Same-sex Romance Heading to SWTOR
SWTOR executive producer Jeff Hickman has revealed his latest State of the Game report that same-gender romance between players and NPCs on Makeb will be added to the MMO with the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion, slated for spring. The expansion also adds several new systems, five new levels, a large new planet, new storylines, new skills and new abilities.
Hickman also noted that the game has seen an increase in player numbers since going free-to-play, and changes to "a special PvP area," are slated for Update 1.7, and more endgame content and the ability to copy characters to the test server are all on the way.
