Like a virgin, touched for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Happy to confirm Mass Effect 3 supports wider options for love interests including same-sex for male and female characters, reactive to how you interact with them in-game,&rdquo; he writes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite both Dragon Age games including gay romance opportunities, Mass Effect has &ndash; somewhat controversially &ndash; avoided them (although some would argue that being able to court the officially-non-gendered-but-actually-female-because-she-has-boobs Liara T&rsquo;soni as a female Shepard counts, because it does). Of course, the decision to now include them will doubtless prompt further controversy, because people are impossible to please like that.<\/p>\n<p>I know my male Shepard has always had a pretty big thing for Joker. I mean, he&rsquo;s funny, he&rsquo;s smart, and he drives a spaceship.
