So in the end I find the game is FULLY capable of having ALL characters "going both ways" which IMO they should have allowed from the start.. Now any RPGers, str8, gay, lesbian, bi, etc can romance their fav character and FULLY enjoy the game 
good find. But I don't think you actually understand "rpg." Allistair is straight. He is a character in a world that you are playing a role in. If he doesn't have any interest in having sex with other men then he doesn't have any interest in having sex with other men. Likewise for Morrigan.
Bioware doesn't write "sandbox" RPGs, where it's you and a world to exploit. It's your character, in a world full of other characters. Allistair is supposed to feel like a real person. So is Morrigan. So is Lelianna. So is Zevran. It makes perfect sense that Lelianna would go either way with her background. She's probably had to seduce as many women as men before she stole their secrets. It makes perfect sense Zevran would go either way. He's probably had to seduce as many men as women before he slit their throats. It makes perfect sense that Morrigan is straight. Flemeth is straight and anything Flemeth says is the word of God. She's interested in power and men generally garner that. It makes perfect sense that Allistair is straight. He was a Templar. Religious zealots and all that...
Actually I VERY MUCH understand RPG, and the game IS coded for Alistair to date men in the game, but for some reason BW took it out at the last minute.
As far as understanding RPG.. go take an old D&D game... a GM makes his or her own rules and world. That's what BW has giving us... a game where we can be the GM and take control, chose our fates and alter the game's "reality" if we chose.
all the dialogue and other things and present in the game for a M/M relationship with alistair.. even Morrigan talks has sex and behaves differently with a woman. So the coding and scripting is in the game also. It was probably put it so people could write modules to suit player's needs.
And Alistair straight? Just listen to the man talk about his clothes, pillow fights... how more sterotypical gay can you get? ALL BW had to do in a M/M relationship is DUMP the male if he became king or keep him on a a lover. He never completed being a templar and is HARDLY a zealot LOL.
But this is an OPEN ended RPG, one that was MADE to be user configurable and modded... otherwise there wouldn't BE a tool set and a modding community that BW itself has set up for the game.
This game is designed for the players to make it what THEY chose and if we chose to tell or experience a different story than what BW came up... then that's our own business.
Otherwise, in most other games, I would agree with you
