That's exactly what you're doing. If your quota for repetitive writing is that they mention character X is sexually inexperienced twice, then yes your idea fails. Everyone has a different level before they consider writing repetitive, hence my questions: Isabele'a and Zevran's love of sex comes up quite a bit. Was that repetitive? Jack in Mass Effect uses the F-word quite a bit. Was that repetitive? Repetitive writing does suck, what's not clear is why you expect me to have the same quota as you. None of those reached the point of growing tiresome for me, though others might disagree.
Having the same interaction but splicing in another character just to highlight each party member's sexuality is transparant as h*ll and yes repetitive especially since you then have to figure out where each of this dialouge goes and whether or not it makes sense to even put it in there. Perhaps it would work if the player had Bethnay, Isabella and Merrill in their party. Other than that it sounds repetitive and stupid. Mentioning two different characters in two different games does not prove your point. Actually, people have complained in this thread that Zevran and Isabella are bisexual stereotypes which means that the whole "I have sex with everybody" thing was probably redundant to a few people even though it was done in two different games. Yes Jack using the F word a lot was repetitive, the girl had no freaking vocabulary. If you have to have your character running around cursing all the time it's probably because you have nothing else for them to say. Just look at people's complaints about Dante's dialouge in the DMC reboot. It's a far cry from the intelligent and witty Dante we've had in the previous games. I don't care if you have the same quota as me. It's obvious that you don't consider it repetitive. I simply gave my opinion that disagreed with you.
On its own? Absolutely not. It would be like saying Sten is fleshed out because he loves cookies. That alone doesn't flesh him out, it adds to a sea of traits which any respective character possesses.
Then make such a stink over it? It's a small trait that quite frankly isn't even removed, just altered based on your own perception of what the character is or isn't.
A playersexual character is someone who sleeps with the PC "just because". They don't have a defined sexuality, their sexuality changes as per authorial intent. They exist within alternate universes. "Oh, here Merrill is straight, here Merrill is bi".
All of the LIs can be described in the exact same manner. Every PC comes with a package of LIs who are romanceable just because you are the PC. That does not mean you can "romance" them all in one game and in certain cases you can blow it completely with them. Who says Merrill is straight or bi? Just because YOU state that Merrill is straight here and bi there does not make it so. That is you adding your own labels to a character. Like I said before, there is a possiblity that the elves have no sexual orientation at all, DA could have different names and different meanings for their sexualities than you do. How do you know Merrill isn't pansexual or demisexual instead? Or perhaps you could role play her as being strictly straight but willing to be with FHawke because she has fallen for her specifically.
A character influenced by the PC into a certain direction is not player-sexual. It's like how Ashley has a set starting point on how she feels about aliens and humanity's position in the galaxy. In ME1, you have the ability to influence this via dialogue. This would be much crappier if Ashley's beliefs regarding aliens and the Council changed every playthrough to always reflect how Shepard feels.
I don't see how it's so different, in the end her views change to relfect the PC's opinions. Now if another squadmate like Garrus or Tali or Liara influenced her to change that would mean more to me, otherwise it's no different than the typical PC has to "fix" someone and put them on the "right" path. But then again I can't speak for Ash's changed opinions, I kill her off on Virmire.
That is what playersexual is the equivalent of. Characters magically have opinion X, Sexuality Y, or Trait Z merely because the PC takes that position. Characters slowly changing their position in response to PC influence is quite different than merely being player-sexual and goes beyond the PC being so special merely by being the PC.
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, I don't don't see your request as anything different than what you are already complaining about.
No, she doesn't. She sleeps with the main character because the main character chooses x, y, or z dialogue in order to slowly push her in a certain direction.
No different than being a "playersexual" character in my(no really,
your) book.
Make all characters who can be LIs openly bisexual seems the obvious choice. This nullifies player-sexual romances and still allows everyone to romance all characters, as asked for.
I like the "Crying Game" idea better.
