Morrigan is a great character, but her outfit always made me uncomfortable during dialog. She's a great character (in fact out of all the playable characters, she's probably my favorite), I just got uncomfortable staring at her barely covered boobs during all of her dialog sequences is all.
The romances in the game are not for "the straight male gamer". They're for everyone. We have a lot of fans, many of whom are neither straight nor male, and they deserve no less attention. ...And if there is any doubt why such an opinion might be met with hostility, it has to do with privilege. You can write it off as "political correctness" if you wish, but the truth is that privilege always lies with the majority. They're so used to being catered to that they see the lack of catering as an imbalance. Amen! This is why I love Bioware, despite their occasional missteps. They wrote an openly lesbian party member in 2003, and they continue to push boundaries. Steve Cortez was the best part of Mass Effect 3. Remember when the internet went nuts that Commander Shepard was gay? Bioware stood behind their decision to make a gay-only romance option, and then did it again in Inquisition. That, and they refer to characters romancable by both gendered Grey Wardens/Hawkes as bisexual, not "playersexual".
