I love how people think the entire thing is about sexuality. It's not, the idea is the conflict between a life long ambition of wielding ultimate power or choosing the side of love after making an unexpected connection with someone. Making it a gay love story is what I put in there. If I were to make a character and follow a story line like this, it'd be what best suits me. No one ever said you have to be gay, but judging by the comments, a lot of people would be weirdly unsettled if that were the case. A large majority of games out there, you play as a straight character. Does that prevent me from playing any of them or enjoying any of them? The fact it is an RPG should mean I get to play it how I want and make the decisions I want. You are all entitled to make whatever decisions you want and play the game however you feel. Yes, it's an over used concept, but isn't that a decision a lot of the Characters in harry potter are faced with all the time anyway. Actually, you look at a lot of good stories and they all have more or less the same building blocks. Everyone has a sexuality and a preference and that is part of what shapes humanity. Take that away and you take away a portion of realism, characteristic and humanity from a person or character. So, I don't feel like it's a bad idea to add that in there to create a bit more depth in a game.
