 If i remember correctly, all the romance options in DA2 were for either a male or female hawke. 

 This might sound great at first, everybody can romance every character, but not all characters should be bisexual. There should be at least one straight and one gay/lesbian romance available for each character that one cannot achieve with an opposite-gendered character. Bisexuality does not make sense for every character.

For example, in DAO Awakening, Anders was a completely different character who only voiced opinions about women (and very often!). In DA2, he is all of a sudden bisexual. (And has a new personality). This bothered me. I love having more gay/lesbian romance options in any game, but we don't need every single character to be interested in both genders. I'm glad that in the bioware universe sexuality is an open subject, but in reality not everybody fits the same sexual identity. 

 I much preferred how in Mass Effect 3 there were exclusively straight characters, exclusively gay/lesbian characters, and some bisexual characters. Traynor and Steve were excellent characters, and if they had been bisexual it would not have fit properly in my eyes. 

Also i'm not totally opposed to a Jade Empire style polygamous romance... not everybody is monogamous. That's another issue though 


EDIT: A great idea formed in the thread was to have romances limited by morality.
EX: If you kill every mage you meet, your mage companion would be less willing to enter a romance with you. 
Think about it Bioware!

Give them personalities first, sexualities second.

Which is exactly what's done.

Gaider can put things more eloquently than I, but essentially it's a low cost way to help make our game more interesting to a group of people that typically find themselves marginalized.

In my opinion, if the relationship can only be deduced as being "bisexual" with metaknowledge, then I have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever and continue to support it.


Having said that, given people have already started to toss around woeful stereotypes, I'm locking this one down before it gets more out of hand.
