Guild Wars 2

Are Interracial relationships even the topic of this thread?
It’s about homosexual NPCs not about interracial couples. while of course there are some points of contact in the topic I think you’re stretching it a bit.
can’t you make an own thread for discussing that?

It branched from a reply here. I have a feeling most of us involved have said our piece at this point. What started it was a suggestion it would be impossible for Rytlock to have unrequited feelings for Logan. Note I am not saying he does but arguing it would not be out of place with current lore is what led to that long discussion, so it was tangentially on topic.

Sad and perplexed to see some of the comments I’ve seen these last three pages…

I will say I think Anet has done a good job at representing queer people in the game in a natural and non-gimmicky way. While I’m almost always mad at you guys from a pvp balancing stand point, I’m usually more than satisfied when it comes to your lore and the fantasy world you provide. gg Anet!!

I think it is wonderful how anet is going with inclusion. Would I love to see more of pretty much any type? Of course! I do see the problem of having to cater to everyone though and different cultures .. so that affects things somewhat. Still though, it is not like most other games where everyone is a red-blooded white male heterosexual. You can put a tick in practically every marginalized group, even if not in every intersection of groups.

To be honest, I’d rather have no relations whatsoever be shoved in my face. Very rarely these have a meaningful impact on the story, other than to make a death more emotional.

Having a few meaningful NPC’s have some flirtatious banter with my hero would be more than enough for me.

After the first living stories I really feel that ANet would rather add fan service to the game than add meaningful lore or an enticing story. I’m going to side with you here because I think it’s ridiculous that we have to sit through meaningless dialogue instead of growing out the world and our own character. It definitely has a place outside the main story but for now I’m afraid that their writers can’t implement it well into the story.
