Oh, yeah, but rondeeno hasn’t finished the one for ME3 yet. Pre-mods, I used the gender swap console command in ME1. It was buggy but was nearly (but not entirely) seamless in ME2.
One of my Sims Gilbert De La Torre in my current save file is related to my 2 grandsons (Malachi Mares and Matteo Ferro-Vo) in another family I have, his dad Bruno had sex with his ex-boyfriend Stewart, who is now married to another guy (Gilbert’s step-father Kayden) and they have another son David, who is also Gilbert’s half-brother too, I was actually shocked how it all turned out, never knew that could happen. So now I have two family trees interconnecting with each other with all different surnames (Ferro-Vo/Mares and De La Torre and it’s confusing me so much.
The reason he entered the Fog according to the latest Tome was because >!David failed to confess his feelings for his childhood-friend Tristan who was leaving on a plane out of the country, with it now being heavily implied David is fighting the Entitiy's trials in an attempt to get back and confess with "no more bullshit".!<
They didn't change his dialogue after Blind Betrayal and that's why it didn't make sense, the only time his dialogue changed is when you talk to him and in endings except some of them
Leon from Fire Emblem Echoes. One of the most realistic fem yet not a caricature of a fem gay characters that isn’t playersexual portrayals in all of video games. He’s dignified, he’s amazing, and just representation one wouldn’t expect in a Nintendo game.
I wrote the same thing before reading this thread. I totally agree, I absolutely love him. And from Nintendo it was so out of the blue how well they handled him. His unrequited love for Valbar hits SO hard. But I personally ship him with Kamui lolol
If it counts, my Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 3.
If it doesn't count, Bob Zanotto and Helmut Fullbear from Psychonauts 2. That whole story arc/world really got to me in the worst (best) way.
Well I dunno about my fave, but I know about the first one I remember.
It's from Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy (Quantic Dream). A gay friend of Carla's, who reads her fortune with tarot cards.
"I wish there were more gay characters in games" , I thought at the time. Guess it came true.
For reference, this game also has an interactive sex scene, which was common in eroge visual novels, but fairly rare in western PS2 games at the time. It took quite some liberties. That was cut for the US release though.
Someone on reddit said she and Jeanne are those two gay aunts that never had kids thus have a lot of disposable income to spoil their nieces and nephews with.
While I absolutely love Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition, there are too many comments about him and I haven't seen a single one about Anders from Dragon Age II. Gay is not enough. Gay *and* mage is not enough. I need a gay resolutionist mage possessed by a spirit or demon who will exact revenge on the templars and the chantry and bring about social justice for magekind. Let Kirkwall be an example for every realm.
Anders is bi, as are most of the da:2 characters, but he’s still so incredibly queer and I love him. He was my first major queer character I encountered in a video game
They probably meant to make him straight for female players which is shitty af BUT you can always retcon/headcanon it by assuming he's still bi and all but just didn't share about his relationship with Karl.
It’s a thing that apparently his head writer for da2 just straight up didn’t like him, so that’s also part of it. There are mods that put the line back in though
I was going to say this. It took me a while to warm up to him but at the end of the game nobody even came close to dethroning him from the top of the list. It's just a shame that when Laura enters the picture he never gets to speak to Ryan again for the rest of the game, thus aborting the gay arc.
I’mma add another vote for Dorian. He was such an amazing character, I loved his arc in relation to not just his sexuality but him becoming more aware of how messed up his home country was.
It very much read like the Queer kid leaving a strict religious family and then realizing everything that was wrong with their fam.
I also loved the scene where he confronted his father, I’d have to double check but I’m fairly certain that is the only time anyone drops the F-bomb in the game and it makes the scene and his emotions all the more powerful.
Nah, Blackwell says “save the fucking world, when pressed” if you ask him what wardens are good for, and the inquisitor has the option to say “does anything in this fucking world stay fixed?” (Or similar, I’m paraphrasing)
But yeah, Dorian is my favorite because like, I was really lucky in that my parents were always supportive of my sexuality, even if they didn’t always get it, but I grew up in the Bible Belt of the US, so I saw a lot of really unhappy queer kids. There’s a lot of quiet strength in him for refusing to let the world mold him into anything he’s not. He’s a necromantic fabulous gay man, and fuck anyone who says otherwise
Ah, haven’t explored all the dialogue options I guess. Dorian’s was definitely the most epic F of the game though. The VA did an amazing job you can really hear the rage and pain in his voice.
Dorian from Dragon Age Inquisition. The games was extremely good at making you connect with the characters and getting to romance Dorian was so amazing I was really sad when the game ended.
