Man what does it say when I prefer the characters pre-gaze and I'm a heterosexual male
Seriously, tomboys and independent women who don't dress ridiculously and who engage in intelligent conversations, they are hot

Man, what I remember of Ashley from ME1 was a strong woman who won't take bullshit from anyone, but if you save her SUDDENLY SEXUAL TENSION FOR NO REASON.

That makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. Unless you suddenly go "man, fuck, this girl looks hot she must've been lying about everything she likes and faking a personality because she's a bimbo.".

Is that what you do, Snake?

Doesn't Tali get all embarassed about falling in love with Shep ( the man who suddenly shows up and save her and shit )? I guess that'd be why.

[BitVyper]

Yeah, no. Square .... have the rights to Legacy of Kain.

What? Augh, fuck ugh what? Fuck.... fuck

FUCK

[Ramary]

They got them after eating Eidos up. Just like how Square were the ones who published Deus Ex Human Revolution.

Mass Effect 1's lead writer resigned from Bioware, and I found something interesting when he mentioned leaving them.

As many of you probably know, I wasn’t on the ME3 team – I’ve been working on SWTOR for the past three years. In fact, I left midway through ME2

This explains so much.

This is the part that kept running through my head. I don't know why this notion exists that because her uniform/costume/gym clothes now features a deep v in her shirt that automatically she must have lost all value as a character. To compress it more, it's like "prettier"=no character. And I just don't get why that assumption has been made, especially about a game that isn't even out yet.

She didnt need a low cut V-shirt before, what does she need it for now? Why did the feel compelled to redesign her like that? I actually had no problem with Ashleys redesign until I read this.

Though I think Bioware putting Jack in what barely counts as a top was a valid reason. She cares little for others opinion of her and thinks of sex as primarily just a simple carnal diversion. She dressed how you'd expect someone like her to dress.

Ok, but she was wearing a couple of straps. That is uncomfortable as shit, nobody would ever wear that. I changed her to her alternate appearance as soon as I could.

[Kim]

Yeah, the idea that Jack dresses "how you'd expect someone like her to dress" is honestly just something straight men tell themselves so they don't feel bad about liking the eye-candy. Nobody would wear that shit. Ever. If you *actually* didn't care what others thought of you, you'd tend towards comfortable clothes. If you want clothes that make you look sexier to others, then there are clothes that are designed for that. Jack's outfit is and has always been dumb.

[Krylo]

Also she's wearing it in combat.

My male gaze is broken

Jack struck me as a complete fucking idiot-child with no sense of reality, Miranda was just a spoiled, self-important asshole, Liara had less personality than a plank of wood an Ashley was just lazy-boring. None of them tugged on any of my male primative urges at all.

Tali was the most 'attractive' female character over-all, mostly because of the nerdiness and accent, but they are still trying their best to sexy her up as much as they can get away with without notice.
