I am not saying its a feature that absolutly shouldn't be included in the game, I am just saying it shouldn't be something that is a make or break deal.

I am no homophobe, not at all. Of course I made my Shepard get all up in that alien babe, its fun.

But, I think thats exactly it, fun. A romance arc should be a little addition to the greater scheme of things, it shouldn't be a huge part of the story.

I would welcome the feature of same sex romance arcs, but I still think they are a bit silly overall.

If you want to have a romance arc, just RP it with someone else, it makes it more realistic and a little more private.

Obviously it's not a make or break deal. Most of us if not all would still play. My main focus with TOR is not to get some gay romance action. I can get that in rl. I think the issue here is that RAs make a character's story more... interesting? More personal.

And with the RA in general being available in TOR.. it would only make sense to include SGRA as well.

It's not like we're demanding it. Or at least, I'm not. But it's something that a lot of us would appreciate.

Wait what. I can RP with someone else in the middle of town in any game I want.
And some of you people are worried about NPC stuff? lol
Besides I doubt you can see other people dialogue choices and cut scenes with NPC.

Here is one more that's completely in favour of homosexual romance arcs.
This game must have [S-P-A-C-E | C-O-M-B-A-T].

Interactions between players and their companions will be private. I guarantee it. No one will know whether you have a relationship at all with your companion, they especially will not know whether it is gay or straight.

Remember we are the minority and no matter what we will be discriminated against.
Okay, A) I don't get why you have a problem with the SGRA's if you're not going to participate in them anyway, and B) it's easy to say you're gay, and then turn around and say you're going to be straight in the game "to avoid everyone laughing at" you. Not saying I don't believe you, just that it's incredibly convenient, given everything else you've said.
To be a Star Wars fan, one must possess the ability to see a million different failures and downfalls, and then somehow assemble them into a greater picture of perfection. Every true Star Wars fan is a Luke Skywalker, looking at his twisted, evil father, and somehow seeing good.

Hello all!

We've done a good deal of cleaning up the thread, but we find that it is still looming up to being closed for the length of the thread. A new thread has been created, which you can see here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=88366

As a reminder, this thread is simply a suggestion thread to add Same Gender Romance Arcs in along with the opposite Gender Romance Arcs. Please keep on topic of how it relates to The Old Republic. Anything else will be considered off-topic and be removed. Also remember to keep the discussion respectful and friendly.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,
Donna
