    Dunno man, don't think that would work. Female characters in all media are way more heavily scrutinised when compared to their male counterparts, in a similar way to how I imagine that homosexual relationships would be, even though people probably know girls that fit the moulds.

    I'm all for more homosexual relationships and better representation in games. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing more variety when it comes to how relationships are handled anyways. I'd like to see main characters who don't hook up with anyone or just have relationships that don't work out or things like that.

    Personally, if I were writing the script for a game, I'd have more fun writing things that are more outside the norm or things that I may be less familiar with anyways.

    I'm bisexual so I like bisexual characters.

    Zevran and Leliana were the best, and everyone in DA2 was bi so that was also perfect.

    I had a blast romancing Dorian in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

    I like a gay option if it's there and if it's decently done (i.e., not just swapping in a male avatar by the game still plays like it's a female, a la the original Fable) but it doesn't really bother me or make a game any less enjoyable if it isn't.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Start with giving both genders equal attention. Fem Shep got shafted on who she could romance one too many times compared to her male counterpart. Even in 3 when you could gay it up.

    At last, somebody who recognizes Fem Shep's romance options sucked.

    But they did give male and female Shep's romance options equal attention. Everyone's romance options sucked in ME.

    Was it possible to romance Garrus as man Shep? It's cruel not to let Garrus be a romance option for everyone because Garrus is just the best.

    Having said that I always picked Liara. She's a blue alien. I couldn't help myself.

    No, Male Shep had a lot more options to romance people than Fem Shep in the third game.

    Picture showing the two romance options

    It's stupidly flipped on the gay side of things, too. Quantity wise, anyway. Quality wise they both suck. Four lesbian options and you have like two that actually mean anything. Who the smurf cares about the news lady?

    My point was they were all garbage, so who the hell cares?

    It's like complaining that the guy at the table next to you has five different flavors of dog feces to sample while you only have two.
