Because The Old Republic is an MMO, the game will live on through content expansions which allow us to include content and features that could not be included at launch, including the addition of more companion characters who will have additional romance options.īioWare does seem to be revising history slightly, as its past talk of same-sex relationships in The Old Republic made no mention of any plans or desire for them. Same gender romances with companion characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a post-launch feature. The revelation comes from an official statement posted on the game's official forums (via Rock, Paper, Shotgun):ĭue to the design constraints of a fully voiced MMO of this scale and size, many choices had to be made as to the launch and post-launch feature set. Delightfully, it's now changed its mind, announcing that same-sex romance will be added post-launch. Though Star Wars: The Old Republic has wooing, romance, and all that soppy stuff one would expect from a BioWare game, the developer had so far said that the MMORPG would only allow coupling with NPCs of the opposite sex, not same-sex pairings.
