being on this planet.
That I can understand. I personally prefer straight women, and don't consider myself intolerant because of my preference. We like what we like and don't really choose it. Judy and Panam were quite satisfying romances... but there could've been more than 1 option (as well as dedicate more time to the male ones as well, because many have said they lack the same amount of content). I mean, in The Witcher it feels like we have a whole lot of options and we play as a pre-established character. It stands to reason that a custom character RPG should have not less but the same or more
But in The Witcher you've played only as a Geralt - a male. So it was male-centric romances after all. So the compassion with Witcher series is not a good one here imo.
Since Bioware doesn't seem to be, why not? Its the only other CDPR title, which was very obviously a much more polished game. Geralt has 3 romances available (Keira, Yen and Triss) not counting the one night stands and prostitutes, and that in a Medieval setting. Why only 1 option per gender in a crazy future dystopia in which almost anything is possible?
Why not?
You have much less actually. Sure, you can be both genders and orientations, but only one possibility for each one, and if you don't like it, you're screwed
. ME3 was better in that regard (except for straight females, God knows why they did that).
And I don't see a problem with that. Sorry.You have much less actually. Sure, you can be both genders and orientations, but only one possibility for each one, and if you don't like it, you're screwed
I'll stick to playing as good old Geralt, if that's the way things go
No need to be sorry, it's ok to have different opinions
