Eldren Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I know BioWare has indicated this will be patched into the game in the future, but my question is why it wasn't patched in at release. I don't think it's a grand conspiracy on BioWare's part to hold down alternative lifestyles, it might have a lot more to do with having to record additional dialogue and animate additional cutscenes, but the fact remaining is this: my Marauder is female. I want to romance Jaesa. I'm doing everything I can to keep her rep high with me. Any time I've talked with Quinn I've assiduously avoided any flirt conversational options. Has anyone heard anything from BioWare about when this is going to be patched in? Likewise, how is it going to work with existing companions? I'm pleased they saw the light in Dragon Age 2 and the upcoming Mass Effect 3 in allowing each companion to be a potential romance option regardless of gender. I'm just curious why this wasn't done with Star Wars: The Old Republic, and why nothing has been said about it since the game has gone live.

Oogadishou Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'd say it's a pretty small issue when compared with the amount of bugs present in the game. I wouldn't expect it until they start releasing major content patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvonuk Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 To be honest there are much more pressing issues to fix before this pathetic complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptKloss Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 but... if they do it BEFORE fixing any of the dozens of IMPORTANT things that are currently broken.... all that will be left in this game is glbt "community" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 no one knows. yeah. no firm date announced that I know of. I want to romance Kira! Regarding romancing, I initially thought it was player envoked, but on my smuggler the other day, Corso started hitting on me when we got back to the ship. I kind of like it that he took the initiative. I'm still going to make him my love slave though, so he better tone down the aggressive romancing a bit.

Kourage Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I'm cool with female + female romance. By the way, an official response was given and when they lock this thread, they'll give you the quote. http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/09/13/swtor-companions-will-have-same-sex-romance-options-eventuall/ Originally Posted by StephenReid Official statement follows: 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. Because The Old Republic is an MMO, the game will live on through content expansions which allow us to include content and features that could not be included at launch, including the addition of more companion characters who will have additional romance options.

Sttm Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Was there any homosexual characters in the movies? Because if there is not then that is something Bioware would be adding into the Star Wars universe, and they might not be able to do that without Lucas's approval. They already have to set the game so far in the past none of it makes any sense. They might just not have the control to implement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraylessa Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Unfortunately, I don't think it's likely until a major content patch. It's not something that's likely to be patched in with bug fixes. I'm with you though. I can't imagine romancing any of the male companions I've gotten on any of my characters so far. Some of the females seem like much more desirable options.

Caldric Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Who cares how about adding some real players to the game so I can interact with them once in a while or kill them. That is a bit more important than all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleinone Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As a heterosexual male, I too am waiting for SS romance so I can create a female character, have her be into chicks, and not feel weird about it. Currently all my characters are male due to the requirement that all my characters must be straight. But man, the day SS romance is implemented, I'm making me a body type 3 blonde who is going to be all about the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thormart Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yup, the Cathar chick companion was bisexual. She was actually pure lesbian. If you hit on her as a male she does NOT appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that a large percentage of the straight men on the game will play female chars and want to romance the ladies. That is more than likely why they put it off.
