bleenX Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Ok i have a dilema here. I cant find answer anywhere, because search doesnt work in these forums, i cant check if this was answered before:) can i romance the same gender companion. for example my char female marauder romancing vette? i'm a guy and i want to play female char, but now i dont know what to do. Because i really dont want to romance male companion. If its not possible i would rather play male char:) Knowing that in previous bioware games you can romance the same gender companion, maybe you can do the same here? If not, maybe they are planing this in future or smth? thanks for answers:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photoheathen Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) The answer is no. Nobody knows their plans, but you will likely never be able to romance existing companions of the same sex. Too much work involved.

LiquidElectron Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 They said it might be possible after launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yotes Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Is this a real post? I was in Beta........but purposely did not pay much attention to little details like this, so I'd have something to look forward to when I did play. <Decembrist> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depizan Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Not yet. They have said that same sex romance options will be added post launch. I haven't seen anything more specific than that, though. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/113031-Same-Sex-Romance-Coming-to-The-Old-Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagerk Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It was stated that it was something they would look into AFTER launch, as of right now you cannot romance the same gender, but in the future...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyaka Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Same sex romances are not currently in the game, they will be added later. If you want some love....don't play a female character. Romance options for them are practically non-existent. Also...avoid being a Jedi. They won't get many opportunities due to their Jedi status.

Within the first few levels of being a Jedi Knight there's a romance option with an NPC on Tython. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kersypants Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hm. Good to know. I assumed they included ss romances already (because why not?), but I hope they add them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manananggal Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You clearly haven't played any other Bioware game lately... Dragon Age etc. pretty much had the full range of companion romances, for example. What's the matter? It's all entirely opt in. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorshum Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Better than "Soon". Not really. After launch could be ANY time after launch. the 21st, the 22nd, 3 years from now, the only thing it says is "Yes but not at launch." Soon at least, even in game dev time, implies you'll probably see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirulianne Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Something to read while passing the waiting time. http://christwire.org/2011/12/star-wars-the-old-republic-swtor-is-breeding-future-gay-penile-handlers/ Or how Bugs Bunny would have put it: "Whats up doc?"

Abriael Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 For males perhaps, but females get squat. Sorry about that....I only played a female. Wrong. Females get as many romance options as males. They only get them later, as you get Doc at a later level than you get Kira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyoko- Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not true at all on the Jedi comment. Within the first few levels of being a Jedi Knight there's a romance option with an NPC on Tython. Like Miyaka has said, there is no Tython romance for females. : ( My females have been pretty disappointed so far, though not super far into the game. So far as a Jedi I've had no romance and one, *one* flirt option. As a smuggler I've had one solid romance, which was great! But Ord Mantel was a desert for my supposedly flirty, charming smuggler, while I'm pretty certain males must have gotten a definite encounter. Back to the same-gender on Tython thing though (maybe a spoiler): like was said, it was not a romance, and I am sure she must have been for males. But short of that, wow it really felt like some overtones to me, with the whole sister bonding thing. I would almost say, with some imagination, it was implied. Kind of a slumber party vibe, at least. I guess I'm almost writing because I'm curious if anyone else felt the same way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortwave Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If we get to romance our companions, they should give us the ability to choke them out if they make us mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squizzo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I really don't understand why some people roll a female character, but then have a problem with romancing male characters. If you feel that you are so deeply emotionally invested in your character that romancing male characters makes you feel a little awkward inside, then perhaps you shouldn't have rolled a female in the first place.

Maidel Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I really don't understand why some people roll a female character, but then have a problem with romancing male characters. If you feel that you are so deeply emotionally invested in your character that romancing male characters makes you feel a little awkward inside, then perhaps you shouldn't have rolled a female in the first place. Ive got no issues with 'romancing' the male NPCs. I took the first flirt option I got in Coruscant (which got me blatantly knocked back!). The thing is, Im convinced that Kira is flirting with me! Thus, wanting to follow it up. I dont undertand why they cant simply open up the same options, I seriously dont think there would be any issues because the dialogue isnt gender specific from what Ive seen (well in most cases). Thus surely its a case of just removing gender from the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel that you are so deeply emotionally invested in your character that romancing male characters makes you feel a little awkward inside, then perhaps you shouldn't have rolled a female in the first place. I just like hearing the different voice acting. In all of Bioware's games, I've created both male and female characters, but the female characters all turn out to be lesbians. Whenever the male characters start flirting with my female character, it creeps me out and I have to tell them to knock it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
