Slicers were nerfed so hard they were comatose for months. Don't hate them now because they finally have viability again.

I'd swap out Quinn for Draahg but there's no way I'd swap out Pierce. Give my girl both Pierce AND Draahg for romance and let my girl just enjoy them both like she deserves.

Both my Synth and Armormech have patterns that are specifically for Republic characters. I'll have to test that out tonight.

You can buy Imperial gear (or Republic gear) off the Nar Shadda GNC. If you were on Corellian Run, I'd make those gear for you (I have a 400 Synth and 400 Armormech) and mail them to my Republic side to give to you.

****! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! You made Pierce's a cadence and it rocks! Thank you!

Lt. Pierce and the female Sith Warrior: They'd have an accidental date. Some scenario where he saves her and they end up on some slow shuttle back to the ship after escaping and a ration kit turns into an impromptu romantic moment. Ah heck, now I have to write that out.

My Female Sith Warrior: Lieutenant Pierce (Yes, I know, what a surprise.) My Female Bounty Hunter: Colonel Yudriss (on Hoth) My Female Sith Inquisitor: General Heskar

Sadly, Pierce is (currently) only a one-off. Which is a complete and utter bs move on Bioware's part when they gave SW MEN the option of two romances.

Seriously? Pierce has the most suggestive lines of all the companions I've seen so far. Not only that, his voice actor must have had a blast reading them because they SOUND suggestive as well. Let's see: 1. I'm steady and sure in all situations, my lord. 2. I'll prove my worth to you, my lord. 3. You won't be disappointed. 4. Just say the word, I'll show you what I can do. 5. Don't worry, I know my limits. My SW would love to respond: 1. Let's put that to the test, shall we. 2. Start now. 3. Let's see that I'm not. 4. Word. Word. The WORD is given, da**it! 5. There's limits? When did that start?

Hehe... brb. Pierce wants to "prove his worth to me". How can I say no?

Now, if they only made Lord Draahg AND FimmRess companions... romance-able, of course. Yeah, my SW wanted to hit both of those until they passed out from exhaustion. (See how I snuck in the companion part to keep on topic? *wicked grin*)

When men start thinking with their "little" brain, their responses don't tend to be overtly genius level. *laugh*

Granted, Pierce talks bluntly but that doesn't mean he's not smart. You don't get to be in an elite commando squadron without having intellect. He's not just some grenade slinging grunt. He knows all the tactical strategy that needs to be accomplished, how to put together the right team, etc. There's nothing stupid about Pierce.

I have one. Sadly, she's only level 13 right now.

That is a great description of Pierce. He is a total beef cake. All you Aric ladies are making me want to play my baby Trooper more!

Admittedly, I let my SW marry him even knowing what he was going to do simply because I thought I could rationalize it enough to be comfortable still having him around but when it came to that scene, my Lightside Sith Warrior took the Darkside option and told him to never come to her chamber again.

Pierce has that whiskey soaked, graveled voice that just curls the toes. Just imagine him whispering naughty things in your ear.

Sexiest in order of preference: 1. Pierce - Built like a brick tank, deep voice, everything he says is innuendo! Seriously, I even got over my dislike of the cornrows for this one. I hate that we can't really romance him. My (LS) SW prefers him 150% over Quinn. The dude fought to the last man to keep the place on Taris clear for me! Come on, you can't say that isn't sexy. He's the kind of guy that would be hot in bed and fight by your side without hesitation but throw himself on you at the last minute to sacrifice himself to save you. 2. Torian - Mandalorian. Need I say more? The first time he spoke Mandalore to my girl, I knew she was hooked. Again, a fight-by-your-side guy but save-you-over-himself, too. I got over my hatred of his Beiber look after spending credits on the only other customization kit I could tolerate (black hair, scar on face) because I realized I liked his normal facial features more - just like Pierce. 3. Khem (sort of) - I have to quantify this. Love his deep voice. Even love his "little Sith". He starts out saying it in a very condescending way but as you grow his affection, it does become something else in the storyline dialogue so I can see him starting out condescending and then growing to respect you as you progress. I can't see kissing him but my SI (DS) prefers listening to him over Andronikus (and I'm a huge fan of his voice) so I could see her having rough, hot quickies with Khem much later in her storyline (after Act 3). Yes, I like men to be big and strong. *shrug* Hubby is. *wicked grin*

