Games and series offering female/female options:
Adventure GamesThe Interactive Fiction game Violet has a text command ('HETERONORMATIVITY OFF') to turn the story into a lesbian romance.The video game adaptation of The Princess and the Frog has a mild one of these. It's a minigame collection. One minigame is like tag... but the person who's "it" is a frog who has to kiss another character to make them the frog. Player default is Tiana, with the other 3 players being Prince Naveen, Tiana's best friend Charlotte, and her other friend Georgia.First Person ShootersThe first Star Trek: Elite Force game lets you play as either Alexander Munro or Alexandra Munro. Either way, your character flirts with female teammate Telsia Murphy, who might return the flirting in optional scenes.Role-Playing GamesKnights of the Old Republic features Juhani, a female Jedi of a catlike race, as a possible party member. If the player makes their character a female and follows the Light Side path, Juhani confesses her feelings for her before the final battle. The player can tell Juhani she feels the same way, or that she just doesn't swing that way. If a male character flirts with her she's openly disgusted at the idea.In Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, female characters can have same-sex couplings at a brothel in Tarant. It's possible to get a non-violent non-deceptive outcome to the confrontation with the female leader of the Dark Elves by simply responding to her attempts to seduce the main character. Only if the protagonist is especially attractive, mind you (beauty is a stat in Arcanum).In Fallout 3, you may buy the services of Nova, Megaton's good time girl, and those of Clover, a slave with a rather ironic fetish, regardless of your gender. This isn't even hand waved and rather unfairly there are no male counterparts. With the Black Widow perk you may also suggest a threesome with Ronald Laren to get him to do what you want; this gets him killed.The Neverwinter Nights expansion Kingmaker provides the bisexual nymph NPC Kaidala who can be romanced by female as well as male characters.The Swordcraft Story sub-series of Summon Night has lesbian options, that are almost impossible to avoid. Female summons in both games gain a crush on the main character and playing as a female does nothing to deter them, and in-fact only encourages them (Sugar only gives the famed kiss to a female PC).Simulation GamesHarvest Moon: Korobokkuru Station For Girls had a thinly-veiled Gay Option, allowing you to use a "Best Friends Ceremony" to get one of the special wives from the male version to move in with you and eventually bring you a baby, as if they were a husband. This was removed for the US version, Harvest Moon DS Cute — more obnoxiously, Natsume refused to confirm they removed it, and they left in all the related scenes up to actually "proposing", so it's taken hours of work by dedicated players to, in fact, confirm it's not in there. Fans are understandably annoyed.In Princess Maker 4 (possibly only the PC version), if your daughter avoids marrying any men and has a close enough relationship with one of her female friends, she may end up living "happily ever after" with the girl in question.In the online game The Hookup one of your options is the girl, Sarah.In the lawyer sim Love&Order, one of the romance options for your female PC is a female attorney.Magical Diary is an Everyone Is Bi setting; the first game allows the female PC to date both of her female roommates as well as kiss another girl who isn't an official option.Fantasy life sim Spirited Heart has an Expansion Pack called "Girls Love", which opens up six female love interests. In the "Deluxe" version, they are already included.Because the default player characters for the Way of the Samurai series are male, with female PC models being unlockable extras for game completion (The series focuses on having a large number of relatively short paths), or awards for Non-Lethal K.O. (which allows you to use the victim's model for yourself on future plays) on a female character in 3, the game almost always treats you as male, allowing you to visit a brothel (And even get the ranking for visiting it enough times in a cycle), take up the offer of a Fallen Mafia Princess to "take [her] inner woman" so she can fight, ect. Indeed, the one NPC that reacts differently to a female PC in 2 (The female sword informant), can still be (hopelessly) asked on a date.Chrono Days Sim Date and Lunar Days Sim Date both have a lesbian option included among the Secret Characters. Additionally, the more recent Number Days Sim Date has Lena as a romanceable character from the start.Visual NovelsIn Fatal Hearts, most of the romance options for the female protagonist are male, but your female best friend is canonically in love with you and can get together with you in one ending.Heileen contains three romantic endings for its female protagonist: a ridiculously easy to get straight option, a difficult to get heavily Les Yay ending, and lastly another difficult to get lesbianending. The third game in the series has an expansion pack that opens up a romantic ending with each major female character in the game up to that point and one seen briefly in the ending of the second game.Tabletop GamesTabletop Dating Game/RPG-ish thingie GxB has a Gay Option for Momoko in Risa, the class president. This is despite GxB being short for "Girl x Boy." Whether she gets chosen depends on a mixture of luck, the tastes of Momoko's player, and how well Risa's player runs her.Survival HorrorThe Last of Us: With the release of the DLC} Left behind, gaming reached a new milestone in that the gay option wasn't an option but something that was built into the narriative, thereby forcing the player to play as a gay character. In the DLC the player plays as Ellie, the 14 year old girl that the player spent the entirety of the main game protecting. In the DLC we jump between present day zombie survival and lengthy flashbacks to before the game where she spent a day together with her best friend Riley. At the end of the DLC they share a kiss, and Word of God said that yes, it is romantic. The Internet being the Internet, a large portion of the fanbase then decided that this, and not the hours of stabbing zombies in the neck, was the moment where Ellie was robbed of her innocence.
