...Relationships, that is. After a year or so of release, gamers interested in same-sex relationships for their character won't have to play hand solo for long, if you catch my drift.
Well, that's the plan anyway.
The Escapist
In the meantime, same sex options will be available in the upcoming expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel. In the coming months, the developers intend to extend these options even further. Sadly, there's no word yet on whether or not Wookie romance will be implemented.
Come on, Bioware! What's the point of buddying up with a Wookie if you can't handle his bowcaster?
The Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion will see release in Spring. Considering the game just went F2P in November, it might be the best time to hop aboard the SS TORtanic. Bio-wary or not, it should hopefully be worth taking the plunge.
Say what you will about the game, but I have to appreciate a developer willing to say, "Yes Homo."
Well, that's the plan anyway.
Come this Spring, you will be able to have a romantic encounter with a character of the same sex. Maybe.
Hickman said the programming and design work necessary to implement this change actually took a lot more time than the team had anticipated and he feels bad about that. "I want to apologize that this is taking so long to get in the game," he said. "I realize that we promised [same gender romances] to you guys and that many of you believed that this would be with a companion character.
"Unfortunately, this will take a lot more work than we realized at the time and it (like some other pieces of content we talked about earlier in the year) has been delayed as we focused on the changes required to take the game free-to-play," Hickman continued. "As we have said in the past, allowing same gender romance is something we are very supportive of."
