Then I guess he didn't want to talk about it. He wanted to nickpick and poke without actually engaging in discussion.

and to think he had the nerve to call someone else a troll

Nadia is an adult woman, who's overprotected by an overbearing single father if memory serves me right. The storyline goes out of the way to show that every chance it gets.

There was actually ONE romantic encounter that smacked a little bit of pedophilia, although it wasn't. Because My agent actually says that the NPC looked like a 12 year old. (Ki Sazen). She isn't, but still, it was a little odd to say that and then sleep with her. :P

The cable news title would feature the title "Underage Sexual Content in Star Wars The Old Republic? What are your kids playing?" where I state that all of the characters are 12 years old while the PC is 160 without having ever played the game.
Naa - people just use the excuse "Oh, I was being facetious/sarcastic/using humor" when being busted on their ignorance/trolling.

Obviously you were not being 'facetious' until you got shot down by people.

Well, they tell you she's an adult but she has the demeanor of a 16 year old. Nadia's youth was a running joke in my guild around launch.

"You know Nadia's like, 14 right?"
"What, really?"
"Nah, they tell you she's an adult but that's obviously just to keep the police off their backs. She's clearly a kid."

Please, tell me more about how the obvious exaggerations smiley faces in the OP were not part of a joke. Did you really think I felt nervous romancing the characters that all had codex entries professing their age and that I thought Bioware is filled with lecherous writers interested in underage girls whose lewd fantasies were bleeding into their work?

Then it must surly be the truth if it was a joke in your guild at launch.

Guess the part concerning an "overbearing, overprotective single father" didn't really sink in yet, did it?

So what they shouldn't be so girly? Is that what you are saying? Very few of them are. Kira is not, Dorne is not, Raina is not etc... Nadia is a bit, but that is due to her protected life. Same thing with Ashara. Maturity comes with experience, you have to see some life. Mako looks and sounds girly but she doesn't act like it. This lead's us to Vette who is going to be teen even if she is 70 years old. That's just who she is
That's for the companions. So why are the NPC's so young and naive? You have to remember the player base. A lot of the players are teens (or so it was intended) and let me tell you one thing... Insecure young teen boy is not going to romance a female that is more mature and older than he is.
I understand that it creates entirely different reaction to older people, but you cannot make the characters to fit all ages. This game is rated T. If it was rated M of A, I bet there hadn't been need for this, and this conversation had never happened.