Games and series offering both:
Choose Your Own AdventureAll of the Choice of Games [1] allow a gay option (at least, the ones that have a romance element at all do). In Choice of the Dragon you can choose the gender of your mate (or 'I don't care'). Choice of Broadsides allows you to have an affair with Villeneuve, who is always the same gender as you. Choice of Romance always gives you the same options for Love Interests, but said love interests are male or female depending on whether you say you are flirting with men or women in an early decision. And in Choice of the Vampire, you are able to have an affair with Clotho on one hand and Silas, your dominus, and to an extent Jesse on the other hand regardless of gender. Also, in all but Choice of Romance (and possibly Choice of Broadsides) can you be demonstrably bisexual - and in Choice of Romance your love interests are always all of the same gender. Choice of Broadsides is a little odd: when you're asked if you want to get married you can choose to claim you are attracted to your own gender; if you do this, and are friendly enough to Villeneuve, he/she will hit on you and you can accept. If you chose differently, this will never happen. However, after your affair you might have the opportunity to still get married; the text implies at first that you are doing this just to go through the motions or increase your position in society, but after that the description is pretty much identical to what it would be if you truly were interested in these men or women.In Fallen London your character can romance both male and female partners, including a couple of threesomes.MMORPGsWorld of Warcraft has a week-long Valentine's Day Special every February where—besides the thematic quests—you can get citizens and guards of the main city to fall in love with you. Male NPCs like people who wear perfume while female NPCs prefer the smell of cologne, regardless of the wearer's sex. As of now, the Love Is In The Air event has been changed so that you no longer have to win over city guards.Mabinogi has a marriage system that allows two player characters to obtain a few extra bonuses when near their spouses, as well as forming a family. The US servers allow for same sex marriages.Role-Playing GamesProbably the first clearly intentional use was in Ultima VII, which had "The Baths" in Buccaneer's Den and allowed the Avatar to have sex with either males or females.Prior to this, the "bad" Gypsies in Ultima VI (there were two groups) also offered their bodies for a fee regardless of gender.The Lazarus remake of Ultima V added a potential gay encounter in Buccaneer's Den.Ultima VII Part II: Serpent Isle has a female character who attempts to seduce the Avatar, regardless of the Avatar's gender - and if the player turns her down, she uses magic to try to force herself on them.Fallout 2 provides the player with the option to marry either the son or daughter of a farmer, no matter what the main character's sex is (however, if you were "Separated"—i.e. if the spouse died—you could not go back to the town and marry their sibling). Additionally, several NPC characters were gay or bisexual, allowing for same-sex seduction, sometimes to provide an alternative way to complete a quest.Fallout: New Vegas introduces the Confirmed Bachelor and Cherchez la Femme perks, homosexual counterparts to Lady Killer and Black Widow, as well as gay (Arcade Gannon) and lesbian (Veronica Santangelo) companion characters.Jade Empire allows the player to flirt with three different members of their party, two of them are all up for same-sex coupling, ultimately resulting in a night of romance before the final battle (and, in one instance, a possible threesome). However, due to Executive Meddling from Microsoft, the scene goes to black right before any same-sex kissing is seen. Luckily it can be fixed in the PC version with this Game Mod found here.Fable provides many options for heterosexual marriage, a few for gay marriage, and, if you can get away with it, a whole lot of options for polygamy. The two aren't exactly equal, though; while heterosexual marriage provides the player with a dowry, an occasional source of income and items, and a cutscene detailing the importance of the marriage to the hero's life, the gay marriage just gives you the income and items.Fable II doesn't exactly provide a dowry, but it's a lot more forward about your relationship. If you're married to someone of the same sex, whenever an NPC refers to the relationship, they'll always say "husband" or "wife" instead of "partner".Fable III expands on this a bit, allowing players to adopt children from an orphanage that becomes available about half-way through the story quests and sending them to live with their husband/wife. Wedding ceremonies can now also be set in chosen locations leading to a short scene where the officiator announces you "husband and husband" or "wife and wife".Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines allowed female player characters to seduce a number of female bar patrons for blood. They could also have sex with a bisexual female vampire character, just as the male player characters could. There was also a single instance in the early part of the game where male vampires could seduce a male NPC for blood, but you had to have a fairly high charisma stat early on for it to work.There's also the gravekeeper, Romero, who has some... needs... that apparently must be fulfilled right now, and he wants you to watch the zombie infested cemetery while he takes care of them. If you're female, you can offer to take care of said needs instead. In the unofficial patch made by one of the original programmers, Romero was changed to bisexual to allow male characters to do the same.Also, if your charisma is high enough, the prostitutes give quite the discount to female PCs, with the logic "Mm, I don't get to do women often..."The math behind Star Ocean: The Second Story's friendship system was hidden, but boiled down to Friendship and Romance points. The characters that best matched up for one another (roughly) would end up having a cut scene together in the ending, be they same or opposite sex. It was hard to get high Romance Points between same-sex characters due to a lack of appropriate cut scenes, so sabotaging the opposite-sex ones is the best tactic.In Divine Divinity there is a brothel where a player of any gender can sleep with both male and female escorts.Mass Effect:The first game: sort of allows for this if the player creates a female playable character and chooses to romance the Asari member of the squad, Liara T'Soni. Asari are monogendered, their whole race being female; however, from their own cultural perspective they don't view themselves as female, since they don't have any other gender to distinguish from. So it's definitely a lesbian relationship from Fem!Shepard's human point of view, but to Liara it's just a relationship like any other.Mass Effect 2 allows a romance to bloom between Kelly Chambers (a human woman) and a player character of either sex. However, the game does not count this as a "true" romance, you can do some light flirting and, at most, she dances for you. Starting a romance with Kelly Chambers will not grant the Paramour achievement or keep Shepard from starting a relationship with a party member. The developers described it an easter egg, rather than a true romance path.This can be upgraded to a "proper" relationship in 3, insofar as the game recognizes it with the Paramour achievement and a photo of Kelly in Shepard's room aboard the Normandy, but this is still obviously much more shallow than a standard ME romance.Mass Effect 3 has actual gay relationships, with Male!Shepard getting shuttle pilot Steve Cortez or a Relationship Upgrade with Kaidan, while Fem!Shepard gets Liara, tech specialist Samantha Traynor, or Hot Scoop Diana Allers. Amusingly, Fem!Shep has more gay options than straight, since she only has two male suitors, and both are returning characters who could be dead at the start of the game, leaving only the ladies.Dragon Ageragon Age: Origins:Your romantic options include Zevran, a male Depraved Bisexual elf and Leliana, a female bisexual human. All PCs can romance them. You can also have a threesome with Zevran and an old flame of his, a female pirate, as an alternate method of getting one of the Specialization classes. This results in +7 relationship points with Zevran. You can also do this scene with Leliana if you are romancing her, which doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny. Or a foursome with you, Zevran, Leliana, and the aforementioned pirate.The Human Noble origin can have an optional encounter with the son of a minor lord or an elven maidservant, again, regardless of the character's gender.There are prostitutes at the Pearl of both genders, the PC can hire any of them regardless of their own gender.Dragon Age II has four bisexual romances in the main game, one exclusively-straight DLC party member and one DLC bisexual Guest Star Party Member.Pokémon Black and White has ferris wheel rides coated with innuendo in the Japanese version. Hilbert gets a hiker and Hilda gets a Meido.Black 2 and White 2 bring back the gay Ferris Wheel dates. Rosa's is a punk rocker; Nate's is a schoolteacher who could only get his job by passing as a woman. The latter gets censored in some versions.In Baldur's Gate II, Tiefling bard Haer'Dalis can make use of a male Drow sex slave. Word of Godsays the team just figured "he'd be up for anything".The developers of Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition have mentioned that one of the three new romanceable characters is bisexual.In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there are a number of characters the player can propose to and marry. None of the prospective loves take gender or race into account.However, while there's a perk that allows you to get better prices from a merchant of the opposite sex, there's no way to seduce merchants of the same gender as your character. Even if you have a same-sex partner.Planet Stronghold (from the makers of Spirited Heart) has three possible romance options for each gender, one of which is a same-sex relationship (Joshua and Prince Cliff, or Lisa and Michelle).Each of the two possible player characters in Loren Amazon Princess has two straight and two gay romance options. The easiest option, the title character, is a heterosexual relationship for Saren and a lesbian one for Elenor.Dragon's Dogma allows the Arisen to romance nearly any NPC in the game by raising their affinity levels through completing quests, giving gifts, or simply talking to the NPC constantly. The NPC with the highest affinity for the player becomes involved in the final boss fight which leads to some unfortunate players, unaware of the romance mechanic, wondering why their true love is an old blacksmith or innkeeper.Simulation GamesThe Sims allows characters of the same sex to fall in love and move in together, even if they can't get married like their straight counterparts. (Which suggests that the Sim-universe is populated by bisexuals.) The problem is corrected in