Tsetso Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 So he whined and sulked a lot? More or less. A shy farm boy that is too one-sided to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyFlynn Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Corso is a very caring, coddling, somewhat overprotective, old soul romantic who treats his Fem Smuggler like a constant damsel in distress, who can appear somewhat naive in the ways of love and who goes into a huff if the Fem Smuggler so much as looks at another man and becomes quite whiny about it. For some that might be considered super sweet and loving.. I'm personally not much into that, he's almost too sweet at times. Then again my Fem Smuggler totally bumped uglies with Skavak and would have continued if she hadn't been forced to kill the guy sooo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshvara Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 What makes Corso pathetic in my eyes is how he seems to find it okay enough to stay with you while you screw around with all the men. I think he said something along the lines of " when all the guys are gone, I'll still be here" like what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the female smuggler, he was a last minute thought of "Wait, she needs a love interest." Smuggler was written to be played as a male (likely a mirialan at that). Not something to be upset over, just how it was. While they haven't stated it (like they did with smuggler), I'd bet Inquisitor was written to be female.

SithKoriandr Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 why miralian? I base that purely on the "I'm the chiss" "Okay. Wait. Aren't chiss blue." line. Only works well imo for Mirialan, as twi'leks are to well known, human would be the same. A green skinned alien however...seems the most plausible.

Neshira Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I just wanna be able to romance Kira/Vette as a female. It's seriously stupid that as a female player your options are so limited in most storylines and you meet your only romance option so late into the game. I mean you don't even get Doc as a knight until Balmorra. And Sith ladies basically have "Evil sheep who does everything the empire says without question and hates when you have a mind of your own" or "Just play effing evil". There's no chance at all for any sith who isn't a complete homocidal sociopath or empire loving fangirl. Not to mention that honestly I prefer to romance females as a female in game anyway. With Bioware who has always shown more tolerance and equality than any other company I would have expected all the companions to be romanceable by either gender long ago. They were promising it at launch saying "We just didn't have time to implement it, it'll happen soon!" and it still hasn't happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aowin Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 They were promising it at launch saying "We just didn't have time to implement it, it'll happen soon!" and it still hasn't happened. When did BioWare ever promise to have same-sex relationships at launch? I've been following this game since it was initially confirmed and the website went up October 2008. Nowhere in any of the pre-launch marketing did I ever see BioWare promise same-sex romance. Truth be told, I don't even think BioWare commented on romance that much in general. I remember most of the focus being on "stylized realism," the "epic Star Wars combat," and the "player-driven story." You have to remember that the SWTOR team began formation in 2006 and they didn't start actual world-building and writing until 2007. At that time, BioWare didn't really have a lot of options for romance besides heterosexual love interests. There were hints at a lesbian relationship with Juhani in KotOR 1. There may have been a same-sex possibility in Jade Empire, although I honestly don't remember. Mass Effect 1 originally released in late 2007 on the Xbox 360 and I'm fairly certain there weren't any romance options besides heterosexual, at least for Male Shep. Male Shep could have either Liara or Ashley and Fem Shep could have Kaiden? It wasn't until 2009 with Dragon Age: Origins that I remember BioWare making a concerted effort to have more than just heterosexual romances. Dragon Age, in general, has been far more progressive pushing the boundaries as much as possible, and that was largely because of David Gaider and his team. He made it a priority to have more variety in romances. He has since left BioWare and who knows if that will have an impact on BioWare's development with regard to trying to appeal to a larger audience that isn't just heterosexual males. Since RotHC, BioWare Austin has made an attempt at appealing to heterosexuals and homosexuals. That has carried through in SOR, KOTFE, and I expect it will continue in KOTET. I doubt class companions will ever be rewritten to be lesbian or homosexual as they were not intended that way. What's more likely to happen is new characters will be introduced, like Lana or Theron, who have a wider variety of sexual orientations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyaniteD Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 It could be indicative of where the game and its player base might be heading... Maybe it will be turning into a Star Wars Dating Sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
