Imagine how Fox News might spin it this time...<br /><br />That said, my Shepard is a total stud, so the other dudes in the ME universe are missing out.

Even if Shephard was homosexual that wouldn't guarantee any relationship options. Both parties must consent. So I'd argue you could play as a gay Shephard, you just don't have any gay crew members. Or maybe they're bound under DADT.Zelazny7https://www.blogger.com/profile/08139828359217786604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-56913286026547925372010-02-11T23:33:28.786-08:002010-02-11T23:33:28.786-08:00God damn, sir, this is a rather awesome post. I wh...God damn, sir, this is a rather awesome post. I whole-heartedly support this sentiment and opinions surrounding it.<br /><br />As for Shepard, the truth is my personal opinion is that he should just be Shepard, that guy on the front of the box.<br /><br />Bioware have always said very specifically that mass effect is all about Shepard, and i do feel his character is in a lot of ways pre-defined.<br /><br />The series might as well be called the Shepard Chronicles or something.<br /><br />It's contradictory though to be able to shape his moral code but not his sexual code, so to speak.<br /><br />all or nothing, i say.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864751199946637740noreply@blogger.com
