Yes, it is different. When you play DA2 for the first time, Isabela lets you know that she will have sex with nearly anything that moves. When you replay the game, you will expect her to be the same character, and to still want to have sex with anyone. This is a trait shared by both versions of the character: the male pc playtrhrough and the female pc playthrough. Iabela acts the same way regardless, and let you know regardless of Hawke´s gender, that she can have sex with any gender.

There is no conflict or contradiction here, in fact, you could plan for it: you play as male hawke, realise that isabela also likes women, and on your next playthrough, you play female hawke in order to have a lesbian romance with isabela. You can plan how a character will react on your next playthrough, because there is no contradiction, it´s the same character.

A different situation would be for Isabela to dislike stealing if your character is female, but then if your character was male, Isabela would like stealing. It wouldn´t make sense for the same character to display opposite views on the same topic. You would be confused when you replayed the game, that now Isabela has changed her opinion with no input on your part: she simply decided that because you are now male, stealing is ok.

This is what happens when the npcs are bisexual, as i said this detracts from replayability but it is also a way to make all romances available to all protagonists.

I'm sorry that you have such a problem with metagaming. I used to have that problem too, and I hope you get the help you need for it.

Man, you have some serious hangups over bisexuality. They are not "a different character" because they like men in one play and women in another. They are the same person, with the same likes and dislikes. They just *happen* not to say "heyo I like men and women". Do you have any idea just how so very *many* bisexual people you probably know that never felt the need to tell you which sex and/or gender gets them going, because it's not your business nor is it relevant? I bet it's a lot, unless you live in a bubble and go out of your way to make sure you know their preferences.

Fenris may like men in my play through (he did, in fact) and in another, he likes women. My pc hit on him to find out, he never brought it up himself. I can handle this just fine, metagaming or no. Being glbt does not make him an inherently different person, and I find it pretty offensive to suggest sexuality changes someone so drastically. Also, comparing sexual preference to whether or not someone likes stealing is pretty damn offensive too. Yes, I am on the glbt spectrum, and probably know a whole lot more about it than you do.

Regardless of how many times this type of threads get locked, it just keep popping up like rabbits. The issue is about fairness, if there are more resources, they would like to do fixed orientation. I don't know how many times they need to repeat this for people to understand.
