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.
Because I'm curious. That's really the only reason. I'm not asking anyone to defend their choices, I simply wanted to understand. I desire knowledge a lot, and when I encounter something I don't understand I try to gather as much data about it from as reliable and trustworthy a source as possible. Is that so wrong? (You're coming off as pretty hostile here FYI, chill out!)

As to whether I do the same with people in my life, why yes I do, to an extent. Most of the time when somebody in my life gets into a relationship with someone I know them well enough to see why they are attracted to each other, so I don't need to acquire data directly from the source. In this case I know none of you in a personal way, hence why I inquire as to the source of the attraction, so that I can understand.

In general if people are hostile telling them to chill doesn't de-escalate matters There were a few answers posted, if you want a more in depth discussion I suggest you find some one willing and pm Easier to hold a proper discussion that way.

Edit:
Or you could just read back through the thread, I'm sure it comes up more than once. I'm usually up for debate, if I'm not it will become obvious pretty quickly and most regulars in the thread are friendly if you approach them the right way I'm sure some wouldn't mind discussing it with you.

But for those who don't like them that much there is only so much patience you can have I think.

Sorry, have been absent for a while. I haven't been playing much Swtor the last couple of days as I have other games that I tend to play too (Star Trek Online, Divine Divinity Original Sin 2 and now again Dragon Age Inquisition). Of course too much for not enough time so sometimes I am more in the mood for one game and sometimes I play a different one.

Anyway great to see your characters! I love seeing pictures of other players characters - only downside is that most of the time it inspires me to create a new character to play with... and I already have too many of them

I have tried to put mine together too:
Consulars
Jedi Knights
Troopers
Smugglers
Bounty Hunters
Agents
Sith Warriors
Sith Inquisitors

These three are planned for the Arcann romance - maybe I will choose Arcann as LI for some others as well, this isn't clear yet.

And yes, definitely love for Chiss from me as well - which is why I am very happy that we get the Chiss speeder as subsriber reward.
PLEASE Start a fashion thread where you tell us where you get your pretties!

I'm not against Arcann, but when i was told by my guildies " screw Torian, screw Andronikos, only Arcann matters" things got a bit humiliating. I know, i'm just some poor European, my opinion does not matter against the opinions of Americans, but ..why aren't my choices as important as yours? Why i must be forced to dismiss, as a new player, the class romances? Why can't i enjoy the classes without being bashed and ridiculized for the choices i've made?
Now think how fortunate you will be to just wither away and never be ...

I'm sad this happened in your guild, but you can't really change the mind and opinions of a few people who think a certain way. Your opinion matters as much as that of any other. If they like Arcann more than everything, that's great, they do. If you prefer Torian or Theron, that's awesome as well. This game is about your character and your story matters to only you. Play it the way you want to!! I can't say I've ever experienced anything bad from people being American just because I'm from Europe, Maybe it's because I'm on a European server, but the forum has a bunch of Americans and they're just as kind as anyone else! I don't think this is a nation matter really.
If your guild behaves in a certain matter that isn't to your liking, maybe it's time you find a more suitable guild?
I'm guildless myself and I am quite fond of being so.

Is it just their opinion of "favorite characters", or in a guild forced to play with an unloved companion? Another's opinion is almost impossible to change, but one can always defend one's own.
And just to explain "Sorry, guys, but I have another favorite companion, and with him I will play."
Nobody has the right to dictate to the player how and with what companions he should play.

Pff i guess you are right, maybe i should just leave the guild and go on my way? I really don't care about where are the other players from, what or who do they like, i just played two classes and im really confused, i'm sure you can understand that. Yes my guild really annoys me, they are far more advanced and trying to make me think as they do, i don't blame you or other posters in this thread, the thing i'm really complain about is there cannot be any comparison between Torian and other male characters, they are all OK in their own way.
Sorry for my mixed up English, i'm from Ukraine and English is not my first language i speak.

Well, I for one, do NOT believe that Arcann is more important than Vector, Kira, Elara, Aric, Vette, (Watcher 2 please) or any other LI! However, he is the Only option for my Consular.

Never apologize for your English, though polite, it isn't necessary! English is my second language as well, I make mistakes, I misunderstand and reading posts is a lot more confusing than actually hearing people speak and the way they say certain things! I don't think any of the companions are comparable either. Torian is very different from Arcann or Quinn, they behave different ways, say and do different things. It isn't about which one is better than the other, it's subjective and a matter of taste. I do understand why it may annoy you when people say things like this, I've been there, I am still there more often than I would like, but it kinda is what it is. Searching a new guild seems definitely like a good idea when I read your post, it will probably make you happier in the long run when you find a guild you relate to.
Please don't let anyone ruin your favourite companion with their opinion or ruin your fun in your story/game. It's not worth the headache!

Arcann is everything to me in terms of companions, I don't personally care for the others. But that doesn't mean just because I don't , your opinion about them doesn't matter.
