Topaz Quasar Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 I think the KOTOR 1 romances kinda sucked. With Carth you just made strange jokes and then he made a promise to you (it was funny though), and with Bastila you just say nice and occasionally flirtatious things to you and she kisses you (and shortly thereafter says she never wants to talk about it again; at least not until malak's dead). Anyone else unsatisfied with that part of the game? Perhaps, but it would be very inappropriate for Star Wars for the fulfillment many players probably would want..........and I don't just mean an actual on-screen kiss.

They can have satisfying dialogue or at most implications without going ...dirty... I think that maybe a BG style romance (haven't done it myself as I got bored with that game but I heard about it) might be better. Yah, a dark side temptress would be awesome.

nightcleaver Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 To quote myself from another thread: "I'm looking forward to seeing who Atris really is. I guess we can all assume she's the "princess," whether more like Bastila or Leia or something totally different. Hopefully something totally different - but the game still needs a princess of some sort to woo I'm surprised no one's ever mentioned the possibility of fighting over one NPC with another for romance purposes. Ahh, the glory that is making an ass of yourself. It would be fun - they should have it in the game. " Mind that last paragraph. We NEED that feature. I mean, hey, any game has you being fought over (most obnoxiously) why not get the player to do the fighting? Of course, they wouldn't have to fight, and preferrably they'd drop it with you after a couple times you showed you didn't want to even bother.

EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 In FFX, you fight for a romatic interest. That's always a good plan. I played a new game with a female character in KOTOR, and so far the relationship with Carth is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't she be the "queen" like Amidala? As for your other part, it would be new and original to have a Jedi love triangle as a plot device.

EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I think the "pricess" is more of a generic term for the plot role many women fit into. However, over the past decade we've seen fewer women that need rescuing, and more strong female characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Martin Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I would like to see a romance develop between two of your NPCs. I can see Atton and Mira as a bit of a couple. It would be great character interaction and make many situations more tense and realistic when they are both involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I say, make it a 10 NPC love-fest, droids included. In all actuality, we don't know much of anything about the NPCs yet. I want to be surprised by the interactions I discover along with way. I'm content to wait until the game is in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Leia hardly ever needed rescuing - in fact, Han was rescued by Leia. I was just talking about personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 It was give and take. She was locked away in a detention cell awaiting execution, and then she saved Han from a similiar fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightcleaver Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yeah, but the point still is that "princess" meant something else (I put that in an odd way - I need sleep). In the star wars universe, woman aren't screechy and useless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Skin Mask Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Han also saved Leia on Hoth as he uttered the words "I will get her out on the Falcon." He also saved Luke and the rebelion which includes Leia when he got Vader off Luke's tail. He then did all of the above again in ROTJ when he covers a wounded Leia at the shield generator and later blows the thing up allowing the Republic fleet to enter the second Death Star. Cheers!

EnderAndrew Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I the definition of the Princess has become more and more of a sidekick. We see Padme pick up a Blaster and start shooting. No doubt more anyone would do as such to defend themselves given the circumstances, but she seemed quite adept at handling that blaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the star wars universe, woman aren't screechy and useless... I agree Princess Leia wasn't useless but you said she wasn't screechy which I disagree with. She was very stuck up and screechy as you put it until the end of ESB. I have to admit she did add some comic relief with her stuck up royal attitude especailly when she said to Han "Can somebody get this walking carpet out of my way?" Classic.

Drakron Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 "Princess" significance is still the same of medevil literature, Arwen in LotR (books, not the god damn movies) is a example of that role. Leia is not exactly a ~"princess" on those terms and that is why Leia got pissed every time Han called her a princess since he was using the word as in the sense of being a "Arwen" figure.

Colrom Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I agree with Adrea. What matters is the quality of the experience - of the relationships. Non romantic relationships are also important - especially relationships with mentors and sidekicks. [] As dark is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of good. If you would destroy evil, do good. Evil cannot be perfected. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iolo Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Romances are an overrated annoyance. I'd rather see them improve the game in other ways than add pathetic romances with dialogue choices I wouldn't have used anyway. That said multiple choices including same sex would be the way to go. If they are going to do it anyway, don't do it half assed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karzak Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 That said multiple choices including same sex would be the way to go. If they are going to do it anyway, don't do it half assed. Which is why a choice for the dark siders to rape and subjugate someone using jedi mind powers as a romance option should be included.
