  1. I agree that it would make romanceable characters more interesting and well-rounded if they could possibly rebuff you for various reasons - overall morality, a specific major action, friendliness with a particular faction, personal hygiene, etc. However, I don't think gender should be a deciding factor. Given the limited number of (long-term) romanceable characters even in an extensive RPG, I think herosexuality is a good compromise. If every sexuality were to be presented with several exclusive options of equal quality, that would be a great alternative, but making a smaller pool more flexible is probably a much more reasonable request. I also think there's a big difference between being rejected and not even being able to express interest in someone. Maybe Vette isn't interested in a romance with another woman. But my Sith Warrior is, and I'd have appreciated the option to make an advance even if it meant immediate rejection. Regardless of an NPC's sexuality, the player character's should be able to be expressed.
  2. I'm disappointed that a few of my characters will remain romance-less, especially my Sith Warrior lady, but at least some of the others will have an opportunity. And I'm hopeful for the future. Also, the two gay NPCs are sort of the face of the game right now, and that's pretty brilliant.
  3. It would be nice if gender were not so binary, in general. For instance, the choices of body type, voice, and pronouns (including a gender-neutral "they") could be completely separate options, not tied together in a predefined gender package. Something like that plus a decent selection of hero-sexual LIs, and I'd be over the moon.
  4. Unless they were written as gender-neutral in the first place, which personally I'd have no problem with. But of course that's a moot point as far as SWTOR goes.
  5. On the pre-launch forums, the 20+ incarnations of the SGRA thread had a poll asking which romance options you would pursue, including an option for those who would not pursue romances at all. 30% consistently answered that they would pursue SGRAs. That is not an insignificant number, and it doesn't even include those who wouldn't take part in SGRAs themselves but still supported their inclusion for others.
  6. SWTOR follows the KOTOR timeline and is on the same level of canon. If anything is relevant to SWTOR's continuity, it's KOTOR.
  7. What he said was that the earliest instance of SGRs, the ones on Makeb, will not be companion romances. He said that companion SGRs are delayed.
  8. It's so great to hear that SGRAs are finally on the way! Thank you!
  9. I'm so glad to hear that SGRAs will be introduced soon, even if it's not companion romances yet. It was quite a pleasant surprise to see this in the blog. I do still wish for some information on how future additional companion romances will be implemented, whether they'll be integrated into existing content or essentially stand-alone.
  10. Here's hoping my characters can find their special someones very soon.
  11. Vette is a great match for my juggernaut, Darth Sangreal, in strength of personality, and her lightheartedness balances out Sangreal's grouchiness well. Vette is a bright spot in what she sees as an otherwise rather grim world, and brings out the best in her. I dearly hope that Sangreal will be able to pursue a romance with Vette when SGRAs are finally launched.
  12. I might be too much of an optimist, but I'm still pretty hopeful for Makeb. While the confirmations were hushed up, the statement was never retracted, either.
  13. The FAQ mentions that, if we switch from subscription to F2P, These aren't covered on the comparison grid. What restrictions will be placed on these features? Will it affect our current items and inventory/character slots, or only not-yet-available items and slots? Will the F2P character limit be the current eight, or less? Will characters with subscription-only character creation options necessarily be locked if the subscription ends? Will there be an option to permanently unlock any of these with Cartel Coins?
  14. Except that being inclined romantically toward a certain gender does not mean that that you flirt with or are interested in everyone of that gender. How often do companions show romantic interest in other NPCs at all? I don't think I've ever encountered that.