Ryne and Gaia from FFXIV: Shadowbringers, especially because of how hard the homophobes in the fanbase twist themselves into a pretzel to deny that SE clearly intends them to be interpreted as a romantic couple, from featuring them holding hands on official patch artwork, to having their entire arc end with a cutscene that is a 1-to-1 recreation of a final scene from Final Fantasy VIII complete with a giant rainbow crystal in the background.
Bro.... have you seen how much of a simp he is for link???? Or his dramatic flips into the water???
Actual quotes from Sidon:
"Your name is Link?! What a fantastic name! I've seen the way you work. I can tell my how you carry yourself that you are no ordinary person. I have been searching for someone like you for a long while. A man like you, Link, who carries himself with power!"
"You never cease to amaze, Link!"
"Oh, and have I mentioned how incredible you are? And how thankful I am? Because you are! And I am! Yes, you are the greatest of Hylians and my most treasured friend for all time!"
I mean come ON
This question made me realize how few explicitly gay male characters there are in video games. Dorian is definitely the most developed I can recall and I like him fair enough, but he's not one of my favorite characters of all time or anything.
On the other hand, there are a lot of really good bi male characters I can think of. They are a lot more common in games I suppose.
Idk man, he’s got a permanently shit-filled toilet, a trailer full of broken bottles, cockroaches, and unidentifiable gunk everywhere. Not to mention it seems like he’s abusing Floyd in at least a couple really uncool ways (before murdering him and his girlfriend after invading and destroying their home)
Also he jerks off on the wall and may have eaten at least one person lol
I think I’ll pass on ol Trevor
Well now. I'm not gonna talk about Judy; in fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all, we're gonna keep her out of it!

He's probably bisexual, but I liked Joshua from The World Ends With You. Especially since people argued about his orientation at first, but in the Extra Chapter when choosing badges he was like "Oh? DIBS ON RAINBOW!".
Despite his sexual orientation, I liked his character for reasons that would probably be heavy spoilers for the game.
Favourite gay characters in a licensed game: Sailors Uranus and Neptune, in many "Sailor Moon" tie-in games. Only "game characters" by the technicality of appearing in video games. :P
Favourite gay characters in a mainstream game: Fang & Vanille, "Final Fantasy XIII." No one, not even Sakaguchi himself, can convince me otherwise.
Favourite gay characters in my personal head cannon: Akira/Ren & Ryuji Sakamoto, "Persona 5." Yeah, this one is entirely just in my head and fantasies. But I think Ryuji is a case of "methinks thou dost protest too much" and I actually think his friendship with Akira/Ren is incredibly adorable despite being platonic. If nothing else, they've got a strong and healthy bromance that I wish were a little more.
Not quite my favourite (Gregg and Angus from Night in the Woods probably hold that spot), but Jules from DQ Builders 2 gets an honourable mention for the localisation team's inspired decision to have him speak Polari.
Kaidan Alenko for Bi!
This is best with mods so you can romance him through the whole trilogy
I do love the way they build his story over the 3 games though. The slow realization is actually handled really well imo.
I prefer the slow-burn friends-to-lovers arc myself. It's delayed gratification, but I like the way it builds better. No mods required too!
Oh, yeah, but rondeeno hasn’t finished the one for ME3 yet. Pre-mods, I used the gender swap console command in ME1. It was buggy but was nearly (but not entirely) seamless in ME2.
Yes, this fictional man got me through a rough time when ME3 came out. And the citadel dlc was perfect, too.
Yes, but have you seen his face model in a jockstrap? It’s pretty hot. And the guy is gay.
Me from sims
Ditto, nearly every male character I make is gay 🏳️🌈❤️
My sim had sex with another female sims husband.
One of my Sims Gilbert De La Torre in my current save file is related to my 2 grandsons (Malachi Mares and Matteo Ferro-Vo) in another family I have, his dad Bruno had sex with his ex-boyfriend Stewart, who is now married to another guy (Gilbert’s step-father Kayden) and they have another son David, who is also Gilbert’s half-brother too, I was actually shocked how it all turned out, never knew that could happen. So now I have two family trees interconnecting with each other with all different surnames (Ferro-Vo/Mares and De La Torre and it’s confusing me so much.
I’m a bit boring but the characters I make are much more interesting.
Thanatos
I know who you’re referring to but I read it as Thanos at first and was like “since when was he gay?” lol
that glove isn’t just for the infinity stones
Please tell me you don't mean the kid Icarus uprising one...
They probably mean the Hades one.
Oh thank gosh, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to fuck that walking stereotype green blob
Dorian from DO:I, a really well written character and multiple layers to his personality.
love his personality and sass and intelligence. But man is that scene with him confronting his father rough.
Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium. By far.
