[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

You never took the Lana flirt in the intro to the Copero flashpoint? The one where she answers, "You can thank me properly later." (In my experience, if your lover says that, it's a suggestion that the said thanking should be by the means of ... um ... carnal congress, as they say.)

 

Nor the letter after Digging Deeper, where she opens it with, "I have a favor to ask of you, my darling."?

 

No, she's not a cold fish, that one. She just hides it better than most. Kinda like Elara.

 

I don't remember any conversation with her during or before Copero, I just had the Male guy from the Ascendancy talking my ear off, hmm hope I didn't ignore it or respond with something the equiv of "whut?"

 

Interesting, I've done "digging deeper" already and been sucked into all the Manaan quests, and haven't gotten anything from her since. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.

The last mail I got from Lana was about all the budget going over I am doing whenever I lead a mission, apparently I am expensive with ship repairs and replacements.

[Companion Romance Questions]

There are some cases, notably:

 

A bounty hunter who resumes her relationship with Torian will get some special interactions during later parts of the story, starting in KotET Chapter I on Voss.

 

But basically any companion who returns in an alert rather than in main story will be uncommunicative. It's a long-standing complaint that goes back to the 2.X days where companions went essentially silent after you started Rise of the Hutt Cartel (Makeb story).

 

well that's unfortunate, because as far as I know, the alerts are the only way to get some of them back? I've not had any of them come back through story, I've had a bunch of new ones join my alliance through story that I had on other characters, but as far as my own SW original companions, They've only popped back up in alerts. And since then they may as well be a blank npc. Almost makes me feel like I should have gone off and looked for another npc to flirt with just so I had some chance of discussion with them still.

 

You've been incredibly helpful in both of my 2 forum threads so far everyone, Thanks for being superstars!

[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

I never take the first opportunity to flirt with a character because i would look like an unprofessional pig.

I've had no problem getting the romance going with elara after that though and at the same time went out with jaxo.

As for lana as far as i'm concerned it's not really a romance as the devs seem to have made her such a cold fish that they just let the romance dribble off to nothing.

 

Makes me wonder if something got glitchy or whatever on my side, cause I didn't flirt with her the first 2 options I got. And then she has a scene where she mentions a bottle of wine for a celebration and let her know if you want to share it some day. But there was no option for dialogue or a flirt.

And since then nothing, even when I found her again later down the road, no flirt options, she was basically just like.. "Hey, what's up"

[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

Anytime before Fallen Empire it won't matter. In Class story if you get to flirt with more than one Companion eventually you have to choose, but you can also flirt with NPCs without issue. You get to marry the Companion you want if you want. Starting from Fallen Empire Chapter IX it makes a difference if you choose Theron/Lana/Koth as a romance. When your Companion returns in later chapters you must choose, your Companion or your new love. By taking the flirt option you will be asked to commit or forget about it to keep your new love. Which ever one you choose, your other romance will end, permanently. No going back even if your Companion becomes one with the Force. If you choose your new love, depending on the Companion it will be a mutual friendly break-up or the Companion hates on you for the scene but sticks around for the rest of the story and never mentions your romance again. If you go back to your Companion, your new love will give you a heart-breaking scene wishing you happiness and making you regret your choice in your own guilt of emotion level you will always hate yourself for doing it you'll only do it that once and never again, or maybe that's just me but you do get a break-up scene wishing you happiness.

 

 

Ouch, noted. Those "THE FEELS" moments really hit me sometimes, I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you.

[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

I don't know if your character is male or female but Elara is Straight.

I know I tried with a couple of female toons with no luck, but once I tried a male Elara was almost insatiable.

 

Sorry, It's a Male character. Totally spaced that.

[Companion Romance Questions]

So I'm not sure if this varies by companion, Or alignment (Republic/Imperial/LS/DS) or anything but I was wondering something about companions. Still relatively new to game and still figuring this stuff out along the way.

 

On my sith warrior PRE- KOTFE, my companion would occasionally send emails, they'd start off with "Husband" and I always appreciated that, since I had finished all my conversations with them it was the only way to feel like I had a relationship with them beyond just "Hey, generic npc help me kill stuff".

