Mass Effect: Andromeda fans are lusting over new companion Jaal, and BioWare has responded... pretty positively

Did you think games like Overwatch had the market on "AAA video game characters people want to have sex with" cornered? Not even close. A recent reveal of Mass Effect: Andromeda companion Jaal has got fans' hearts all a-flutter, as they quietly (or on sites like Twitter and Tumblr, not so quietly) pine for this sexy twi'lek… cat… squid… thing.

But really, this shouldn't be a surprise. Gamers have been fantasizing about fictional characters since Samus was little more than a collection of squares on our buzzing CRT televisions. What is surprising is how well BioWare seems to be embracing the idea.
