My opinion: He was having a Tera flashback to the character creaton screen, got disoriented and thought it was part of a story covo as he returned to consciousness at his computer.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

And they were hundred years old!
"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more...than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so *********** what." - Stephen Fry

But I digress...

So.. what.. 7 pages in and what have we learned? That peoples taste in other parties to be romanced are all over the map. We have people who are uncomfortable with romancing jail bait and we have people who are uncomfortable romancing old gummers... and everything in between. Conversely.. we have people who are completely fine with both extremes as well as everything in between... including soup cans... err.. I mean Scorpio.

I quit reading anything but my own posts and those that responded to them a long time ago. Has anyone asked why it was not possible to engage both Malgus and said "soup can" at the same time yet? Because, you know, if precautions weren't taken, that might chafe.

Male warrior got 2 kids, male consular got kid, male inquisitor got kid, male bounty got kid. But it's not majority. OP, you are exaggerating.

You know Zakaan, I just now noticed your avatar. Now with my Garza comments, I feel kinda creepy.

Was just a coincidence I assure you.

It makes me uncomfortable.
So far I've played through 3 of the romances on 3 Republic classes: Trooper, Smuggler, and Consular.

All three appeared to be a romance with adult women.

The only one I haven't played through so far, as my Knight is a female, is the first female companion you get. And she's also an adult woman.

So I'm with the others... not sure what or whom you're referring to.

Power fantasy? It would seem to me that you are reading your own nefarious doings into this. I swear sometimes people are just hell bent on finding some sort of agenda in everything.
