As long as it was tasteful and not just so he's gay, so that it actually had relevance to the plot then yes.
Sure. i would especially like it if it was done in a humorous way (like a 'cockslap attack' in a MMORPG or something.

If it's an HBO-Showtime sort of vibe where the protagonist's sexual orientation has more to do with the developer's pretentiousness quota than a statement about our culture, no.
Otherwise, yes and yawn.

So long as the character isn't defined solely by their sexuality I have no problem with it. Just like real life.
Anyone in the real world who acts like a flaming gay stereotype just needs to be punched. I know quite a few gay people. None fall into this stereotype. I am friends with none of these people. Not because they are gay, but because they aren't the type of people I would want to associate with.

OT: Yeah, as long as it wasn't a totally "OMG THIS GUY IS GAY, THIS IS SUCH AN INTRESTING GAME. LOOK: HE DOES LOADS OF GAY STUFF WITH GAY MEN AND LOADS OF GAY THINGS TO TALK ABOUT AND DO!!!!
If it was "okay, your character is gay, and he may have or develop a relationship with another man, now let's get on with the story" then I'd be fine. But I just KNOW that the first mainstream full-release game with a gay main character would pump up the emphasis on how GAY this GAY GUY is and how BRILLIANT and CARING the studio is for pointing out he's GAY every other minute in really uncomfertable ways
A characters sexual orientation shouldn't be an issue in a game, maybe only in a RPG and then you should have to chose which way to go, and I most likely wouldn't play a gay char.
So I guess no I wouldn't play a game with a gay main character.. why ? because it would probably feel forced, I mean ... what is the point of making him gay ? does that make the story better, is the character better because of it ? .. having a gay character just for the sake of him being gay is dumb and pointless, and it probably wouldn't be a very good game if it centers around the fact that he is gay.

The responses confuse me.
Why not have a gay character just because?
Aren't all games having straight characters just because?
Because its so fucking easy to relate to a video game characters.

Would you play a game with a straight main character? Would you play a game with a main character which has blue eyes? I doubt sexual preference would have a real impact on the game.
Sure, assuming the game was good.
Although I would prefer if it didn't have sex scenes. When all else is said and done I really don't want to watch a couple of guys getting it on. It's much the same as how I wouldn't want to see my parents getting cozy.

(Didn't read topic) I'm fine with it, I already am- my male elf in DA:O banged Zevran just a few nights ago.
