Hmm, seems that in the vacuum of space you really don't need an attorney for the divorce. After all this is a very dangerous life, accidents happen. Ohhhhhh I'm sooo sory that the airlock malfunctioned and your daughter was spaced.

I hope they'll add more romance and companions content soon! Like daily quests, or more interaction with your romanced companion..

i also agree with Droidist, they should change what your romanced companion says when you want to talk while questing, exploring etc.. because it's the sames responses as when you meet her/him, like nothing is different.

In Mass Effect 2 I romanced Jacob with one of my FemSheps and I could always come back to him and have a short convo that ended with a hug. It was the last thing you could have with him in the game, so finishing up the last things prior to ME3 I could always come back and just talk to my LI. Haven't gotten to the last convo with my JK yet but I'm guessing that it's more of a mission that is finished and then over and not a repeatable thing.

 

Hoping that the last convo with a LI be like a daily q, you can always come back for a hug, waiting for new content to be added.

This, actually, would probably be enough to alleviate the "wha? it's all over?" feeling, especially since we don't get to see the "maximum resolution" version of our Companions except during cutscenes.

 

(Actually, maybe Bioware can just make the interior of your Ship render in maximum resolution? No combat involved, just turn the "holoprojector bug" into a permanent thing. As a Consular, at one point I had about 6 guests hanging around in a conference room before the end of Act 3, but I'm sure even that's manageable).

One thing I wish they would add beyond just "more quests that once you do we are waiting another 6 months for more companion quests" is the ability to interact with them then just besides "right clicking on them and getting 1 out of 10 different responses" Especially if you have romanced one. It is really stupid to have married the companion ... and that's it until bioware adds more quests...seriously? I mean, I know its "hahaha so funny that's marriage" ********, but if i kept giving my wife awesome gifts and spending time with her....i'd get more than just a cold shoulder LOL:cool:

Perhaps something like this:

If romanced an occasional (or related to more gifts/affection gained even beyond max) .1) some flirt scenes/options. 2) random poking fun of other companions/options 3) of course, what everyone wants; but too chicken to say... more sex scene options.

Looks like a lot of us are on the same page when it comes to the "simple things" in regular interaction. SilentKitty's metion of a "hug" is cool, I like that idea! Mostly because it's just something "different". Another idea I had is the "emote" function. For instance if I click "rally" in a group of players/NPCs they all jump, clap and cheer. I think it would be cool if I targeted my companion (and if married) I could do a /hug or /kiss and it would do it.

 

I also agree with Applesauce on changing or adding to the "canned" responses", when just clicking on the companion. "YES SIR!" Just doesn't seem like the appropriate response for my wife LOL! I think these are small things taht could be implemented. Someone also mentioned to just change the scenery. For me, my entire "Romance" took place in a med bay. A MED BAY?! How drepressing!

 

As for future content, I think mini-games/stories that are REPEATABLE like flashpoints would be cool. I'm not looking for XP or credits. Outside of being married and romance in general, to do repeatable social stories with otehr companions would be cool too, for example:

 

 

I'd never thought I'd be a guy on here arguing for more "romance" content LOL!!, but after hours of killing and killing and killing, it's totally a different change. I'm just glad I'm not the only "weirdo" that wanted more "romance"!! It's nice to know others want this content..

In my opinion the romance thing, and all the companion stuff really add something to the game, that's why i'd like more content.

Almost the same here. Well, I liked the possibility of romance in both Kotors, but for Swtor i didn't think that i'd care about it that much since it's an online game, but like i said, it really adds something.

The good thing about online games is that the content can be updated , so let's hope we'll have more romance content and companion stories, quests, more interactions and cutscene, etc...!

For now, just adding the possibility to interact with your romanced companion when you get back to your ship would make me happy, instead of getting those random canned responses (wich need to be changed too).

