Eshvara Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Because there is no Arcann in real life. SWTOR will have to do. Obviously I'd want a RL Arcann without the in game crimes, G'darnit people. Edited August 31, 2017 by Eshvara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vercundus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Because people like to complain. If it's not this, then it's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 For the fun of it? Why do I read books? Why do I watch movies? Why do I go to plays? Because it's entertaining. Only reason to, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xordevoreaux Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 With all this threads and forum post about it, it makes me wonder if yall ever get any ? So my question is, why are romance-able characters such a big deal to you? You should not question this any more than you would question why people are obsessed with PVP, roleplay, PVE, ERP, decorating their strongholds, running operations, flashpoints, heroics, etc... it's an element of the game and who are we to question what parts of the game people become attached to?

DieAlteHexe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 A jealous, stupid, murdering, tyrant? You sure about that? Bad boy, bad boys, what you gonna do? There's the whole aspect of "redemption" which appeals to some. Also salvation. It's not for everyone, for sure but it's there for those who enjoy it. No harm, no foul.

Estelindis Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Well, if our characters have strong romantic bonds with some companions, that's a big deal to them. And a lot of us care about our characters' stories. I mean, Bioware has always been known first and foremost for its stories and characters - it's hardly surprising that this would be the main feature for a lot of players.

Tsillah Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) If you think too much with the wrong head, you may never realise that the brain is the largest, most important sex organ in the human body.

Asileth Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 With all this threads and forum post about it, it makes me wonder if yall ever get any ? So my question is, why are romance-able characters such a big deal to you? Firstly, everyone has different goals and enjoyment they derive from the game. Personally, I believe it's their game, their playtime, period. Secondly, I don't think it's about what they get or don't get in real life but if it is. *shrug* From my perspective, I do find when one of my characters plays through a romance, it adds an element to that character's depth. But then I enjoy the immersion the stories add to what is often a lot of grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my question is, why are romance-able characters such a big deal to you? I'm 49, been married to the same person for 27 years...was with him 3 years before that, for a grand total of 30 years lol and I have a 21 year old son. I'm grateful for them but I don't live a thrilling life, ok? Gotta get my fun somewhere, so I'm looking at the game. Pixel love is fun and innocent.

QueenVictoriaII Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 because it adds something to the story. most books, tv shows, and movies have romance sideplots in them - so it makes sense to add that to a story driven mmo like swtor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshvara Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't understand people who play Bioware games, and then find the romance aspect weird. This is what they are known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadtechSavant Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 No more odd than threads like this one. You don't get it and never will no matter what anyone says. In truth neither do I. Still have no issue with others romancing there companions. The same can really be said about anything, why do some vote for that political party, why do some like fiction and not factual programs. why do some love heavy rock while other love classical and so on. Answer is we are all different. Sometimes as long as its not hurting anyone else just except it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
