Mass Effect 2 - Kasumi DLC Trailer and More

by Dhruin, 2010-04-06 12:36:01

BioWare's Stolen Memories DLC, which adds Kasumi Goto as a character for Mass Effect 2, apparently launches in the next day or so.  Omega points out this trailer at Gametrailers.

While we're on Mass Effect 2, 1Up asked Casey Hudson and Ray Muzyka at GDC why no homosexual romances.  Seems an odd topic to worry about to me, but then I'm not big on the romances in the first place:

Casey Hudson: Everything new that we add still requires extra content. Some people might argue in a case like that you could just have the same kinds of scenes that just work with different characters. But we wouldn’t really want to have it that way. You’d want to take a proper approach to designing those scenes, otherwise you’d see the same scene. So we kind of pulled back and looked at where we had to draw the line in terms of how much content we make. How much should we support? We actually added a lot more romance options because we have new characters and multiple options already in the romances. So we kind of pulled back and said, "Well, the love interest is part of the story and it helps you care about the characters in a different way." We still view it as... if you’re picturing a PG-13 action movie. That’s how we’re trying to design it. So that’s why the love interest is relatively light. ... That’s another thing we did better than we did before. We really lock you into character. Tali is really interesting because the whole idea of her character and what she’s concerned about and her experience and age -- we kind of factor all those things, and we designed the love interests really around the particular characters because they’re all quite different. So her (love scene) is a little more innocent and fun.
