I hear ya there. Now, I'm a straight male, but as a rule I generally play female characters in computer games that offer a choice. Why? Because they generally get the more attractive costumes. But again the limited romance problem seems to be prolific: even a female lead character can't romance the male ones!

On the other hand it's better than Fable. It was possible to develop a male-male relationship in that, but in the 'Fade to Black' pseudo-sex scenes, it sounded like the poor guy was in serious distress! What kind of message is THAT sending?
