  1. @Tamaranis My idea is two toggles, one for 'Allow Opposite Gender Relationships' and one for 'Allow Same Gender Relationships.' If both are off, no relationships. If both are on, either category relationships. If only one is on, only that category of relationship is available. The reason I keep reposting this same idea is that people keep saying that toggling off Same Sex relationships is discriminatory, and so it shouldn't be implemented. My idea treats all categories equally. It allows the player to define their preference per character.
  2. @Uluain The issue I have with simply having SS flirting as an option is that it is forcing me to contend with something I am offended by. Whether or not I choose the SS flirt options, they are in front of me. And in front of my kids. That's why I favor the two toggle approach. That way those that want relationships at all get them, in whatever flavor they prefer, and those who don't desire that can of worms in their game don't have to have it.
  3. @kraidy My idea (and I'm sure I'm not the first to propose it) is to have two toggles, something to the effect of 'Allow Opposite Gender Relationships' and 'Allow Same Gender Relationships). If you toggle both off, no relationships. If you toggle one on, you get that category of relationship. If you toggle both on you get the options for both categories. This would require another 2 bits per character profile, and some conditional programming around the flirt options. Very little effort, and we all get what we want.
  4. *Beeeep! Bleeeeep! ZZZZRRRRRRRRRT! RTFM ERROR! RTFM ERROR! Read The Forum Maybe Error! And yes, someone did mention toggles
  5. With a two toggle system, how you set up your computer game is your choice. you do what you want, I do what I want. Your gameplay is enhanced because it fits your life, mine is not detracted from. We should both be happy with this. We are each given personal choice.
  6. Well, as I said, if the toggle idea isn't implemented my choice becomes live with it or cancel. At this point I'm thinking I would likely cancel. However, I feel that I've made my point to Bioware (assuming they read these threads). I think I have presented the best way to deal with the issue to not alienate anyone. What they do is what they do. How I react is up to me. Good luck all. And yeah, I like your close, Raiellyn. Stay classy. )
  7. @Altyrell I think that any sexuality choices should be off by default for any new characters.
  8. @Raiellyn Actually, if you read any of my posts in this thread you'll see I advocate a two toggle approach. My original description of those two toggles could be taken as offensive, and for that I apologize, but the concept is consistent; the game needs to be configurable in a way to not offend anyone on the issue of sexuality (as far as other issues go, this is not the thread to discuss them). Thank-you for your last post. I appreciate that you are willing to compromise. To my way of thinking what I am asking for is fair to everyone. I sincerely hope this feature is implemented in the way I described. Both myself and my family have been waiting a long time for this game, and I'd hate to cancel over this issue.
  9. @Raiellyn If you don't want to play dark side, play republic. If you don't like PvP play on a PvE server. If you just don't like the content of the game, don't play the game. And if forced same sex content is added, yes, I certainly have the choice to not play. My point is that by implementing a two toggle approach we all get what we want; no relationships, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual. You play your way, I'll play mine. If they present choices so we can choose how relationships are implemented, we can all set it up to our own preferences. I don't see how forcing same sex relationships on me is fair, anymore than forcing opposite gender relationships on anyone is fair. If handled properly, this can enhance your gameplay and not detract from mine. That'd be a win-win situation. To my way of thinking that is the best possible outcome.
  10. @Raiellyn If you disagree with the plot points of the game, the option is to not play it. We all have that option. But if you find the list you made so disagreeable in your fiction, why are you playing this game? Why expose yourself to something you disagree with? I think we can all get along, but I think Bioware needs to handle this properly to avoid offending people. Homosexual is a category as much as heterosexual is. I still think the two toggles idea is the best one, but maybe they should label them 'Allow Heterosexual Relationships' and 'Allow Homosexual Relationships' and then both on would allow Bi. Would that be better? Those that want to add same sex content need to understand that some people simply don't want same sex content. If I can respect your wishes to have it added, why can't you respect my wishes to not have to have it if I don't want it? If this content gets added, Bioware needs to be fair about it.
  11. I feel that this feature must be toggle-able. That way those that want same sex content can turn it on, those that don't can turn it off. That is preserving the right to choose for people that are pro *or* anti. As to having the option to flirt or not in the NPC discussions as a viable option to avoid the same sex content, those of us that are offended by same sex content, or don't want to expose our children to same sex content, simply want to be able to not have that content. By the same token, those that want it should be able to have it. But this controversial content shouldn't be forced on people. With two toggles, one for relationships, another for same sex relationships, we all get what we want and no one is forced to do anything. Problem solved. If this feature is not toggle-able, my only option to not have this content will be to cancel my family's 4 subs. I would much prefer the option to toggle the feature off. Don't see why we can't try to make this game something we can all enjoy without forcing something on people who just want to play a game.
  12. I think that any features that introduce sexuality into this game should be optional, whether they are same or hetero sexual. for couple of reasons. 1) I know that some kids are going to play this game (one of mine does) and I would prefer to handle that part of his education myself (and yes, I do turn off General on his toons). 2) I don't want to see same sex flirt options, just as much as others want to have those options. If this feature were optional (ie having both an 'enable relationships' and 'enable same sex relationships' option in Social) those that want it can use it, those that don't want it don't have to see it. Keep it fair, Bioware.
  13. Count me as a vote to have the upcoming same sex relationships as a feature you can disable. Heck, I'd like to disable the relationship feature altogether, not just the same sex. In an ideal world we'd have two new options under social; enable relationships and enable same sex relationships. BTW, this post was edited by a forum Community Rep to take out some inflammatory content. Where that originally irked me, it seems that this censoring is being done with an even hand. Thanks for leaving the important points of this post, rather than deleting it altogether.