Also the info in your spoiler makes me think why DONT we do those "companion missions" together? I've had a few where Elara says "I got to go off and do ____", screen goes black and shes back. I'm like "well I would have came along". I know it's possible because as a trooper you had to go off and do a few what I call "side missions", one wasn't even about killing. Check it out:

 

 

 

I definitely don't want them to "back fill those missions", as I'm too far past that in my story, but anything new going forward should definitely have that side filler.

The random canned responses are a bit irritating (well some are, some are rather funny) but they should really evolve through the story. I still have Khem occasionally telling me he wants to eat me on my SI. And Jaesa's don't work with her being LS (yes I play a LS leaning Sith, honorably evil). ANd I am tired of being called my lord by Quinn on my SW (yes I married him) and sith by Andronikos on my SI (just finished that one last night). Now while it would be awesome to hear them call you by your toons name I know that I probably impossible given the variety of names in the game, but maybe they could give you the option of picking a "pet name" or something maybe.

It's amazing how most of us have the same requests and concerns! Seems like a lot of us want this option.

 

I agree, in the "pet name" thing. Once my male trooper called Elara "darling", but she got all mad and said "this is serious!" I also get irritated that she is always like "Yes sir!". In a strange "fantasy play" that's kinda of funny but realistically I don't think my wife would call me "sir", especially in private areas. Once again I think this is an "easier" update to do. I also use my companion in combat, so I think it would be awesome once in a while instead of saying "let me heal you" to "honey, are you ok? this should help." It would just immerse the story that much more.

As a Trooper you had to destroy the "Gauntlet", that story (even though it was action based) totally rocked because ALL the companions were in on it. Totally fun. Now if that was repeatable (with maybe a couple other possible out comes) that would be cool.

I think all companion "cutscenes" should be replayable. I haven't finished the romance with Elara on my trooper yet as I'm not done with chapter 2, but I wish I could replay the romance dialog between my Consular and Nadia. Not redo, as in change my choices - but just watch it again, like a 2 minute sappy soap opera scene.

In my opinion the romance thing, and all the companion stuff really add something to the game, that's why i'd like more content.

 

 

For those who completed the romance arc with Jaesa, there's a few things that disapointed me. Like when she speaks of hunting down lightside sith, there's just a black screen and she come back like "i killed them all". Would have been a nice thing if this was a quest, where you go with her and take care of those fake sith, that's what i expected when she started to speak about it. Also she's your apprentice, and that aspect doesn't really appears. Again, a few "teaching" quests would have been nice.

I love the romance, but I also love the romance in fantasy based stories in general (as long as it's not ALL romance).

 

I hope for a daily/weekly type emotional interaction with the romantic companion - whether it's an emotional hug or another fade-to-black scene. I also would like to see the romantic interest move up to your quarter's on the ship. Sorry, but Nadia and Elara are going to be in my guy's quarters, at least after marriage - I ain't making them sleep in the medical bay.

 

Also - for the love of all that is RPG-holy, please let us switch to a non-combat appearance when in safe zones / cantinas / cities. It's strange to be having a romantic conversation with Elara while wearing 150 pounds of armor on both of us - or, for that matter, to be running through the Senate Tower on Coruscant with a 150 pound minigun on my back. Those be times for dress outfits and murder pistols.

 

Man, I'm loling inside at the thought of a spec ops Major testifying before our U.S. Congress geared out for a warzone. Imagine multiple rifles on his back with ammo belts and survival gear. I think he'd be a bit intimidating.

...I could replay the romance dialog between my Consular and Nadia. Not redo, as in change my choices - but just watch it again, like a 2 minute sappy soap opera scene.

 

Fraps it, yo!

It was the inquisition after the original Havoc squad defected to the Empire. It didn't even involve fighting, just questioning. It was kinda cool. Also there was a mission that you could do with your first companion Aric, it was a side mission with actual combat.

 

I definitely don't want them to "back fill those missions", as I'm too far past that in my story, but anything new going forward should definitely have that side filler.

 

Yes.

