Ok, I'm a new guy here, and I registered to post a LP of an indie game, Immortal Defense, which is totally awesome. You should play it. But I guess I had to create my own trolling thread about gay romances in DA and other Bioware games (so as to become a REAL member of the RPGCodex).
I DON'T LIKE Bioware's romances at all. They are bad, at least in my opinion. In previous threads, people argued Bioware should use their money to add more C&C to their game rather than romances. I mostly agree.
However, I don't know what to say about how much homophobia I've read in the threads, except: you guys are VERY dumb. I understand (I guess...) the forums here are some kind of free space to just shout how you don't like fags. Well guess what, I'm a gay male who played CRPG's in the 90's, and thanks to the Codex' forums, I discovered games like VtmB and KotC, and enjoyed them, and fuck you too. And if you are interested, and somewhat sexy, please send me a picture of you naked, with a close-up on your ass.
Ok back to the subject: I think bashing gay romance is a bit dumb. Gay romances in Bioware's games are not a waste of ressources at all. When Zevran or Lelianna are having a gay romance with the PC, they're delivering exactly the same lines regardless of the gender of the PC. This didn't cost anything, except maybe the actors saying their lines twice with some words like "man" or "his" replaced by "woman" or "her".
You guys would perhaps be right if there were some romances for exclusively gay NPCs, but in Bioware games, every character is either straight or bisexual. They did once an exclusively lesbian character, this was Juhani in KOTOR, all other non straight characters of Biowares were bisexuals and they delivered exactly the same dialogue to both genders. Show me the waste of money!
There is indeed one game I can think of where the male PC was proposed a gay romance, whereas the female PC was not. This would be ToEE.
