I don't remember this. Give some details to refresh my memory please?

awww so you only care for gay men representation? boo.

Sure will this decision respected. But this "small" group also has the right to complain and make the descision not to buy it. Espescially when it wasn't a problem in previous games.

Where's fisto when you need him? He doesn't care what six you are.

lolwut.....all sorts of implied things all over the place....sound like some people have perverted imaginations running in overdrive to make up things that aren't there. Seriously I'm all too happy not having to imagine perverted screwing that isn't there.....and I rather there be no screwing than all this nonsense.

As we've discussed, yes it was a problem.

Wait... there were romance options in New Vegas?

Also, pretty sure this has been covered... ya know, where Bethesda has released you can romance any of the human companions regardless of your characters gender.

I disagree because it was a shotgun wedding. Can happen to anyone regardless if hetero/gay/bi/... whatever.

You have no idea how dreadful it feels to go through entire games without once encountering something gay-related or even have a gay relationship, all the while being bombarded with hetero stuff at every freaking corner.

It would do you well to have some empathy.

Keep in mind Fallout is about a futuristic America based on the "1950s American Dream." That meant a white heterosixual couple with two children, two cars, a house, and a white picket fence. As you are probably well aware, open homosixuality was not tolerated nor accepted in 1950s America. Fallout is likely no different. Thus, you could easily roleplay a "closeted gay" if that was really the experience you were going for.

This reall makes a difference...why?....sounds like a stick poke from a troll

A shotgun wedding which occurs after you seduce and sleep with them. Again, you only get to [censored] the man if your a women and you only [censored] the women if your a man.

Yep and I don't want to imagine the circumstance the child was made... (it still works regardless, it's not heterocentric).

BUT WHY CAN'T I [censored] THE DOG??$%@&@^(

I rey think the marriage forced could add drama and complexity if game knowledge that. The character is romance x from same gender and then find your wife husband and talking about it. That will be a great way deal with the fixed background.

And you well to have some common-sense. Sorry bro but Bethesda wants to tell a plot about a guy, who was married, and his wife and son. If you want to hold out hope that they recorded some lines in there somewhere so your PC can claim that the whole thing was a sham because your a closet-gay then go ahead but it probably won't happen.

It's a shooting game, not a fetish game, so kill [censored] and have fun. It's not like the character's sixuality will even be relevant or brought up much anyway.

Exactly this. Since when is it ok to harass developers and insult them for not appeasing a fetish? Last I checked this isn't a pormo and even pormos are not required to put up with this kind of nonsense harassment. Nobody needs to pander to anyone they don't want to.

Oh riiiight, you mean the beast horned companion! Yes, yes, well, to be fair, Dragon Age didn't create this trend, they stole it from certain obscure Japanese "animes". But you know how video games has to bring new content every time, perhaps in Fallout 4 there will be other kind of porm. Perhaps Bethesda will bring a new evolution with YIFF or furry porm, and we will have the chance of mating with a very hairy woman caused by radiation mutation. They'll start gradually with a furry couple, then furry LGBT of various kind.

It must be weird to wake up every day obsessed with sixuality.

Nice "fetish game" put your fantasies back in your closest.

You automatically assumed I am siding with the original poster which when you read mine isn't true.

Yep "It's not like the character's sixuality will even be relevant or brought up much anyway." that's what I was going for.

Sadly with the start of the story this golden rule maybe broken. We will see.

Actually I was dead wrong, you can marry both regardless of gender. So there is a precedent.

However I would still say that this is a minor and easily skippable part. Bethesda have decided to tell this story and that's just the way it's got to be.

Totally agree and its not even that Bethesda hasn't included it, they said you can romance any human companion regardless of gender, but people are complaining for the sake of complaining.

I wasn't even responding to you with that post so good one m8

I am with you - all this will do is to get people to slam others for for their beliefs

Please lock this topic

I'd also like to point out that no game dev anywhere is obligated to cater to anybody for any specific thing. Sorry the world doesn't serve your every want and need, but that's the reality of it, as harsh as it sounds.

However, it is reasonable to assume that if a romance in a game is available and optional then the devs ahould make it open to thier homosixual fans, but they are not obligated to do so.

This doesn't make the devs racist, sixist, homophobic, etc. It makes them people who want to tell a story thier way.

It's called logic and critical thinking, people, try it sometime.
