Yeah... Chorel Survey in Crom is where you want to go. Or, so I've heard. I wouldn't know personally, of course.
Z...
Not really, are you sure I can't interest you in taking this consignment of bio-waste instead? It smells bad and weighs a tonne...
You aim too low.
Target a system. Put it in Famine. Then kill every trader that tries to bring supplies to the system. You can kill tens of thousands of people from the comfort of your pilot chair and won't even break a sweat!
But only the traders who short-change you. I'm not a monster..
"Wow...our town has only had a Whole food for three weeks and we already have our first PC video game. So cool."
Well, to be honest, when I first entered this thread, I was expecting some rant about console players being screwed over by devs in one way or another.

To be fair, this might just be the correct way to go about the whole inclusion thing.
Now imagine if they added a PP character and they just had to make him flamboyant as hell because the only way to convey any real information is their picture. That would be demining.
Other than that: CQC LOL!

Heh, phrasing. I have to own that mistake; have some rep.
I disagree with you here. Firstly, the character isn't being praised or put on a pedestal for being gay. She's a procedurally generated image and a paragraph of text; not much character to judge! It's Frontier getting a small kudos for doing a teeny bit of effort. Secondly, this isn't really news, as people have pointed it out. It's just one person saying "Hey, neat." I think we should be encouraging stuff like that; it's just a bit of positive pressure to keep things rolling along. As a gay man in the States, I saw last November how things can slip backwards.

Please, can I have this? Fdev, I'll buy the pink lasers if you do; I don't care how flamboyant he is. Cause there really are flamboyant gay guys
Oh, maybe his PP item could be rainbow chaff that lasts twice as long!

Whatever next!? Pink lazors.......oh wait...
One thing I have noticed in gaming and culture in general (mostly thanks to Bioware) is an acceptance of Lesbian relationships. While Gay relationships have yet to be done well. If even attempted at all for the most part.
Let's take Dragon Age Origins as example. Leliana and Morrigan were really well done deep characters. Both had reasons and motives in the player relationships. But then Zevran the Gay Elf comes along chanting "I'm here I'm Queer! And if you don't make love to me I will try to kill you later."
Fast forward to Mass Effect. All these Xeno babes to swing both ways with the player and yet the only gay option was your shuttle pilot and some forgettable schmuck.
The way they handle it in this game is great. Just simply "My Wife" or "My Partner" and done. (Though partner could still be ambiguous) Just a statement of fact and moving on to better things to talk about. Not drawing attention to their sexuality. No glitter no bells and leather. No "I'm here I'm Queer!" They made it as minor a deal as it should be in reality. You scum sucking Imperials may have taken us back to 1860s America with your Johnny Rebel way of thinking but at least the rest of humanity has made some progress.

I'll never forgive Bioware for making an entire race of space lesbians/bisexuals in ME1, forcing me to wait until the third game for a romance option, and THEN hitting Kaiden with an ugly stick.

He probably looked better after Virmire than he did in 3...
First of all, nothing "[slipped] backwards" in November. Our rights are exactly the same now as they were before and I imagine they will be for the next four years or more. It shouldn't surprise you that there are people who don't agree with our sexuality or lifestyle. With ~330 million people in the States from a plethora of backgrounds and cultures, it should be expected that not everyone will agree.
Second, my issue wasn't with this showing up in the game or suggesting the game was announcing it; my issue was that the OP felt it was "newsworthy" as if the presence of a gay character needs to be announced as something super special. It isn't. We are normal and the presence of a gay character should be treated as normal--not something to celebrate. "Positive pressure," as you call it, just makes the other side more hardened against us ("Why do they have to shove this in our faces?!"). There's a gay character in Elite. Cool, moving on.
Honestly, I didn't even notice it and when I did I didn't care. I don't find these things worth mentioning because it's completely normal. It was more odd to me that a post was needed to bring attention to it. The ironic thing would be if it was found to be a mistake and they changed it to a male or changed wife to husband, because someone called attention to it.

Too true. Same thing happens with Religion and other Political items.
