Would have been more refreshing if they just came out (lol) and said they sold out. All this monkey business making up excuses is pathetic.

Nice find. Here's the relevant quotes.

“Samesex romance, no you will play as Henry, the son of a Blacksmith from Silver Skalice, and he already does have a background story in which he is not a bi- oder homo-sexual. But there will be homosexual NPC characters in the game.”

Warhorse was asked, “So those player who are not straight will be forced to romance a woman?”

Warhorse responded, “Nobody will force you to do anything. But you will play as Henry the son of a blacksmith, and yes, he is straight, and white and male and from Bohemia. Someone from France will not be able to play a french guy even if he loves his country. If you are in a wheelchair, you will be able to walk in the game. ... You will play as a christian person, even if you are a moslem, hindu, atheist or jedi. ... we want to tell the story of Henry the son of a Blacksmith from Silver Skalice, and he will be different from you, not only in his sexuality, but in his heritage, in his looks and in his biography and many more..."

Then when later confronted with that the story writer basically said "hehe I hadn't thought up a complete character for Henry yet, my bad".
