JawaJedi Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Both. And no, no flirting even without the [Flirt] word before it. So I guess that most of the people who say they have tons of flirting options with their female IA are either lying, either thinking that saying "Hello!" instead of "Gimme the information NOW or I kill you!" is some kind of flirt *rolling eyes* Both doesn't really apply to that question....

I'm in the same exact boat. When I found out that I couldn't romance Kira, it was an incredible disappointment. And yet, most of my guildmates have been able to because they rolled male avatars. And we have no date for when they are going to make same gender romance available - like I am going to wait around here until they get their act together otherwise. Like it's okay that we are 'not a priority'. Heterosexism = super lose for me. I expected so much better from Bioware. I'm almost 50, and I'll probably ding 50 and put the entire game down, it makes me that sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this means we won't need to reroll to experience them. (Needing to reroll even a single character for this will probably make me feel like I should cancel my account, but like the desperate depressing addict that I am, I'll probably reroll anyway.) I, too, and quite disappointed that my JK can't romance Kira - or my Trooper, Elara Dorne for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelialSempai Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I also agree on the same sex things, as a BH Mako gives off that vibe, and it seems weird that it doesn't go anywhere. Hmm, As far as actual in game goes, I've had pretty flirty options three times so far as a level 20 Bounty Hunter. One was Nemro, but he shot me down :/ Another was a backstabbing guy I worked for; he grew on me enough from it for me to not kill him. Another guy made him seem stupid to his superiors for it... They were all, I suppose, minor events, but I felt it really added to the general feel of it. Although I did meet a so called "ladies man" with no kinds of options to flirt for info. -shrugs- Haven't had any of the flirtyness actually lead anywhere aside from just a short, funny couple of lines in cutscenes.

Funny, same as you two my disappointment was with my JK and Kira. If the plan is to add new companions instead of fixing the existing ones the last threads of any anticipation for me are gone now.

JawaJedi Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 "Both" is the answer to the "Flirts" or "one-night stands"? question ^^ Except it can't be, unless your saying every flirt option ended in a one night stand. Or if 2 was the flirt number and 3 was the one night stand number (or more oddly, if it was the other way around ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexthree Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Level 30 female inquisitor.. I've had three flirt options. One was my second companion. One was a story-quest guy with creepy red eyes, wasn't remotely interested. The last was an imperial mook for the bonus series on Nar Shoddio. I feel like not only are there too few options, but the options all seem very "ok let's bang" and the non-flirt options for the same characters are pretty flirty. Red-eyed guy offered me wine and next thing I knew we were falling into bed (which I esc'd because I didn't want it.) Personally the issue isn't just quantity, it's quality. None of the three guys I could flirt are particularly attractive (though the companion has a hell of a voice and personality..) and the last guy was just a tool. He was all snively.. nothing sexy about him. Why not have some attractive nice guys? Or maybe add flirt as a 'get some info for less work' option, not necessarily fall into bed. I see a lot of [shock Him] so why not [seduce] ? Anyway...guys def get more options but I think they share the 'ewew i don't want this' feel. The lady Darth on Balmorra? The creepy lady from the bounty hunter class quest? Or your handler for that matter? Yet I can't sleep with the Twi'lek secretary? And the one companion I feel really close to (Khem) can't be romanced. I don't need to see the gory details of the bedroom, that all gets glossed over. IMO every companion should have romantic options for the character(regardless of gender!). And there should be a difference between seduction, flirting, and romancing both among NPC's and companions.

DarthSojourn Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Playing a female Sith Warrior, level 34. I've had two flirts outside my romance interests. One with some ugly dude on Nar Shadda (I passed, ew). And then with Lieutenant Pierce on Taris. Neither interest me. :/ I suppose I'll remain faithful to Quinn, lol. Although I did flirt a tiny bit with Pierce for the sake of it. His response amused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurgrayden Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 My female guildies and I have discovered that playing a female Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, and Trooper toons have basically ZERO flirt options throught the entire game play. That's because females don't flirt, they tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellindell Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I heard Sith do not have this problem. My wife was pretty upset by this as well. She also said when you are courted by your companions its very bland, and they all want to make you a shoeless woman who gets in the kitchen to make their meals, so to speak. It is pretty lame though. We both played through the smuggler story, and my male smuggler can pretty much bone anyone he wants, including a high ranking senator. She gets like one or two options to romance people who arent companions. My female guildies and I have discovered that playing a female Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, and Trooper toons have basically ZERO flirt options throught the entire game play. (The only exception is when we meet our courting companion and we flirt about three times and then it is over for the durration of the game.) Originally we suspected it was simply because of the class we were playing until we learned that our male guildies--who play characters of the same class--have several flirt options all throughout the game. It is not specific to class, it is specific to female characters alone. We feel this is quite sexist and are very dissapointed that the males of the same class toon have more flirt options. We ask that you re-think future writings on how the genders are played, and please do not make the females so entirely boring and frigid. Let us have a little more personality. Thank you.

jayderyu Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It's dissapointing that females don't get much flirt options. It doesn't even need to go anywhere. just something flity and funny... it's a pity. There is plenty of female's on the staff. Personally I think they just didn't do the females justice on the RP elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meira_Arirai Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I figured it had to be class-related to some extent. Other than one low-level political functionary on Coruscant, Doc was the first person to evince any attraction to my fem-sentinel. I was starting to get a bit of a complex about it.

Jswizzle Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My Sage barely got to flirt with any women. The ones I did shot me down. It doesn't seem sexist, but yeah more options would of been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elexier Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just chiming in here Lvl 27 (or 28 i cant remember) Jedi Knight FEMALE sentinel. I have had ONE, two if you count the mission to find out if two padawans are in a relationship and count the "KISS HIM" option. 28 Levels and I get ONE. Now if I was male anyone wanna work out how many i'd have had. Done every quest so far, but went to rescue kira's master first. (still on tant btw) Do ANY of the Bioware team EVER go out clubbing, Round here its common for girls to flirt with each other all the time, mostly to wind up there partners. I want to romance Kira dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meira_Arirai Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 There's one other flirt option for a female Knight: the page/steward for the female senator on Coruscant whom you later find to be in the middle of a corruption scandal. It goes precisely nowhere. On the other hand, my husband's trooper character got to flirt up a storm with said senator and has had many non-companion flirt/fade-to-black options since.

AlyxDinas Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) I may be exaggerating. Two that lead to anything is two more than I got, though. Two male trooper romances including the companion romance to the (I cannot help but notice ignored) female option. The disparity is staggering, you're absolutely right. Keeping in mind that I'm talking about well developed options and not single lines of dialog. Argue for equality all you want but argue it factually please. Otherwise you're taking a somewhat reasonable point and shooting it in the knee. Edited January 18, 2012 by AlyxDinas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
