As the title says, Dorian gets credit for being the first gay character from Bioware but Sera was homosexual as well and she was in the same game and could actually be recruited before Dorian.

Also Traynor and Steve Cortez in ME3 were homosexual.

So why all the spotlight on Dorian?

If you're referring to the recent IGN article, you'll note that the author calls Dorian "gaming's breakout gay character". He never calls him BioWare's first (he points out correctly that it is, in fact, Juhani). Why he considers Dorian a breakout character, I believe he explains well enough, but those are his words and not mine. I have never said Dorian was BioWare's first, and I'm not sure where you're reading that he was.

 

As for why Dorian receives the attention, I'm not sure. If you consider one IGN article to be "all the spotlight", I guess it's because the author of the article was interested. He contacted me and asked if he could interview me about Dorian, and I agreed. It's nothing BioWare set up, and we've no need to promote characters in games that were released almost a year ago.

 

I'd love it if someone chose to write something about Sera or Steve or Samantha -- but I'll take someone being interested enough to write about one character than telling them that they're somehow not being "fair" by not writing about them all and refuse.
