And though I would personally prefer that we don't make this thread into another pitstop for the same-sex LI debate, it is very possible that Kaidan will be one of the same sex romances available in ME3. Speculation about that aspect of his character is valid.
Well, the issue of Kaidan's sexuality is bound to come up. It's a Kaidan-specific thread. So long as we keep the same-sex talk limited to Kaidan, instead of branching out into the overarching subject of
all same-sex romances, we should be okay.
Now, the way I see it... If Kaidan's going to be a same-sex option, it'll be because he's an option for femSheps who
didn't romance him in ME1.
Maybe your femShep just wasn't feeling Kaidan in ME1. Or maybe you started the series with ME2 and none of the ME2 love-interests really did it for you. Either way, come ME3, your femShep is single. And, for whatever reason, she starts to show a romantic interest in Kaidan. There will definitely be a conversation about "Why now? We've known each other for so long. Why did we wait until the Reapers were at our doorstep to finally say how we feel for one another?"
I mean, come on. That's bound to happen. I doubt that Kaidan-romance will be restricted to femSheps who romanced him back in ME1, or femSheps who used the pre-game comic to establish and existing relationship with him. There's bound to be people who go into ME3 single.
So, if Bioware is going to go there anyway, why
not go there with manShep? The dialogue could easily be stretched to accomidate manShep. Would that be my preferred means of implementing same-sex content? No. But from Bioware's perspective, that would be a good way to get the most out of their reasources, and I could easily see them doing so.
