A relationship that does nothing to advance the plot or world of the game we play in. It explains nothing. It expands nothing. It's jus lip service to a trend.

There are entire genres of comics and manga devoted solely to unimportant relationships. Not everything about a character has to result in you getting something, but such relationships do and can expand on a character's background motivations and experiences that either lead to how they got somewhere or why they're there.

I play this game for the enemys & world's they inhabit, and the relationship does nothing to advance Bray or exos or Rasputin. And if a relationship is relevant to plot or world building, that's good. This does neither. It's jus forced inclusive. The Bungie Rainbow t-shirt covers everything but heterosexual. When a relationship develops plot & world, it doesn't matter about orientation. When it's jus there with no consequence, it looks dumb. -
Edited by GrundleBeans: 7/12/2018 12:00:18 AMWell that's funny because when you PLAY the game, there's no mention whatsoever about her relationship. I'd love for you to describe to me the in-game lore object/scannable or spoken line by Ana that tells us how much she loves and wants to bang her lesbian girlfriend. Because if that were in the game, you might actually have a reasonable point here that wasn't just blatant homophobia.

External media is meant to advance plot, character, motivation & world building, not pander to Twitter trends. -
Maybe you spend too much time on Twitter yourself if you think this has anything to do with it. [quote]External media is meant to advance plot, character, motivation & world building[/quote] External media is 1) external. So what happens out there doesn't affect your game time or how you play, so is mostly irrelevant to gameplay unless the media inserts back into the game in some way that affects the plot. 2) External media is not only a means of advancement, but [i]expansion[/i] on background information or adding supplemental things where gaps in stories exist. 3) Characters having relationships IS motivation and provides further details about background the same way lore does, only usually in more detail. 4) External media is often supplemental information on things that have no influence on the game and merely fall into canon (or fall out of canon and end up meaning affecting nothing)

Blatant homophobia? I'm bi.. you presumptuous idiot. I hate even defining myself as bi. It's a label. The expansion of relationship needs to be relevant to world building, and those comics do nothing to enhance that. -
No it does not. It's called "character building" and is a regular thing among all sorts of media. Not all character building does or has to revolve around advancing a plot but exists along side it. The comics focus on Ana's journey to Hellas Basin and part of that is also a relationship that is happening at the same time. Don't read the comics if you don't like it so much. It has fvck all to do with the actual game.

So i can have a character just be gay and nothing more to add as character building.
