casirabit Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 I hope it's not her; I'm not a fan of Anri at all. Rivix or nothing! If it's Rivix as a romance, I'll forgive all the other changes they're doing in 7.0 and give BW my credit card details & life savings* *accounts may be empty If the way Jackie was acting could tell you anything I would say it was Rivix just by her behavior when they announced that. I could deal with that but I am not holding my breath. They have once again stuck Lana as the only one that can go with you to the mission and while I will not say I want her kill because of others that like her, I am getting sick and tired of her going with us.
casirabit Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 I really hope they haven't made Arn the romanceable one over Rivix. And you're right; Arn does look likes he's wearing a wookie wig and now I can't unsee it either Arn not that bad if it is not Rivix. I could at least deal with if it was Arn.

I could deal with that but I am not holding my breath. They did put a lot of emphasis on his likeable/mysterious qualities during the livestream and they did leave him 'till last in a sort of "...best 'till last" kind of announcement. We shall see.
BlueShiftRecall Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 Confirmed on the Livestream: Rivix will be in 7.0 Also confirmed one of the characters will be kissable but they wouldn't say which one, only that this character so had not been. Fingers crossed for it being Rivix. Did they really only say that "one" will be, what a shame, why can't they share the love around more. I like both Rivix (I got a saboteur IA all lined up for that romance and drama!) and Arn (got someone lined up for him to). Or maybe it'll be Malgus?

I listened to/watched the Livestream again and from 34min 27 seconds CB mentions that there'll be AT LEAST ONEcharacter we'll get to kiss that we haven't before So there's hope for Rivix, however I think it will be Arn and Rivix because both sides have been asking for a force using male companion from their own faction, so it makes sense to be those two. As for Anri - Lana has eyes for her so they can go with that and leave her out of my companion business.

Here's hoping for a romance/kiss and that Rivix can also be a permanent companion.

Here's hoping for a romance/kiss and that Rivix can also be a permanent companion. You're welcome! And I really hope so too. I didn't notice until I rewatched the livestream live, that Jackie K was fanning herself when she was telling us about Rivix That's awesome! Jackie, if you're ever lurking in here, welcome to our Rivix love & madness. Edited November 21, 2021 by Sarova
Cawyden Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Thank you for that, the more the merrier romance wise. Here's hoping for a romance/kiss and that Rivix can also be a permanent companion. I am always for new romance options (even Arn, yes) and Rivix is especially interesting/attractive. I am wondering if a romance option would prevent him from stabbing us in the back or if he would do that anyway... Do you think because he has pheromones or other (force?) powers to make others like him he might not even consider the commander having real feelings for him, and that the commander is just falling for his manipulation?

My Sith Inqs and agents who I have ready for a Rivix romance have very strong minds. I always choose to have a free mind that can't be controlled for my agents when Watcher X helps them to free themselves from the brainwashing in their class story. Sith Inqs also developed strong mental powers following the whole force ghost harbouring thing so I think they'd be unaffected by Rivix's special species power. I also think it's interesting in Secrets of the Enclave that Rivix has powers that enables him to feel things others can't; I think he'd know the difference between his pheromone powers working and genuine feelings from the Commander.

"Allegedly, the Zeltrons gave off pheromones that made people like them and had a calming effect." "The first was that they all produce potent pheromones, similar to the Falleen species, which enhanced their attractiveness and likeability. The second was a limited telepathic ability, used to project emotions onto others, as well as allowing them to read and even feel the emotions of others" So I doubt if the commander has feelings for him it has been manipulated, it was just done to make him more likeable but that doesn't always work when you make my commander angry.

Thank you very much for the link, very interesting. Did they confirm he is Zeltron? But the description fits him perfectly so he very likely is one. But reading that they "live for romance" it would be a shame if he would not become a LI....

They haven't confirmed he's Zeltron; it seems the most likely species though, especially given the one-to-one agents have with Vector about Rivix. Big fat spoilers if you've not played an agent yet. You have been warned! - not my video, found on YT Edited November 25, 2021 by Sarova
Cedia Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 I just finished my first playthough up to the current end of the story with my BH, and I'm wondering if Republic characters get to interact with Rivix? I know my Smuggler gal would jump on that. Unfortunately, none of my Imps would.
Gilrenna Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 I love Darth Rivix's voice, but I keep seeing Balthier in my head. I'd also like a chance to romance him. I do have a bad feeling he's involved in shenanigans, though. My saboteur feels like he can see right through her lies.
Dylinrae Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 Hey girls, where are you? XD Let's keep this thread going. I'm so excited about Rivix, I really hope we will be able to romance him in the upcoming expansion. He's shady, but cute. I was so happy when he said: "I can guarantee that you and I will be spending more quality time together." Oh yesss! Quality time with Rivix sounds so much fun!
absolutetristan Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Hey girls, where are you?! No he's or they's allowed.
Kellorion Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 i want a version of his callous conq. armour.
Cedia Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) i want a version of his callous conq. armour. There is a hooded version on the CM. Sadly, no unhooded one. And I finally broke down and made a new female SW just in case we get a Rivix romance. (Though I hope that it wouldn't be restricted to just female characters.) Edited January 2, 2022 by Cedia
Sarova Posted February 20, 2022 Author Posted February 20, 2022 Regarding the start of Elom with the Rivix cut scene, I HAVE QUESTIONS! Rivix enters and says "which way to the victory celebrations" and I chose the flirt option for my character who responded "I would ask if you wanted to join me for a swim, but we'll have to get you dressed for it first" what the whatting what? Did I miss something? What's the context? What celebration Swim you say? Where's the pool? Rivix in swimwear?? What is happening?

I think that he just refers to the victory on Manaan, and a swim, since Manaan is an ocean planet. Sadly, I found this "flirt" option extremely underwhelming and dry.

Sadly, I found this "flirt" option extremely underwhelming and dry. The Manaan story (Empire side) is so "meh" that I didn't even think of that. Thanks for pointing that out. As for the flirt options - just give people the romances they want devs. There are too many issues with the 7.0 game not to throw in a little gratuitous LI fun to take our minds off it all
Izjaslav Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 There are too many issues with the 7.0 game not to throw in a little gratuitous LI fun to take our minds off it all I couldn't agree more.
absolutetristan Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 So... will we ever be able to recruit (and romance) Rivix (and the other new characters) or will they always just be story props?
Tarlonniel Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I'd certainly like to tote Rivix around on my Imps, but he seems (seems) very well-entrenched in and loyal to the Empire. Something pretty drastic might need to happen to get him working for us instead of the Emperor. As for romance - well, Anri got a kiss in the last release, so maaaaybe we'll be getting something like that from Mr. Slick in the future... or maybe he'll get a kill option and we'll never see him again. It would figure.

Both sides are long overdue a force using LI (that's not Arcann). Or rather kill options on the male romances (yeah, I'm still annoyed by in-your-face-all-the-time-Lana and Ashara's return).
