Random things that pop into my head at 5am…eh, 5:40am…

Hmm.

Thoughts on my general tendencies when doing BioWare romances below the cut.

I had this much bigger, longer, and likely to end up rambly thing started, but remembered I’d done actually completed two femalePC/malePartyMember romances instead of one. Make that three: remembered I completed female Sith Warrior/Malavai Quinn is SWTOR.

I generally find BioWare’s ladies more interesting than their dudes, partly because my reaction ends up being “Oh, a VARIETY of interesting and non-damsel-in-distress female characters? LET ME KNOW AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN ABOUT THEM.”

But the main idea of my random thought was wondering if my own real-world fear of accidentally dating a Nice Guy if/when I ever start dating impacts how I view BioWare’s male LIs when I’m playing a female character. It might also have to do with my perception of power dynamics, though I think that’s a little less involved in why I wasn’t drawn to femPC/maleNPC in most BioWare games; in SWTOR, though, the fact that the power dynamic in the female Sith Warrior/Malavai Qunn relationship was pretty darn clearly in my Warrior’s favor did have a big impact of why I went for it.

Random thoughts. Partly brought on by spoilery semi-confirmation info about ME3 romanceoptions that I found on an LJ comm.

I’m pretty sure it’s flat up canon at this point. XD

HAHAHA YES.

All of my Shepard’s have the driving philosophy that says, “If I have a vehicle that can handle terrain that prevents most vehicles from going from Point A to Point B in a straight line, by golly I am going to drive that thing in a straight line, 85 degree hillsides be damned.” This can get very interesting.

Also I jammed the Mako into the ramp to the ExoGeni scientist on Feros. Had to WALK to the ExoGeni Headquarters and BACK. There was a lot of dieing, and i never did that again.
