Bioware won't leave gay characters out of their RPGs

[Egann]

Hey, now. I want Bioware to be careful. They might put too much RPG Adventure in my Porno game.


Let's be honest: Bioware does this because they think including a token gay sex scene 90% of players will never seek out will ship more copies to the 10% who will. Maybe they're right.

All I know is that I find the fact that the game even *has* sex scenes included a bit distracting. Which one is better at emotionally involving the player; a gay sex scene, or a side-quest to unite a gay couple? Think if Kafei and Anju in Majora's Mask had been a gay couple.

I'm firmly in the latter camp, and I think Bioware's lazy about this. Sex scenes don't actually add emotional depth to the game, and they do not count as character development. Everything leading up to it, maybe, but not the sex itself.

Of course, Bioware can't seem to wrap their teeny brain-stems around the idea of a "say nothing" prompt. No, you must either be a loose cannon or have a stick up your ass. And we can make that one literal! HA!
