Very well if you insist, although you simply asked if we agreed and disagreed
1. It cheapens the romances.
– Are you saying that adding a bi/gay character is a cheap romance if both sex’s can pursue it?
2. The romances lose their uniqueness (kind of like 1, but whatever)
– What do you mean? My Shepard is my Shepard even though there are many like it (not trying to be a jackass it’s simply true). Will we ever see the VS again who knows, that’s not our choice.
3. It's unrealistic. Not everyone in life is bisexual. (it's a game, sure, but ME should be one of the realistic kind)
– Sorry no matter how pretty it looks, it will always be a game, game series of the century in my opinion but a game nevertheless. No not everybody in life is bisexual this is true, but games do provide “what if” scenarios for those interested.
4. If it happened, there would be arguments over whether Manshep or Femshep is better with x character.
– this is going to happen no matter what.
5. DA2 tried this, but if you ask me, it didn't feel as good as the ME romances.
– I liked the one I tried so again I simply disagree.
6. It's a bit late to make them bi in ME3. ME1 was released in 2007 or something. If they were going to be bi, it should have been then.
– For current li’s yes I agree, also the same with male Shepard, female Shepard will always have the bi vibe to me, intended or not.
7. Wouldn't it be awkward if the LIs were just suddenly bi? It would seem like it was done just to appease people (which is LAME)
– Awkward no, left field yes and lame not really, Seeing as I would be pretty surprised if they didn’t yoink dragon age 2’s dialog wheel there should be no unwelcome surprises
8. If at least ONE person that could have been bi, it should have been Jack (my opinion)
– Why because she has issues? But then that’s the point she has issues big ones, if I was playing my game I would have taken Jack straight back to prison just on reading her rap sheet. It’s not like I wouldn’t have given her the time of day I would like to help Jack, but she belongs in jail or at least a place where she can be monitored.

NO. I at least am saying they need to bring in separate characters that can be same sex romances, not change exhisting ones.
2. The romances lose their uniqueness (kind of like 1, but whatever)

Chris has always said we will see the VS again. The reason they were not included in the ME2 team was so they would play a large part in ME3. I beleive him. If I'm wrong, then I'll **** about it loudly.
3. It's unrealistic. Not everyone in life is bisexual. (it's a game, sure, but ME should be one of the realistic kind)
– Sorry no matter how pretty it looks, it will always be a game, game series of the century in my opinion but a game nevertheless. No not everybody in life is bisexual this is true, but games do provide “what if” scenarios for those interested.
It's a game. It's a game I've invested money and time in. A game with characters I've been interacting with for a years. Many of my Shepards, male and female, have talked to Ash and talked to Kaidan about their lives and family. Neither of them in any game ever indicated remotely that they were bi-sexual. I want characters to be consistant. I'm quite willing to have a "what if" scenario as long as it's with a charcter who is not allready developed.
4. If it happened, there would be arguments over whether Manshep or Femshep is better with x character.
– this is going to happen no matter what.
True so there is no reason to make the change.
5. DA2 tried this, but if you ask me, it didn't feel as good as the ME romances.

The romances in DA2 are ok, but it has reduced the number of games I play through. The LI are not consistant so I will not do a male same sex romance, which I would have if one of them had been openly bisexual. Isabela has allways been bisexual.
6. It's a bit late to make them bi in ME3. ME1 was released in 2007 or something. If they were going to be bi, it should have been then.
– For current li’s yes I agree, also the same with male Shepard, female Shepard will always have the bi vibe to me, intended or not.
Well, this is the whole point. Current LI should remain unchanged. Additional same sex or bisexual characters should be added.
7. Wouldn't it be awkward if the LIs were just suddenly bi? It would seem like it was done just to appease people (which is LAME)
– Awkward no, left field yes and lame not really, Seeing as I would be pretty surprised if they didn’t yoink dragon age 2’s dialog wheel there should be no unwelcome surprises
Awkward not really a word I would have used. cheap, stupid, lame, Yes I would use those words. I'm not concerned about unwelcome surprises, the little hearts in DA2 irritate me but they are ok. I'm interested in having a same sex romance that does not involve a character I've talked to and enjoyed from ME1 suddenly announcing that they are bisexual and lo and behold Shepard is what brought them to the light of reason.
8. If at least ONE person that could have been bi, it should have been Jack (my opinion)

I don't see Jack as bisexual. She has too many control issues. I see her as using sex to control Shepard, to control men who usually have the power. But that is probably just my own warped view.

Yes, no doubt. But fanservice is where the money is. If BioWare thinks there is profit in bi LIs in ME3 they will include those, even making old LIs previously belived to be straight discovering new feelings for Shepard. Bi seemed to work well in DA2 so perhaps that will influence BioWares decisions about ME3 LIs.Bourne Endeavor wrote...
Case in point, Garrus and Tali were blatant and obvious fanservice.

poor Jacob. He's actually a nice guy. I always turn the sound off when I'm romancing him for the first few talks, not becuase of him, but because of Shepard.

Jacob would have been better if Shepard didn't seem like all she wanted to do is shag him (my opinion). Justa mistake in writing, if you ask me.

I think I misinterpreted a bit there, sorry.

It should be done as it was in the last two games. That means a few will be bi, and my femshep will be happy.

New folks that are bi/gay are fine, I'm not opposed to it. Heck I'm actually FOR it. Especially male s/s (I'm a straight male and I say this).

If it was done like it was in the last two games no one will be bi (the way I think it should be).
