Well, from the comics, novel he is very flexible and agile if only they didn't forget that part for the game version

Swtor didn't forget, it's just that Boyd made the decision to kill off pretty much every class companion (even some non-class companion ones) except the Knights, so effectively most of the class companions are now bricked and will never be used much in the story. Blame Boyd, and also all the people who kept whining for character deaths, instead of simply not using the companions they hated so much, now more than half (nearly all) of the companions can't be used, and now we're stuck with companion list full of bricks. DS players fault. Players opened this can of worms when they started complaining about not being able to kill certain companions after Bioware already took away that ability from the original beta and for good reason it turns out. And once they started complaining about the one, it opened the door for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Funny how that works, last time I was invested in this game a couple years back. The complaints were the exact opposite, and everyone was FOR companions being killable. Now I come back to the game years later in the midst of the wasteland left, with almost all of the companions being bricked. Now there's a different climate and tune in the fandom altogether. Careful what you wish for.

There is a slight bit of homophobia there as well. I've noticed that anytime someone especially a male brings up the male bi romances in chat, as in the actual non-meme romances, Hetero males will always manage to throw Khem into the conversation and go on about how sexually attracted they are to him as a way of mocking people. Certain Heterosexual men seem to not be ok with male x male convos being brought up, until it's a mock romance with a monster they can use to poke fun with. They know they won't actually romance Khem over their waifus, but they enjoy using Khem to shutdown any lgbt conversation. Surprisingly, for a company known for it's inclusion, there are a lot of toxic people like that in this game. I once saw someone say Theron being a romance option for non-heterosexual people ruined the character for him lmao.

I'm pretty sure he can get drunk. Not like he's completely a cyborg. Don't think none of the implants in his left eye prevent him from getting drunk

That would be funny, though Theron's a little too stoic to break out in song lmao. We can barely get him to smile. Him and Lord Scourge be the grump bois lmao

That's true, i've noticed that. Theron always seems to have a lot more animations in his eyes and face and head movements than the other companions. It's even noticeable in the Echoes of oblivion scenes where he is constantly animated while the PC is talking and most of the other npcs just turn their heads at whoever is talking with a blank stare lmao

That's because on Pubside, it's already established that Theron likes you, before Yavin you had already spent a lot of time together in other scenes, there's nothing for him to be awkward, dodgy or hesistant about on pubside. You get more intimate scenes and kisses with him on Pub. So you already know he cares. You can even offer Theron to join your crew on pubside, only for him to turn it down because he wants to stick it out with SIS before once again kissing the PC and promising never to make the mistake of not calling them right away again. On Pubside, it's never outright stated, but the PC/Theron are definately a "thing", on Impside it's more like a fling. But that's not what i'm saying. In SoR, it made sense for one side to have more content. As Lana was Impside and Theron was the pubside character, but now they no longer operate like that, so he should have equal screentime pub/imp side.

lol anyway. We need to keep pressuring Bioware to make Theron equal on both sides as Lana is. Theron needs as many scenes/screentime on Pubside as he does on Imp. It's insane that a pub character has more screentime with imps in Onslaught than he does with Pubs. But as someone else suggested it's probably because they want to promote Tau and Arn so they take up a lot of pub screentime, but still.

Not sure I agree. Marr was great, but ultimately he served his purpose. He gave some speeches, had a few monologues. Short and sweet. Honestly being a companion probably would have lessened him.

I never got the excuse of "I can't like this character because they're pub or imp", what does them being pub or imp change about them literally being one of your closest friends? You can like characters from the opposite side. I mostly play Pub, but I still like Marr.

/bootleg theron Give us the real one!

Theron Shan is high key a hero. Not only because of the things he has done in the Novel/Comics. IE: Getting the ascendant spear destroyed. A superweapon powerful enough to wipe out entire republic fleet ships and turn the tide of every battle. But even in Nathema, imagine a Darkside commander having access to something as powerful as the fleet or Gravestone. A mega threat to everyone in the galaxy right? No one group of people should have that kind of power over people especially not someone evil. If you're playing a hardcore DS character Theron kinda saves everyone twice. Of course saving you from Zildrog Order's shenanigans, but also low key indirectly making it so that a DS commander is humbled and slightly depowered lmao. Pretty ****** when you think about it.

Problem is, the writers killed off too many legacy characters too soon. You look at characters like Malcom, or Gnost they had a lot of history of content in the books some comics even. All to be wasted in one expansion, some in the dumbest of ways. The writers have wasted just about all the legacy characters within the swtor universe. Satele is just about one of the few still remaining. Where we should have had tons of legacy characters being developed in the story simultaneously throughout, the devs just decided to throw most of them away and place all their bets on Lana. Which would not be so much a problem IF she was as entertaining and developed to warrant the focus. But she isn't, infact as other's have stated she arguably has the least attachments or connections to the other characters in the swtor universe besides the PC himself/herself.

Seems like it's time for me to pick up and finish his book since everyone says it's good Sure, but i'm talking about before, plus the decisions after. Lana would never act that way towards Theron, infact SHE being both pragmatic and close to Theron should have known things didn't appear as they were, she should have been the voice of reason to a commander not Arcann

^ Edgelords gonna edgelord. But on a positive note, and a reason for why you shouldn't care what a minority of edgelords think. https://i.imgur.com/L8PMj80.png Theron always wins on all the polls
