I really, really, really hope they'll reveal to us which LIs are available to which PC choice before release. It would make this gating system WAY more easy to stomach. I feel pretty certain that there will be at least one LI available to a gay male character that I like, but I don't know if they'll be available regardless what race I pick and I would like to choose my race accordingly. Having a viable LI that appeals to me is like a hundred times more important to me than which race I pick, so this information could effect my enjoyment of the game one way or another in an extreme way. It's just a frustrating prospect to either have to wait a few days for the forums or wiki to determine who is available to who, or to take the chance playing hours into a possible dead end playthrough when it's really easy and totally without cost for them to tell us ahead of time what the availability looks like.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry they haven't already told us. There's still plenty of time to do it. I just hope they will do it before release. I realize it's not the END OF THE WORLD if I have to wait a few days after release to start playing, but it would be so easy to just tell us. I mean, this isn't something that costs Bioware anything. It would be so easy for them to do it. They stand to lose nothing, so why wouldn't they?
