So I know I bitched a ton and said I wasn't going to buy this game because of the DLC issue, but I've been super impressed with how they care catering to female fans with a femshep CG trailer and an alternative femshep game cover you can switch to.

More companies need to do stuff like that, so I want to support it.

Buying a video game should not have so many moral dilemma's associated with it!

That's the problem I had with books. Too many things were too static. Same with movies, and older Genesis games. I wanted Annie Skywalker, and Earthworm Jane, damnit! Don't even get me started on Vectorwoman. My NHL 12/MLB 12 game would also be better if it included women's hockey, and softball. Equality across the board! Woo!

I don't even know what point you're making, but I'm pretty sure it's stupid.

It has nothing to do with equality, it has to do with making games more open to women instead of being a boys only club.

Minorities and gays...

Video game is a very inclusion group right now, but yeah BioWare actually does go a long way in fixing that with stuff like this and Dragon Age, but some of the push back from the community is always baffling.

I guess if you want to take me seriously, sure.

I was mostly jokingly focusing on this:

"Buying a video game should not have so many moral dilemma's associated with it!"

To refer to the lack of female characters on a cover of a franchise's games a 'Moral Dilemma' just seems silly to me, so I decided to kill some time on it (while I wait for my tea to steep. Kinda like now.) It's just a cover. To say "More games need to do this", just seems like you should strike up equality on all media platforms. Why should gender-equality in the story, and on the cover stop at games. Take that bitch to movies, and books. "I want Indiana Jane, too. what about those females that want to watch Indiana Jones, but don't like how it's centred on a man." What about all those Women who would have easier connected with the book if Frodo was Frieda.

Just seems silly.

Was just joshin' anyhow.




Anyways, to you jerks who have it - how is it compared to the other ME games.

How so.
You need to sell me on this game, Adam.
Your pitch will make or break if I purchase, and enjoy this masterful creation or not.
