alright. you know that games have progressed with society, when the games start having, eerm, creative endings. lemme explain myself.


it used to be a novelty you know, just to play a game. perferably a hack-and-slash one. then years ago, they decided to introduce romances into the RPGs, to make it more realistic. i suppose my first encounter with this was in Baldur's Gate 2. alright, but the game featured in the picture, now that game's called Jade Empire. it's a fairly new release, not the latest but yeah. and it's for xbox. but that's not the interesting part. the interesting part is that in this game, there are romances. but not as you think. i mean, you can play as a male or female protagonist yeah? and if you're male you can romance this female Non Player Character who's the princess of the chinese empire. and if you're female you can romance this male guy whose wife died shortly after giving birth to a daughter, who was subsequently taken and killed by bandits. the father lost track of the killers and vowed vengeance against evil (erm, duh. very predictable la) alright.

that's all well and good don't you think? sounds pretty normal to me. ah hah! but here's where the deviations start to appear. apparently, while i was playing a male and romancing the princess, some of her conversations were, eerm, quite open in nature. almost 'kinky' if you will. so i experimented. i used a female character, and yes, i romanced the straight princess into a lesbian. like omfg. lol.

apparently, the male character could also have the option of romancing the male NPC. haha! which is, abit the sick. i mean, lesbians are tolerable, but gays in my opinion are.. off-limits. but this just goes to show how the games are reflecting the changing times. and well, can you imagine the lil kids playing this who are way younger than me? i don't know whether to laugh or to shudder man.

anyway, just outta curiousity, since each romance path as well as light or dark side path has different epilogues for each character at the end of the game, i'm just gonna pick the evil male homo. just for fun. lol. seeing that i already finished the evil female lesbian path.

=)


i'm not sick. just, curious to see the lame ass epilogue. and to see how ridiculous the romance conversation options can be. lol.



i gotta get an xbox. after the As.
