So my male smuggler (who is gay and NOT interested in women at all) has been avoiding all [FLIRT] options with women like the plague.
Cedonia Teraan, a noble on Alderaan, flirts with you unrelentingly after you retrieve a datapad from her old abode. I naturally avoided every single [FLIRT] option with her, as my smuggler is in no way interested in a liason with her.
Then, she invites my smuggler to dinner. Not wishing to offend an Alderaanian noble, I accept the offer but NOT the [FLIRT] option (in retrospect, the third option wasn't even a very clear NO). Then before I realize what happened and escape out, we fade to black, then she's asking me to be discreet about our rendezvous. I sat there for a few minutes in confusion pondering her statements.
For the sake of role play and decision making, why would BW give players conversations whose outcomes are equal (romancing an NPC) with two DIFFERENT conversation choices, one of which is NOT a [FLIRT] option? My smuggler had been avoiding her advances the entire time, not flirting once, and one non-flirt decision caused a fade-to-black liason?
I feel like Cedonia Teraan drugged me during dinner then forced herself on me.
Joking aside, I do feel BW needs to avoid misleading players who actually wish to role play a bit with their characters. Given that the conversation choices we select are paraphrases of our verbal answers, AND that SGRA options for our characters will be included at a later date, I feel my smuggler has an unintentional "stain" on his past (no pun intended) that he never would have committed had the conversation choices been more clear -- or at least, only conversation choices that include [FLIRT] end in rendezvous. I mean, imagine how the anti-SGRA crowd would react had their characters been "tricked" into a same gender fade-to-black. And yes, that is how I feel, that my character was tricked into having sex with some extremely forward noble harlot.
TL;DR: Make conversation choices clearer in the context of pursuing relationships. Make only conversation choices that begin with [FLIRT] end in sexual liasons.
