No troll, there will be no suggesting swooping retcons, swooping is bad. Now scamper and leave us alone.

In my personal opinion, echoing the Enchilada's comment, I think if the option to make characters bisexual came up it should've been from the beginning or not at all. It feels particularly forced and weird for Shepard to be prevented from having those kinds of relationships in ME1 or 2 and now, all of the sudden, s/he is bi come ME3. It feels more like a pander to those groups who really wanted it rather than a serious storytelling decision. I personally am not against such relationships happening in video games. But I don't think it should be put in for the sake of it.

You just said pander.


srsly?

Because that would make ME unrealistic. Really is everyone you meet in real life bisexual? No, most people are straight, some are gay, and even less are bisexual.

[Youknow]

 Because it's apparently unrealistic despite the fact that most humans in Mass Effect aren't Asian looking or more hybrid looking.

Most people I meet aren't blue either and everything I learned in physics tells me nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Unrealistic is good imo.

It wouldn't be swooping most of the characters in Mass Effect 2 give off a bisexual feel.  Or in some cases a straight up homosexual attitude (Jacob).

DA2 had this.  I refer to it as "subjective sexuality."  (I know that this term is arguable, and it's not my main point, so please bear with me.  Basically what I mean is that the characters weren't bisexual, they were Hawkesexual--that is, they would be receptive to Hawke's advances regardless of his or her gender and regardless of their own past experiences and relationships.)

As a (proud!) member of the LGBT community, I was offended by this subjective sexuality perhaps even more than by the absence of same-sex options.  Basically, it suggested to me that sexuality is not relevant to a person's character, and that is so, so wrong and also deeply wounding to me personally.  My preference would be to have characters of heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual orientations, but I recognize that this is problematic in terms of development resources.

I also agree that modifying an existing character's sexuality is not a good solution, although I believe that in the case of certain characters it could be done believably.

tl;dr: No.

In the real world, when you work for terrorists, there are consequences. In the real world, when you die, YOU STAY DEAD. In the real world, when you come back from the dead, YOU DON'T COME BACK FROM THE DEAD, YOU STAY DEAD. And in the real world, we all know this thread is headed for teh lockdownz.

The reapers are just pandering to Deep Ones and cultists.
