Well, almost everyone was convinced that Vivienne wouldn't be available or lesbian. But since Sera is the lesbian companion, and Bioware said there would be more than before in the romance area, now many have changed their mind and think it might be possible that Vivienne can be romanceable and bisexual.
I only thought Iron Bull was not a romance option. Idk about Sera, I keep thinking "Yeah No" for some reason. Probably just need to get to know her.
anything that has Vivienne as straight is CLEARLY incorrect. HMMPH.
This is my guesses:
Hetero:
Cullen
Vivienne
Bi:
Iron Bull
Cass
Scribbles
Solas
Gay:
Sera
Dorian (no, not because of his clothes, I have a different theory about that)
Straight women in theory could have: Cullen, Iron Bull, and Solas
Straight men could have: Vivenne, Scribbles and Cass
Lesbians have Sera, and in theory could have Scribbles and Cass
Gay men would have Dorian, Solas and Iron Bull
Everyone receives equal content.
Ah that makes sense thanks for spelling out the split for me 
(and I really hope thats close to being accurate I'd be so happy getting Iron Bull or Blackwall as an LI or Dorian but the first two firs and foremost xD)
Though I am also curious about your theory with Dorian as well
Edit: never mind you already explained and I missed it ^^;
DA2 didn't feel like minority groups were an afterthought.
People might've complained about the system (like that guy who wrote the stupid "Straight Male Gamer" article), but I think when all is said and done, people are going to look back on DA2 fondly. It was inclusive, and gave the players room for more imagination. You didn't even give a second thought about creating a character and worrying if/how/when they were going to be gated. It was just something to be enjoyed your own way.
Dragon Age 2 is not actually representative of the majority of video games out there. Most of them are still targeted at straight men. To be honest, speaking as a bi person, I loved that everyone was bi in DA2, but one game in a sea of heteronormativity won't make much of a difference. Developers have to be consistent and active in their efforts for representation, or it means little on a grander scale.
And though I've never played Mass Effect myself, from what I've read about it, it still looks like, at least at first, straight men were the primary demographic.
This isn't to say that BioWare isn't fantastic when it comes to representation compared to pretty much everyone else, but it's a refreshing change for a reason.
This is my guesses:

They weren't necessarily Bi. Like I said, it was partly about your own perspective/imagination. Anders could've been gay. Or straight.
If you want to step out and look at all multiverses, all players, etc.. then yeah, Anders was Bi.
I've made my guesses here before, but I'll post them again, since we're doing that now. 
Cassanra - Straight
Sera - Lesbian
Vivienne - Bisexual
Scribbles - Bisexual NPC
Solas - Straight
Dorian - Gay
Iron Bull - Bisexual
Cullen - Bisexual NPC

Actually, Anders was always bisexual, going back to Awakening. DG got into it on his blog awhile back. Also, Isabela was confirmed as bi via WOG as well. It was Fenris and Merrill that was always stated as ambiguous.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed somewhere that it wasn't player-dependent and they really were all bi.
And I mean, we know Isabela is bi already from Origins, and presumably, Anders had a thing with Karl independently of Hawke. Merrill and Fenris are somewhat up in the air, but I see no reason to believe they aren't all bi, unless you think having a bunch of bi people in one game is a bad thing.
I only thought Iron Bull was not a romance option. Idk about Sera, I keep thinking "Yeah No" for some reason. Probably just need to get to know her.
The same until that line from Patrick weeks in his interview and in the same week, the revelation of David Gaider with the race restrictions.

Fair enough. I thought there had been some intentional thing going on when Anders mentions Karl only in one type of playthrough. As a way to adjust the perspective of the player.
In my perfect world, Cullen and Vivienne are straight because I don't want to romance either of them, and all other LIs are bi or gay.
Bi Cass and gay Dorian please.

This is pretty much how I see it.
I don't see Solas as straight anymore, because like someone told me, there would be only elves for female gamers. I don't think it's likely.

Solas looks like a loner hermit. Just like my own male elf will be.

So Solas would be gay or not an option you think?

I see Solas as Bi with Iron Bull. And Varric might be female exclusive too with Cullen ( who isn't a companion )

Nah, according to the writers, Anders wouldn't have been comfortable about his sexuality enough to mention it to a female Hawke. This has been a sore spot for some of those that play a lot of FemHawkes (or play only FemHawkes.)
I don't see Solas as straight anymore, because like someone told me, there would be only elves for female gamers. I don't think it's likely.
I kept hearing that folks (including me) were almost 100% sure that Sera would be bi because of previous elven companions in DA games. The rumor mill on the forums is a weird place. 
Eh the romances wouldn't be half as fun if we weren't able to go dragonslaying with them
nothing against Cullen and Scribbles don't shoot me
Dragon Age is the best dating sim I've played so far where I get to kill stuff in.

The more I think about it, my final response is "Whatever."
I'm just going to take a break. I'll play grizzled white male trailer Inquisitor who romances Cassandra. And does lots of predictably heroic things.
Maybe it'll still be fun playing someone else's story. Like Paragon Shep and Liara. I'm tired of trying to make my own characters anymore. They won't be done justice.
I look forward to the first hetero character being announced.
I want to hear BSN's interest in them drop like the bass of a Skrillex song.
Jack also walked around nearly topless for much of the series, so I don't think she was that far behind either. I know a lot of people found her utterly irresistible.
But ultimately this is just an example of a different kind of romance, and the fact that they didn't make her Bi just to please the fans was pretty awesome. That said we should probably limit talk of ME romances in this thread since we start skirting Off Topic territory for this Inquisition forum.
Actually, it was the opposite of awesome because they floated her bisexuality out there as part of her "bad girl" thing and then pulled back prior to implementation. It's a trope that's harmful to bisexuals because it plays into the idea that bisexuality is a phase or a passing inclination. I'm not saying the should have made her a bi romance (although they should have), but I will say that the way they handled her sexuality was crappy and deserves no commendation.