 

But now, AFTER KOTFE and beyond,

I still don't have any conversations with them, and no longer seem to get any more mail from them. Now they're just the generic npc who could literally be anybody and you wouldn't know the difference. I did their alert and got reintroduced to them, I did the flirts and had it ask me if I was sure I wanted to resume my romance etc, all of which I said yes to. We got a kiss scene and a couple happy smiles but that was it. Nothing since then.

 

Is that how it works with all companions? you get (I assume resume your marriage in this case) and then you're done and they ignore you after that? Or do certain things happen and trigger additional scenes down the road?

 

I am Sith Warrior, Dark aligned, and it's my companion Dark Side Jaessa, and I am moderately through Legacy of the Sith now, and am noticing the difference Pre and Post KOTFE-KoTET. So was curious.

 

 

Thanks anyone who can help answer this!

[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

Okay thank you, I know there's a point where usually around ossus or something I see that companions come back and you can either resume or start a romance. So I was thinking that may be an option, but I wasn't sure. Instantly throwing myself at someone as soon as I meet them makes me feel like I need a shower or to be sprayed with a garden hose. I didn't realize if you didn't jump on that right away it can ruin things.

 

I also thought that since I was flirting with Jaxo at the time it would cause problems. So ultimately because I was trying to have my character be with only one person at a time, and not want elara to feel like I should be on an offenders list somewhere I may have cut off my later options it seemed like. Ah well. I'll keep an eye out for future opportunities.

 

I guess if nothing else theres always Lana, everyone gets a chance with that one

 

Thank you again though!

[Elara Dorne Romance Question]

Hey there, relatively new player here. (about a month in) and I had a question about Elara Dorne for the trooper.

 

When I first got her on the ship, and had the initial 2 conversations there was a flirt option. I didn't take them because I was involved with Jaxo at the time. But.. anyone that did the A44 knows how that ends up.

Anyway, I've never had another option to flirt with elara again since then. Is it perma broke if you don't flirt with her the very first chance you get?

 

I ask because in every conversation choice, I've always had the one that said "Elara dorne approves/greatly approves". I've never had one that said she disproved of anything (thank you esc key!) but it's just never been an option since then.

Finished all the way through chapter 3 as well now and still nothing. Her affection level with me is 23 or 24, so she's pretty fond of me comparatively and still nothing.

 

She's only pulled me aside for the one side mission that involved her brother where I offered to go and she refused because it would be easier if she went alone. And I've stuck up for her any time her old probation officer spazzed out.

So I don't know what I am doing wrong, or need to do to trigger the options to flirt with her again.

 

Anyone know? or does something pop up when I go to Ilum next or whatever? She's the only companion I'm interested in as far as my male trooper, so it's kind of a drag that because I didn't throw myself at her the minute she was on my ship like I was animal from the muppets or quagmire from family guy, she's had no options ever since then.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Jaxo and Objective: A-77 *spoiler*]

Personally I really disagreed with how this played out, because:

 

 

To be fair, saving both her and the other people should absolutely have been an option. Because while you were in contact with her during your boarding, she told you she was with the prisoners. So.. wherever they are she is. And if she was stuck in service level with a bunch of pissed off droids then the prisoners should have been as well. And choosing to vent the shaft should have wiped everyone. Leaving you totally empty handed.

 

So saving them should have meant saving her. There should never have been a choice between the two.

Either her holo conversation with you was correct and they were all together and what ended up happening ultimately contradicted everything, OR her holo conversation with you was actually wrong. She didn't know where she was or where the prisoners actually were, and then you had to make that choice. Which would them make the conclusion understandable.

 

The whole thing just contradicted itself though and forced you to make a bad choice without any reason for it with the narrative you got. And then you have to sit there and wish you could go back and replay that chapter to choose the other option. And that they didn't write anyone out of the story after that leaving you with nothing but guilt for the rest of the game.

 

 

Also, it felt a little odd that in your codex under persons of note, she didn't even get an entry. A77 was a pretty tough choice for a lot of people. The lease they could have done was give Jaxo an entry to remember.
