(no subject)

A link from today's Penny Arcade threw up this (admittedly dated) nugget - though Bioware has apparently advanced a little from their "same gender only" stance evidenced on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, there's still no man-on-man action.

'... players using a female character can initiate a sex scene "between her and male human or a female humanoid alien." Male characters, on the other hand, can only initiate sex "between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien."'

Obviously this is somewhat out of context; not having played the game in question I can't say whether that's because you're only allowed to proposition certain genders based on your own gender, or if it's more that you're only allowed to proposition the characters to whom you become close in the game and, as it happens, only the female alien is responsive to same-sex shennanigans. Still, interesting.

Note to self: Jade Empire.
