It's cause Ash is a Christian
I'm not trying to start a flame war here, so hear me out. (I also don't know if you're being serious, so I'm pretending you are.)
"Religious" isn't synonymous with "heterosexual", and I always tick an eyebrow when people give this as a reason why Ash couldn't be a bisexual LI. I have several gay/bisexual friends who are perfectly secure in their religious beliefs.
Hell, if Bioware wants to go that route, they can have Ash struggle with her religion vs. her sexual orientation. I can see why they might not want to, though, given the vast amount of media panties that would twist and then fly off into space.
Anyway, my point is that her being Christian shouldn't have anything to do with her being a bisexual LI.
Agreed .
Ash shouldn't be bi in the first place.
She has respect for strong male figures like her dad, grandfather, and Anderson and wants the approval of men. Plus she has three sisters and I'm sure they competed with each other for men..
Ash being bi would come out of left field
If she's bi it wouldn't ruin the game, it would just annoy me
I'm confused ... what point makes her not able to be gay or bi?
Gay women can be a daddy's girl
Gay women have sisters
Gay women go to church
In fact, there are even gay women who wear dresses, make-up and hate sports
For me, Ash would be a great choice if you are playing the Mass Effect trilogy as one complete story.
Act 1 (ME): Shepard & Ash meet. They develop a respect for each other that moves into friendship. My Shepard has feelings but keeps them in check afraid that she will be rejected. She's gutsy on the field but a coward in love.
Act 2 (ME2): Clash on Horizon. A big part of it is due to feelings that both feel but are unable to express. This leads to absolute breakdown in the dialogue ... stupid, stupid Horizon.
Act 3 (ME3): Ash isn't good with expressing her feelings and neither is my Shepard ... coming out with how they feel would be clumsy and raw.

Bringing someone new would be okay ... but for me I would like the relationship to be part of the overall story. I also like stories where the love is kept hidden and/or not embraced until the end.
That is probably why I love "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
