The Often Delayed Same Gender Romances Still Coming to The Old Republic

[Shawn Zipay]

BioWare, in their latest State of the Game for Star Wars: The Old Republic hits upon a number of hot button issues. Among those things discussed is the issue of same sex romance options that were supposed to be included in the game ages ago. So, where are they?

First of all, I want to apologize that this is taking so long to get in the game. I realize that we promised SGR 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. As we have said in the past, allowing same gender romance is something we are very supportive of.

Secondly, I want to reveal today that we are adding SGR with some NPCs on Makeb and do intend on pursuing more SGR options in the future. More details to come!

Other topics include what the team is working on for end-game content, what they're doing with world PvP, and why it's also taking forever for copying characters to the public test server (PTS).
