ShiningKnights Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't get it; I married most of my companions (Trooper, Jedi Knight, and Scoundrel).Then in this new Xpac, I flirt and eventually kiss Theron. Why does my companion's affection not go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPsus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Was your companion with you? if not then thats why, if they were, then obviously they want to have an open relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrutchCricket Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Another disgraceful slap to the face of all roleplayers everywhere. Uhm... wouldn't roleplayers not take the flirt options because that'd be cheating on wife/husband with them in the room? Alternately, if you can think up a maze to justify why they would do that then you can also think up a maze to justify why the companions are cool with it.

Why does my companion's affection not go down? Same happened on Makeb. I do agree it makes little sense. I haven't seen any companion affection change in 3.0, up or down. That's because there aren't any. Affection points are obviously hard to program, dawg. Edited December 12, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudenfusz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Another disgraceful slap to the face of all roleplayers everywhere. Adultery is part of real life and part of the game, so when somebody wants to play the character that way ten it is basically also just RP. Funny, that for someone who claims to be the master of everything RP related you fail to crasp that. Anyway, there is even a story in the game where one can seduce a married man, like one can do as female smuggler on Voss (I was kinda surprised that he would actually join, especially since he seems to be fully aware that this is not how one should behave)... or the story every early on on imperial Balmorra with the woman how cheated on her husband and he wants the lover and his wife dead.

dcaleb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I don't think I have seen a single influence change from my companion for any decision I have made in SoR. Which just seems exceptionally lazy, IMO. Not giving them lines is one thing, I understand voice acting can cost a pretty penny. But not having the choices change affection? How intensive could it have been to write some code for those decisions that changes influence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How intensive could it have been to write some code for those decisions that changes influence? Judging from this, you shouldn't however. Some journalists and fans attributed much of the upfront cost of TOR to its scripting and voice acting. Ohlen explained that this belief is erroneous: "[Voice acting] was a known entity, and cost was quite low in comparison to the cost of the rest of the project." Game generates 100$ million plus on a yearly basis. However, it would seem that only a tiny fraction is being reinvested into the game. Up to the point where VA, from a "known entity", became "overly expensive." End-result? Paring down VA to a ridiculous level, up to the point where non-Basic speaking companions say nothing. AT ALL.

htoncic Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Perhaps you're just letting your cultural bias get the better of you. After all, 'cheating' may not even be a thing with your companions. Monogamy is not a universal reality on our planet, it's just something that you learn.

Curiously enough, the three classes that have more than option to romance, all of them will give you an ultimatum to break it off with the other "option". None of them are ultimately cool with polygamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savej Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Affection is yet another half-buttocked, dead-end system that the current devs don't know what to do with (like legacy levels, ls/ds, social points, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
