I sort of agree. I do wish there were mature women for the male characters to romance.

SCORPIO should be romanceable. That would be NC-17.

Seems to me she should have at least several more years on her.
She ended up leaving his gang hen he was still walking around and was in it when she was very young. Id say she was more in it as a friend of Risha.

People seem to forget the characters age as the game goes on, they just dont change appearance. There's more than a few years involved in the storyline.
"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more...than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so *********** what." - Stephen Fry

It's because of those pillows she's got stuffed into her uniform isn't it?

Mature as in older? Like way older?

Dorne for trooper might come out that way actually, but only older by a couple of years.

Kaliyo seems older to me, but I already forgot her age But again, only a couple of years older at most.

That and the sagging jowls and no-nonsense ways. You've pegged me pretty good.

Mature as in less childish. It's not always about the numbers. You can be 30 and act like a 13 year old or be 17 and appear more mature than most adults I know.

The first thing I thought when I saw Nadia was "since I got this girl as a companion does that mean I don't get a romance?".

Actually, the story happens in span of several months.So called 'Cold War' (period from Sacking of Coruscant till third chapter of class stories) lasted 11 years, and at the start of the game it is known that Sacking of Coruscant happened ten years ago. Which gives the events of first two chapters about a year to unfold.

I understand about roleplay(which is important part of mmos)/canon division, but we are talking about game story here, not personal headcanons.

I was basing it off Satele saying it had been years since her and my JK first met.

Remember that SNL skit with Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley as Chipendale dancers? Remember when one of them had the dream of riding on the horse with the other one? Now I imagine me and Malgus doing the same along a beach somewhere when...

You know given the ignorance present on this planet along with that on the internet, it's probably best not to go there in a quasi-serious thread with an incendiary title.

Garza is hot though.
