You cannot marry Quinn before the incident anymore, just so you know. That used to happen because every single companion conversation was tied to affection score, now it's tied to class story progression. His is a very "I'm military and not sith, you're my master this feels odd" and works it's way from there with all the companion quests as he gets a bit tougher, more ruthless (assassinating a Moff etc) and then is finally fine with the relationship. He's an odd one.

I very much prefer the romances that are with characters that 'grow' over time. Like Arcann has a big arc, so interest is there. Quinn grows, Theron has a good one during SoR if you're playing an Imperial, lots of hesitation at first. Andronikos feels like he treats the SI as any other woman he meets right from the get go, but that's just me. Stuff like that.
Always a Theron fan!

I'm going to make so many spelling mistakes writing on my phone and my autocorrect trying to change everything into Finnish words, but I just had to comment this. Sorry

I don't think Quinn was planning to backstab the pc from the start. He was Baras' spy, but pc was Baras' apprentice, so they were on the same side. I always thought Quinn viewed his position as someone making sure pc was not planning against his Master and informing Baras if s/he did. The situation only got bad once Baras decided to get rid of the pc, at which point Quinn had conflicting loyalities (or, if pc was rude and outright destructive towards Empire, I guess he didn't). I don't think he was actively planning his betrayal, not until he was ordered to do it. But that just my view as a fan and I agree that there are things that don't make sense (like him having the same dialogue no matter if he loved or hated the pc)

Anyway, I promise to comment something more Arcann-y Once I get back home! Posts made on phone during lunch breaking aren't my favorite form of communication.

Ah well that's good at least, I remember people being very confused and upset.
Yeah I like development arcs aswell they don't necessarily have to be romantic either just something that develops the connection to the character, it's why I wish they had more funding to make scenes work with multiple companions instead of just making one essential; could help with some of the hate/ frustration directed at some characters.

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm one of the worst offenders when it comes to off topic and they haven't kicked me out yet