The Sims 2, which allows for "joining" ceremonies between characters of the same sex.There's actually a "hidden" meter for sexual preference for each character in The Sims 2, from -1000 to 1000, which influences (minorly) just how successful a character is when attempting romantic interactions with another character. If, for example, a character is 1000 points of hetero, and -1000 of gay (for lack of a better term), they are extremely likely to reject all romantic interactions with the same-sex. Of course, a new character has both preferences set to 0, so really, Everyone Is Bi.The story goes that this was actually exposed, with the intention that Sims would actually get fixed sexual preferences during teenage/college years, or character creation if created as adults, but they at the last minute they hid it and toned it down where Sims wouldn't get 'locked in'.In The Sims 3, characters of the same sex now have equal marriage rights. EA, only three years behind Canada.Artificial Academy by Illusion allows you to have entire classes filled with school girl lesbians or school boy homosexuals, it's all up to the player and whether the character was set to homo/bi in the Maker.The only drawback is the yaoi h-scenes... they simply do not exist, unless someone has already made a patch or hack for it.Every Nummyz Dating Sim contains a gay/lesbian character; at least one even has an explicitly bisexual character, breaking the No Bisexuals rule.The game Singles: Flirt Up Your Life, a The Sims-style game in which you try to manipulate two roommates into hooking up, has a gay character of each gender available to choose from. When picking the characters, you either pick one of each gender, or the gay character and another character of the same gender, and it's not any harder to get the "straight" characters into a relationship with the gay character than with an opposite-gender character. So, apparently, in Singles-world, gayness is transmitted by close contact.In the indie Raising Sim series Kudos, you can turn same-sex relationships on or off in the options menu.This caused some "controversy" in the video game version of the board game The Game Of Life.Frontierville, Zynga's spin-off of Farmville, allows the player to chose a male or female spouse, regardless of their avatar's gender.Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times (also known as Enchanted Folk and the School if Wizardryallows you to a achieve a relationship with a same-sex townsperson called "Bound by a Strong Connection." This is treated as a Romantic Two-Girl Friendship (or Two Guy Friendship) by townspeople.Harvest Moon: A New Beginning has a strange variation: Although the game sets your choice of Love Interests based on the gender you choose for your character at the start, it also lets you customize your character, and both male and female appearance options are available no matter what gender you set for your avatar. Since your character is never referred to with gendered pronouns, you are free to choose the "female" option at the start, give your character a completely male appearance, and then start wooing the boys (or vice versa). It has some unusual implicationsonce you have a child, though.Farmville 2 lets you earn a sweetheart to help on the farm, who you eventually get engaged to and marry. You are allowed to choose either sex as your partner, and have a family with him or her.Turn-Based StrategyThe majority of Fire Emblem games have support conversations between two characters and, given a high enough support level, can alter both their endings.Path of Radiance / Radiant Dawn: Despite having a lot of male and female admirers, Ike only has two paired endings, both with men: Soren and Ranulf.In fact, there is a base conversation that can only be seen in a second play with an A-ranked support between Ike and Soren and transfer data from Path of Radiance with the same.From Blazing Sword (Fire Emblem in the US), Raven and Lucius, Lyn and Florina. Heath and Legault and Karel and Lucius do not have paired endings, but both conversations are high on the Ho Yay.From Sacred Stones / FE 8, Joshua and Gerik. They both have endings with females (Natasha and Marisa, for Joshua; Tethys and Marisa again, for Gerik), btu if they get an A support, Gerik pledges his loyalty to Joshua and stays with him when he's crowned as King of Jehanna.Oddly for a series that has previously included this trope, the ending of Fire Emblem Awakeningdoes not account for high-level Supports between characters of the same sex, romantic or otherwise. However, the Hubba Tester does not does try to hide anything.Visual NovelsLoren: The Amazon Princess: As Saren, you can hook up with Amukiki or Draco. As Elenor, you can hook up with Loren or Karen.In "Roommates Visual Novel", you can have Max be in a romance with Rakesh or Anne be in a romance with Isabella. The romantic scenes do not disappoint.Wide Open SandboxThe flexible character creation system in Saints Row 2 allows you to do something like this. You set a gender for your character in the presets menu but are allowed to change the body, face and voice actor to fit the opposite gender. When you perform the Ho-ing Diversion you'll then hear voices from the same sex.Saints Row IV introduces romance options with many of the side characters, both male and female. All of them are available, regardless of the Boss's gender.Facade lets you flirt with Trip, Grace, or both, regardless of your character's gender. Granted, they're too wrapped up in their own issues to reciprocate, but they do acknowledge the interest.
