OMG I totally hear you on the no gay options in the first two games – I think it speaks volumes that some people find homosexuality/bisexuality more unacceptable/unbelievable than SEX WITH BLUE ALIENS. I mean seriously! But I commend Bioware on finally making the move to include non-hetero relationships in the third game and I wish more game studios would follow suit.

I know – you didn’t offend me – it just brought up bad memories.
I wish he was available from the start – I liked him – he just seemed like the kind of guy you could settle down with. :D I know a lot of people think of Kaidan as boring, but I always found him sweet – and kinda normal. I liked that…

Regardless some bisexual people are just like that. I like to imagine Kaidan is just more attracted to women over-all so he didn’t think much of his attraction to MShep. Or perhaps heteronorm assumptions aren’t completely gone from human society in ME so he just assumed that Shepard was straight. The near death experience made him realize he needed to take a chance (particularly after he thinks MShep might have been flirting with him).

Or (most-likely) both. Either way I think it just proves that everyone is Shepardsexual in the end.

(Although I will point out the obvious reason 1 and 2 don’t have MALE gay options is simply because the didn’t wanna offended heterosexual men)

Anything is possible :) I don’t mean to offend you with my observation, I just thought it was really abrupt that Kaidan showed zero interest and it never came up in the first 2 games. They should have made him attracted to MShep from the beginning like everyone else in the game was! After all, the only true sexuality in ME is “Shepardsexual” :D

i agree with that state ment haveing standards in a game would be epic and frustrateing as all hell at the same exact time but i’d love it cause it would give a whole new level of emersion to the game imagine in skyrim even you go to wue the person you want to marry but they aren’t attracted to elves? or your not their type omg it would be so hilarious and sometimes people may say nay at first but after talking to them and what not it becomes a yey like you said for hte super straight turned super gay anyhtign is possible but for npcs to have actual attractions would be epic XD i’d love it especially if alenko fell over laughing at how ugly your character was XD

He (and Ashley too) was originally intended to be available to either gender before it got cut in the first game. My guess is they just decided “Kaiden is bi and Ashley is straight” by the third game.

I’m sure it wasn’t your intention, but I am so sick of the “turned him gay” jokes (and sometimes insults) and it just kinda drained my mood when I read that one….

Otherwise – this is all very funny. :)
Particularly “Mass murder is a forgivable character flaw.” – He likes kitties and he’s cute – so it’s okay in my book… :D [thumbs up]

OMG I totally never even thought of that ahahahahahha
