More general info here in the official website and here. It seems it will have romance paths too, we only know one companion so far called Tom Vargas (he is screaming straight romance option to me sadly with a dead spouse, hope I'm wrong since he seems to be plot-relevant) I guess this game is going to relieve that itch for the next Mass Effect, 3rd person story driven rpg with full customizable protagonist and romance options (who knows how gay those are going to be) I'm going to be skeptical about this game for now since we know nothing about how gay inclusive is going to be but creating the thread for the upcoming news.

He's likely straight but they do describe him as a charming rogue and you just know companies love their depraved bisexual tropes.
It looks pretty interesting but I will definitely be side-eyeing it for now until we get romance confirmations.

Damn Nick beat me to it, I was considering making a thread on this one eventually but I got lazy XD.
One thing of note is that is led by OG Bioware veterans:
Drew Karpyshyn in the writing front, who wrote on BG 1 and 2, Neverwinter, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1-2, star wars kotor, swtor up to shadow of revan.
James Ohlsen Game Director for Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 games, the original Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins
So in essence, would expect something very similar to bioware's style of narrative. BUT hopefully a better outcome romance wise to current standards hopefully than those games.

I must say that I'm not too thrilled about the setting, its a pity we dont see more new settings when it comes to rpgs, its always space opera or medieval fantasy, some tiny different here and there but overall the same setting. But hey, if this let me be gay I will eat it til nothing is in the dish! Tom Vargas gives me Reyes vibes, I dont know how many companions will there be but if those four are the only ones, I'm guessing both humans will be the romance options so hopefully both will be bi. In one of the videos in the official site there's like an introduction to "awakened animals" so maybe the big robot suit is an animal controlling the suit, that would be fun haha About the aliens, the celestials are just advanced mutated humans, I wonder if there will be actual aliens, Starfield was a let down in this regard

This is more Andromeda ish and starfield ish which I enjoy but feels more of the same. Basically I want the cyberpunk city but on a space sci fi. Which mass effect trilogy does but on a smaller scale. Like let me hang out with aliens, tired of discovering aliens, let us just be with them like is not new, we just chill fine with them. Also a break from are "robots our doom" stories too. And yeah medieval fantasy is another that I think is fun but they could mix it up, make it fantasy in another time setting. I don't know steampunk fantasy, noir fantasy, sci fi but western, or better yet, time travelers. Alas. Seems super small number of companions, hopefully those are just the main ship starting ones and you get to add/meet new ones later as you explore planets. Well the celestials better do something unique, man with 3 nipples, triboobs, 3 buttcheeks idk be creative XD. Animals definitely seem underutilized lately as companions so it would be nice to have some pet robot mix!

yeah like theres so many genres out there untouched, not even mentioning the old urban fantasy rpg dream that started the old pm in BSN (closest thing is Vampire: The Masquerade but still so limiting no gay romances or stuck at being a vampire), I'm still gonna enjoy space opera/medieval fantasy rpgs, love them but it feels like rpgs are always in the same spiral of ideas. But hey, happy we are not as petty as dudebros saying this game is going to be the dead of Mass Effect, like I read lots of comments about that, like you cant enjoy both? "Ohhh Dreadwolf better be good, BG3 set a high standard" bitch is a videogame, shut up and enjoy
I really hope this game turns out to be a decent gay adventure for us, even if they fall into tiring old tropes, hope there's a romanceable option for everyone to love and enjoy the journey!

Was she his spouse though? I thought she loved him but didn’t get what was their exact relationship? And damn only four companions? That doesn’t usually end up being fair for all sexualities 😞

Talking about other genres in rpg, I’m a big fan of sci fi so I don’t want it to go away anytime, but I would have loved to see urban fantasy setting 🥹the upcoming vampire bloodlines will hopefully scratch that itch 🧐 it will have a customisable protagonist with a voice and a name and cinematic cutscenes so I’m really looking forward to it.

This game is still giving me Waylanders vibes. I will be shocked if it is a real game that actually succeeds.
