No, for f/f or m/m, just doesn't float my boat....But I am really thrilled the option is finally being given for those thus inclined.

[Heather Cline]

I don't play a male shepard. However for those that do, glad it's being included. I just can't get through a single play through as male shepard.

I'm a gay male so of course it wouldn't bother me. I'm planning on my first import being a straight male Shep though, so I guess that would be the "open minded" option for me..... (my canon Warden is in a lesbian relationship with Leliana as well.)

[CoffeeHolic93]

 If the romance path is well-written then yes I would probably play through it once or twice (Het. Male). I don't get why someone's sexuality would ever be an issue, but y'know. 

[adonfraz]

Nah, my canon male is based off me (a straight male). I'll probably watch YT vids and if it's well done I'll make a gay/bi Shepard.

[FoxHound109]

These replies are refreshing.

I only have one MShep and he's spoken for and straight. I have lots of multiple playthroughs with femsheps but only one main MShep. If I was doing mutliple playthroughs with a male Shepard (and had the time) I would ideally have a couple others - one gay, one to romance Jack.

This!

[Bachi1230]

nah, in DA 2 I never did any of the gay romances don't plan to here.

[Topaz Bee]

Of course. Why not?

I'm asexual, so I could never even dream of roleplaying myself in ME, since BioWare romances are all sexual. So I'm already not caring if any of my Shepards don't entirely mesh with my own orientation. As far as romance itself goes, I tend to prefer s/s, particularly f/f. I'm not entirely sure why, but perhaps it's the difference in dynamic from the o/s relationships we've all seen millions and millions of times in media and such. The dauntless male hero who gets the girl? Been there, done that.

As a plant who reproduces via budding (by far the most hilarious method) I can totally understand where you're coming from.

And suddnely many of your posts make a lot more sense. just kidding

If the LI was to my taste then I'd give it a go, but I haven't met that LI yet. I happily do any f/f romances I can find where the personalities seem to mesh well, and I avoid o/s romances where I don't think they do. To me it's about whether the couple fit together well.

[turian councilor Knockout]

Not my Shep

[frustratemyself]

M/m no because this would require a gender reassignment that I am unwilling to inflict on any of my Shepards. F/f possibly, eventually for the curiosity factor but that would mean ditching Kaidan

[dunfall14]

Yes.

[jamesp81]

In referece to the OP, no.  My Shepard is not gay and doesn't have any romantic interest in other men.

[CERBERUSDEMAN]

Not with my imported one I might make a new shepard and see how the situation plays out though.

No Im straight thank you!

What does this have to do with anything? I'm female, but I have three male Shepards. I didn't suddenly grow a penis, I don't think have gay and lesbian Shepards is going to cause some seismic shift in my psyche either.

I'm also a straight female yet my celibate femshep will be all up on Ashley or Miranda if given a chance. Also, my very first playthrough was with default Sheploo and I had no issue with romancing women with him.

I don't know why it's not obvious to more people that Shepard Is Not You.
(snip)

That's simply how some people play RPGs.  I've noticed two main schools of thought on this.  Some people create an independent personality for their avatars, and think "what would this Shepard do?" every time they were faced with a decision.

Others do essentially a "self insert".  When facing decisions they think "what would I do, what do I think is right?"

The self insert method is not an invalid or inferior way to play it, as you seem to think.  I can't enjoy my RPGs without doing it that way, normally.  For this reason, I will almost always play a hetero/male character.  In order for this method to work, I need to be able to relate to the person on the screen.  Playing female characters and such just doesn't work for me, as I can't relate to them.

The one and only exception this was my female human noble warden in DAO.  Chiefly because the King Alistair / Warden Queen ending to DAO is just so wonderfully and patriotically Ferelden that I couldn't not do that playthrough.

[GarrusV4karian]

I enjoyed the Fenris s/s romance very much and I'm interested in how it turns in ME3

[Lucky Thirteen]

omg, this had gone on for 4 pages and nearly a day and isn't up in flames. remarkable! Everyone is peacefully sharing their opposing opinions! Someone pinch me I must be dreaming!.

Now to actually answer the OP, if I had a male Shepard, I'd consider it. If I make a male Shepard, I will consider it. I have a straight femShep, a gay femShep, why not make things even and create a bisexual male Shepard who is stuck between his feelings for Kaidan and his feelings for Miranda's butt.

[lazuli]

My first playthrough will be a gay male Vanguard on Insanity. Can't wait.

[leggywillow]

If I ever get around to making my Jack Harkness Shepard, then yes.  Otherwise I only have 2 ManSheps and they are both spoken for (Miranda and Ashley).  I do have a FemShep who is single and ready for some non-Liara lesbian action in ME3.

[Celtic Latino]

Possibly one of them whose sexuality I made ambiguous, but only if the s/s option is Mr. Vega.

[Phaffner]

If I were to ever play a male, sure if I found the guy interesting and attractive to me.

I am genuinely stunned. 

Forgot to add before: I'll also be creating another femShep to run through ME/ME2 and await a non-Liara female LI in ME3. 

And if there's more than one male s/s LI - pretty likely - I'll probably make sure I get around to wooing them all, if only to see how Bioware goes with the writing.
