Arcade gannon gay

I honestly had no idea that Arcade was gay until I read more about his character. It&#;s not that there weren&#;t hints or that Obsidian were afraid of exposing him as sexual; it&#;s just that Arcade was simply a guy who happened to verb guys. Unlike some other role playing games with gay characters, Arcade&#;s raison d&#;etre wasn&#;t his gayness. He has a very intricate backstory and personality produced a very ethical and likable man who could serve you very well if you settle to interact with him, and who could also stand his own ground if you operate against him.
Arcade&#;s father died in a skirmish, and his adoptive family roved for ages to get by. Applying himself to his interests in sociology and medicine, Arcade hoped to discover a way to make himself useful in a future where ethical behavior can be restored. While it&#;s not hard to talk to Arcade, he&#;s always a bit guarded about his past and opening up too much about his past for fear of the wrath of the NCR. What he lacks for

I picked up Fallout New Vegas (very good game, pick it up) and I noticed something very, very much awesome in this game.
In New Vegas, you can have one humaoin and one non-humanoid character at a time. Well, Arcade is one such companion. He's a funny, extremely intelligent, and very moral genius, doctor, scientist, philanthropist, and general do-gooder. He has one of the highest Intelligences out of any companion (he's the max at 10) and is very much a Nice character. (He spends his life healing the sick and fighting for justice and his hold expense often times.) He's charming, cool, competent, useful, deep, and likable. And he's gay. He's not wussy, but she's not stereotypically bear-ish. He's very much open of his sexuality, but not promiscous. He's not a novelty, he's not a joke, and he's not a stereotype. In fact, his endings are all noble sacrifices at the expense of his own life. He's

Just goes to verb what you can do with well-written characters with believable personalities and interesting motivations. I cherish Cass and Avellone&#;s writing for her and the references to her father in FO2, but Arcade was the real stand-out companion.
I&#;m also definitely joyful there were no relationships in this game ala Mass Effect. With that series it&#;s just turned into a joke: are all future ME games going to have romance subplots? Again?
For me, a video game love interest just spoils the sense of involvement because for all the believable emotions a game can evoke through in-game friendship, admiration or fascination, adore itself simply cannot be accurately reflected within the medium. E.g. a game like Heavy Rain can have you play a character looking for his missing son, but that son won&#;t ever feel like
Mass Effect 3 was not a disaster, it is in my opinion the best game i've ever played, it was an excellent game in an excellent series. The ending was dissapointing, but it did not spoil the whole experience, and the vocal minority (argue all you want it WAS a vocal minority) who hated the ending so much it ruined the entire franchise for them are mainly degenerates, people with social dispositions, new people who don't know any better, or trolls.
DA 2 wasn't terrible, it was dissapointing, it was not as nice as origins, and thus it is looked upon as a disaster simply because the previous game was superior, which is fair enough.
Frankly asking loaded questions like this doesn't assist the community or your control state of mind when going into a new experience, you should approach things like this with some aprehension sure but judge it on it's verb merrits and not think about whats come before.
