Zaxem Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What's stupid? That they started somewhere or that they included it at all? You need to remember - it's still a STORY! You'll be able to romance (presumably) the main charter in your story...male or female. Imps main character looks to be a Sith lord who's seen more than a few sabre battles in his time, the Pubs main character looks to be a rugged smuggler type npc, similar to a female Han Solo. the reason he is mad along with other people is because if empire wants to have same sex romance we are forced to do it with a male instead of having a male and female for both factions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookysage Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hey Bioware, be sure to come to Dragon*con so my girlfriend and I can show off our imperial agent and bounty hunter cosplays. What a stupid idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelther Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) we are forced to do it with a male Just as I though. No one wanted SGR for the sake of SGR. All the guys just wanted their female chars to have a fade to black lesbian make out. I bet if Makeb included female-only options for both sides everyone would be happy. Now to troll you guys: I always knew the empire was gay Edited March 26, 2013 by Aelther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Expecting them to do multiple NPCs so you have your choice of gender, is expecting too much imo. an entire planet worth of quests, enough to give you 5 levels... and its too much to expect one of each gender npc? huh? how is that too much? I mean... certain classes have 2 npc choices to romance for a single gender, sometimes giving you up to 4 possible romances of varying depth PER class. asking for 4 npc's total instead of two is too much now? they are not even class specific. I honestly don't think bioware thought that one through. but I'm not surprised. resigned. but not surprised. however, it doesn't mean that them making that choice is fine and totally acceptable.

jankiel Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I'd think the game is about Star Wars themes and such but noooo. It's about sexuality. SGR for the win This is so silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emencie Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What's wrong with that? Nothing except for a year people have been acting like it was some sort of injustice, and even now they are. And I believe that if the SGR were both female no one would care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to troll you guys: I always knew the empire was gay Ummm, where did you get that from? And, so what? Are male players not allowed to do this? And no, making all options female-only would not make everyone happy, absolutely not and I would be disappointed if this was the case, even though I have no interest in it.

Allow me to show you where he got that from. I take that as an insult for the Empire. FINALLY!!! Pubs get the better end of the deal. Just as long as i get the film rights on the repub side I'm golden with this.. roll on !! Bow Chica wow WOw! serious note : that does seems strange that choice....but maybe it was easiest to implement at the start and roll out the changes later. I smell a bit of sexism from the BW table! Great...guess twice if all my level 50 imps are females I will be quite unhappy if my female Mara can't have SGR...But I'm hoping this "empire is male, republic is female" stuff is the result of a game of telephone, and not official. ... this makes me want to consider playing my pubs as my main now Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! this is stupid. shame on u bioware the reason he is mad along with other people is because if empire wants to have same sex romance we are forced to do it with a male instead of having a male and female for both factions and of course your first post.

Wodaz Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wait wut?!? The jedi code doesn't allow this!! This should be sith exclusive!! If you want a relationship then go to the dark side!!

Soxbadger Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Romance options arent exactly equal amongst classes already. Inquisitor storyline has 1 female companion romance option, warrior has 2. Its not always even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalenMourne Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Female same gender is on empire side as well. Its in the macro binocs quest line, its just not as big as the main quest one. Ill assume pubs get a dude on macro binocs. And dulfy said that in her coverage, you all just flipped out without reading the rest. Love it when people see one thing negative and gloss over the rest. Keen-jerk reactions make me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookysage Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 If the equal option is obscure enough that people flip out anyway because they haven't found out about it yet, I'd say it's not quite equal enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithKoriandr Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 As for the title of this thread. No. What it is, even if it was just the main quest giver, is that it would be limited to the main quest giver. This doesn't mean "empire is gay and republic isnt" First off, your character who's gay would already make that statement untrue. Second, it just means that would be the only NPC currently with the option. In fact, not having the option currently doesn't mean there isn't gays in star wars, what it means is, you dont have the flirt option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaVinciDilemma Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 First off, your character who's gay would already make that statement untrue. I dunno... if Corso is to be believed, my smuggler totally digs women anyway, and has a horde of smuggler-spawn waiting to ask for child support. All happened behind my back, believe me. But would Corso lie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, apparently if you play a male imperial agent, even if you don't flirt with anyone, he was an unstoppable ladies' man up until the point you started playing him. Oh, look what got shunted off to the backwaters of the Story and Lore forum, surprise surprise. Edited March 27, 2013 by spookysage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
