Can relationship trash be avoided?

[Ohnooze]

I ran across a YouTube clip of yasuke kissing another man. Can this be avoided? I'm not interested in any romance but especially not interested in yasuke being gay. I don't understand the need for romance in a game of this kind.

Just enable canon mode when starting the game and you'll not see any romance options or any dialogue options at all. You'll see the intended story. If you're not playing in canon mode, the romance stuff is clearly marked with a heart icon in the dialogue choice so it's easy to avoid.

Yes, like ZemX said: Just get in SETTINGS and activate "canon mode" without romances.

[Shin Happens]

All romances are 100% entirely optional and require user input to trigger them. No romance is forced upon you. You can pick and choose or choose no one.

In normal game mode you will see heart icons when you meet a romanceable character for dialogue options that start the romance. Just don't pick those. Both Naoe or Yasuke are as gay or bi or hetero or asexual as you want them to be.

Thanks

these people are right--it's as simple as not clicking on the heart icons. nothing to it.
but put some thought/research into whether you want to do canon mode or not, the gameplay experience is somewhat different.

If you saw a kiss then you saw the sex scene. No nudity, just a kiss then fade to black. All the 'romances' are like that. When they fade in, the pair (whichever pair you chose) are fully clothed. Did anything happen? We'll never know. The tamest lamest sex scene ever.

Man that is LAME AF. Ubisoft seriously lacks the balls to implement something actually interesting. I still remember how delighted and surprised I was to witness an actual sex cutscene in the first Dragon Age way back in 2010. Was not expecting that at all, so many new ideas that just worked.

But why tho? All things considdered its the best method for birth control.

all this relation-things are just small little "side quests". absolutely nothing to worry about. i clicked on all the romance/heart-dialogs and there was mostly no "romance scene" at all or a kiss for 0.2 seconds....

so if anything then this romance / relation-ship-things are not "trash" as you tell them but funny little side-events. even if you don't want to see men kissing or something. do this little side missions and have fun

but no, you aren't forced in any way.

No need to cope at all. It's just a question. I'm not interested in being a big gay black samurai. It's all so ridiculous really.

I got some news for you:

Playing this game neither makes you a Samurai nor Shinobi, nor lesbian or gay or whatever - it is just a video game.

I understand but you're playing as a character. I mean if I was playing as Donald Trump it wouldn't make me Donald Trump in real life but it's still not something I would want to play as. It's not hard to understand.

It’s far more ridiculous that you cannot separate yourself from a playable video game character. It is a piece of fictional interactive entertainment. You give the impression of being deeply insecure and prejudiced.

Not insecure at all. I'm just not interested in being a gay character in a game.
Of course I can separate myself from the character. I mean I play as Naoe and don't consider myself to be a Japanese girl....
