Little Peeves

Maybe if you used the next one over.

All emotions are meant to lead to the Dark Side. A Jedi Vulcan would be unstoppable.

If (big IF) I ever play SWOR, it will be as a good Sith - one who throws off the restrictions of not being allow to feel anything like love, sadness and empathy.

Also, the Force judges sluts harshly. You need to organise a big SWOR slutwalk Sjofn to show that you and others refuse to be judged by it.

[Sjofn]

And this, in a nutshell, is pretty much why I can't be bothered with Bioware Romance.

Also, Tharan speaks like Tobias Fünke. I couldn't even begin to think of him sexually.

I actually really like Tharan, apparently I have a thing for swishy nerds.

And yeah, UnSub, light side sith seems like the way to go. All of the good without the weird emotionally stunted bullshit. And you'd come to my Slutwalk, right? 

[Crumbs]

There's an easy workaround, sure.  Just make sure to close your inventory window before opening the GTM. 

I've been finding many workarounds.  Maybe I should apply for beta?

I meant alphabetically.

There is no such thing as a GTM.

edit: Oh, maybe you meant Gay-themed movie?

I fixed it.  Will Bioware do the same?

Rumors of same sex relationships in a future content patch.

Rumors of same sex relationships in a future content patch.

  Yeah... stay tuned.

Seems they are going with the model of: once we approach the time when subs are to be renewed, we shall let them eat cake... until the next time.

[Ingmar]

I'm pretty sure we won't see it until they introduce new characters in some way. Only some of the existing characters could be retrofitted with teh gay, and even for those they'll have to rerecord a bunch of dialogue, etc.

I'm pretty sure Tharan's lines were already re-recorded to let him half romance women :P

[01101010]

If Tharan was a flat out queen, then I would probably be ok with that... but I can't stand him as he is in the game. So many of those lines and voice inflections just screamed over-the-top drag that I had to put him in a med armor skirt. Even then, he still annoyed the shit outta me.

It's just one of those days, feeling like a freight train. Next one to complain, leaves with a bloodstain.

It's cool man.  I'm pretty much in the same place, leading me to look for things to complain about.

Not really, I think there's like two lines tops where he actually makes reference to your being a woman. Doc is the one who would need like 90% of his romance lines re-recorded to get rid of all the belittling generally-used-for-ladies pet names. He gets a gold star, though, once I finally told him to knock that shit off? He actually did. LEARN FROM THAT EXAMPLE, CORSO.

[Ingmar]

I don't think either Doc or Corso would work at all - all their existing content is way too het - those are both situations where they'd be much better off either adding an entirely new companion or maybe where possible, using one of the other companions (Sgt. Rusk? Lord Spoiler?) who doesn't currently have a romance attached.

[Sjofn]

Oh, I don't really think Doc would work as suddenly being bi either, I just wanted to use him as an example of someone who would need a huge amount of re-recording. Corso would be even worse (plus who would really want to fuck Corso?).

The problem with your "attach a romance to an existing companion with no current romance," of course, involves another peeve of mine. Every single fucking female companion is romanceable. It's like that's the only reason they exist. ><


EDIT: Although if that means Jovian can get together with his True Love, Talos Drellik, I say do it, Bioware.

[01101010]

Well that makes giving up sex for lent that much easier.

We had returned to Nar Shaddaa as part of Minvaren's story and talked to the bonus series quest giver standing right there in the spaceport.

Halfway through, a nice-looking Amazonian Sith Pureblood steps out, and of course he can flirt.  She knocks him down a peg, but you just know she'll grow to like the character.  The following dialog line lets me flirt with the officer.  An acne-scarred, ugly looking gent with a mustache alone that'd make me say 'no' and a not very enticing voice.

WTF does Bioware hate female players?

[Paelos]

They still aren't entirely sure you exist. They've heard rumors, even seen pictures, but they are pretty sure it's a shop. You are really a dude and are committed to the lie.

While I am a fan of amazonian sith purebloods (that's what my SW is!) I am pretty sure most dudes aren't really into them. 

Jovian totally banged the shit out of her, though. As he is apt to do.

[Koyasha]

I'm actually at the point where, if I didn't have a couple friends playing characters exclusively together, I'd cancel the game specifically because of the romance nonsense.  No other reason, because I'm enjoying all other parts of the game, but the romance stuff is seeping into other things I've noticed.  Characters I enjoy become less enjoyable after I get to like the romance option that I don't have, because having her around constantly makes me want to see what I'm missing.  And yet most of the male voices just grate on me enough that I can't really play them.  Nothing really wrong with them, I just don't like the voices personally, so the characters get annoying for me.

They really need to clarify just how they're going to resolve this.  If I knew that those characters will never be romanceable, and that same-sex romances will be introduced through new characters, it would...well, it would probably make me angry because I really like some of those characters and want to see the romances, but I might be able to get past it.  I never saw Ashley's romance in Mass Effect, or the ones in ME2, because I couldn't stand playing manshep, but it didn't bug me like this does.

[Sky]

It's cool man. 

Thank Odin's eight-legged steed you didn't get that reference.


Looong day at work makes for silly posts.

[Der Helm]

Not really a little peeve...

I had to cancel my sub because of lack of funds in my bank account. I did so 1 day before the billing. They tried to bill my bank account anyway. It got denied and I am now 5 euros in debt for that.

Awesome.

[Wolf]

you're what's wrong with the EU. It was fine when you were living large on your 5 euros right? Now we all have to pay for them.

[Der Helm]

 

[apocrypha]

I think he was making a joke about peripheral European countries and debt.

Would possibly have worked better if Helm was Greek instead of German. 

[Fraeg]

PVP in this game is a fickle mistress for me.... one day I only log on to do my dailys, open up my bags, no battlemaster tokens... Log.   Other days it is some of the most kick ass pvp I have ever had.

My from the ass number for pvp is 80% suck, and 20% wonderful pvp. If they can get that number to 50:50 for me then I am in for the long run.

Not true, Mako exists only to skill up crafting on my BH. That's totally better than just being some romantic object, probably.

I sort of suspect we'll see same-sex romances introduced in an expansion pack, if ever. It's the next logical place to insert new companions, given how the current ones are introduced through class stories, and there will be enough other content announced for haters to focus on instead. It would be a fairly large addition for a regular patch (likely the most significant part of the patch), and you know all the awesome mature internet chat would be about outrage over 'the gay patch'. I'd love to be proven wrong, but they've hardly said anything about it since the initial announcement which makes me think they've either cooled on the idea (which Lucasarts was probably not fond of to begin with), or they've put it on the back-burner for an expansion feature where it would fit more naturally and provoke less hostility.

In the meantime, my BH can just focus on making credits instead of dating.

[eldaec]

SCORPIO is not romanceable.

And what makes you think Bowdar is a dude?

[Sjofn]

The fact everyone, including Bowdaar, acts as if Bowdaar is a dude. And SCORPIO is a droid.


EDIT: Also, Rokal, just because yooou can't/won't romance Mako doesn't mean she isn't romanceable. :P

God I want a gay patch so poor Captain Kalah can get together with someone who isn't Corso Riggs.

[01101010]

Look at the hands.

[UnSub]

And you'd come to my Slutwalk, right? 

Wherever sluts gather in large numbers, I'll be there.
