Well they must of been doing a good job on hiding the gay love in DAO I had no idea it was in the game. Now is it Male vs Male love in Dragon AGe or Female Vs Female?
For some strange reason, the female gay love seems more accepted in todays world then Male And Male.
Not strange at all. Most video game players are men, and many men like lesibian relationships, because, well, two hot chicks, right? While they dislike gay ones because their insecurity causes them to feel threatened.
Naturally, the irony of the idea of being horrified if some dude hits on you is lost on men who probably hit on women all the time.

People should be more concerned about how the story is going to end with what we've already developed thus far.
You imply that those in favor of more options
aren't more concerned about the main story. I am, I'd just like some more latitude in the smaller parts of the story.
Of course, BW
has said ME1 LI's play a big role in ME3, so ME2 (or, potentially, ME3) LI's could very well end up doing the same, so in we could,
right now be concerned about how the story ends up, since (apparently) LI's play a role.

Would people be that interested in talking to other characters if they knew there is no chance of romance? I think romances make RPGs better, but the romance options should be inclusive like in DAO.
I would. I like knowing my squad. Plus, BW put all that time and money into making them! I should put that to good use.
Hell, I even talked with Zaeed all the time and the man doesn't even have a actual dialogue system like everyone else. He's just a NPC standing there.
I do like how he sets all that stuff up and talks about his ****ty rifle and killing a Krogan and whatnot, though.

Just face the facts already. Bioware has established the characters. Putting in a gay relationship will require massive changes, that I'm sure Bioware would not be willing to work-in.
Exactly what i was saying
they can change the lore for their heatsinks for weapons but they cant simply go.... oh yeah shepard is gay now sorry guise, even after all the chicks he banged (most of all our playthoughs)
1. You don't
need to bang everyone. Some people have done this. Not even to have a gay shepard, but to have a
professional Shepard, more concerning with saving the galaxy or squicked by the thought of
****ing an enlistee under his command such as Ashley.
2. Nothing says a Shepard who banged girls before can't suddenly discover he's attracted to men as well. Bisexuality does exist.

As far as I know, it would be irrelevent whether BioWare wanted male on male romances included or not, as the game ratings boards don't allow it.
They have really strict rules on what sexual interaction can be portrayed or implied, (for example only human or humaniod characters may be shown in a sexual manner)
Unless the rules have changed, female on female interactions between human or humanoid characters is ok, but any male on male interactions are prohibited.
I... what?
What drugs are you on man? I want them.
There's no game rating board that can ban your game (at least, not in America and the EU) for having man-on-man romance. Hell, in America you can't even
ban a game at all! The worst that can happen is that the ESRB (which is a private corp., not a government thing) can rate it "A", for Adults Only.
Which they can't really do unless you show
graphic portrayals of sex or truly graphic and horrific violence.
