I'm honestly always torn between "Giving party members specific sexualities is interesting and can do a lot of good storytelling in a lot of ways" and "Party members should all just be playersexual so that nobody ever feels left out"
@coriander i’m not upset that Mass Effect gave some party members specific sexualities but i am upset that they got Tali wrong
@Lady @coriander tali's definitely not straight, they just stopped writing her romance path with femshep halfway through
no idea why considering there are many other women in the game that femshep can date
@Lady @coriander i mean i say "halfway through"
but you get to tali outright saying "shepard you're the only person i'd trust to do the quarian analogue of sex with"
and then nothing happens and she has nothing more to say for the rest of the game
@coriander @Lady i guess! but she has no trouble romancing liara or kelly or samantha or diana or samara so???
@coriander @00dani f!shep is like “your health is more important :)” whereas m!shep is like “hnnnng”
@Lady @coriander wouldn't even bother me if femshep legit went "your health is more important :)" if it still counted as a romance path
cuz it doesn't, the game doesn't treat it that way and i am baffled
