Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malanath" data-source="post: 2875651" data-attributes="member: 25538">Thanks for the responses so far!  Most of them have echoed some of the concerns I have.  Although, I should make it clear I am not interested in making it central to anything in the game world.  I am thinking of things in terms of a general view of a game world society, and not specific relationships that would pop-up throughout the course of the game.  I would play such characters as I would any other character.It's such a touchy issue, and one that I find somewhat interesting.  I feel it might be slightly relevant as there are some all male and all female orders throughout the game world, such as the White Tower in the Wheel of Time.  This is what has brought the issue to the forefront of my mind.  Obviously, either such people are taking vows of chastity or they have some type of intimate relationships with other people.  I'm not interested in bringing sex into the game.  (In fact I probably wouldn't allow it.)  I am thinking in terms of personal relationships.  For example, to step into a possible scenario:  Let's say a player wishes to obtain a secret about a certain NPC.  Now, this player eventually learns of some possibilities.  One of them happens to be the NPC's "pillow friend" (or whatever other term I decide to use), which they would understand would be a same-sex lover of the NPC's. The extent that it would effect the player really wouldn't reach further than the above, unless of course a player decided they wanted to play a gay/bi-sexual character.</blockquote>
