That idea could also be accommodated as required. A player could choose Paragon, Renegade, None, or Open (resulting in the current setup we've experienced in the ME games).
At what point does this game then stop becoming a roleplaying game and start becoming a Choose Your Own Adventure Read Along Book With Shooting Scenes? You're being obtuse.

Some people appear hell bent on turning this entertainment medium in to a crusade for the type of world they desire to see in real life. As JohnnyDollar has already pointed out that is not the role of the ME games nor games in general. Nor for businesses in general.
Positive portrayal in media has a
massive impact on social views of oppressed minorities. To suggest otherwise betrays a lack of academic knowledge in the fields of sociology and advertising. Bioware is under no obligation to be inclusive - but they have been in the past. It is absolutely within me right to continue to encourage them to be so; by purchasing their games when they are so, and by vocally informing them that I disapprove when they aren't.

Beliefs and opinions, despite what some people seem to believe in this country, are not universally equal. I know this is hard to understand, but asking for equal representation in media is
not the same thing as oppressively demanding a minority be excluded. There is a pretty significant difference between the two.
The_KFD_Case wrote...I have little problem with people expressing their desires regarding including or excluding s/s LIs in this thread, however if one is so determined to bring about a change in views regarding sexual orientations, etc. perhaps the time and effort spent in this forum pursuing such an outcome would be put to more effective use pursuing said outcome in the real world. You know, the world that you actually live in and have to deal with on a daily basis one way or another.
Did you honestly just ask me to show my "GLBT Activist Street Cred Card"?
Alright, we'll play that game. In the last 3 years I have spent what likely amounts to ~60 hours a week involved in a variety of campaigns involved in the furthering of equality for myself and the rest of my GLBT brothers and sisters. The work I've done at my University has changed their hiring and recruitment policies to be LGBT Inclusive. I spearheaded the creation of SAFE-Spaces for GLBT peoples on campus. I volunteer at Triangle, a Michigan based GLBT Legal Advocacy firm. I have participated in the crafting of studies for several Michigan based GLBT-Research firms, to show legalsatures the damage discrimination and exclusion does to GLBT individuals. I've phone banked for every major Anti-Gay marriage prop 8 esque campaign, from Maine to California. I protested, marched, and lobbied in Kalamazoo when they passed their Equal Housing and Employment ordinance for GLBT people. I drove 1300 miles to Washington D.C to participate in National Equality March.
I am more than able to devote a significant portion of my time to promoting social equality and still find the 5 minutes a day it takes me to browse and post in threads like this. I know, it's shocking, but spending time persuing social change in one aspect of society doesn't preclude me from persuing it in others. In fact, I can persue multiple avenues
at the same time.

Someone can turn of the homosexuality if they didn't want it. And someone else could turn on all the characters to be bi.
