Wait, so it's okay that you can play as a Sith, oppressing the people and going on murderous rampages, slaughtering innocents, burning houses and villages, eating dead, burnt bodies, but if the game implies you might be sticking your Ewok in the wrong side of a Wookie, it must be OF THE DEBBIL!!!
Jesus Christ, people, is this really what the Jeebus would have said about this game? It's all right to pretend to be an evil, homicidal maniac, but you're going to hell if you pretend to be an otherwise good person who happens to be gay?

Actually, someone from...some gaming magazine condemned TOR because you could torture Vette, and how it was a sexist thing and all that stuff.
Nevermind, of course, the huge number of people you murdered, enslaved, tortured, etc etc.

Playing Star Wars TOR will lead to players getting involved in interspecies relationships, possibly sexxing up droids, and that ain't natural. It is a hive of scum and villainy and must be put down, for the good of the nation, and all those good people's souls...

In a statement on their website, Bioware explained that same sex relationships were not yet possible in the game.
So, he's whining about something that ISN'T EVEN OUT YET?

I've also set up my own religious cult, dabbled in necromancy, corrupted a jedi padawan into my service (after killing her teachers), lied, cheated, murdered my teacher (that was was self defense tho) and enslaved a giant walking lizard like monster to be my bodyguard. the sith inquisitor class quest chain is....not kind. you do horrible things to everyone around you. the ONE romance option i've found had to do with me finding a street urchin, raising her to be my cult leader, sleeping with her...then walking away laughing after seducing her.
And this guy is worried about gay marriage!? dear f*cking christ....he'd flip if he tried any of the sith story lines!

Not playing the game (I don't need another addiction), but do they do something 'special' for relationships? In most past MMOs I have seen, it was always done with changing names or just putting something your character's bio.
Is there some type of in game benefit or recognition that makes it stand out?

No, it's there. It's the Sith Empire, not the Imperial Reminants of the Old Republic you see in the EU and Movie Canon.
Basically, it's a continuation of the prequel canon established by KOTOR.

I wonder what has gone wrong in your life story to make your mission, goal, and focus in your life to go around hating and trying to prevent people from being able to love each other and form families.
the big manipulators are not in business to make the masses happy. this is the jorb of Mattel & milton Bradley. the fun people.
but it is odd that a group of people with wild imaginations should pick on someone else for much the same thing.

THIS. So much THIS! Although, you can romance Ashara, but if you've already gotten to Dark IV like I did before I acquired her, it is soooo much harder. Expect a few light side choices to be made.

Eh. There's no factional good guy or bad guy. It's more of a Grey and Grey Morality in the game. The Republic and the Empire both do some pretty dickish things along the course of the storyline, and depending on the choices of the player in quests, the Empire is just as heroic, although xenophobic, as the Republic is.
