The Old Republic is a cool place for space bros to go quest together... no homo

Due to the design constraints of a fully voiced MMO of this scale and size, many choices had to be made as to the launch and post-launch feature set. Same gender romances with companion characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a post-launch feature.

They couldn't fit in gay subtext to their voice acting sessions?

that thread is 163 pages long, full of bickering -- It's amazing. just skimming some posts...

I support content for the masses.I support features/content for MINORITY GROUPS to be handled at the LOWEST priorty level.

SGRA should not have been realistic discussed on these forums for at least 3 years post launch. that is how INSIGNIFICANT this content is.

Take this garbage out of the game and let us have a game worthy of the Star Wars title. Remember this is long long ago in a galaxy far far away..... when morality and decency still stood for something.

wouldt same gender romance make the game rated M?

So will we be allowed to kick people from guilds/groups for being gay with their companions or will that be a violation and we be forced to keep them around.

Gay people are heroes, too, BioWare. Shame on you for making the statement that in Star Wars, they can't be.

Jesus won't be happy to hear this

The've been working on this game for more than three years.

Wasn't there an uproar a few years ago when some community manager suggested that there was no homosexuality in Star Wars?

Meanwhile, Mass Effect 3 will have red hot, man-on-James Vega lovin'.

Being that this will be a mmorpg, this will never be a "game" much less fun.

This will be the nail in the coffin that is Star Wars.

This will be the nail in the coffin that is Bioware.

At least something good will come out of this disaster of a game.

in rpgs i avoid making my pretend person fuck another pretend person because it is ewww, but that is some laaaaaaaaaaaaame excusifying right there, bioware

It probably just didn't dawn on them, the same way teams of primarily white hetero males tend to not put in heroic minority or female characters.

One day Sheri S. Tepper will write the story for a game, and it will be beautiful, but when it's over all the male players will hate themselves.

Or her.

east or west, this whole industry is fucked...

[Brehvolution]

Have to agree with jdub. Is this the next requirement for all games like MP?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Yeah, the REAL issue here is "why can you even romance NPC characters in an MMO anyhow"?

millions of players, 5 possible NPC romances ... that's how people catch Space AIDS
