Did I hear this right?

What is "SGR"..?

Last post for me...must get sleep...zzzzzzz

Anyhow, to answer your question, SGR=Same Gender Romance. Also known as SGRA=Same Gender Romance Arc.

If you see OGR=Opposite Gender Romance.

Yes, it would be wonderful to finally have a confirmation on this quote, or really to have any new information on this issue.

Um, it would be 10 then, if you set a scale, you can't go over said scale.

Yeah, except the scale actually goes to 11. Either way, he thinks SGRA's are super important, it's awesome. Still, I'd put the game-breaking bug fixes (my other healer is currently stuck on the infinite loading screen) at 11.

I'm certain I could be wrong, it's happened once before, but...I actually think he was going the opposite way...meaning, 1st priority through 10th...at least, that's how I read it. I was under the impression he didn't want them at all...as in like the 40th most important thing...

He was using it as 1 = most important, 10 = least important, and then employing hyperbole. Did you know that rhetoric was once one of the "seven liberal arts"? But I digress.

This isn't about whether same-gender romance ought to be in the game, whether it is more or less important than any other content, or trying to push some alleged agenda. It really isn't.

I want to know if Gabe Amatangelo was, in fact, correct in thinking same-gender companion romances are coming as part of the content patch which brings us Makeb.

I am hoping that, as the news is half-leaked already and was at one point almost confirmed by a writer deeply involved in the companion character design end of things, and with Makeb being closer than it was, I might get an answer to this.

I know that's how it meant it, but everything is open to interpretation and, for the most part, it is how your works are interpreted and remembered that matter most (The Prince comes to mind).


I estimated mid-December, didn't I? For a large content patch they'd probably like to start hyping it about mid-November, particularly if we get Free2Play dropping next week some time (30/10 or 1/11) and they want to market it to the F2P crowd. Given that they've been hush-hush about this content for little over a year now, if we assume Mr. Amatangelo is correct, they should be hanging bunting pretty soon.

I assume Mr. Amatangelo is correct because nobody has come forward to say he isn't. Then again no one's said he's correct, except Mr. Hood in his Twitter feed, but he was apparently eaten by a giant venus fly trap and is still trying to fight his way free of those terrifying jaws, so we'll have to wait for further confirmation there.

Edit: Haha! I'm an idiot, erroneous "not". Derp.

No, Hall pointed to Gabe's interview, calling it "the official word", but pulled the tweet later without comment. So at best it is a non-confirmation confirmation. No one from BioWare has actually refuted Gabe's statement anywhere I've seen. People popping up of their own accord to say "this will never be in the game" are, of course, a dime a dozen.

I... wrote that badly. I think it should have said "no one's not saying he's not correct"?

I need to re-write that sentence.
