It's funny how many people here have played Pathfinder Kingmaker.

About the 'playersexuality' discussion: It is the convenient, lazy solution. Of course I was angry I had to play a girl to romance Suvi in Mass Effect - the arguably cutest one with an accent to die for. But at the same time, it was adding to her character. If characters always do what the player wants, they are less interesting, less believable. Characters need to disagree or even attack the player.
I'll take lazy over discriminatory policy any day. The issue is that there hasn't been a single game developed that give equal attention to gay characters, it's also heavily one sided toward the straight players, which I already said to be expected as it's the majority of the players. In regard to your example, you have a bunch of choices already, so you just happen to stumble upon a gay character, you could just say that maybe you could go for them, but for the gay characters with limited options, you don't get to have that luxury. There were a big commotion with Mass Effect Andromeda because the options are as you said very LAZY for the gay options, both of the gay options are non companions, computer generated faces, with little contents. The supposed bi option was made for female, during the romantic scene, his eyes didn't look at the male character because he looks down to the height of the females, essentially a lazy mod where they just replace the female with male. There hasn't been a single single game out there that do set sexuality right. I would take lazy over intentionally unequal contents any day.
