I wanted to find an article about it but i couldn't. Hearing about the Bioware thing that is going on now, I thought i would pose the question.
Are people ready for a gay main character? I don't mean lesbians, because we all know most straight guys wouldn't mind it.
Here are some examples of games that have gay characters:
Valkyria Chronicles
Fable I/II
Jade Empire
KOTOR (I can't remember if there was one in the second)
Deus Ex
Persona 4
Enchanted Arms
GTA4
Fear Effect 2
Fallout
Mass Effect
Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit
Chrono Trigger
Metal Gear Solid 2/3/4
I'm sure there are some i am missing but thats all i can think of now.
So are people ready? I'm not saying the main character has to be overtly gay. I don't mean a stereotype. I mean a regular guy, who has an epic backstory and epic quest, but is gay. Would you play the game if it was that EPIC?
I don't want to make people mad or anything, i'm sure i will with this statement, but i have seen people say Marcus Fenix of Gears could be gay. I have never played the game so you will have to enlighten me.
Would find Nathans sense of humor less funny in Uncharted if Nathan Drake was a "guys man" instead of a "ladies man?"
If in Dead Space instead of Isaac Clarke was going after his boyfriend instead of his girlfriend would you have liked it less?
Edit: Added more games
