sigh, he was not meant to be bi, they recorded femshep dialogue with Mark meer and they concidered it once the redundant dialogue was done, but discarded the idea, becasue it didn't sound right. and part of it, I think was dued to the way Eden Prime/Citadel flirting/ medbay scene is set up. they are very distinctly favorite femshep, so they would litteraly have to add extra scenes (not just romance scene) and add dialogue to account for that. same with Ashley.
I suggest you look up "intent" in the dictionary. Intent has NO bearing on feasibility or final product. If there was no intent, why record dialogue? THAT is my point. Also, recording booth time can be relatively expensive. If there was NO intent, no recording.
becasue they DIDN't intend. they recorded redundant dialogue becasue at the time, they were STILL using paper and it was faster, easier and cheaper to record all then try to separate out the 5% of the dialogue that was romance specific. and that's how we ended up with male Shepard telling off Harkin about calling him a princes, and asking Liara if she wanted to romance him, despite him being a woman.
as an artists, sometimes things I do end up with unintended result. if the result is good, I end up using it even if its not something I originaly intended. but if it doesn't fit? I discared and remake. this is what they did with ME1. something they did ended up with unintended result so they tried to see if they could use it, but discarded it anyways, becasue it didn't work and they didn't have time to make it work.
You just disproved your own point. A sketch for example, you try different arm poses. The very act of drawing an arm in a dozen different angles before settling on a contrepasto, for example means you have exactly 12 intentions.. Each arm pose was drawn as a possible option. Somewhere along the line people confuse "intent" with concrete finality and even success. And just like the game, you can see various intentions that didn't pan out, by putting that piece of paper in spectrograph or carbon dust you can see strokes that were put down and then erased.
no, you completely misinterpreted what I said as well as the situation.
to take your example - you want to draw an arm, and you keep trying different poses, but the arm is shaping into an alien claw instead. and hey.. that's actualy a pretty cool looking alien claw, something you can use in a different drawing! THIS is the king of unintended, yet useful conseuqence I'm talking about. except in case of ME1 romances, they didn't get a useful claw, they got a misshapen arm that didn't quite fit.
and to reiterate. Kaidan being avaialbel for male shep is not my issue, as much as
how. which is why I'm waiting for the game to come out to find out. but if they give them Tali treatement ("aka I've always loved you and hidden it, no matter how you treated me" copy pasted from femshep romance (whom at least he visibly had a crush on in ME1 ))
the only way for me to keep liking his character is to ignore the romance all together. male OR female.
I'm not like some of you. i don't compartmentalize. the only headcanon i engage in is the one that defines the characters I create. Shepards, Hawkes, Wardens. as hard as I try, i cannot sucessfuly apply the same to characters that were NOT written by me. i tried once for Kaast promt. I felt uncomfortable even with minor changes i made to how events happend in real game.
call it a failing. meh.
