also lol @ how bioware refused to ever make any of the male characters people actually like gay/bi and instead introduced that one guy that absolutely no one likes just to say there was a gay option

it is probably true that gamers would riot if garrus, space batman, could be homo but idk if the same was true of thane

this is Dorian erasure

Honestly I like Steve but uh having his whole romance being him rebounding with Shepard like two weeks after his husband was brutally killed was dumb as hell.

they absolutely had to brainstorm ideas about how to communicate to the player that steve was gay as fast as they could and they settled on "he's sad... because his husband... died?"

also they did make Kaidan bi in 3 but i guess that also falls into "not a character anyone actually liked"

Dorian is cool but I wish he had more of a questline than just dealing with his estranged family. A little too.. real life problems for my taste

I really dislike how in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games all of the party members think the main character is the best poo poo since sliced bread after like two conversations tops. There's little to no interpersonal drama or opportunity to gently caress things up and make people dislike you, other than a couple of Big Important Story Choices like with Wrex etc. You're just The Protagonist and so everyone likes you by default. I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 yet but I have heard it's similar in that respect.

Yo-Kai Watch is an extremely underrated jrpg, the trick is not to approach it as a pokemon clone, but as a really dense little open city to explore, ala Yakuza for 7 year olds. It rules. The critters are good too.
