Diversity is a wonderful thing - but when something like homosexuality is forced on the masses by making EVERY character in a game bisexual then it stops being diversity and starts being ridiculous. Like I said, I wouldn't mind having a gay character (which would be entirely possible) - but having all gay characters? No.
Its not forced upon you. Let me explain something.
PC= Player controlled
NPC=Non-player controlled
NPCs, you don't have any direct control over their actions. Closest thing is giving them orders in combat or something like that. The PC however, the one you control, is controlled solely by you, and you alone. You get to make choices about things. Sometimes, you don't like either outcome, but you must pick. There are three possible outcomes when talkling with a Bioware romanceable character:
Outcome 1) I like you romantically. Lets have sex.
Outcome 2) I don't find you sexually attractive. Lets be anything but lovers.
Outcome 3) Lets avoid anything on the topic of sexual relations. That way I'm not even involved enough to reject you.
And then, there's a fourth outcome, which comes from ignoring the NPC outright. But the point is, you have full control over your PC, whether Hawke in DA2, or Shepard in Mass Effect 3. Whatever happens with their penis is your fault. You say you have difficulties with the dialogue wheel:
And the heart wheel thing from DA2 was terrible - everytime I talked to one of my male buddies I had to cycle through the options and having to read options like "nice body" or something else like that is just... well, gross. Kinda hard to take a character seriously when you're half an inch from clicking an option that ends in bed.
So other people should miss-out because you can't steady your hand? First it was "Well the text is ambigious, I don't know for sure" so they incorporated the heart. If somebody can't figure out what the heart means (which is probably explained in the game manual, and probably in the tutorial as well) then said person is really ****ing stupid, and deserves whatever treatment they get. You're responsible for educating yourself on how to play. But you, the person I'm talking to one the forum, complain, because you have a shaky hand? That its so close? Really? Thats quite frankly a pathetic reason to deprive others of content.
Of course, we could fix this if we had the dialogue lines in DA:O combined with the symbols in DA:2, and then you'd have absolutely no reason to worry about accidently coming across a situation a competent player can avoid, correct?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I'm sure I'm far from alone in the 98% that feels this way.
1. Don't know where you're getting your percentages from.
2. Assuming that you think that only gay people will interact with it, you're dead wrong, plain and simple. Most players will go through all the possible courses-of-action possible. I've experienced almost every single possible outcome of major plot points in Dragon Age Origins. That included romancing all of the characters, ans even going without romancing one. Its all choice, and many people, gay or straight, will choose to involve themselves in whatever romances they can.
If Bioware is serious about expanding their market - they should listen. I know Glee is pretty successful but it isn't because of the gay characters, it's because of the great music and entertaining plots.
Just my 2 cents.
I don't think Bioware is trying to expand their market towards people who will go "Eww! Gay icky!" at their games. You know, people generally not legally old enough to buy the game, regardless of whether Bioware wants them as followers or not.

bisexual/gay/however you want to lable it or c) both is dumb and ruins any kind of realsim (ie imerssibility) in the game from a character stand point. and the characters of a story make a story.
