Except they _already did it_. ME1 had bi romance dialogue for all 3 LI's. As of ME2, there are 9 total romance options. They don't have to make every single LI bisexual. I get the feeling that having Kaiden/Ash be bisexual for ME3 would be enough.
The reasons why they dummied out same-sex human LI's was never because of money--after all, they were there in me1! The reason is because having Kaiden or Garrus making a pass at Sheploo is potentially going to ****** some people off.
oh for the love of. they did NOT have bi dialogue for all 3 LI's. they changed the names from Ashley to Kaidan and the other way around in 2 phrases for Ilos scene and had Hale/Meer record them. that's IT.
I'm afriad I'm goign to have to repeat myself here, but hey why not. did they plan to make Ashley/Kaidan bi? yes, seems that way. did they scrap it becasue they were lasy or because someone was whining about it? doesn't seem like it. coult they have possible scrapped it becasue they ran out of time/budjet to write it properly? absolutely yes.
why do I think that way? look at the neuances and development of romances through the game. it starts with Eden prime, where you save your potential LI, they show concern while the other character radios for normandy. it continues with extra dialogue, battle field flirting, offhand comments. it permeates the entire game, its what gives it Depth. in order for it to work for same sex relationship while retaining the same depth, they would have to add something of similar nature, little extras here and there, probably even redo the scenes that showcase atraction and flirting of one character but not the other and do it in such a way as to allow someone who's not interested to let characters down early and difinitively. change a lot of the animations. do you see where i'm going with this? it would have been a lot more time consuming and complex then changing a few phrases here and there. which is most likely why they focused only on oposite sex romances.
now, can they retcon in in ME3 with a simple "I just haven't told you before" ? yes, they can. they did it in DA2 after all, multiple times in fact and not just when it comes to romance. would it be a good solution, would it allow for the same depth as they wrote into straight relationships from ME1? personaly, I don't thinks so. but YMMV and judging by a lot of the opinions - people don't even care if there's any sort of percistant character development across all games they want their paralel univerce and if they cannot have it - they will mod it and pretend that it exists.
can this be done better, can this be expanded beleivable? yes after brainstorming several very beleivable same sex romantic possibilities that invovle canonocaly straight characters for fanfic ideas, I beleive it can be and in such a way that makes characters retain their intergrity through all games, not just select few. does ME team have the time and budget for it? (not to mention sensitivity?) I highly doubt it. so if they do write it in, it will be done the same way as ammo clips - it was always this way, and you should just forget that it was ever done differently.
I wish they didn't. its too late to change it now though, regardless of what they decide.
