In DA I the sexualities took away from the characters though. What could have been an interesting character got basically reduced to a fantasy version of "my fundie dad hates me for coming out as gay", you were locked out of the more dramatic version of another character's betrayal if you didnt play a female character who could romance him, the romance with the male bi character was kinda just an awkward BDSM 101 PSA and the only fully lesbian option was a character that was so grating a lot of people didn't even recruit her. And the gender (and race) locks on all the straight characters just sucked and didn't add anything to the characters at all.

You sound like the kind of person who can't pay attention to anything about a gay character except for the fact that they're gay, so you can never tell when they already are the interesting character you wish they had been.

It's not that he wasn't an interesting character without his gayness, it's that he was very painfully obviously a self-insert/proxy for his writer who really wanted to write a Gay character first and foremost and that overshadowed a lot of his other character traits. And honestly, all his other character traits/backstory(blood mage from Tevinter who goes against/diagrees with his much more conservatively evil countrymen) was just kind of an echo of his sexuality plot/a thinly veiled metaphor for a queer person growing up in a conservative right wing environment. Which is perfectly fine but that's basically what his character was.
Sera was just an asshole imo, her sexuality was kinda irrelevant.

On the other hand, the airt is of the opinion that the sexuality of a character is what makes them truly unique and realistic first and foremost and... yeah, nah, disagree.
