you clearly haven't read my posts nor a few of the other ones floating around.

Another thing I'm noticing is a failure to fully utilize and understand how the ESRB rating board works. Yes there's a lable on there that has the equivalent of a tl;dr on why it's rated that way but on the website they provide a still brief but more functional synopsis of what you get, now the depicted acts of violence for the most part are "camera tricked" out of shot (i.e. shoving your lightsaber through a person throat) Therefore the depiction of violence is subtle at best, is it hinted at that it is a far worse act that what you saw? Yes, Do they show it? No. so it's really left to your imagination as far as the violence scale of things goes. Now romance arcs...I am going to go on a limb and assume everyone here has had a relationship with the sex of their choice. I'll go even further oveboard and assume that most of those relationships spanned out into a sexual relationship (I know, I know between gaming session and raids we can't be bothered with "rl" we got empires to run!) so when this all happened did you stop and think? Holy **** I'm sexually assaulting a person I have no interest in (protip: If you did, that was ****, not sex) as such is the romance arcs in this game, don't want to to start 'em? Don't. Don't have any intention to bang Vette? Guess what? My 50 Jug has yet to bang, sleep with, marry, kiss, sexually assault, grope, feel up, cup a feel, or even so much as give the slightest notion of sexual interst in vette. The closest I got was once she talked to my juggernaut and guess what, the conversations apnned out how I planned it to. It was civil, and it provided me with the affection gain and the story gain I needed in that particular instance. The problem I am seeing here isn't that the gmae in inherently evil, it's that the player in this case (op) is looking for a reason to put on an aluminum foil hat and try to white knight everything. The reason you see all this negatives? You're LOOKING for them, by playing the story as evil as possible to try to see what's wrong with it. Believe me, you can still capp darkside points with making a few light decisions here and there. I did it, I won't do it again but I also am able to seperate a video game from reality. I mean, that's just me though, I may not be adding to the conversation but really. I think the OP has no point and is looking for something to protest and raise a banner over. ~Nick. k, I'm good. flame away. Edit in order to save space and from posting again. The T rating, leave it. the game itself is designed around a T rating format, little violence, a few shocking moments which are all also nullified by the fact that you can kill x to start genocide y IF YOU WANT TO, but then again you can leave x alive to not kill race y and instead save race y and brush them out of the empires radar...come on people, it's not that hard. I know I know, "NkSde you're stoppid you are teh lyk gaeighest dood here I cannot believe you aare pusting on muh forumzzz lollllls." but if you talk like that personally I don't think your opinion matters.

Also people seem to overlook the fact that Vette is a SLAVE from a majority SLAVE RACE in star wars lore among the empire and, she's only 1 of 2 female companions the warrior has, and the other one. don't get me started on her, she scares me... Then there's the fact that even as a female Sith guess what, still get Vette. is that same sex sexism? I don't get your argument here you want equal treatment of a digital slave character in a video game that you can take the collar off of as soon as you get into Dromund Kaas your treatment of her unfairly was your own choice not the game designers. So truely, to believe that the game is designed in a manner that isoffensive towards females as a definitive is a false claim. You can treat your companion as nice or as mean as you want, by you CHOOSING to treat her bad you truely have noone to blame but yourself OP. Maybe you are in fact the evil on in this post. I know when I was using vette (yes I use jaesa sue me) I treated her like someone I would want to watch my back in a firefight...but that's just me. I'm gunna go hide behind my conspiracy theorist shield now and hope the evil sexist bioware doesn't attack me.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Platform: Windows PC Rating: Teen Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Mild Language, Sexual Themes, Violence Rating summary: In this massively multiplayer online (MMO) role-playing game, based on the Star Wars universe, players engage in a fictional conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Players can choose from classic Star Wars roles (e.g., Jedi Knight, Bounty Hunter, Trooper) and complete quests to determine their path down the light or dark side of the Force. Players use light sabers, laser blasters, and telekinetic powers to battle a variety of human-like enemies and fantastical creatures (e.g., aliens, cyborgs); battles frequently depict characters getting shot with lasers, slashed with light sabers, or shocked with lightning bolts. During the course of the game, players are presented with interactive cutscenes in which their choices play a vital role in the outcome of their story (e.g., using electrical attacks on restrained characters to collect information; killing someone instead of letting him go). Some sequences depict brief instances of blood and gore: to complete one quest, players must dip a skull in a pool of blood; in another mission, players deliver a severed head to a specific location and place it on a pike. Players can freely explore many areas in the game, including clubs that depict scantily clad female dancers with exposed cleavage; some sequences include dialogue with sexual innuendo (e.g., “An hour. I think I'm insulted. We'll need the whole night,” “I'll be sure to make conjugal visits,” and “Come, dear, let's forgo the nuptials and proceed to the honeymoon.”). The words “damn” and “hell” can be heard in dialogue throughout the game.
