He needs better bait. Getting trolled is one thing, but I don't even understand what I am being trolled about. Honestly, I don't want to troll. I want to help fix Bioware. I believe a good percentage of their bad press came from alienated hetero males. Non-GG jackasses. These males could have been appeased with a single "Witcher" grade romance options. Ah. Being a Hetero male I'm not sure what would make others feel alienated. Which may explain my confusion. Im not sure what you mean by witcher grade. All the romances in the game are pretty low level stuff. I like you, you like me, let's bang. If that is what annoys you, it has nothing to do with being hetero and more to do with just wanting better romances over all.

I'm pretty sure the OP issue is that he is now questing his sexuality after seeing Liam and Jhaal without shirts and blames BioWare for it.
Got nothing to do with the amount of women he can sleep with in the game.

I'm expecting the admin to swiftly close this bait. Please Moderators serve strict but fair judgement. I dunno. The hypothesis isn't preposterous. Maybe rampant homophobia really does explain a lot of the overblown criticisms. I doubt it, personally. My opinion of gamers is low, but not quite that low. But we shouldn't dismiss the idea out of hand. From time to time, I take a peek at Metacritic reviews, and it's not unusual to find the zeroes contributed by folks who start their diatribes with "SJWs in space" or something along those lines. There tend to be quite a few such "reviews" submitted on release day, so clearly those "reviewers" haven't actually played the game, or very much of it. Actually, the fact that Metacritic even allows zero scores makes their scoring easily skewable by a dedicated bunch of haters - which is why it ought to be ignored.

As a white hetero male I have no idea whats going on in here. Elaborate perhaps, which of my desires are apparently wrong and how am i being fixed?

I know this is a troll post, it has to be, but part of the troll lies in the fact that a hetero might complain a single game says "your desires are wrong, we'll fix them for you," when a gay, on the other hand, has heard that for pretty much their entire life. Worth pointing out, I guess. I'm hoping the unaware irony there was intentional? Yes. Terribly ironic, isn't it? There should be more diversity in gaming. Much more. But it doesn't have come at the expense of the traditional hetero male gamer. What are you implying here? That the mere presence of LBGT stuff comes at your expense? That a woman you don't find pretty comes at your expense? What exactly comes at 'your expense'?

In addition to getting both Peebee and Cora as full fledged romances you also have access to about three other straight romances from side characters. Gay people have 2. You feeling alienated is your own shit, no gay romances are forced upon you, so therefore your only rejection seems to be that they exist in the first place and it makes you uncomfortable. In short, you're an asshole. No. Not at all. I loved the inclusion of gays in the previous Bioware games. And I do sympathize with all those who have been left out for so long. But your hostility here sounds like bitterness and a need for revenge. Ah I see you're trolling.

Proceeding on the very slim chance that OP is not a troll, I think I get your point. The lack of female romance options for male player characters that you find attractive is alienating you and you think that makes other straight men want to criticize other areas of the game.
However, romance content constitutes about five minutes in a game where a single playthrough can over eighty hours. In that context, your argument sounds more like "The only reason I play this game is for my boner, and since they aren't feeding it I'm going to attack everything about it."

Serious post here.
They should consider a toggle option "disable gay romance options" in their future games. It's starting to become uncomfortable at so many occasions that the game is suggesting me to say "I'm interested in you" to my male crew, seeing it pop every time I decide to talk to Gill is not something I want to see.

Honestly, I don't want to troll. I want to help fix Bioware. I believe a good percentage of their bad press came from alienated hetero males. Non-GG jackasses. These males could have been appeased with a single "Witcher" grade romance options. Actually, your whole career here is coming off as a master class in concern trolling. I don't mean that as a criticism. Bio's boards have always lacked high-quality trolling. Ah. I think I understand concern trolling now. Maybe I am a bit guilty of that. But honestly, I do feel Bioware is neglecting a large percentage of the population by not including traditionally attractive females. It's needless and can only hurt them. After DAI, a lot of guys were primed to hate the next Bioware game.

Heaven forbid, don't you know creativity in the CC is disallowed? This limitation is all for the sake of matching Alec to your Ryder - excuse me... matching Alec to SCOTT Ryder, not Sarah. Tsk, if you make Ryder gay, then we have to make Alec gay too. Duh.

Tough it maybe be a bit in your face for recent Bioware (if I may say this word) SJW standards. I'd expect they would hide this toggle option somewhere in the menus for those that really want it. And again, maybe mods? But still. I would like Bioware to think about this. It has gone a bit too far.

That problem is easily solved through the option of not pressing the fucking button... I really don't think a "toggle" is necessary.
