Maria Caliban Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Gay romances. I thought it was great that they included a gay character like Canderous in the first Knights of the Old Republic but I'm thinking The Sith Lords should include some guy on guy loving. I'm one of three women on this board so I'm confident that about one-third of female gamers would love this. Just make certain the NPC is a long-haired, tortured soul, like Sepheroth.

Maria Caliban Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 ^ See, everyone loves gay romances. Even one-eyed people. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Ivan the Terrible Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 I thought it was great that they included a gay character like Canderous in the first Knights of the Old Republic but I'm thinking The Sith Lords should include some guy on guy loving. Can't say I'm surprised. I can't remember ever seeing a Mandalorian female, and those campaigns against the Republic kept the Mandalorians cramped together in tight quarters, forcing them to shower together, wash each other's backs, give each other massages, etc. Kinda like the Spartans. Get your platoon to become butt-buddies, and they'll fight to the death for each other. INGENIOUS! I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Maria Caliban Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 Isn't that the truth, Ivan? It was so refreshing for them to show not one man but an entire culture of real men who aren't afraid to show their desire for one another. That's why I'm certain they'll take it to the next level in the sequel. And, least anyone think I am sexist, I hope they include another lesbian romance as well. It's nice to know that in the future (past?) mankind will look beyond its petty differences and learn that love cats and humans is equal to non-bestial romance. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Gorth Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Heh, gives new meaning to the relationship between a male Revan and Malak... Master and apprentice... *resist naughty comments*... Actually that would be quite a challenge. Heck, I found it almost impossible to play a female Revan. Seriously, how are you supposed to know how to act as a woman ?!? . When Juhani started hitting on my female Revan, my jaw hit the space bar. I say, bring it on. Could definitely increase the "difficulty" of the game, depending on your sex and sexual orientation “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Topaz Quasar Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Well, when female Revan & dark side Bastila had overthrown Darth Malak.............
nik_bg Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Maria, if you want male/male romance, we, males, would like to see female/female romance The idea is interesting, but I doubt if Obsidian will make such relationships due to "political" reasons.

deadreak Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Well, I remember in Morrowind one of the NPC, from Telvanni I think, was ready to sleep with me, and he was a guy and I was a Dark Elf. It was strange... I was naked...
nik_bg Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Terrible Ivan, what I mean is that this is Star Wars - I don't think Lucas will allow homosexuality in his galaxy. Nik.
prsrulez Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Fallout... good times!!! Anyway Lucasarts won't let it happen... it should... If it were my choice I'd let those former Fallout devs to work the magic... but it's not
Ivan the Terrible Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Terrible Ivan, what I mean is that this is Star Wars - I don't think Lucas will allow homosexuality in his galaxy. Nik. Yeah, you've got a point. I doubt we'll get many chances to work as a fluffer in TSL, either.

Azazis Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Malak didn't lose his jaw for nothing, feisty guy. sorry >.>;
Logain_Ablar Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 you say canderous was gay? what about carth? that guy was flaming, he obviously was hitting on male Revan the entire game, only Revan was too dumb to pick up on it.
Maria Caliban Posted June 5, 2004 Author Posted June 5, 2004 Gorth: " Heck, I found it almost impossible to play a female Revan. Seriously, how are you supposed to know how to act as a woman ?!?" You mean it doesn't just come naturally? Seriously, given that the vast majority of non-RPG games feature male lead characters I've never had a problem in this regard. I think it's because I've stopped conceptualizing the avatar as my psychical form but see it as a handy extension of my will. " When Juhani started hitting on my female Revan, my jaw hit the space bar" Really, why? Nik bg: " if you want male/male romance, we, males, would like to see female/female romance' All is fair in love and war. " I don't think Lucas will allow homosexuality in his galaxy." KotOR had more sexual diversity than any other RPG. Female/female Human/cat-thing Human/tail-head thing Human/android Logian: " "When is this out.

I think it's because I've stopped conceptualizing the avatar as my psychical form but see it as a handy extension of my will. No, it didn't come naturally I like roleplaying games, as in, I try to empathize with my character. Playing male is more familiar to me for some reason. The only other game I played a female lead in was Tombraider I-IV. Since you didn't have any emotional involvement (although some study of her anatomy and inertia was involved) with Ms. Croft, it was just your sexless character jumping, crawling, shooting etc. Your "handy extension of my will" Actually trying to live the part of the opposite sex in a roleplaying sense turned out to be quite a challenge. " When Juhani started hitting on my female Revan, my jaw hit the space bar" Really, why? Honestly ? I was taken by surprise. I hadn't expected LA to greenlight it, as they are normally known as beeing almost Disney like in their so-called "political correctness". Especially since it's a topic for some heated debate in LA's home country. If they had introduced a male Revan/Carth romance... :D My attempts at roleplaying might would have been seriously challenged, but only for a while. The more unusual stuff (compared to "traditional" rpg's) they put in the game, the better. Thats why I said in my post that, I'm all game, even if it's just for the challenge of playing something that is so different from the real me. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 I think its best to keep the romances natural. Natural ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Craftsman Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Well. If you have two planets. One full of homosexuals the other of hetrosexuals and each can strictly relate the their perferred sex who dies out? Thus a male/female relationship is natural whist and same sex realasionship is not.
Enoch Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 I think its best to keep the romances natural. Natural ? Maybe he means that 90% of them should end with bitterness and regret. <_< <_<
Nartwak Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Maybe he means that 90% of them should end with bitterness and regret. Those are my favorites.
Gorth Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 If you want to be all "natural" about it, Jedi knights are not allowed love (implies no sex either ), so they should just remove it completely from all Jedi players and npcs. It's not natural for jedis having any thoughts about the subject altogether. Would make an interesting game, if all you could do was helping non-jedi npc's with their own love life (and disasters) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
