A very interesting twist in game design. Unfortunately, not my type.

@goddessakasha: If that is their intention, they shouldn't count on stereotypes of gay preference. I'm a 'mo and I don't find this guy attractive in the least. Believe it or not, probably only a minority of gays are flaming queens, and I find them incredibly annoying.

@Byakko: Are you one who believes AIDS is the cure? Because the STD comment is very easily taken as fucked-up.

@goddessakasha:

Let's hope it's only the STDs -.-;;;

You know what I'm still wondering? What exactly is the birth control for female characters in the game? Because medieval condoms just sounds painful for all parties involved T_T

@geekgrrl: I agree... although, I'm fairly certain this "gigolo" is not for the females... ironically enough.. even gay MEN get something before female players do.

The gypsies in Ultima VI offered services to the Avatar in multiple gender/sexuality combinations - this was (way, way) back in 1990. Fallout II also had male prostitutes.

@WhiskeyJak: I can add to it, hire a men? Is that like gigolo mafia? Like the MEN have cornered the market in bootleg alcohol, and no, you can't work in our turf unless you pay for 'protection.'

That would be interesting organized crime ring right there. I hope it's a side quest.

one step-up for gender equality. two step backs for the direction you want gender equality to go?

Oh well as I always say, its ok to hate and be discriminatory as long as you do it equally to everyone! :p

Well.. I guest this is normal. Womens also play games. So If you can hire a girl for sex, you sould be able to hire a men. And not only women, there has to be gay people that may want to hire a men. Is news because we are not used to this idea, but the idea as to be as normal as water, fire and the sky.

Normally any thread about Fable 2 i'd be inclined to say "I can't wait for this fable 2" which is true, but it has nothing to do with Gigilos! Honest.

Sorry to point out but Gigolos have been around on the Xbox since the launch of Halo 2 and have been continuing the tradition ever since. So the day Xbox 360 was launched in Europe the Gigolos have been there... And by Gigolos I ofcourse mean the mighty clan Muchos Gigolos

Considering they already released female prostitutes, why would they care one way or another if there's a male equivalent? Heck, they could be brought up on being sexist on why they didn't make a hoo-haa until gigolos were involved!

@超外人:

By this open shirt and other dress I think it's supposed to be a homosexual character. Then again I assume all such 'vendors' need to be bisexual for the sake of gameplay generally. That's how they worked in the early Elder Scrolls titles. I would love to see characters like that back in a new tES. Not for some cheap gimmick, but for the environmental design. In Arena you could talk to crooks, witches, fortune tellers, 'showmen', as well 'whores'. It had a very unique feel to it.

Oblivion kind of tilted back to the more adult audience, and I loved that -- quirky characters that had twisted 'adult' motivations were some of the best humor in that game and the expansions. If the game was for kids you couldn't be as true to the world design -- especially for the twisted Shivering Isles. I was 'quite assured' of the 'maddess' of a certain smith for example.

I guess I'll wait for Fallout and see how Beth handles that IP -- maybe they can merge their ideas into that game universe smooth enough it feels the same yet improved with the increased abilities of modern consoles and PCs. I'm sure they'll bring back a lot of the great 'gags'.
