lol, awesome.

^^ sure, i hear you...i thought about that myself at first too, and i'd be okay with this argument if there weren't females in other important roles in the game...all of the playable classes for example...or trainer, council member, commander, darth, etc etc. if the game was set in an age of gender inequality there wouldn't likely be females in any of these roles...but i appreciate that you're at least thinking about the potential context, instead of just posting some "body-type 4" giggle-giggle attention-seeking nonsense ...and just for the record, i'm not necessarily saying that any video game has to be PC to be fun, not at all, in fact, sometimes the anti-politically correct themes in games are what make them interesting. however, if they're going to bother putting romantic/sexual storylines, emotes, and conversations into the game, why leave a good percentage of the target audience out? why not throw a few more flirt options, conversation choices, and holodancer npc's of both genders in there just for a little balance? i don't think that's asking too much from a game like this...otherwise why not just go with asexual storylines like other games? my female character can run around wreaking havoc on the whole universe if she so chooses...why can't she get a little action now and then?

^^yes...but i'd say it's a human thing. everyone enjoys a little attention now and then. men and women may seek it in different ways...my sexy husband doesn't seem to mind at all when women compliment him, either...but don't try to tell me that guys linking their fancy new modded-out lightsabers in chat or boasting about their bada$s deeps or "bbl, going to the gym" aren't fishing just a little bit, too...

...lol. clever. kind of missing the point, but clever. besides, anyone can roll a character that can equip a vibrostaff and do as they please in the privacy of their ship, but there are still only female twi'lek dancers in the public cantinas... so my question still stands...in this galaxy far away, is it such "a long time ago" that the universe is still so sexually repressed that women and gay men can't go out to a club for a good time and throw a few credits at some hot gyrating blue-tinted bald males with tattoos? a few chippendale-rattatakis. that's all i ask.

yes, what ^^ said... many women enjoy kicking back with some friends & sipping on a drink while checking out some muscular eye-candy...and if you believe otherwise you're either terribly misinformed or living in denial. ...and since it was brought up, why NOT have some gay cantinas in the diverse galaxy as well? if bioware has the forethought to include same-sex companion relationships in their storylines, why in the universe would there not be social hangouts for our gay friends as well? besides, some of us girls choose to go to gay bars to party sometimes anyway...because gay men are often very easy on the eyes, fun to dance with and there's no pressure or sad, drunken pick-up lines to avoid when it's closing time...

i second this!

i feel that a type 4 body would be a little too much for you to handle, little boy

dear swtor devs, where in the universe is my cantina with some hot male rattataki holodancers?
