Arcann romance appreciation thread! Haters keep out please!❤

What makes him attractive for me outside the physical appearance and voice (yammy), is the fact that he will be playersexual. It is really that simple. Beggers can't be choosers. I have Theron, Koth and now Arcann. Btw, females liking females have it even worse, they have Lana, Lana and Lana. My guys have blue balls even before they get to Theron and most give up then and take him. Only one saved his cherry to Koth. Now I have one who lived like a monk waiting for Arcann, and one who dumps Theron for Arcann, just for science.

Look, it is fancy and all that people have all this time and energy to spin off ideological debates about some pixel characters sins and misgivings. I might have the time, but no energy for it, as I have real problems in this life. Wrecking my head about moral choices and then arguing about them with some internet strangers is the least amusing thing I can think about, and I can think about plenty of not-so-amusing things to do. Arcann being a "mass-murderer" or whatever is totally irrelevant to me. It is a game. He didn't kill anyone as he actually doesn't exist. He is a willling pixel-body with a hawt-sounding VO and ready to bend down for me. That is all I need to romance him in a whooping 2 minutes cutscene-romance. It's entertainment, romantic entertainment. I take it in any form my gay *** can get it, as it is not plenty.

I guess I could start with questioning why straight male protagonists have better and interesting romance options; LS/DS force users, Mercenary/rogue and military characters. There were ten of them for class stories alone (other than Lana), some of them are girlish innocence, some are sensuous and experienced. Straight/male Sith Warrior, Smuggler and Imperial Agent even have more choices than their female counterparts. And including Arcann, there's four gay options to choose from (Lord Cytharat count as a first even briefly).

Whereas there are only eight of straight class romance options for female protagonists which only consist of dull safe and boring men or reckless and whiny manchilds. Military-personality or rogue-personality, or they have some interesting/weird traits or personal arc that blurred that line (With Aric Jorgan being the ONLY alien romance option) but it always follow that two spectrum. Theron and Koth also fit that rogue-ish military-ish personality. Despite existing male companion characters like Tharan, Zenith, Scourge, Talos, Pierce, Rusk, Tanno Vik, Lokin and Gault who all should be romanced if they choose to create resources for them.

And I never understand why it took 7 years in this game to let female protagonist to romance a male force user... (fridged Urtel Moren doesn't count).... Was Wrath, Inquisitor, Knight and Consular are all unattractive women incapable to find love among their force-using male peers that they all have to settle for less? But their male counterpart isn't?

As for f/f options; there are Juhani in KOTOR1, Lemda Avesta and Lana in SWTOR, Liara, Sha'ira, Samara, Kelly, Traynor, Allers in Mass Effect trilogy, Peebee, Vetra, Suvi, Kerri in Mass Effect Andromeda; Leliana, Isabella, Merrill, Josephine and Sera in Dragon Age series... the romance quality differed, some are permanent, some are just flings. You can even choose to mod as well to add more f/f romance characters; Ashley, Miranda, Jack, Tali, Cora, Visas Marr, Bastila Shan, Morrigan, Cassandra...

But as far as choices go, if they choose to resurrect Vaylin, I want that to happen because the plot requires it rather than for her to exist as a straight/gay romance option. That's just pure tasteless.

I would rather push for Senya's or Satele Shan's or Acina's or Shae Viszla's romance if that even make a difference. And Arcann's entire existence doesn't solely depend on a possible romance... and none of us even care that he is romanceable for years before.

Also why does it matters so much that you have to understand why other people find someone attractive that you personally don't? None of us here have to defend ourselves for liking someone you don't like.

And whenever other people in your life who find themselves being attracted to someone and that someone was attracted to them, do you question them hard about why they're both attracted to each other except for you, who don't find them attractive at all? Do you struggle to understand why others that you find as not attractive also find themselves not attracted to you?



and Its just fictional characters in a game that allow optional romance arcs. If you don't, you just don't.

Oh, you do like to ask hard questions, do you? I have a LS SI who may be attracted to Arcann. She is a strange one. Likes a challenging fight, underdogs and scars. Hates Vitiate and respects anyone who refuses to play into his hands. Anyone who she can not scare/awe into submission and who is not dependent on her is interesting. And power... Oh yes, power is something she loves. It may work, it may not work.

Funny thing - I was not going to romance Arcann. But after all that hate (and you putting some very... interesting images in my head), I am open to it. Depends on writing really.

Another TV Tropes victim! Have they ruined you perception of books, games and movies too? Love that site

You can play a character that finds one unrepentant monster attractive. Others can play a character who is attracted to a former monster.

Nope! I only use it for video game characters , and nothing's ruined for me!

This is exactly how I feel. Besides, it doesn't exactly make a difference. People who don't like him or have a certain opinion of him, won't ever understand, no matter how much or how often you explain yourself. It's exhausting!
Nobody asks this question about any other character, with the exception of Arcann.😪

Well, it is a good question (minus the "benefit of the doubt") and I felt like sharing It is interesting what others in this thread think of the subject – I like different perspectives (minus the “you must be sick!” one).

I can not speak for the one who asked, but... If not for my short visit to Quinn thread I would still think that his romance is a pure nightmare fuel. Now... Not so much. If I will level another SW, I may give it a try. If I would not peek into Therons topic, I would not be aware of the triple agent theory (would be nice if it is true and the reason for keeping PC in the dark are good). Sometimes I can change my mind .

As for defending part... Yeh, I do not get it, why anyone should.

Every fan of his has a different reason too, asking that question requires ability to understand you'll get 100 different answers.

I guess as an Arcannmancer I have the privilege to be asked this "good question" over and over again!! And occasionally being called sick.

tahols answer blowed my mind away

Finally getting laid is now officially on my SI "To do:" list!



Arcanns voice: "Be honored."
