I endorse this idea wholeheartedly. This seriously NEEDS to be in game. I mean, running Talos around the fleet without a shirt or pants is fun, but when I have to clothe him again it makes me feel sad. I see no reason this shouldn't be in game. I will use it on EVERY human male crew member and character I have.

I got a title that most players in the game now won't have and a useless but thoughtful pre-order crystal. I don't expect anything else from BW for me just having been there from the beginning. There's no reason to.

I'm still allowed to post and I don't know whyyyyyyy Maybe BW will bring the SGRs in for my birthday in late February. That's so nice of them!

SGRs ! !

It's a great article! I love it, and the more attention this gets, the better. Although you say "There are almost 400 posts in the thread about SGRs on the official SWTOR forum, " Do you mean this topic? If so, this thread has over 4,000 posts and it's only the seventh incarnation. I may be mistaken, it wouldn't be the first time.

That is awesome! You are the kind of straight guy that I like, and I truly wish more were like you

Indeed. I know it was a joke when everyone else said it, but I'm thinking if BWA does put gay companions in this game, they'll honestly put them up for sale in that shop.

Agreed. Why play the game when you can just buy everything fun about it in one easy transaction? Yeah, no. I can't believe I'm admitting to this, but I'm honestly missing WoW right now.

Well my sub ends in a couple days, so I won't be on to cause havoc and incitement anymore, sadly. But I'll come back and lurk, just to see if anything develops. Hopefully it does. I made a hot male Jedi Guardian the other day and I wanna get in Doc's pants right away.

I already wrote GLAAD and they said they were looking into it. There's only so much they can do, which is why it's good that you're also hitting BW on all fronts. I also need to get my letter writing on one of these days! Maybe when my sub ends this week... After all, that which does not bend, breaks

Which begs the million credit question we've been asking this whole time: Why haven't they put it in yet? They have every green light possible, yet they still falter. It's a mystery of life and our society has been established for the soul purpose of uncovering it!

This is actually a feature I'd like to see here. It would look great and certainly bring more personality to the place.

I'm not opposed to romancing the opposite gender in this game just for the fun of it, but it's all only for the fun of it. Like I'm teasing my companion, only to shove them out an airlock after I get max affection with them. That said, some of the OGRomances are pretty damn creepy. Take Nadia for the Consular. She's barely out of her teens, and she feels so much younger than that. I wouldn't romance her if she gave me free purple crystals. Same with Ashara for Inquisitors.

It could be a condescending message, yes. They could just be trying to brush us off. After all you guys have done, they should know that they won't get rid of us that easily. Since the game began, BioWare has been terrified of displeasing their customers, that's why they give in to every demand made on these forums. They know any answer they give us will be met with outrage, so they're trying to play it as carefully as possible. They are afraid of us. It's unfortunate that this is what it's come to in regards to BW's first step into the MMO world. Maybe if they try again they'll learn that they can't please everyone and just stick to whatever they stand for (same sex relationships being one of them) and not what gives them the most money.

That's a very intriguing answer. Neither a yes or a no, but it tells us that they are indeed doing something about it, but in reality "soon" in the game business can mean anytime between now and the end of the game. BW has been very neglecting in this subject, but by the tone of that message it doesn't seem like it would be a no. Regardless, hearing this has given me the slightest degree of hope. Let's see if they don't betray that by thinking they can appease us with another "soon" and neglect us again for another year.
