As we all know, that percentage doesn't represent all players, so adding same sex romance options is the fair, right thing to do.
Now, it's going to annoy some people, and outrage others, but put yourself in the shoes of a gay person and think how much heterosexual media is out there compared to homosexual. It's only over the last couple of decades that we've seen gay storylines on mainstream telly, there are very very few mainstream films and games that are based, or have in them, gay storylines.
For too long homosexuality has been ignored, and it's about time the media put some decent representation in games, films, telly, etc.
So sorry if you have no interest in it, sorry if you think it's a waste of time, but in all honesty, and I'm not saying this to be rude, but tough. Learn to live with it.
Not to be rude to you, but you might think it has been far to long but others may not. Read my post on page five and respond if you like. Also read the post here on page six. The fellow that stated he was not from this country made a comment that I think makes sense. Of course that is strictly my opinion.

His name is kalfear and his post is pretty genuine.

im still waiting for what BW say and im still waiting for the SR arcs...

since looks like all we can really do is wait...


BW need to learn customers do not forget what they say.. and we Are still waiting.. but the problem is.. we are gething tired of wait..
and how long we will keep waiting? thats the real question..
but once again, looks like BW already drop the ball on this game.. i think we will see sooner the F2P implement on this game before we see anything else.. lol.

at this point im just about to be ready for move on... we shall see what 1.4 have to say.. until the, all we can do is.. we keep waiting

I doubt you have any proof that this game is even close to f2p. Secondly this topic is about Same Sex Romance not f2p or whether or not the game is a failure.

So what your saying is that it shouldnt be ignored but forced upon everyone. If you want to play with a gay companion then RP with them all you want. You can kiss a companion with an emote just the same as I can.

What your really saying is that the game has to put it in because you want it. I want free flight space missions and I want to hunt jedi and I want to have houses etc etc etc. If you dont like that this game doesnt have same gender romances then sorry this game isnt for you, quit and go find a game that does.
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

I'm aware that people have different opinions, that's fine with me. Virtually everything posted in these forums is opinion.
In all honesty, I'd prefer my games without any romancing. But if they include romance, then it should represent straight and gay.
The trouble with this subject is that there are alot of people who are blatantly homophobic, and there are some people that aren't necessarily homophobic, but are a bit put off by the whole thing. Equality takes time, I understand that. Just looking at history tells us how long it can take. We live in a different kind of world now, one where the media plays a huge role in most of our lives. So again, I'm sorry to the people that don't agree, but if there's going to be straight romance in games, in films, on telly, there have to be some gay ones too, to be fair. I know it's tough for some people to take, but that's life I'm afraid. There's things out there I'm not happy about, but just because I don't like it it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
