Someone mentioned Preiss at the hunt club - did it occur to anyone that the entire membership of that club might share something in common besides hunting?
Other characters: in GK1, the shop owner next door who coveted and finally bought the painting by Wolfgang.

Actually Preiss isn't gay, in fact his problem is that he likes women a little too much. Remember when Gabe interviews him in the Hunt club he recognises in Gabriel the same, ah, womanizing tendancies.
I'm not sure about Von Glower. I assumed that he was bisexual. The game certainly suggest that he and Ludwig got fairly close.
Not that it's got to do with anything, but its not Wolfgang's painting in GK1. It's Gabriel's father's painting. Gabe is the writer, his father the artist and his Grandfather the poet.
Some people are like a slinky. They might not be good for anything, but its fun to watch them tumble down stairs. &&

Oops that's right. Wolfgang was the grandfather; we never actually meet the father. The character's name was Bruno, if I recall correctly, and he owned a flower-shop. (Not that this has much to do with anything either.

Nah, not stupid at all. It was put across in a very classical British manner, you probably wouldn't have noticed unless you know quite a lot about how English people are

Yeah, it was quite a stroke of luck. I don't remember how I came across the info for it, but I didn't know anything about the guy at the time. I had pipe dreams of one day working at Pixar (or ILM, or Digital Domain, or Dreamworks, or... ) and thought a cel animation class would be a good idea. It really was a lot of fun, and I got a 2-second pencil test on VHS out of it, which is kinda cool

The lady at the Quarramonte mining company looked like she was seriously checking out Nico to me!!! Of course, she did have a male secretary at work in his undies, so maybe she swings both ways?

| Deleted User | IIRC, Jane Jensen herself has stated that she thinks of von Glower as "omnisexual", whatever that's supposed to mean.

Status : Offline | I have a friend who (mostly) doesn't eat meat. If someone asks if he is a vegetarian, he replies, "I'm an Opportunivore", meaning he will eat whatever happens to be available. Cute.
So maybe we should call von Glower an "Opportunisexist."

I think he was gay, or at least bisexual. It is certain that Ludwig was gay, and he and Von Glower spent an awful lot of time together.
There were also some subtle undertones that Gabriel! himself has some homoerotic tendancies.
As for other characters, has anyone played the Voyeur FMV adventure games? Pretty much every person is omnisexual.

Oh dear, where does that leave Sam & Max?