 

I was frustrated by Nadia's, "I want to go see Tython." I was like - SWEET! a picnic where I escort Nadia around Tython that ended in a fade to black. /grrrr

 

Elara was somewhat the same with the "I must rescue my brother but you have to stay here" sillyness. Eh, no - how about I dress down and just pretend to be under your command for the mission instead? Specs ops are all about subterfuge anyway.

Agreed on wishing that you actually got to participate more in companion's missions. As hilarious as it was to meet Kaliyo (My husband has an IA alt, so the chance meeting with her kind of made my day) and gossip about Doc, I think it would've been more fun to participate in the project that brought her to visit in the first place.

Fraps it, yo!

 

Well, there's that; however, you don't know what is romantic cutscene and what is standard companion story until you right click.

 

Still - I think a holoprojector on the ship that could replay those cutscenes and perhaps even cutscenes from your class story or planet stories would be awesome. Think of it has your character's personal log/journal.

 

That holoprojector/journal could even be something that requires investment in the game - a legacy reward if you will. Maybe even a high-end item acquired from a cybertech for your ship.

Yes! I again totally agree that you should be able to replay the conversations in the game. Of course like you said not to change the out come, but just to see it over again. Like any good story: movie or a book, you can always rewind or reread. But in SWTOR once it's gone, it's gone

 

I have been doing Raeln's suggestion, using FRAPS. However I didn't start using it until I got to level 40, so most of my Trooper story is only in my memory. I pretty much use FRAPs for ANY story now. The bad part it is murder on harddrive space. But I don't keep them all only funny or epic ones. Also of course the romantic ones like the Elara proposal LOL!!

..

 

But anyhow, I totally endorse the ability re-view conversation scenes.

Since this is a MMO, and there isn't a 'save' option. It would be nice to be able to try and reconsile if needed with your companion of choice to romance.

Like, in DA:O, ME 1 & 2, KoTOR 1 & 2, where there was a romantic story invloved and you f'd up the conversation with your companion that you fancied, all you had to do was (given that you saved your game prior to the conversation with them) reload the game, until you got it right lolz.

That would be nice, but MMOs will never have that option. So perhaps, a alternative method would be nice.

I know, I know 'there are no do-overs in life' but this is a video game and I would really like to be able to know what choices would lead to affection gains vs. bitterness.

Mainly for example: Kira, shes a digi-cutie, but my JK should know (like using the force, and having some icon next to the conversational responses) and only with companion conversations, as that just occured to me, as to a pre-emptively know 'ok, saying this option will gain affection bonuses, and that one will make them hate you'...

I really would not enjoy having to "buy" Kira's love... or any of my alts that I lvl in the future for that matter.

Here's to hoping they make a romance expansion!

Never understood why someone had to get romantically involved with a fantasy character? Seems kind of creepy to me.. Edited January 24, 2012 by Fujah

I'm not sure what they could do - how would Elara having kids work? I really don't want to be without a healer for my Trooper for 9 months (even in accelerated game time). Would that essentially mean that she is replaced from my crew?

 

I'd be happy with some repeatable for emotional support (daily/weekly hugs), some different "phrases" for her to say while on the ship when you click on her and while she's in the field with you. Someone else suggested that she says, "honey, are you okay?" instead of "let me heal you" when targeting you. At the very least, please move her to my quarters in the ship and change her name from Dorne to my legacy name.

 

Aside from that - the crew should have some interaction. I can't believe Jorgan didn't have a dialog with me to "caution" me on having romance with Elara, a fellow officer in the squad. I could see Tanno having a dialog congratulating me (in typical military manner) on my "conquest". Either way - the other companions should react in some way to the romance as well.

 

Note: I don't want it to go so far as for her to start losing affection if she's not the one with me as my current companion though.

 

Can you imagine though, if while running through Coruscant, she came off with a remark like, "honey - what would you think of getting an apartment here when we retire?"

Do you read any novels?

But I'm not controlling the novels. Plus, I don't read romance novels.
