Then every update will have nothing in the game but adding in stuff for all th especial groups and nothing about star wars.

This game is about star wars, people are playing it because of star wars not because they can or cannot have a gay relationship with their companions.
bioware has already said they will....and cmon...look at what happened with 1.3,they gave us some much needed features with twice the number of bugs to match.....and even that much took months of complaining

its therefor logical to expect them to introduce awhole bunch of interesting stuff during the holiday spending season,when people are more generous with wallet paper o.o

for one group to claim there mating preferences are the natural way is just wrong...they key point is,everyone`s preferene of mate gender is the natural way,because it comes from human minds...this is logical

whats not right,is people shoving stuff into each other`s faces....straight has no right to do that to gays,and vice versa

but unfortunately our world is not logical,it goes one way and then swing to another like a jackhammer,so you my freind are caught in the wake of this cultural swing,as am i in some odd circumstances unpleasently

Again point taken. Not sure if you read my post on page five. I posted a lengthy post. For the record I do just want the game to be about SW and not real life stuff. Not to sound insulting to anybody but I just don't see how real life issues have anything to do with a Star Wars game. I do however indulge in the debate as I find it interesting that so much people push to have real life in a game. It is supposed to be our escape from our reality. To be clear I look at it from a statistical standpoint. I see same sex romance hurting the game not because of what it stands for, but because those who are gay are actually the minority and thus from a data standpoint the mere idea of it being in the game might not be practical. No offense folks but simply put it deals with numbers...there are less of you then there are less of those who don't want it in the game. In the end the numbers won't lie, and a business will not add something just because a few want it.

His post suggests being gay is wrong, that it will harm children if they are subjected to a storyline I
involving something gay. That's a homophobic, uneducated attitude. One that shouldn't be tolerated because its an opinion. There are lots of people out there with opinions they know are very very wrong.

If subs drop due to the gay option, option that is, as in it's not being forced upon anyone, then I would be flabbergasted.

If subs drop over a gay option for gay players that straight players don't need to actually take part in if they don't want to, then we'll have a few less homophobes around.

I can already see the QQing though when some companions won't be able to be romanced, it'll be inevitable I already can see it. Future companions though will be fully. Now could they do it for all? Perhaps, but don't stay closed minded that all of them will be.

I wouldn't say its law so much as it is just going to be implemented. I would also speculate that if the feature is added then a content feature should be added for parents who do not want their children subjected to it. However just because BW says it is going to be implemented does not mean it will be as desirable as you all think. In fact we have all seen how the romancing is in the game currently. So in all actuality I would be willing to bet that the story line will be no different then it is currently, but you will be able to have the romance so to speak with the same sex or the option to not. Key in on where I said my speculation.
