Imagine the uproar if they didn't. Inevitably someone would suggest it was because deep down Bioware really hates lesbians.
Let's be real here. I have been feeling like i'm being forced to be a lesbian by bioware for a while. Usually I'm DOWN lesbians aggressively wanting me IRL, but something in my head goes "NO I WILL NOT BEND TO YOU, BIOWARE".
I just feel like in Mass Effect you are narrowed down to 2 straight options over the course of the 3 games. One of them is an alien, which of course everyone loves. The other one being the only male human left IF he is alive.
So really, one straight guy who is an alien left. But if I'm a lesbian I got two babes, plus kelly for a little cute semi romance canon.
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE UP TO, BIOWARE! YOU WANT ALL WOMEN TO BE BI. And I mean there have almost always been a female bisexual romance in bioware games, for as long as I can remember.
And yes I get that the lesbians were mostly for men who were playing as women, at first. But come on. I guess I'm just a little too rebellious to the point where I reject a lesbian romance just because I know that they were not written for me, but rather for a male playing as a woman.
My main complaint really is that I want to feel like the lesbian options are written by and for women. Not by a guy who wrote a lesbian relationship so that when men roll as women they can still romance a woman.
