LOL, good for Bioware, but have they had complaints yet that there isn't enough inter-species romance? How many elves do you get it on with?

Seems there are only 5 possible romances, so someone's losing out.

the gay complaints are valid; the most difficult aspect of dragon age 2 is not accidentally having gay sex. it's THAT prevalent...

> accidentally having gay sex.

I'm not doubting it is prevalent, but I wonder how many gamers have used that excuse when their other half has "walked in on them"?

"It was an accident darling", "No no no of course I dont fancy men!", "Of couse you are all I want" etc.

Not likely - it's pretty subtle. If you were walked in on, it probably wouldn't be noticed.

I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

Is this the same person who wrote a doctoral thesis on one of the Castlevania games for the GBA?

I wonder how the same guy would react if the blood and gore were to be taken out of his favorite game.

Whenever there is someone to complain about video game violence, the come back is always that it's "just fantasy" or "make believe" pixels that represent blood.

The same argument could be said for what he's complaining about. It's just fantasy, make believe.

I'm glad the game company had the response that they did.

Now there is a justifiable complaint. If "Straight Male Gamer" were to complain that it was actually difficult to avoid gay sex in the game, more people might side with him.

I still gotta go with 'Get over it'. Mainly because Straight Male Gamer would probably be playing the 'evil' path and not have gotten that particular scene. (Judging by the 'I'm offended at all the gay in this story', he's probably not gonna go for the kittens and sunshine character)

What's he complaining about? At least it's a human(elf) male, and not a three penised moblin or something equally disturbing...
