Guess I am one of the only ones who will be more than satisfied with Fenris as a straight option and Anders as bi.
Honestly, the whole "everyone should be bi so anyone can romance anyone" really destroys the suspension of disbelief. In any world, people have distinct likes and dislikes. Some are naturally bi or gay, most are usually straight. I think 2 out of 4 romance choices being bi is more than you would get in reality (please, none of the "but this is FANTASYYYYY", because without basis in real human interaction any story becomes trite).
I would be more impressed if more of the characters were romance possibilities but to the exclusions of said character's preferences, whether straight, bi, or strictly gay. Wish as we might that we knew everything about a character and what preferences they SHOULD have, WE didn't write them, we don't know everything about them, and finding out will be the fun part.
All that said, if Anders winds up being straight and Fenris bi, I don't have a problem with that. It's all in the characters and the story, and it won't change how my Hawke interacts with them.
This. I can just hear the shrieks of fangirl rage if it turns out Fenris IS straight and Anders bi. And I won't lie, that shrieking is going to upset me a little bit. A character is written the way they are written for a reason, not as a matter of pleasing the players (this ALL bi idea is just ridiculous). I'm sure plenty of people are going to be sad if it works out the other way too (myself included, I actually LIKE M!Hawke/Anders), but either way it shouldn't be something to rage about. If it's not part of the character, then it's not part of the character.
