I know it's completely vogue to make love interests bisexual these days, but I really want to see a real homosexual in ME3. A man or woman who would reject the advances of the opposite sex. A man or woman who isn't afraid to say that yes, he/she is gay, and they don't like women or men. 

Radical idea, I know, but it would make some of the homosexual romances a little more believable. A gay-only character. What do you guys think?

Do it. Don't touch Ashley or Kaidan.


....Is what I would like to say, but that has been suggested already. It's "not enough" for the yaoigirls. So, F THAT. You guys don't get features just because. Selfish little girls.

JESUS CHRIST!

It's even less funny the 4th time someone makes a redundant thread in the span of an hour.

[SilentNukee]

So many gay threads...

WEE!

[CheeseEnchilada]

This won't end well. At all.

But I do agree. I'd love to see it, but I won't get my hopes up.

Nothing radical about it, people have been campaigning for this since the beginning. But of course if they did that then people would STILL b*tch about not getting to romance who they want. I'm all for it, the only real homosexual we've seen in a Bioware game so far was Juhani.

*splashes around in latest gay thread*

I'm actually okay with the OPs idea though. Gay characters would be good. Bisexual characters are good too. I even like straight characters. I say, how about "all of the above" whenever possible?

Resources. The number of gay players is very small. It's simple not enough to justify wasting money on a homosexual character - they won't have profit. Making them bisexual means that they'll have a profit and the gay players will be able to enjoy a s/s romance. It's less about 'daring' and more about money.

Never happen. If you think we are ****ing just wait to you see the straight people cry about gay only characters.

People will still buy the game regardless of whether or not it has homosexual characters or not. Your logic is flawed.

*sigh* Think with me, friend: wasting money on a homosexual only character mean they can't waste it on other things, like gameplay. Gameplay is used by everybody. They need a reason to take this money and use on another thing. As I said, the number of gay players is too small to justify it.

And you decided to make a new thread which will inevitably get closed and attract trolls, why exactly?

In a perfect world, sure.

But there are zots to consider. I personally have zero interest whatsoever in S/S romances in ME3 or any other BioWare game, but in recognizing that others do, I wholeheartedly endorse giving them access to it in a manner which requires the least amount of zots. Which is, quite simply, to make love interests bisexual (or ProtagonistSexual). It's not "shallow," it makes efficient use of limited resources to appeal to the broadest possible customer base.

It doesn't harm me in the least, and it lets people who prefer S/S romances enjoy the love-interest content just as I do. Those who do claim it harms them need - and often, immediately have - their motivations scrutinized.

Personally, I find many of the arguments against S/S inclusion in BioWare games as inherently selfish, considering that those in favor of them simply ask to be able to experience romance storylines with the same relatability and sexual preference that others in the majority take for granted.

Keep in mind that when you argue for a new gay (or even a new bisexual) character to be written to "appeal to the S/S crowd" you are endorsing directing zots away from existing characters to new ones for the express purpose of giving "those people" someone to sleep with. I maintain it is in the interests of players who have little to no interest in S/S romances to support ProtagonistSexual or bisexual love interests because it costs few zots to accomplish an inclusive goal.

The writers' and programmers' salaries are sunk costs. They are already being paid. Yes, time is involved, but it's quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things, since the game has already been budgeted for.

It's less about the salary and more about making a good, polished game, actually.

From what I gather bisexuals are sort of the poor human's gay/straight.  it makes me sad.

[falconlord5]

Likely? No.

Freakin' hilarious if they did? Oh, yeah.
