Jade Empire love sub-plots?

So if you wanted, KOTOR had a love interest for either gender you choose at the beginning. KOTOR 2 had a couple fawning fans for each gender. I know Obsidian isn't BioWare, but they built the game off the same mechanics. So I'm wondering if the tradition is kept up in Jade Empire. Now I just bought the game, haven't even watched the intro or anything. I got the limited edition one and watched the making of- but that said nothing about what I'm curious about. So no spoilers. I just wanna know. 'Cause in games like this I always pick a girl, 'cause I like looking at a girl the whole time I'm playing. But in KOTOR 1 that kinda screwed the love aspect. Not that I don't like the dude, just woulda been more "real" if I had played as a guy. So in KOTOR 2 I picked a guy, and totally amped up the experience. So anyone played the game and in the know?
