Arcann romance appreciation thread! Haters keep out please!❤

Just did the conversation and it was nice but I wish they had a non-romance one as well. I thought he was too flirty for my male SI who is romancing Lana even though I picked responses he would say - basically choice #3. However, my Sith Warrior went for it ;):D

Glad you liked it! Overall reviews seem pretty positive. :) While I of course:rak_03: wouldn't have any desire for a friendship route, the idea seems sound!

Major romance next step? ...twin babies.

 

But realistically, I was hoping they considered using different characters in one specific role (like Virmire Survivor or Senior Warden and all class being Outlander) for NPCs. They did it for Senya/Arcann = Theron/Lana for chapter 8 and 9. I hope this continues to include more variants since people felt their class-specific waifu/husbands doesn't get more screentime and I do think it adds to replayability.

 

And back to topic, glad that people are more open to Arcann as a romance choice. Hopefully, the devs consider this reception to add more loving content for all and not at the expense of other pairings.

Also the "hate" comment, I personally see DS Arcann as the antithesis of the person he once was. I see him as someone who is filled with self-hatred more than he hate others. Hating people because they didn't see him hurting, is basic psych. He is always physically strong and powerful with the Force but his inability to control his emotions is essentially his weakness; he's really not like Vaylin and even my Wrath initially noted that he never properly channel his own anger and Valkorion always manipulate that aspect of him. He can't stop wanting love from his father who seemed hellbent on wanting him to be someone he is not and I could imagine seeing the person that his father gleefully 'owned' and 'endorsed' made him even more furious. I choose to interpret that Arcann always have a strong complicated muddle of emotions that confused him. Also I don't kneel to Valkorion, he saved my life even before he knew who I am to him and I don't let him stab me.. so I don't really view him that negatively for starters.

 

But he did say after he was cleansed of his darkness, when he sees you again, he felt something he never would have thought possible. He finally can be himself again and he can decide what he want to do with that knowledge. In fact, throughout KOTET, Arcann no longer think of you as someone who was completely bonded to his father unlike Vaylin who still continuously refer you as her father's meatbag.

 

I don't think he suddenly have deep feelings simply because he's grateful and turned LS but if people want to view that as right, so, let them.

Guy-Consular - Lana (my only male toon)

Warrior - Theron

Inquisitor - Andronikos

Trooper - Koth

Agent - Arcann

Bounty Hunter - Torian

Smuggler - noone / everyone she can get her needy hands on

I do believe Arcann hated the Outlander, for being his father's favourite and the person his father offered to share power with (however much a lie). Then after that, for being his father's host, he hates his father more so the Outlander becomes collateral damage because he thinks that his father is pulling all the strings. He doesn't beat around the bush ever with that.

I definitely think that even as Dark-Arcann the only thing he regretted was killing his brother, he constantly avoids saying he did it, it hurt too much.

As healing-Arcann (he's not light, he's just trying not to fall to the consuming hatred again in my opinion), he admits and regrets all the terrible acts and vows to spend the rest of his life trying to atone for them. Here hatred for Outlander changes to admiration, which may very well be a brand new feeling for him, even when Outander is still host to Valkorion, he can see past that more and see the real person they are.

Such a great character development, over time.

Okay, forgive me if someone has already asked this and been answered. (I've worked a very long week), how does one trigger the Arcann romance scene? since there is no mention of Doc returning in the foreseeable future I've decided that my knight is going to give Arcann a chance.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.

I admit I was a bit taken aback by the "hate" line at first. I always interpret that his hate for the outlander was mostly due to Valk being there inside their head. Maybe the fact that he "favor" you too like many have said but I usually don't choose to kneel. So this aspect doesn't feel as strong in this case. And of course the outlander escaping and then threatening his reign sure didn't help. But if not healed Arcann always saw the outlander as the puppet of his father not an individual. He even said that "It's father who kills us, not the outlander" in chapter 9 DS version. I think that he started to see you differently if you let him and senya go at the end of kotfe.

Yep, it sounded much more personal then I thougth. Why hate the puppet more then puppeteer?

 

Maybe refusing to kneel was even a bigger blow? Not only Outlander gets an offer Arcann did kill his brother for (among other things), they toss it aside like an advertising proclamation for the "Snuggie Wearable Blanket"! Ouch. And Arcann seem like someone who can hold a grudge for a very looooong time.

 

In case anyone will wounder that "Snuggie Wearable Blanket" is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huo7h53G0IM.

 

P.S. LamiaKan? Thank you!

Yep, self-control is (was?) not his strong side. *Watches as Arcann walks into his own Force Storm and stuns himself.

I guess that the galaxy should be scared of what might happen if the Outlander dies or, even worse, dumps Arcann (not happening on my side, no no no). :p Will he handle it by destroying everything at hand and go back to the dark side? I too think that he is not light, simply cleansed. Which means, he could potentially go back to the dark side again and needs to work on himself to find another path (which would not be necessarily light as they are basically two ways inbetween if I remember well, one being the Je'daii way).

Did he really hate the Outlander? Good question. I wonder if, beyond the moment of the death of his brother, he had not "decided" (consciously or not) that the only feeling he could accept to feel would be hate. Perhaps even sometimes confusing other kinds of feelings with hate, or deciding that hate is the only answer to any kind of situation not going his way.

The Outlander hosts his father, threatens his throne, and simply stands against him. A little boy would hate that, and I really see DS Arcann as very immature deep inside (same for Vaylin, she's even worse), which is not a surprise when you have been deprived from a normal emotional education. Give a two years old the power Valky's kids have and your head would be blown to pieces in a second. :p

The new Arcann is by the way still immature on the socialisation and feelings side, but he knows it and works on it.

That's a good point there.

And you're welcome!

Where do you people want the romance to go next, if it has a next! Anyone has some kind of an idea of what you want to happen?

Dunno... But I hate the idea of babies, personally. :p

I'd like... Theron to come back with some of his new friends and intending to kill the Commander, but Arcann interposes.(I'd love to see an irritated Theron call Arcann "the Commander's new pet" and Arcann react :D)

I'd like a little chat between Arcann and his mother, where he confess his love for the Commander (already wrote this one myself in fact :rolleyes:)

I'd like a little chat after that between Senya and the Commander (might write that one too :cool:)

Some interesting things here! +1 Not sure about the Theron stuff but eh, I guess it's all in good fun? :p

And yes, no babies please. Not that this game would have it anyway. I wouldn't mind if he bought me a Nexu kitten or something! :D Or that nice flower in the commanders room that isn't a decoration yet.:rak_03:

Hint hint Keith!!

Well, I had some fun imagining a jealous Theron suddenly understanding that he has totally been replaced with someone he obviously couldn't match. and IF he is really serious about this "you and the Alliance must be stopped" stuff, Theron would be quite pissed that the Commander now knocks about with Arcann above everyone else. :D

He would probably not be sure who is manipulating who, but could probably not consider true love being an option.

Calling Arcann a pet would definitely be dangerous stuff, though.

Oh right, I guess I haven't! Pardon my rather rude behaviour:d_cool:!!

 

18+ Hardcore nsfw below.

 

 

Hmmm, I'm not sure really! i'm still hoping for some more in depth conversations about "our history" And past family struggles. But also his struggles he's been dealing with since he joined and I want my character to be supportive of him! I'd also like to know about his opinion how us being together. :)
