So I've been away from this for about a year, I don't suppose there has been any real progress made in the game yet concerning this to convince me to come back.

The fox news scandal on Mass effect, only helped it, so I wonder what affect this will have.

You're right Lucas did say all those things, and they have been true all these years. However the moment he decided to sell it all to Disney, and signed on the dotted line, those old interview words essentially became null and void, as shown by the coming episode VII, and the press conference where he has placed the future of his creation into Disney's hands, and I imagine Disney has their own plans for the future of the Star wars universe.

Exactly. Bug fixes, mini games, and all the other wonderful things are wanted in the game as well.

The ability was in beta, people complained after killing off their healer etc, and then wanted them back. So Bioware removed the ability to kill off your companions

Well said.

I don't expect them to go back and spend time adding it to pre-existing content, however if they plan to add SGR to future story content, I'd be content with that.

Bug fixing and SGR are not the people working on them, so writers and voice-actors aren't going to fix your bugs. I really want them bugs fixed as well, my partner still gets D/Ced after black talon and other FPs, and we've been playing since day one.

Don't use arbitrary numbers that you can't back up.

The only digital item that I've really used is the mount anyways, rest is sitting in the bank. I was looking forward to seeing some unique cool items in the future for the CE store, so it's a shame that never happened.

I still haven't bought Makeb, because I am waiting to learn more about it, the price is irrelevant.

Yeah, the CE issue got an answer, it wasn't a happy one, but it was an answer about the future of the CE store.

Seeing the lack of CE store updates is disappointing, however I am still happy with my CE purchase, as I bought it for the physical items, not the digital ones, those were just bonuses on top for me.

Seeing some people freaking out over on general now that SGR has been reconfirmed, is disappointing, but not surprising in the least. And it's not even companions, it's only NPC same-gender flirts.

Hearing about SGR flirt options on Makeb is good news, though I suspected that companion SGR was delayed. However it is an answer like we asked for, so thank you Bioware for finally giving that much. With my subscription running out in less then a week, they give an answer to make me rethink letting it run out and moving on.
