Well for the gay character thing we already see those in a famous franchise... Fable. So it's only time before all equalities are brought out.
Fable... Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Fallout: New Vegas, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, GrimGrimoire, maybe Persona 4...
And, of course, Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga.
(OK, I'm kind of joking with that one, but since the Mindread demonstration allowed your female Dragon Knight to think about just how cute her mindreading teacher was
and since that is pretty much the only point in the game where the PC is capable of expressing any kind of sexuality, the female PC can be established as lesbian or bisexual, but not so much straight. Also, Madam Eve.)
