Arcann romance appreciation thread! Haters keep out please!❤

True. He is a hatesink now and with a very good reason.

I wounder if devs had something in the works to justify his presence before the famous "limited resources and time" struck. Everything after KOTET seem so rushed and makes so little sense.

It would be nice to have some reaction. It would be nice to see Arcann actually doing something for the Alliance and maybe, just maybe earning a little bit of "at least he is useful to have around as a meatshield". Now all you can do is to use him as a companion or... nothing really.

I guess this bare husk of a story with missing bones and no meat at all can be a reason why we run wild on forums. If we had more content, if original companions were returning in chapters and had more interaction, if our PC was not limited to Stupid Good or Chaotic Evil reactions, if Lana and Theron were not taking all the screen-time, if we had something to sink our teeth in... Perhaps we would not have to write the story for ourselves? I know that if my guild was up, I would be too busy with happily wiping in Ops, definitely not posting walls of texts in a thread dedicated to Arcann (but I would be lurking - you are fun, crazy and crazy awesome ).

By the way, I do giggle occasionally then I send Arcann on crew mission. IDK, just imagining him doing all this things in description, it's too funny. Tell me I am not the only one?

I think one thing that lovers and haters of Arcann can agree on is that there should be more negative reactions for him joining the alliance. I guess Bioware was just hurry to finish the story and didn't have time for that.

Agreed, and it's probably because we"not me" but the people! Asked for the story to end? Now we're all sad it's the way it is. Or well to a degree for most of us anyway.

If I recall, people wanted to go back to Imp vs Pub, and now that we have Iokath, some are calling for the plot not to go back to Imp vs Pub.

So whatever 6.0 is about, they've already lost unless they can appease both.

Then you've got the whole thing with Theron ... Kill him / Spare him?

Oh yeah. I do it all the time.
Situations in the game itself are also funny.
I recently had two Emperors of Zakuul (former and current) collected scrap metal and carried socks to Jawa.

Probably. I guess Therons should be based on choice but not be shafted like old Companions. Which could happen due to the whole Arcann getting a romance while he's dead for some.

Wow, you people have beeb busy have been busy while I was gone.
I'll add my thoughts to this: I found Arcann (and his family in general) to be fascinating, though I admit that I disliked the whole Eternal Empire story at first (though I was excited for the chance that the Empire and Republic would work together). It wasn't until when the Betrayed-trailer for KoTET was released that made me really feel bad for Valkorion's family and everything else within the story began to seem interesting. When you got to the chance to recruit Arcann, I took it, since I truly wanted to believe that he wanted to redeem himself (just as Jaime Lannister does in George R:R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire).
He has done terrible things, like so many other characters in Star Wars history. That he wants to redeem himself won't wash away the horrible things that he has committed, but I truly, and I mean it, believe that the good in him has surfaced and that he wants to change.

I'm most curious to see whether we'll actually get any reaction from the Galaxy (and from within the Alliance too) that the former Emperor of Zakuul has joined forces with the Outlander. Surely such event wouldn't be missed?

Have you picked up any poop at Section X since your rise to Emperor? :O

Unless Theron's going to come back and say "Hey Boss, I found you a Vaylin companion." he's dead.

Indeed!

Paul, if you want to murder everybody you won't have any NPC's left in your game.

My Еmperor did not touch those smelly piles. Never.
