• Characters like The Witcher's Ciri are hinted as bisexual, showcasing diverse romantic options in gaming.

Love and romance have been featured in video games for a long time. In the early days, it merely consisted of a hero rescuing a princess from a dastardly villain. These days, though, romantic relationships in video games have become a lot deeper and more sophisticated. Also, they're certainly more inclusive.

If you go back to the 80s or 90s, you'd be hard-pressed to find a video game romance that didn't involve a man and a woman. Now, you can find a lot more LGBTQ+ representation. So, it shouldn't come as a big surprise to discover that there are a bunch of bisexual characters in gaming. Here are some of the most notable.

7 Vamp

Metal Gear Solid Series

Vamp from the Metal Gear Solid games is a seemingly immortal killer with superhuman speed who drinks his victims' blood. So, his sexual identity probably isn't the first thing to cross your mind when you meet him. Yet, the game still makes it clear that he's bisexual, as Pliskin (aka Solid Snake) outright tells you in a codex call.

Snake explains that he gets the name Vamp because of his bisexuality instead of his vampire-like tendencies. He goes on to reveal that Vamp was the lover of a Marine named Scott Dolph and had some kind of relationship with Dolph's daughter, Fortune. Therefore, Vamp is perhaps not the best representative of the bisexual community.

6 Alex Chen

Life Is Strange: True Colors

The Life Is Strange series contains some of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the best LGBTQ+ characters in gaming. The protagonist in True Colors, Alex Chen, is one of them, as she is bisexual. She is also an empath with the supernatural ability to see, feel, and alter people's emotions. That power could be problematic in the wrong hands, but thankfully, Alex is a lovely person who mainly uses her powers for good.

She certainly doesn't need to use them to make others fall for her. Both of the game's love interests, Steph and Ryan, catch feelings for Alex fairly soon after meeting her. Whether you want to pursue a relationship with the outgoing, music-loving Steph or the introverted, outdoorsy Ryan is up to you.

5 Ciri

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Ciri's sexual identity is not a big talking point during The Witcher 3. The very important young woman spends much of the game on the run from a dangerous species known as the Wild Hunt, so she doesn't have much time for romance.

Yet, there is an optional bit of dialog where she says she prefers women, and in The Witcher books, she has some romantic encounters with people of the same sex. She also has a history with men, including The Witcher 3's Skjall, who you can kiss in the game. Therefore, while nobody has outright said she's bisexual, the evidence points to her being so.

4 Eivor

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Eivor from Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a brave Viking who travels from their home in Norway to England with the goal of establishing a settlement. While in this new world, Eivor meets all sorts of different people.

This is where their sexual identity becomes more apparent, as they meet a bunch of both male and female potential love intere🥃sts. As you're the one controlling Eivor, you get to select who they should flirt with. Flirt enough, and you could end up having a steaming encounter with them or engaging in a full-on romance.

3 Liara T' Soni

Mass Effect Series

In the original Mass Effect trilogy, Liara T' Soni is the only character who can fall for either a male or female Commander Shepard, confirming her bisexuality. That said, her sexuality is a bit more complicated than that. After all, she is an Asari, and their concept of gender is different from humans.

They're a mono-gendered species, meaning they only have one gender. So, the reason why Liara can love either a male or female is because she doesn't really see them as any different. You could argue this makes her more pansexual. However, she is usually referred to as bisexual. Either way, she is a very warm and empathetic character who forms a strong bond with Shepard.

2 🔜 Clementine

The Walking Dead

Few characters in gaming go through as much character development as Clementine in Telltale's The Walking Dead. She begins the first season as a scared child. Then, over the next few years, she transforms into one of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:video game's best heroines and an all-around capable zombie survivor.

Along with getting better at spilling zombie blood, she also ages and is in her late teens by the final ﷺseason. So, romantic entanglements begin to become a part of her life. This is mainly due to her meeting Louis and Violet, who are bo꧑th potential love interests.

1 ꩲ ꦆ Commander Shepard

Mass Effect Series

As Commander Shepard is a customizable protagonist, they can be either male or female. This doesn't alter their personality or adventure too much, as either way, they're a heroic leader who's taking the fight to galactic threats. Their gender does alter their romantic options, though.

In the first two games, male Shepard only gets𝓰 female love interests, while fem Shep can sleep with either men or women♉. In the third game, the male Commander can knock space boots with dudes, too. So, both versions of Shepard are canonically bisexual.
