The author lives in Russia and any mention of LGBTQ+ can be considered extremest and could get the author in serious trouble so they had to remove any gay content from the story

Ah, I see, understandable. Maybe once the game is complete someone could eventually mod that in. It does make some sense for the world the game is supposed to be set in as well, but it would be fun to get some LGBTQ+ options one day and if it is ever possible. It would be kind of interesting to have to struggle in that world to be accepted or to hide the relationship or end up becoming ultra-powerful to the point where nobody dares say anything. Or it would just be nice to have LGBTQ+ options that are fully accepted, either is good. lol
