Perhaps one of the most notable traits of a Bioware game is the open-endedness both in the story as well as the creation and development of one's character. Your character can be male or female, you can customize your appearance, and your actions affect the outcome of the game.
In some cases, this open-endedness branches out even further in allowing you to romantically pursue a variety of characters who respond to your actions throughout the course of the story. Gamers tend to gobble these features up, but unfortunately, Bioware seems to lack the capacity to expand upon these features to reach their true and powerful potential: sexual equality in the gaming world.

GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
So true. Bioware totally retconned what they said. Such crap.
I still don't understand why Bioware is as popular as they are. It's like no one can see their crap.
"Waaaa! Bioware doesn't write their characters accprding MY sexual tasteees! It's a slight to gay rights I say! I have the RIGHT to be gay in a videogame!!!"
Call the waaambulance before he floods us with tears.
From the article: "Curiously, Bioware has yet to give a satisfactory response on any of the issues presented."
Bioware CEO Ray Muzyka: "Dragon Age is a first person narrative... It's fundamentally about defining your character... In Mass Effect it's more a third person narrative, where you have a pre-defined character who is who he is, or she is... So they're different types of narratives, and that's intentional."
This is a perfectly acceptable response. Jade Empire had guy on guy action. The author's point is moot.
I am so sick of hearing about this. So what if there is no homosexuality. May be no one on the ship was a homosexual even if you wanted to be. STFU. I get so tired of the incessant complaining.
