Champions and Heroes: Love is about forgiving

Description

I have yet to hear a good reason as to why the release date of Mass Effect 3 varied depending on where you lived. The frustration just made me want to download the game, which I can't imagine was what the company was going for.
But more importantly:
You may remember fav.me/d4oe1eo where I, in the comment section, said "I have a dream, that one day Bioware will include companions such as 'undeniably butch gay man'". Well. His name is Steve Cortez and he is your shuttle pilot in Mass Effect 3, where you only have 6 squad members so he sort of counts as your almost 7th. You help him deal with the loss of his husband and if you are a dude, and only if you are a dude, you can romance him.
The first conversation with him resulted in me alerting people who once knew me of my discovery. It was the first life sign since I started playing the game XD

:iconclueedo: pointed out that Samantha Traynor is a lesbian too, but I didn't pick up on her in game. Because I was too renegade for her liking or something XD

I can't imagine romancing Cortez, because of his vulnerable emotional state, but even so.
Thank you, Bioware.

Champions and Heroes is a colaboration with :iconclueedo: and can also be found here championsandheroes.smackjeeves… and on tumblr championsandheroes.tumblr.com/

All hail Bioware

Didn't mind Cortez, but I thought him a little too weepy to be considered a butch gay guy.  Otherwise he was okay, and handled being turned down by my broShep quite amiably I thought.

I on the other hand was annoyed by Kaiden suddenly becoming bi.  That was blatant pandering.

For the ladies there was Traynor, who I didn't mind right up until she took a shower with her underwear on.  You don't want to show full nudity you use creative camera angles, not have them do something ridiculous like shower with clothes on!

One step forward, two steps back.  That is EA for you.
