He should sleep with you before that, when he reminds you that he offered to teach you Mando'a and has been a bit lax

I think the implication in a lot of the "marriage and kids" conversations are that the characters are considering having kids in the future. Or at least that's how I choose to read it, because it's mental to have kids while you're running around the galaxy fighting people left and right. I suppose if you're Sith you could always just dump your kids off on Korriban, but something tells me they wouldn't last too long.

I kinda like the motley look that the BH team has going on. They're not a proper unit so much as a bunch of misfits and (maybe) friends who shoot bad guys together for great glory and credits.

I always figured each planet lasted about a month, give or take. Plenty of time to pick up a lot of Mando'a, if not become fluent in it. Though that depends on your bounty hunter: mine's a bit of a pottymouth so I think she learned a lot more disses than anything else

Yeah, there's usually fanservice for everyone in BioWare games, male and female. Not necessarily the kind that everyone likes (here's looking at you, Jacob Taylor), but hey, you can't please all your customers. In addition, the gender of the writer doesn't necessarily determine the popularity of the romance or the degree of connection among the fanbase. A lot of BioWare's most popular female romances were written by David Gaider; last I checked, he was a dude

Which is why I mostly ignore what might win/lose me affection with companions and do whatever I damn well please I have occasionally dumped companions if I know I'm about to lose a lot of influence for something (for example, the whopping -300 or so hit you can take from Gault on Alderaan). If the system were more like DA2 where the bulk of your companions' opinions came from your actions, I might care more, but as it is, I just buy up everyone's affection to max with gifts anyway. Unless it's Skadge, he's not worth my hard-earned credits.

Here's my two cents:

Oops. Sorry This is what I get for trying to puzzle out Mando'a late at night. As for him teaching you Mando'a, I like to think my BH learned a lot of Mando'a that night, just not anythign she can use in polite company

I ignore companion battle cries for the most part, so I wasn't paying attention to Torian's until well into Quesh. But gosh darn, his battle cries are teh smexy. I think my favorite thing about Torian is a trait he shares with Garrus from Mass Effect; utterly awesome in the face of enemies and yet stumbly and nervous with romance. It's a juxtaposition that I find incredibly endearing in video games.

And this is why we get an in-game choice Sign me up for adoring Torian--and the Mandalorians. He won me over the minute he shot his scumbag dad between the eyes. @Shammuramat: Thanks so much for the translation of Torian's lines to his dad. Since I got Torian's conversation about teaching the BH Mando'a, I've been trying to pick my way through the Mando'a that's in game.

Only a little in his romanced conversations, I think. And you just say "I love you" back to him in Mando'a. The way you say it sounds like you're still working your brain around the language

That was a truly amazing rant. I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing, but I've gotten used to the patchiness of the writing in TOR to the point where I just block out the bits that make no sense. As far as I'm concerned, my Sith Inquisitor did something far more exciting than shoot lightning at a holocron, and that smelly loud thing on my BH's ship is a baby rancor, or a very esoteric paperweight. It makes the shoddier writing sections a lot less annoying, but I don't think the devs meant to induce selective amnesia on us.

Ooh, I like Neo-Crusader. Of course, political correctness knocks that one down, but seriously, if I can execute a guy in front of his kid and hand a lady her husband's head on my starting planet, PC-ness is hardly a concern, right? Signed for "Mandalorian" title.

First of all, I'm by no means a Mandalorian lore junkie, so if anyone wants to correct my rudimentary Mando'a, please feel free Anyway, I got curious about what Torian says in his romance conversations since some bits of them are in Mando'a with no in-game translation. Here's (roughly) what he says in case anyone else was wondering: After he kisses the BH: "I love you." (Or literally, "I hold you in my heart/I know you forever) After he proposes: "We are united/as one together, we are united/as one apart. We share/give all, we raise our children as soldiers." In his romance letter: "cyare" means "beloved, lover" I'm still picking through what he says to Jicoln...that's more complicated
