looks like I'm grabbing the free version. can't believe I actually pre-ordered PoE1.

To be fair was arcade ganon from fallout new vegas gay? Or veronica lesbian/bi?
Never preorder my friend NEVER...

gaynon was indeed gay but you wouldn't ever figure it out unless you ask him about it
dunno about veronica 'cause she was annoying as fuck, I always pop a bullet in her head as soon as I see her & ED-E is the best companion anyway
in this day and age the "lgbt" companion will probably be found tonguing some guy's anus.

Read again, he said there would be LGBT companions (PoE1 already had one, Maneha) and potential romances, but didn't say there were LGBT romances. :smug:

Since the original tweet is about falling in love with companions, it is completely normal to assume that, when Josh replies "Yes" to the follow up question "will there be LGBT companions", it means said companions will have relationships with the PC/each other.

I am in no way surprised that people seem to care more about the presence of LGBT romance options than actual gameplay.

God, I hope romances dont attract those fuckin biofag weirdos to this game. Those fags ruin everything they get close to.

eder is confirmed trump inspired gay romance. You can say your sick of his racism and what the heck is up with his hair color then eventually fuck his hate literally.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Ew, why would there be romances at all?

Because "companion relationships" was a stretch goal, and potential romances were part of that? Didn't we go through this like 250+ pages ago during the actual fig campaign?

Oh wow, companions are going to have relationships (all kinds of) with people? Stretch goal heaven! Obsidian pushing boundaries again! Oh, wait... I meant that it should've been in the game in general.

...

I do have to admit I wasn't surprised at all that the LGBT romance question came from a self-professed Bioware fan, but hopefully Obsidian will do a better job with all their relationships (whatever form they take, from friendship to rivalry to one-night stands to whatever) than Bioware. It would be hard to do worse.

Nothing to spark the Codex' interest in a game, and provoke learned discussion about RPG gameplay, like the announcement it will have LGBT characters.

Yeah, really makes you wonder why that "Repressed Homosexual" tag is scarcely used.

But then again, this is a safespace for alt-right edgelords.
And I for one respect your special needs!

By "relationships" I didn't mean romances or romantic relationships with the PC lolololol. I meant they interacting with each other a bit more deeply than occasional quips here and there. Leave the PC alone!

People throwing a tantrum just because JES said there are some gay/bi companions, you're about as ridiculous as SJWs getting mad because there aren't enough black people/women/gays in games. :lol:
I can understand people being a bit sceptic over this issue if were talking about BioWare, but Obsidian has shown in the past that they can do a sensible job and not just make characters that are only present to shout that they're gay and have no other defining trait, just look at Veronica and Arcade in F:NV. Even Maneha in PoE was lesbian and although she was by far the weakest companion in the game, she wasn't defined solely by her sexuality and she didn't just screamed "look at me, I'm lesbian!" the moment you meet her (unlike Mizhena or the trans NPC in ME: Andromeda).

1) You don't see me brigading the devs on twitter or sending the tweet to some alt right cuck site to generate a shitstorm so I really don't get this comparison with SJWs. I just said I'm not gonna buy it.
2) Obsidian showed it in the past when they had different (read: good) writers + FNV and PoE didn't have romance so they couldn't shove their balls in your face even if the writers wanted to.
