When I asked whether or not KaidanвЂ™s romance was cut for Male Shepard in the first game, and if so, would it be restored in the remaster, Walters responded with a quick and resounding вЂњno.вЂќ He elaborated, telling me, вЂњSo, this is an interesting one. Mac Walters, the gameвЂ™s director, told Game InformerВ that though the character was later added as a male romance option in the third game, the audio found for his character in Mass Effect 1 was not indicative of cut content. If you remember from our coverage back in February, we confirmed that though there were cut romance options for same-sex pairings, including Jack due to Fox News pressure,В Kaidan was reportedly never intended to be an option for Male Shepard in the first game. For some of them, there isnвЂ™t enough in the files to fully restore, but we can be very clever with reusing/splicing existing lines to fill in the blanks.вЂќ

Off the top of my head, these would be for Kaidan, Ashley, Jacob, Jack, Miranda, Thane, and Tali.

He added, вЂњSo PC Gaymers can rejoice (that was a terrible joke, donвЂ™t print that, lmao).

I know there are petitions to get BioWare to add in those romances for Mass Effect 2 and KaidanвЂ™s gay romance in Mass Effect, and while itвЂ™s a shame that it doesnвЂ™t look like thatвЂ™s going to end up happening, I can say that with our improved Mass Effect 2 audio modding potential, plus the fact that all of the unused same-sex romance voiceover is still present in Legendary EditionвЂ™s files, these mods are not just on the table вЂ“ theyвЂ™re pretty much certain to be made.вЂќ

вЂњEspecially since, for example, you canвЂ™t get the full Paramour achievement in Legendary Edition if you play a strictly gay male Shepard. вЂњI think the lack of LGBT representation in the Mass Effect trilogy is quite disappointing,вЂќ Ainsworth told the site. Because of that update, the modding community is finding it easier to restore those cut romances, including Kaidan and Ashley, which were limited to just the third game.

Since the Mass Effect Legendary Edition uses an updated Wwise audio engine, itвЂ™s easier to mod in cut audio than it was for the initial trilogy, something that players have seen with some of the older same-sex mods. Ryan Ainsworth, known as Audemus in the modding community, recently sat down with our friends over at TheGamerВ to talk about one of the many initiatives going forward with the remaster. Luckily, just like modders did for the original trilogy, the community is coming in to save the day by doing the same for the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Most notoriously was the decision to cut Jack, a character that plainly states in her conversations with Shepard that sheвЂ™s been with both men and women, due to criticisms from Fox News. While some of those dialogue options were recorded without the intention of being used, which is explained a little further down, others were cut due to social pressure to eliminate same-sex pairings. While right now there is only one mod to restore same-sex romances, one for default male Shepard only, the community as a whole is hard at work on restoring what was cut.ДЇiles were cut in the original games, eliminating voice lines that were recorded for same-sex romance options regarding characters like Kaidan, Jack, Jacob, Thane, and even Tali. That being said, more options were left on the cutting room floor, including Jack as a pansexual option, and modders for the original trilogy were quick to restore those scenes. Mass Effect 1 didnвЂ™t do it well,В but the team learned and evolved and eventually added more options in the subsequent two releases. RPGs that allow romance as a feature give players that are interested in that kind of content another layer of immersion to enjoy.