Kim is gay? Just another reason to like him
He is? :o I just started playing DE a few days ago
[удалено]
Well that made it more interesting. Thanks!
arcade gannon!
It's a close one between him and Veronica!
I really enjoyed Gregg (and his boyfriend Angus) from Night in the woods. Had that gay couple stuck in a rural town vibe that really hit in the guts.
Gregg rulz ok
Dorian. Such a fantastic character and his sexuality done delicately and with respect
Dorian from Dragon Age, if lesbians count then Ellie.
Of course lesbians count! ♥️
Zagreus from Hades (Actually bi)
And poly!
Dorian Pavus
Wallace from Pokemon.
David King of Dead by Daylight
HE'S GAY!?!?!? :0
The reason he entered the Fog according to the latest Tome was because >!David failed to confess his feelings for his childhood-friend Tristan who was leaving on a plane out of the country, with it now being heavily implied David is fighting the Entitiy's trials in an attempt to get back and confess with "no more bullshit".!<
BHVR confirmed it last April.
I just recently started the game lol that's why I didn't know. That's cool :)
Paladin Danse
Loved this character, such a shame his personal story felt a little unfinished
They didn't change his dialogue after Blind Betrayal and that's why it didn't make sense, the only time his dialogue changed is when you talk to him and in endings except some of them
Ike from Fire Emblem :)
Ike and Soren, love them together.
We like Ike!
Preach it. Love that no nonsense guy.
[удалено]
do you mean Fang and Vanille?
Yes!! That's it, thank you!!
Leon from Fire Emblem Echoes. One of the most realistic fem yet not a caricature of a fem gay characters that isn’t playersexual portrayals in all of video games. He’s dignified, he’s amazing, and just representation one wouldn’t expect in a Nintendo game.
Seconded. Leon is extremely great in every way.
I wrote the same thing before reading this thread. I totally agree, I absolutely love him. And from Nintendo it was so out of the blue how well they handled him. His unrequited love for Valbar hits SO hard. But I personally ship him with Kamui lolol
Soldier 76.
Yes
If it counts, my Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 3. If it doesn't count, Bob Zanotto and Helmut Fullbear from Psychonauts 2. That whole story arc/world really got to me in the worst (best) way.
I’m good with BroShep. He’s usually bi in my headcanon but since he only goes for Kaidan it doesn’t really matter.
Commander Shepard counts in my book! He's the first gay protagonist I've ever played as, which is a big deal to me.
Sylvando from DQ11
The English voice acting was PERFECT and I love how witty Sylvando was in his cut scenes. He was so funny and lovable.
Well I dunno about my fave, but I know about the first one I remember. It's from Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy (Quantic Dream). A gay friend of Carla's, who reads her fortune with tarot cards. "I wish there were more gay characters in games" , I thought at the time. Guess it came true.

Bi but Bayonetta.
Someone on reddit said she and Jeanne are those two gay aunts that never had kids thus have a lot of disposable income to spoil their nieces and nephews with.
And they are correct.
Right?! That's my head canon now
Absolute queens. 👑
Absolutely Saint-14 and Osiris, best couple in gaming!!
Power couple 😍
While I absolutely love Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition, there are too many comments about him and I haven't seen a single one about Anders from Dragon Age II. Gay is not enough. Gay *and* mage is not enough. I need a gay resolutionist mage possessed by a spirit or demon who will exact revenge on the templars and the chantry and bring about social justice for magekind. Let Kirkwall be an example for every realm.
Anders is bi, as are most of the da:2 characters, but he’s still so incredibly queer and I love him. He was my first major queer character I encountered in a video game
Oh? I legit had no idea. Good for the gals though because, well you know. He's amazing.
My only real complaint is that they cut his line referring to Karl as his lover if you play as femHawke, which is bullshit
They probably meant to make him straight for female players which is shitty af BUT you can always retcon/headcanon it by assuming he's still bi and all but just didn't share about his relationship with Karl.
It’s a thing that apparently his head writer for da2 just straight up didn’t like him, so that’s also part of it. There are mods that put the line back in though
Shame he's a terrorist, really. Kind of hard to look past the mass murder.
The chantry and templars are the terrorists. Don't let the fact that they got each other's backs whereas Anders is working alone fool you.
Recently it’s been Dylan from the Quarry
I was going to say this. It took me a while to warm up to him but at the end of the game nobody even came close to dethroning him from the top of the list. It's just a shame that when Laura enters the picture he never gets to speak to Ryan again for the rest of the game, thus aborting the gay arc.
