Re: No same-gender romances in SWTOR.
One good thing is TOR is an MMO, so they could easily add new romance options in with a later patch. Something I hope they do if the poll and response keeps going as heavy as it has been.
This. ^^^
Plus, hello, if we're on SW:TOR, there will be gay romance. And gay drama. And gay catfights. And general gay-osity of all kinds. It's an RPG. And we will be creating our own characters. So there will be gay characters, and everything that comes with it. Just not from the devs, and not with the NPCs.
I can live with that.
Surprisingly, I can't.
It's like being invited to a party as vegetarian and the only food you are offered is meat. Why should I go to such a party. For me it has reached a point of all or nothing. A point where I feel hurt and only an apology and explanation will do.
That's an odd analogy. For me it would be like being invited to a party and finding out that, because I'm Oriental, I couldn't make out with the refrigerator. I'm totally cool with that. Pre-programmed romances with NPCs bore me; however, some people like that kind of thing and I'm cool with that, too. (Although, deep down, I feel people should be directing their affections towards other humans, and not worrying whether or not the NPCs are into them.)
