It may not be that the publisher is opposed to gay parents, just they prioritize things like combat gameplay over Gay Harvest Moon side stories.<br /><br />Like for example, the New Mario Bros. platformer that's coming out include mario, luigi and toad as playable characters. But no Peach or Daisy. The programmers said in an interview that they really wanted to put Peach and Daisy in, but they just ran out of time and resources to spend on the characters, who would have needed complete ground up rendering and physics engineering/animation b/c of their skirts.<br /><br />It's not necessarily homophobia or sexism, it's economics.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532069370286107420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362449693979739609.post-55604304845364626412009-11-05T14:37:37.506-05:002009-11-05T14:37:37.506-05:00Now that's just laziness.

If your fictional world involves magic and/or advanced science, then not allowing your queer couplings to pull a Scarlet Witch and "plot-device" up some children is a failure of creativity.Kuhnsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061722311370042587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362449693979739609.post-78304590236763276572009-11-05T13:11:06.268-05:002009-11-05T13:11:06.268-05:00Fable 2 definitely allowed you to marry someone of...Fable 2 definitely allowed you to marry someone of the same gender. but when you did, you couldn't have kids together...

I have to give props for them including it, and having various options available for your fantasy stud to pursue.<br /><br />But, I have to agree... the scenarios and sexual dynamics do seem to be phoned in and pat.<br /><br />I'm wondering if Mass Effect 2 will see this issue and add some more interesting interactions. Hm... though I wonder if these cliche sexual interactions are there so the player finds them 'familiar' and easy to navigate?<br /><br />I mean... what if an NPC *only* wanted one night stands. Would it drive players crazy if there was no way to get that NPC to fall hard for them, instead of having them laugh as they walk out the door, untameable regardless of the dialogue tree chosen.<br /><br />I'm going to try and envision a perfect sex-coupling scenario in a video game...