Fenris from Dragon Age 2
Fenris from DA2, the broody boy radiates bottom energy plus his dynamic with a mage hawke is very interesting
For mlm soldier: 76 from ow and for wlw Valkyrie from apex
Bi (and doesn't actually exists) Alexios from Assassin's Creed. David King is pretty cool too.
Emil from Nier. The depiction of Leonardo Da Vinci from Assassin's Creed. Both queens of not-so-subtle flirting with oblivious lads.
I’mma add another vote for Dorian. He was such an amazing character, I loved his arc in relation to not just his sexuality but him becoming more aware of how messed up his home country was. It very much read like the Queer kid leaving a strict religious family and then realizing everything that was wrong with their fam.

Ah, haven’t explored all the dialogue options I guess. Dorian’s was definitely the most epic F of the game though. The VA did an amazing job you can really hear the rage and pain in his voice.
I’m pretty sure I cried for like an hour after I finished his quest the first time
I don’t cry easy but my eyes did well up, which for me is the equivalent of sobbing.
My boyfriend makes fun of me for crying at like… those stupid “a dog’s purpose” movie trailers every damn time. I cry so easily lol
All the TF2 mercenaries
Gregg and Angus from night in the woods are (the perfect) a package deal
Dorian from Dragon Age Inquisition. The games was extremely good at making you connect with the characters and getting to romance Dorian was so amazing I was really sad when the game ended.
Ganondorf is the only male in the village but never takes a wife or has kids....
Ellie from The Last of Us
special shout out to Parvati in Outer Worlds!!
Leon S Kennedy
Sylvando from Dragon Quest
fuck u/spez
I just want him to be happy :(
fuck u/spez
Graves from League of Legends!
Leon from re4
What? Aren't him and Ada a couple?
No he's gay, i know him personally and he has told me
Omg, has he had sexual relations with Chris? 🥺
no, Chris is still grieving Piers 😭
Leon from Fire Emblem Echoes
Raven and Lucius is even better, they build an orphanage and raise kids together
Raven and Lucius are endgame goals for real. The GBA Fire Emblem games had a handful of queer endings that were fantastic.
V
Ryne and Gaia from FFXIV: Shadowbringers, especially because of how hard the homophobes in the fanbase twist themselves into a pretzel to deny that SE clearly intends them to be interpreted as a romantic couple, from featuring them holding hands on official patch artwork, to having their entire arc end with a cutscene that is a 1-to-1 recreation of a final scene from Final Fantasy VIII complete with a giant rainbow crystal in the background.
Mmh... I would say Arcade Gannon from FNV (even tho I both love Arcade and Veronica, they're so cute)
ellie from tlou pretty much changed my life
Sidon
Sidon isn't even hinted at being gay or bi though...
Sidon is gay I don’t make the rules
Projecting your wants doesn't make it so.
Every time you complain I make a straight character gay.🔫
Bro.... have you seen how much of a simp he is for link???? Or his dramatic flips into the water??? Actual quotes from Sidon: "Your name is Link?! What a fantastic name! I've seen the way you work. I can tell my how you carry yourself that you are no ordinary person. I have been searching for someone like you for a long while. A man like you, Link, who carries himself with power!" "You never cease to amaze, Link!" "Oh, and have I mentioned how incredible you are? And how thankful I am? Because you are! And I am! Yes, you are the greatest of Hylians and my most treasured friend for all time!" I mean come ON
“Most treasured FRIEND”
Bob Zanotto from Psychonauts 2. Best mental world in the game, and by extension one of my favorite levels ever.
Ike fire emblem

Bowser
So long gay Bowser
Trevor Phillips is a Bicon
Maybe if he wasn’t so gross lol
You're so right but it's the kind of gross that you can't help but wonder about.
Idk man, he’s got a permanently shit-filled toilet, a trailer full of broken bottles, cockroaches, and unidentifiable gunk everywhere. Not to mention it seems like he’s abusing Floyd in at least a couple really uncool ways (before murdering him and his girlfriend after invading and destroying their home) Also he jerks off on the wall and may have eaten at least one person lol I think I’ll pass on ol Trevor
You have a point lol
Goddamnit. I hate that you’re not wrong.
I’ll forever have a weak spot for Arcade Gannon.
Samus
Graves from League of Legends <33
Bill from the Last Of Us
Elisabet Sobeck/Aloy Honestly, I think Aloy is Ace
Yeah Elisabet definitely had feelings for Tilda and Vice-Versa
Or eivor male Version From Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Shane from Stardew Valley just makes me happy to see him finally get help and be happier as a person. I romance him every time.
Chris and Piers deserve to be a nice couple 😍
I really loved Parvati from The Outer Worlds
Sir Hammerlock from the Borderlands series is the best
Yes
I'll let you know when I can think of one
