I thought tali suddenly showing an interest in Shepard was rather adorable, but not wanting to cheat on Liara, he said 'not interested' and moved on with his life. About the 'showing interest' part, I was trying to refer back to DA2 where Anders had never shown any inclination towards being bi in awakening and suddenly he is in DA2, this just stuck me as lazyness on BioWare's part and I was really dissapointed. I was hoping BioWare wouldn't force this on ashley/kaidan as well but this seems unlikely now...
I don't think it's laziness on the part of the writers that they didn't have DAA Anders say "I like boys AND girls!" any more than it's laziness on their part that we come to find out Miranda
isn't a cold-hearted ****. Not everything about someone is readily apparent or readily shared, nor is someone's sexuality necessarily a defining characteristic of who they are (unless they choose it to be). If we're basing someone's future actions based solely on what they've done in the past, then Liara wouldn't be available to
either sex because she was a virgin when Shepard picked her up on Therum.
As for Ashley/Kaidan, they were originally slated in ME1 to be available to both sexes (going so far as to have Meer/Hale record voicework for both romance scenes). So 'retconning' them isn't really quite the stretch that some people are making it out to be.