Personally, I love Pierce and have since my SW girl got him. He's not a tiny, emo guy like *all* the other male romance companions. I like men who are muscular and can take care of themselves (and me) in RL - why would I like some cry-baby, bootlicking wanna-be accountant ingame? Pierce is not shallow. He cares about doing the job and loves working for my girl. He doesn't tolerate failure any more than my girl does and he doesn't get all prissy when I call Imperials on the carpet for failure.

My first character was a Sith Inquisitor and I was a little 'meh' when Andronikus showed up as the love interest but I let it go on and I understood what he was saying to my girl, what he meant by it and I think I appreciated his very up-front honesty with the whole "not sure to be around" thing. His lines weren't cheesy and it was interesting to see his story line progress to the point where he felt he was ready to make a commitment. His story wasn't just "hey we had sex so that means we have to get married and have brats". My second character was a Bounty Hunter and, right from the first meeting, I knew my girl would fall for Torian Cadera. All that Mandalorian talk that others seem to hate? Curled my toes. I loved that he fell back on his native tongue to be the most romantic and honest with my girl because it was natural, because he could express himself better that way. Later on, after they married and she had to rescue him, he said "that's my girl" and I knew right then that no other romance could possibly be better. My third character is a Sith Warrior and I chose to spoil myself on Youtube to see the Quinn story. At first, I thought that it wouldn't matter, I dug his hesitant, military bearing jive and I could understand *why* he was going to do what he does in the future but as my girl progressed in her story and his affection rose, when he started saying romantic things to her, I felt "off" letting her flirt back with him. I started playing with Pierce, letting his affection raise and seeing his storyline and I just loved everything he said to my girl. It was SO her. Every comment of his except one is so provocative and insinuating. I loved the exchange between them that led to the one-off and I was seriously disappointed that it couldn't progress further. Out of sheer boredom I let my girl marry Quinn but I can't play with him anymore unless I absolutely need him to heal my girl. So, favorite romance? Torian > Pierce > Andronikus

Coopers are like TARDIS. Hubby is a soldier and no one was more shocked than he was at the space inside my Mini. If you want to see him doing the clown car routine, I'll dig up the pics of the time he had a Smart Car rental - he had to keep the sunroof open on it to fit.

There's Big Bavarian ponies under the bonnet. As far as passenger room... my hubby is 6'6" and he has an inch or two to spare in headroom and legroom. The back is reserved for the dog - I'm not a driving a taxi.

You know, now that you mention it, they do sound similar but not exactly the same. My Main is a Sith Sorceror and I have Xalex out all the time so I hear him constantly. Now I'm going to have to take a trip to Hoth just to "check". Yeah, that's it. Empirical research.

Hehe, that would be very hard to do. FYI, I don't think the OP meant any harm. Perhaps she just had a bad day or bad week and felt frustrated, leading to a mini-soap box post. We all get treated badly in our lives. We all have the choice to realize that or stumble over our own butthurt. How we react is just as important as how something is presented to us. It only takes a second to make the conscious choice to clamp our lips together (or lift our fingers from the keyboard). I hope the OP and every other angry poster in this thread gets the pat on the back or hug that they need. There's too many real serious issues in life to stress out about the occasional butthurt and certainly not over a game.

1. Never liked chocolate. 2. Never put rum in my coffee. 3. Don't think tiny birds, lizards or frogs are 'cute'. I also don't wear makeup, never wanted children and will happily frag anyone that moves in an FPS. My prized possessions are my Mini Cooper, my German Shepherd and my 10mm Glock.
