Bioware writer eloquently defends DA2′s sexuality balance
It wasn’t so long ago that Bioware made the news due to the romantic elements in their recent games (what right wing news broadcasters called “virtual rape”) and when one fan calls them out for not offering enough choice for “straight males” in their recent title Dragon Age II, yet they offer a ‘gay option,’ one of Bioware’s lead writers personally responds and doesn’t hold any punches.

It’s another small step for an industry gradually acknowledging gay gamers and gay rights (yes Microsoft, gay people do exist.) It’s just a shame Bioware refuses to apply this logic to the Mass Effect series.

@ Neil, Thane would have made a very nice gay or bisexual character.

I heard it was quite an offensive representation though Chris? I haven’t seen the content myself mind.

Well that’s the thing, should we celebrate the inclusion of gay characters when they’re made to be stereotypes? I haven’t seen/played it too but I’ve heard things. I do like what the lead writer had to say though.
