So when it comes to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, those wanting more gay romance are forced to turn to mods.īut another report from TheGamer's Cian Maher on the matter explains how there are voice files regarding same-sex romance for the characters Jack, Jacob, Kaidan, Ashley, Miranda, Thane, and Tali. Likewise, male Shepards cannot date Jacob Taylor, despite the fact that the gay romance was originally modeled after Brokeback Mountain.

Still, this leaves some content for modders to have some fun with. But like what BioWare intended for Mass Effect, this is simply done to avoid accidentally missing some lines and having to record them later on. Cyberpunk 2077 saw some controversy after modders discovered there were male V voice files romancing Judy, a lesbian character. Sometimes players mistake this for an early intention to support same-sex romances only to get scrapped down the line, but this is fairly common practice in game development. This was already possible long ago as both voice actors for Commander Shepard, Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, recorded all dialogue for both characters regardless of any gender-specific related content. (n.d.).Thanks to new technology, modders can dig up official unused voice files found in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition to implement more same-sex romances than are officially supported in the trilogy, such as a relationship between FemShep and Miranda Lawson.
