【“The Poetics of Eroticism: Shakespeare's ‘Master Mistress'.”】

BioWare role-playing games and “The Poetics of Eroticism: Shakespeare's ‘Master Mistress'.”sex sort of go hand-in-hand, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is no different.

The Canada-based developer has built up a reputation for giving players a variety of choices to make as they play, up to and including who they would most like to bone. So obviously when the new Andromedatrailer dropped, the question on everyone's lips was: "Can I kiss that alien?"

Yes, yes you can. Humans too, apparently.

Mass Effect: Andromedacomes to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 21. Tune in on all the bawdy chatter below.
