For me -- Smuggler by far. The others are OKish and have some good moments.

My fave SW is LS as well so I wouldn't mind XD I will have to check that out...thanks for posting it.

It really doesn't matter. Both are great for PVE and both are solid for someone who occasionally PUG PVPs. You are only lvl 25 so I'd compare them when you hit a higher lvl (post 40) to see which one you like to play more. Also, what type of PVE content are you looking to do?

That's interesting (and I find it odd) considering that other BW games with SGR content have lots of either m/m or f/f fan fic devoted to various pairings (mainly PC plus romanceable companion). It's as if the lack of 'in game validation' for a pairing (FemWarrior/Jaesa for example) deters people from writing fan fic for them. I know I used to look for pretty much any SWTOR fanfic with an f/f pairing (any PC/companion) and didn't really find anything...gave up.

There's no source and you are correct. The devs said something like, companion SGRAs would be too hard to implement or something. We will probably only ever see "Makeb style" SGRAs in the future.

There really isn't. You can flirt with two females as a female (GSI quest givers) but nothing happens. Hard to say if they are really bisexual or not.

Never heard anything like that. 2.2 is on the PTS and that's definitely not included. I think we have to face that we aren't ever getting companion romance...too hard n stuff.

I'm pretty sure they are. Dulfy has a list of companion convos (with affection requirement triggers) on her blog and there seem to be specific romance ones separate from the regular ones (they have their own affection requirement). Edit: link here ...shows a list of 'possible additional romance triggers'.

Not in the 1-50 story content at least.

IMO Solo-pugging: Focus (basically, agreeing with LegendaryQuan) If you run with a decent group and have a healer....pick your personal fave.

I really don't see them going back and changing the existing group of companion dialogs. It's possible that if they expand upon current companion stories with new dialogs, they might also add in a SGRA path for some companions (this would be post 50/55 content for most). I doubt even this will happen though. We'll probably get more 'mini' romances with NPCs like Lembda and Lord Cytherat. They may also add in new companions that are shared between classes (possibly faction limited though) and these new companions may have a romance arc and may even have an SGRA one.

You can't change it...just speaking hypothetically.

Depends on where the gender check happens. If it only happens during the first romance convo and a romance flag is permanently set afterwards, then gender-changing after that fact shouldn't affect it (your now female character will possibly sound like a guy though). This is kind of how 'gender swapping' in Mass Effect 2 worked or in an older game like Baldur's Gate 2. The other possibility is that a gender check happens with every [Flirt] prompt. I think Neverwinter Nights 2 worked like this, so it was a bit of a pain to mod in a same-sex romance. In this case, there would be no way to 'trick' the system to get a companion SGRA. I do have extensive experience with such things

Oh...I really need to finish leveling my scoundrel and get her geared for Ops now.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think most starter outfits for companions aren't that memorable and often times there are similar options available. Kaliyo is a notable exception as her starter outfit is boss and suits her much better than the bulky bounty hunter armor (yeah..she's not even a bounty hunter). There's no other armor piece like that one in game (afaik). So, I'd like to see a moddable armor similar to Kaliyo's starter added for use by her or PCs but really don't care much about the others. Though, this would probably be a carter market item, ofc.

Yeah, I logged on to one of my imp toons on that server for maybe 15 minutes and he was the topic of discussion...some people were stating that they were reporting the flirt as a bug out of principle....then the discussion went to lesbians and how 'real' ones are ugly and all that. Probably why I typically do Makeb dailies on the Pub side.

Nah, I totally agree with you on that one. I still like the idea of 'herosexuality' where everyone is available to the PC regardless of gender but I don't much like it when it's only applied to straight male PCs while others (i.e., gay male PCs, straight female PCs, lesbian PCs) have limitations due to gender.

Hire an Assassin.

It's not possible. Nothing happens with those two.

Nah, some will still complain. Too bad for these 'complainers' I guess. They added male/male in Makeb and the game didn't fall under due to 'angry spammers'.

I have two questions: 1) How much crit are you going for? 2) What Watchman build do you use? Do you put extra points in Focus to pick up Swift Slash or Combat to get Dual Wield Mastery? Or something else entirely? I can't decide which is better, theoretically (haven't hit 55 yet on my Watch Sent).

The 'Customization of your Character' article says something about server transfers coming 6-8 weeks after patch 2.1. Anyone heard anything else about this?

I actually wasn't aware there were exceptions. Hey, my Jedi can handle it

I don't know, I think you could say the same about any work of fiction. People like to pick them apart XD It's subjective. Some of these things bother certain people but others don't care. I don't think you can base an argument along the lines of 'X shouldn't happen in a story/game b/c it's unrealistic' first and foremost because there are always going to be things included that are unrealistic and the only question is, what unrealistic things will certain people tolerate while others criticize and make fun of. Like Anakin's conception....lots of people don't bat an eye over it while it really bothers others. You could possibly argue that this shouldn't have been included for a variety of reasons but I don't think 'realism' is the issue.

Well, no one's saying people don't reproduce and/or aren't into having opposite-sex interactions (gay people can also reproduce, btw). My point is that there's a lot that happens to the PC that's 'extra-ordinary' including the type of people they meet and travel with (and possibly hook up with)....I'm not sure why the focus goes on 'too many same-sex options when talking about 'realism'. You don't have to do any of the SGR options if you think that having so many is unrealistic. Similarly, you don't have to do all the OGR options if you think having too many of those is unrealistic. I mean, every female that travels with a PC is romantically available for males...'real life' isn't quite like that. I don't see guys complaining that there are too many female options for their male character and that this is 'unrealistic' b/c irl they don't nearly have nearly that many options. This game is like that b/c it's fantasy and escapism. The romances are for 'fun' and some people like to do them so they are there for them. I'm not sure how you can justify limiting SGR options considering that.
