I think Sera is bad mainly because her humor is way too much of the Whedon-lite poo poo that has infected Bioware since at least DA:O. The poo poo you actually mentioned was what I liked about her, I like characters that actually confront the PC's worldview and motivations.

Alain Post posted:The issue isn't really with that single portrayal, it's more about the limited roles gay/queer characters are "allowed" to play in fiction. It's a systemic problem, but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to roll my eyes every time it still pops up. Right, which is why I said I basically agree with your general point.  I'm bisexual (well, pansexual technically) and I absolutely loving hate that "bisexual" is usually just code for "horny af".

I mean, most of the time, yeah, but Garrus's ME2 romance only had one point to start, and his default even if you started hinting was assuming that Shepard just wanted to spar after his little story about sparring and banging.

But then you get Hawke-sexual which everybody seemed to hate in DA2 even though most Bioware players actually want it. Maybe we'll be able to romance a Hanar in the ME:A DLC.

No, I remember the person, I just don't remember it being trans at all. Which, I guess is a good thing? I just thought of it as a buff woman trying to be in a group of pretty masculine men and it's hard to be a woman in that kind of company. At no point did I think it was a transgender female to male. 100% female. Edit: Of course, I really don't care about this thing at all. I thought it was a pretty good character, honestly.

Seriously though: The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > ME: Andromeda - Sexuality's a spectrum, not a colecovision Alain Post posted:e) Sera, despite having the worst sense of humor in Bioware history, which is a loving accomplishment, is actually a good counterpoint here, she's a lesbian but always comes across as a person with their own (stupid) motivations that frequently put her in opposition to the player. which is exactly the kind of interesting role that gay people don't really get to play that often, because the writer decides to do something "important" and have them die of a fatal case of intolerance Yeah Sera was decent, with better voice direction (I didn't really mind the accent on its own) and slightly better script she would have been S Tier Companion. Her banter with the others was great though, especially Blackwall and Solas. Sombrerotron posted:What's your view on the transgender character in Iron Bull's crew? I forget his name, but aside from his gender being brought up at all I thought he was well-treated by the script. Couldn't you ask them about their gender and then have them tell you off for being an insensitive rear end in a top hat? Honestly can't remember if that was written well or eyerolly
