Star Wars: The Old Republic Romances

I had a whole post written about the things I hate and things I love about SW:TOR. And it disappeared into internet ether. I was silly to write it directly in Dreamwidth instead of in Open Office first. But I sent this connected post to my husband, so I'll post it instead, though it was supposed to spin off a point in the other post. Namely: male characters have more romance options than female characters, but I think the male characters get the worst of it. (All romances are heterosexual so far, which was a point in that disappeared post, gah.) SPOILERS AHEAD.

( Spoilers for SW:TOR )

They are both very unpleasant governments

This poem has been going through my head for a very long time: ever since I learned what the Republic really is in SW:TOR. (Hint: it starts with "hugely genocidal" and doesn't get better from there.) For Walrus read: Republic. For Carpenter read: Empire.

( Then the Walrus says there is no death... )
