Arcann romance appreciation thread! Haters keep out please!❤

I wonder if there are many who would leave Theron for Arcann. I don't think so as his fanbase is quite large.:p

 

What I'm worried about is that they're offering the Arcann relationship as a consolation prize/replacement for losing Theron's romance. That he's not going to be the double agent people are theorizing, he's really going to be a traitor and get himself killed (possibly because EA doesn't want to pay Troy Baker what he's worth anymore). I don't want that to happen. I'd like for both Theron AND Arcann to be romanceable, and neither of them to be Put On A Bus to make room for the other.

 

Also, while I have no issue with the idea of an Arcann romance (not my bag, but more romance choices are good!), I really wish they'd focus on bringing back the original romance companions before they create any new romance storylines. We're at two years now since they were taken away by the story.

I don't think so, they know not everyone has Arcann alive. If Theron's relationship does end, I don't think it will have anything to do with Arcann being made available. I could only believe that if he had not been killable.

A sith that uses her brains first. She could have decided that having Arcann on her side could help when she finishes taking care of Valiyn and then the Emperor would help cement her authority with Zakuul and the galaxy. She could yes destroy him but if she wants to rule the galaxy she would use her brains first and know that having him kneel to her before the galaxy would show her in a more favorable light and as she is busy trying to stop Valiyn she would decide that having him serve her would be best for now and then decide if he betrays her she could if she so wishes kill him at a later date.

 

Having Arcann live (at least the way they did it) makes no sense at all. I get not killing him cause of Senya, but he should still be jailed. Dude's just walking around like nothing.

Well since I am a roleplayer I can roleplay that I put him in jail and that would work provided you don't use him on your characters and that is pretty much the roleplay I did with him since my sorceress never uses him. See I might have killed him provided Senya wasn't kill as Senya was pretty loyal to my sorceress other than trying to save her son, which my sorceress said was Senya following her heart instead.

 

Note to Eshvara: Since Arcann is jailed on my sorceress there are restricted visiting hours (teasing):p

"When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. Elsewise no man will ever bend the knee to you."

 

And maybe not just stop at helping them back to their feet - something something "my hand is yours." Arcann could benefit from a good hand-holding.

Yeah it would, but a hesitant move or accidentally letting something slip rather than a "hey baby" moment XD

 

Tbh I think less of a hesitant move and more along the lines of what we've seen in the past - he's not exactly shy about making his interest in you (which can be interpreted platonically ofc) known.

 

Example One: During chapter one of KOTET, when he's escorting you to the throne room and he says, "I think you and I have a lot in common," or something similar - I know the voice actor was atleast partly responsible for how it can be interpreted, buuuut. A lot of people took it like a flirt, and I'm inclined to agree.

 

Example Two: The letter you receive after KOTFE - the infamous "And I have you." Need I say more?

 

Example Three: The latest letter, when he talks about how his hand is yours. This is the least flirty of the three, but he's no wallflower about his feelings.

 

I'm hoping that it'll be another similarly forward/loaded statement, which people can respond to how they'd like, rather than a direct "hey bby you wanna see the attachments i have for this hand" or a "Oh hi commander you look pretty... uh, tired, today. You look pretty tired. Not that you look bad!"

Yeah I wouldn't want him to be like shy and stuttering or anything like that but I wouldn't want him to become Doc either *shudders*

I can't help but imagine Senyas reaction to it xD

 

If they make this and add a reaction from her I want an option to say something like :

 

Senya: You better not break his heart, Commander!

Player: "I won't.... Mother" *character winks and walks away leaving Senya flabbergasted*

I asked Charles on Twitter if there would be a chance she will, hopefully he'll respond! :D

But an email would be nice too, rather than nothing.:rak_03:

I think it would be a big disservice we didn't atleast get a letter from her - Arcann's redemption is inextricably tied to Senya, but I'm trying to think of how she'd feel about it and I'm not sure. I wonder if there would be a little bit of fear, not just of the Outlander hurting Arcann, but perhaps fear of just how completely Arcann's emotional trauma extended? As others have mentioned, we aren't exactly sure of the nature of Arcann's former darkness. Does he have a tendency to seeking the approval of authority figures, a deeply ingrained personality trait? Or was it just his father, and that's all good now?

 

Anyway I'm procrastinating writing right now, and it's a fun exercise to analyse video game character motivations!

Think Force bond will be introduced for Jedi/Sith classes? That would be reminiscent of KOTOR with Bastilla and Revan for me. But then I wonder about the other non Force classes...

 

I'm not saying Force bond is necessary for romance where I am of the camp where it is not at all necessary. I haven't finished all the classes yet, so I don't know if there were arcs involving Force bonds. I think it would be an interesting topic to elaborate in TOR timeline.

I think the reaction e-mail would be comical XD

I can't wait to read it if there will be one! Or it could be sweet. Who knows. It would add to the "I'm a good mom, darn it!" persona Senya has.

 

Arcann wouldn't be redeemed if it wasn't for Senya's pure motherly love. So, hopefully, Senya has a presence without it marking Arcann into a momma's boy. Because that would be ... too cliched and diminish Arcann's character potential, imho.

I think they should write a TOR book on Arcann and Thexan. Just finished reading Annihilation and I need more SWTOR books :p

Annihilation was surprisingly fun. Re Thexan, I hope we get some conversations with Arcann where we learn more about how the two of them grew up together.
