OK, seriously? Not cool, Bioware.

Yeah, uh... Shit, Bioware. I thought we, as a society, were above this.
...Not to mention there's an openly gay Mandalorian couple, Goran Beviin and Medrit Vasur, in the New Jedi Order continuity.


EDIT: I believe I put this in the wrong section... Oops... Uh.. My bad... [sweat]

    Interesting though, nonetheless. I'm unpleasantly surprised by this. But of course I would lay the smack down on those bitches and remind them that they have depicted heterosexuality in Star Wars before. Therefore they state that the binary gender system is in effect in the Star Wars universe. Therefore homosexuality is a certainty.

    Asscocks.

    EDIT: It seems they've undone their censorship act. The board is back up and words like "lesbian" and "homosexuality" are unfiltered.

    I've always wanted to read the Lilith's Brood series from Octavia Butler. Sci-fi with three sexes instead of two!

    I was going to say to give them the benefit of the doubt. Bioware has a number of games under their belt that contain or allow for homosexuality. Hell, I recall my sorceress character in Neverwinter Nights who had some "quality" time with another woman 7 years ago. But then, maybe that's what's so surprising about this. Why the turnaround?

    Maybe if they just limited people to asexual, genderless drones of humanoids who have completely platonic relationships only. Or the more interesting route of having people be trolls that reproduce by savagely tearing each other limb from limb and having the torn off body parts grow into new little trolls. How's that for a relationship dynamic? Next time you find yourself being torn to pieces by a brutish troll you can know that it is only doing it because it *loves* you. Learn some tolerance, dammit!

    Based on what Bioware has shown in its earlier games, I don't think this was their decision. It must have come from higher up, namely SUPREME OVERLORD GEORGE LUCAS and/or LucasArts. It seemed like Bioware was coerced or forced into it because they were all NO FORGIVENESS AND THAT'S FINAL about it. They might have even been facing punishment.
