A heterosexual couple

[Linken.6345]

So since we have a lesbian couple in the Dragon's Watch can we get a heterosexual one aswell?If your going for a gay couple, I would point you to canach he could use a harded wooded male in his life maybe.

Im making this thread since Stephane Lo Presti.7258 said -We want all players to know that they can talk freely about the content of the game, even when the topic is difficult, such as gender identities and sexual orientation.

Rox and Braham

Why is this even important at all to people.

How about we get proper interact-able npcs instead of debating about their bedroom lives? I'd like to hear more stories.

Honestly, Kass and Jori are the only couple I would want in my guild. I don't need more couples following me into the gates of hell, camping on our travels, and helping citizens. Having multiple romances going on in your circle would just complicate things and make it awkward and then it becomes competition of who gets more screen time. One couple is more than enough for the commander to deal with.

Unless of course your intention with this post is to bait from the other thread and cause more chaos. If so, let's not start all of that again.

An inerracial couple... Logan and Rytlock <3

[videoboy.4162]

I really wanted them to do something with Jennah and Logan. Well, something other than randomly ending things. LOL

Im more wondering, why is 1 couple ok and not 2 or 3?We should strive for equality right?

Seeing how Rox aint in our guild anymore we might need a new female.

Could you imagine how painful it would be running around with two or three couples while you are single? The constant flirting back and forth or kisses or relationship talk coming from multiple couples while you are on a mission to save the world? It would be madness!

oh man, running around with only couples to kill dragons, talk about being a 3rd wheel! (or 5th, or 7th etc XD)

Well considering we got what 1 kiss on the cheek in 4 years from our couple now I dont see any problem of constant flirting back and forth or kisses and relationship talk really.So a minimum times 3 is still very little tbh, imo it would make conversations funnier tho.

One relationship is too many within an elite military unit. What happens when Kasmeer or Marjory is forced to make the difficult choice between the mission and their partner? We saw what happened when Logan was faced with that choice.

I think that's going to happen with the "Destiny's Pledge" thing in that magazine. Question is would that fall under Beastiality?

[Elric.4713]

This game is too progressive for outdated constructs such as heterosexuality.

[Randulf.7614]

Any kind of romantic relationship would add precisely nothing to the GW2 story. Narrative plotting needs to kept on a tight reign, this would be a distraction for the sake of a distraction

So by that logic Kasmeer and Marjory should break up since they are only a distraction?Well if 1 have to go I say we keep Majory atleast she is the detective.

[Syronus.7605]

Jhavi and Braham. Perfect match I'd say.

Whilst i would not want a break up to be added to the story either, whether those two have been in a relationship or not has had no bearing on anything. Both Kasmeer and Marjory have proved more interesting and had greater character development when they are separate. Marjory was excellent in the detective sequence in LS1 and Kasmeer's beliefs played well into the PoF storyline. When they get together we get silly bits of dialogue like we did during the setting up of mirrors in LS3Ep5 where they were squabbling about not talking to each other.

That isn't to say characters should be separated or not be friends because as we have seen with Rox and Braham, that is a dynamic that works and plays into how GW2's central story is set up. Map based stories also function just fine with romantic stories attached since that is world building and reminds us what we are fighting for as characters. But, romance within the main story and its characters? I'm not seeing what it adds, especially given how extremely hard to keep focused the writing team have had it over the years.

The game needs to be careful not to promote certain sensitive matter as it can mean losing or gaining players. Altho story wise it might be debateable but i think the focus should be on the fight.

[Flying.6509]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really think that sexual preferences or romantic relationships are important at all. Who cares. Give me some good solid story.

[kharmin.7683]

When a fantasy world starts to mirror reality, the line quickly becomes blurred. For myself, I find games that do not make these parallels to be more entertaining. I have enough real world stuff in my real world. I prefer my fantasy world to be quite different.

[Elothar.4382]

I didn't care when Kass and Jory became a thing. I don't care now. I don't play this game for a window on romance.

[Zeefa.3915]

Don't put Canach in an npc relationship! He is mine!

[coso.9173]

Blows my mind the amount of people who think relationships add nothing to a story, I strongly disagree. The best stories all have personal relationships at its core.

[Hashberry.4510]

This game does not present story well, so something like a relationship just turns in to a groaner.
