Would anyone actually be bothered if a gay character was added? I mean, if it didn't come off like it was trying to push an agenda or make it this big thing that is. We have Moenbryda's parents, Fourchenault and Ameliance, Dulia-Chai and Chai-Nuzz, etc... Some single but flirty characters like Thancred and Magnai. And there's probably more that I can't remember at this moment.

People tend to be pretty good at picking out when character has genuinely good characterization, or when they are shoehorned in to preach an ideology. But the thing is, you can't have a gay character with good characterization if they don't exist in the first place, right? Relationships and romance aren't important in this game at all, but they do exist in some small part.

Now that I think about it, weren't there gay characters in the wanderer's palace story line? So it's not like it doesn't already exist in the game.
