Where'd the other 2% go:
No idea.
Have any of the counts so far actually added up to 100%? I know one was three percent off, this one is two, another was missing a single percent.
Not to be completely antagonistic, but I kind of agree with My Avatar is Batman. I know that showing an interest in women does not preclude an interest in men, and that is my immediate response when people people use Awakening for evidence of Anders' sexuality, but I also think that if a character isn't a certain sexuality, they
aren't that sexuality. Having options for everyone is all well and good, and I trust the writers to give us compelling characters and plots regardless of what sexual orientation is involved. I'm not commenting on my views about the potential orientations of the particular batch of LIs we have this time around, especially not Anders, but I don't support any possible changes to any character being made just for the added content/"copping out"/however you want to phrase it. I know we don't know what his intended sexuality was in Awakenings, save that he wasn't homosexual, and I don't think there will be problems in this area in DAII. I also know that only the writers are actually aware of the ins and outs of the character, and any vibes we get are more likely wishful thinking more than anything. Still, those are my thoughts. Characterization before pleasing the masses, as even in a place like Thedas were views are rather relaxed, such a thing can still have an impact on the character.
Ideally, there would be exclusively gay options, but I don't think we'll be seeing that any time in the near future.
(I hope that didn't come across as too inflammatory. I have a hard time gauging how my tone will be perceived by others.)
