Thank you, thank you. A logical thought. Even though you're not a fan, and that's perfectly fine with me, you don't think Quinn making a mistake is a bigger deal than a dude who killed millions. Finally, someone with logic whether you like a companion or not.
Bioware, please remember our companion spouses when doing new expansions. I want scenes, letters, or something from them, saying they're worried!

However, I already liked Quinn before that and enjoy when games suck me in and make me feel something, so it just made me like Quinn more. I'm a little strange, I know.
I think framing someone for their father's murder counts as betrayal of trust, especially when it's implied by him freeing the player in the first place. He used the player and framed them. But perceptions, I guess, people see things differently.

Arcann had a choice to do what he did. Quinn didn't cause he's stuck between powerful Sith and would likely end up dead, but anyway... No worries about being strange, I get that all the time.

I'm hardly surprised.

I feel there was never any trust to betray between player character and Arcann, nor did the player really have a chance to get attached to Arcann before he started to do unpleasant things. But this is probably not the place to have a long discussion about things like this.

Why do you hate so much a comp you know there will never be reintroduced to game?

I'm sure he'll come back. Originally he was going to be an alert, but something went wrong with it and they had to hold off. Maybe they'll change it where he's back in 6.0 or 5.10. Who knows, but I wouldn't say he's going forever.

I don't think they are the same either. What Quinn did endangered less than ten people; what Arcann did was senselessly murder millions and gravely hurt the player more than once. What they have in common is that I am not comfortable with either of them in my Alliance.

The way I look at Quinn is that he'd be on my personal "do not rehire" list in HR, if it were an office. Yeah, guy, you did it, we've moved on, but you don't get another chance to mess up my office.

Arcann would be on my "call the cops and have this guy arrested and tried with a felony and put in jail for a hundred years" list because I don't pardon war criminals like that.

As mentioned in another thread I wish they had given Sith Warriors who stay Imperial-side an option to refuse to work with Quinn. Killing him was overkill (sorry for the pun) but there was no other way to keep him away from my Alliance. It didn't have to be big and dramatic. It could have been "Sorry, you have to leave."

I've noticed that there are reject options for all the companions this year so maybe they've learned from that.

Dude I've been pro Zenith coming back ... I still think they should have used him for a Balmorra Star Fortress mission

I don't hate Zenith, he just never really stood out to me when I did the JC story, then again none of them really did any note worthy.

Thank you! If i wasn't such a hothead and delete my SW cause of the Torian/Vette choice, i would have re-recruited Quinn , after all he is a valuable crew member.

Please stop this forced LI nonsense, it will make more people unsub.
Thanks!

You're forgetting one big fundamental point: Arcann IS killable, so even if a player does keep him alive he's not going to have as much screentime as one of the unkillable romance options (excluding some of the class romances, which as it stands is Theron and Lana since we don't know whether or not Theron will have a kill option yet).

Also, is it really necessary to keep being insulting about physical appearance? Fictional or not, the guy is a burns victim for goodness sake, plus it's just downright shallow if you ask me. You can't help what you are/aren't attracted to, but there's no need to be so rude about it.
