Warforged to not have programming.  They are not robots.  They are golems.  They are free-willed.

Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

And the clone troopers were living beings.  They're still programmed, in the sense that they come off the creche with all the knowledge they need to function already in place.  "Programming" does not automatically entail "robot."

Golems in myth and folklore are frequently programmed and the traditional Hebrew golem was controlled through writing placed inside the golem's mouth.

And it is possible to have both programming and free will. Anyone who doubts this just needs to have their mother call and nag them for a half hour about something.

It's also possible (and I'm going out on a limb here) for a DM and a player to decide together that the warforged has some kind of internal programming.
