bc_camillus Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi folks, so basically I did the mission where you meet Vette's sister and she calls her by her birth name (Ce'na), but I foolishly selected the first option and now I regret my decision. My question is - will there be another occasion where my character learns of her birth name? I know this might seem trivial, however even though I am not romancing with her, I feel like it's a crucial moment in the relationship. Thanks!

MadDutchman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 wasn't aware there was an option in the convo that prevented you from learning her real name. And no, there are no further times that I'm aware of, and you continue to know her by Vette regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomagnus Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 And no, there are no further times that I'm aware of, and you continue to know her by Vette regardless. Which, for Romanced!Vette, is really a missed opportunity when you think about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Which, for Romanced!Vette, is really a missed opportunity when you think about it... Presumably an opportunity for Vette to give the Warrior an epic earful, seeing as how she seems to prefer being called Vette by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithKoriandr Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I just want to know why Vette wouldn't be a real name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I just want to know why Vette wouldn't be a real name? It might be, but the thread is about her *birth* name, Ce'na, which is, indeed, learned during one of the companion-conversation external missions. And the source of this information mentions it in a way that suggests ... doubt, let's say, about the legal nature of "Vette" as her name. "Vette? Is that what you're calling yourself now?"

turbomagnus Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 What I wonder about when I think about it is what the rest of Vette's birth name might be if SWTOR follows the old Legends/EU pattern of Twi'lek names and how they're broken up having meaning. * * X-WIng novel series, "The Bacta War", for example, a Twi'lek tells Wedge that Wedge'antilles has a negative connotation in the Twi'lek language and ends up turning him into Wedgean'tilles. I think it was also mentioned that Bib Fortuna was originally Bibfort'una until the Una clan cast him out for selling his fellow Twi'leks as slaves, but I'm not certain.

Yes, but she also replies in such a way that says "How would Vette be a real name?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Yes, but she also replies in such a way that says "How would Vette be a real name?" Fair point, although she probably means "a real name for a Twi'lek", i.e. how can a one-word, one-syllable name be a proper name for a Twi'lek, who have a cultural pattern of two-part names? Of course, there's an obvious weakness in this analysis, since, well, planets is big, with plenty of room for different naming conventions. Just look at our own Earth, and consider how much variety of naming patterns we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
