Oh no, now I have to play the 'take a shot every time you see a romance thread' even in the off-topic section?! What the hell.
What ghayness! xP
(No, that is not a sexist joke, rather a comment on the use of gay as being a bad thing, and the use of the non-word 'gayness' as meaning something being bad in the eyes of the person saying it. ...It's also a joke based on the BSNer poster's username.)

Surprise me. I'm not picky on sexual preferences. More interested in traits and overall quality of the sub-plots. In terms of personality, I tend to prefer Dark/Serious/Sultry LIs...What sexualities do you want for the LIs in DAI?

Is that referring to where Khayness is most recognisable, or to how we posters should be called now?

Player sexuality is boring. I'd like to see the reverse of that. Where every character is sexually attracted to everyone but the player character.

Welcome to RL! lol jk
With some tight clothes and good fashion I'm a sexy beast too! lol

I'm actually really hoping for it to be harder to get a romance and for characters to be more likely to turn you down unless you've made improtant decisions which they agree with or are impressed by. Hopefully romances will be more influanced by what you do rather than what you say.
As far as making the world a bit more believable(even though they have magic and dragons and such) I would say have a mix of romance options. Not doing so isn't going to be a big deal, but I feel like would add a bit more to the world if the people are diverse in their sexual orientations.
Although to be honest, the best improvement they could make to romance options in my opinion is to flesh out the story arc for them a lot more. It doesn't feel natural to have somebody confessing their undying love for me and ready to tear off their clothes and throw themselves at me after only half a dozen conversations that I've witnessed with them and a couple of gifts.
I voted for 2/2/2 because in a perfect world, I would prefer each character to have a set sexuality simply as another part of their characterization. Now frankly I think 6 LI might be too many for DA:I but whatever.
However, in the real world of having to please as many people as possible, I don't see player sexual as a problem, and its probably the best solution.
My comments here are to do with any Bioware game. Or really any RPG with romantic plotlines.
Full disclosure - I'm a homosexual male. In DA:O so far (I'm not finished it), I've romanced Zevran, but really because options are so few. In ME1 I romanced no one. In ME2 I romanced no one. In ME3 I romanced Kaidan, except that one playthrough where I forgot to trigger his romance so I went with Cortez instead. My boyfriend of 3 years, on the other hand, went with (I think) no one in ME1, but Miranda in ME2 and ME3 - which I disliked, until I saw a much better presented Miranda in Citadel DLC 
.

I picked 2/2/2, though I don't fully go with that. Here's the model I prefer:
-2-3 heterosexual woman LIs
-2-3 heterosexual male LIs
-0-1 bisexual woman LI
-0-1 bisexual male LI
-1 gay woman LI
-1 gay male LI
(the lower numbers are not preferable, but would be tolerated)
Now, 10 romances can be pretty large, so I understand things being cut, but I strongly prefer any major orientation (hetero, ******, bi) to have at least 2 options, not 1.
If some of these romances have to be with non-party characters, I can accept that, but only as long as the LI gets 'full treatment' and at least almost as many conversations and plot involvement. A little flirting does NOT make a true LI.
ME3 is the closest I've seen so far to what I want, even if Cortez and Samantha have an annoying streak to their implementation (much prefer Kaidan and Liara to them).
I don't love playersexual. I think that it's totally fine for at least one LI to be attracted to the protagonist regardless of anything else, but for *all* of them? I can't help but have the feeling that this devalues their characterization. I understand the want for it, and don't automatically begrudge people preferring it.
I'm open to varied other types. For example, if Bioware ever put in one transsexual character, I'd be looking forward to how they implement them. If Bioware ever put in a non-humanoid construct (I dunno, even a being of virtual light? Whatever, just anything), I'd be open to seeing how that works.
But generally, I want hetero/bi/****** players to have at least 2 options to pick from, and I'm okay with hetero players having 1+ more options. To me, that's just how populations work, and having all 3-4 male LIs, for an example, potentially wanting to be with my male protagonist, just strikes me as strange.

Yeah, if there's gonna be less than 6ish LIs, I'll not just tolerate playersexual, I'd outright accept it.
I was 100% for Liara, Kaidan, and Ashley to all be 'bi' (aka in this case playersexual) in ME1. But by ME3, I was okay with Ashley staying hetero. I did want Kaidan to be 'bi', but that's because when it comes down to it, he strikes me as that much more than Ashley (who some may call butch, but from her script it sounds like she's far more into men than any woman). I would have accepted Kaidan to be hetero in ME3 as well, though.

Kaiden being bi in ME3 didn't bother me, but it did strike me as a bit strange that after 2 games he randomly decides that he's bi now without any sort of character arc for it(admittedly he barely gets any screen time in ME2). It's just as though he's always been bi and Shep always knew it, but nobody ever talked about it until now.
They could have had a whole romance story arc that explored that with him.
Although I'll agree that if they have less than ~6 LIs, then player sexual is probably the best route to go to make everybody happy.
Yeah Kaidan can be strange, he just also works. It's the 'if anyone is to be bi, it is this one' situation. He liked a girl in ME1, okay, but he's not getting into detail about it as though that's his only kind of attraction.
It would be amusing if BioWare set up a website that crowd sources attractiveness ratings for all the players' characters, which determines the probability that NPCs will be attracted to them.

Are you saying my inquisitor would not have a heart of gold?

Because for some reason polls can only be posted in off-topic unfortunately. I've requested for that to be changed.
