Desaroll Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I haven't reached that far, but some romantic options are dark side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereler Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's funny how in KOTOR the message was "love will save you from the dark side", and was thumped into your skull by Jolee Bindo, Bastilla, Carth, etc. But in TOR it's the Dark Side option.

firequill Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 would make for a really "interesting" relationship. "oh, honey, i'm going out for a girls night out, i'll probably won't be home for several days, most probably i'll be very tired when i do come back.." Jedi husband: *audible sigh, peers over the edge of the newspaper* "ok, honey, tell the male strippers i said hi" *turns to the sports pages in the paper and continues reading* Following the jedi code strctly denies you your emotions, so your companions would be little more than "business-partners" , getting emotional and thus dipping into the darkside slightly won't bother me, it's thematic imho. Join the darkside, we have all-you-can-eat buffé's at the strip-joints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittand Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's funny how in KOTOR the message was "love will save you from the dark side", and was thumped into your skull by Jolee Bindo, Bastilla, Carth, etc. But in TOR it's the Dark Side option. It is only darkside for the two classes that more or less take a vow not to take part in a romance and are oathbreakers if they do. The remaining six classes do not get darkside points as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erian Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Why do people keep citing Jolee as some kind of infallible guru on this issue? He has no leg to stand on whatsoever, his own experiences and failures run directly counter to his words in this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Vicente Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You get Dark Side points as a Jedi because if you peruse the romances, you specifically say, "Well, the council is wrong, let's do it anyway" (paraphrasing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistyAhsoka Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I would hate to get Dark Side points for pursuing a Romantic relationship as a Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arccion Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) It takes Dark Side points because falling in love is specifically against the jedi code. "There is no emotion, there is peace" That is not to say jedi are without emotion, it's just to say that they try not to let emotion guide their decisions and actions, and the jedi council (at the time of the old republic) understands that falling in love is a huge emotional attachment that can lead to all kinds of emotional breakdowns therefore increasing the lure of the dark side.

ReiperX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It doesn't matter in the end. Taking a few dark side hits here and there won't change your alignment at all as long as you mostly follow the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westphal Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I love that the current Grand Master of the Jedi was born of a Jedi Union and is descendant from Bastila and Revan, and yet Jedi love is DS? lol Then you are probably going to like this one even more, she also has a son On Topic: I think it is a lot about semantics really, you can make valid points for both sides of the argument. At the end of the day though, I think it comes down to game mechanics (if indeed this is the way it is implemented in game). It makes sense to give a Dark side points to a Sith for pursuing a romance since they are "giving" in to passion. I don't think many people would argue otherwise or I am wrong? Thus in extention (since the main conflict of the game is basically Sith versus Jedi) it makes sense to award Dark and Light side points on the same criteria for the force wielding classes on both sides of the fence. If you follow my meaning. Personally I am fine either way. Especially since I am going to role a Bounty Hunter Edited December 14, 2011 by Westphal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylyn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So, I heard bioware was considering getting rid of the dark side points for jedi romance responses. Did they? There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no death, there is the Force. Nope, no passion for you. You do get serenity however. I guess that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's good. well i guees i'm not a jedi or a sith ^^ I'M The New Chosen One who uses both sides The Chosen One An ancient prophecy foretold the appearance of a chosen one imbued with a high concentration of midi-chlorians, strong with the Force, and destined to alter it forever. Anakin Skywalker was believed by many to be the chosen one. He had the highest concentration of midi-chlorians the Jedi Council had ever seen. He was possibly conceived by the midi-chlorians (parthenogenesis) Edited December 14, 2011 by Jay_focus_Zal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liaskar Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was under the impression that you can romance as a jedi without getting dark side points. There's only certain choices during the romance arc that get you them. After all, the male consular's romance choice is one of the most goody-goody companions in the game.
