@above Exactly! if anything it is the opposite! the female inquisitor and warrior both of whom are 20 years old tops, actively pursue and hook up with men much older then them. Andronikos is 35 while Quinn is 37!
Sweet melody... bringing forth a message of an absolute love! My treasured melody, after this stormy night the 7 colored aurorae soothes my soul, oh sweetest of melodies calling forth the dawn! the inescapable light filled with the infinite warmth of life!

Just put "[/quote]" at the end of the quote and that'll fix it.

People usually mistake it with trolling along with sarcasm, humor in general or anything that they just don't like. The cable news title would feature the title "Underage Sexual Content in Star Wars The Old Republic? What are your kids playing?" where I state that all of the characters are 12 years old while the PC is 160 without having ever played the game.

Seems to me she should have at least several more years on her. Spoiler They were childhood friends, the little ex-slave girl befriended little daughter of space pirate. And it is usual practice for criminals to use children for scouting, luring in someone to a trap etc since most people will not suspect 'innocent' child. IIRC they both mention they were about ten back then. So her age is perfectly on timeline

Out of curiosity and not to derail the original topic, but you know....to completely derail it, what's your opinion on how they handle romances in general? Personally, I prefer them to be more like Easter Eggs. I played through KOTOR like two times before I changed things up on another playthrough and found they were even an option with larger ramifications. Want to say I did the same in Jade Empire. Something about having a wheel tell me that I'm "Flirting" seems a bit calculated and by default, stalkerish.

I like the way they handled party interactions period there. Dialogue flowed more naturally and your companions actually acknowledged each other's existence.
