I can see how people who went with the Steve romance would not see Steve as a "minor" character as I described him, but the problem is that Steve only becomes a significant character if you romance him. Think about what the character would be like if he could not be romanced at all. Basically a nobody. Just another wallpaper character like Kenneth and Gabriela... actually even less relevant than them because they at least have been around since ME2.
The problem here is that Bioware put the gay romance into a character with absolutely no development at all other than the romance story, making him seem like a major character to gay players but a completely empty character to straight players. Now he's featured in a DLC, and that may be great for gay players but straight players are like "Who? Him?"
What are you talking about? His entire story is avaidable regardless of romance, you have to opt into the romance in the club, everything up to then had been his personal story. His development arc is about him moving on, in the club you can help him mobe on by being his lover or his friend/support. He is featured in a large majoirty of missions and is definatkey not a wallpaper character.
Well, it may seem that way to you, but unfortunately from a straight gamer's perspective the romance starts way before that, especially considering how "accidental romance" is known to happen in other Bioware games. So the straight gamer doesn't go to the club with Steve, doesn't offer a shoulder for him to cry on, or any of that. It's basically, "Oh your husband died? That sucks bro. So how's my shuttle?"
I agree he does have a line or two on some of the missions, so maybe that makes him a little more relevant than Gabby and Kenneth, but not much.
