Suddenly making all old characters bi is equally cheap. Every character should be unique, and if all LIs are bi, the lines between begin to blur.
I guess I just put more stock in a character's development outside of 'who do they want to sleep with'.

It stops being "likes a certain kind of woman/man/person" and starts being "likes Shepard." Choice in Shepard's gender matters less, and customization seems hollow.
That makes no sense, sorry. It's as if you are saying bisexual = Shepardsexual and they must have tunnel vision when it comes to love.
Also, choice in Shepard's gender all ready matters squat. People still have preferences though for one of the other, but that's not based on anything that happens in game.

I would totally support an exclusive m/m or f/f option for that reason. However, I am not against a couple bi options-those would be great fun. But everyone? Really? Aren't Shepard's powers of charmidation potent enough already?
There's two different ways to look at it...looking meta and at all the possible romances Shepard can do, you can say, "Oh look, Shepard is such a charmer...look at all the peeps he/she can possibly bed" and if you want to RP the galaxy's biggest bachelor/bachelorette and bed all of them in on PT then that's fine. I don't see it that way...in game, the LIs I don't pursue just are never interested in Shepard...only the ones I do actually pursue are interested. The entire game plays like this to an extent...there are many alternate possibilites with Shepard and most of them I don't pursue and will never pursue, like killing Shiala. Just b/c it's a possible option doesn't mean my Shepard is a douche for it being an option, even if I don' t take it.

And why the hell would they clone old characters?
That was just a counter argument.
