Ginny Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) I decided to dust off my TSL game and play through for a second time--it has been ages since I finished. I realize that the developers were forced to rush and so a great deal of the romance material was cut. Still, I would like to know which NPC has the most elaborate dialog options and most developed romance before I play through again. Usually, I play female characters because I am female and have never wanted to play a sweaty male; but if that is what is necessary to get my romantic story fix, then so be it. My first play through was female Lightside and I tried everything to catch Atton's eye (and I do mean everything--it was humiliating and I am told that as a result I cannot run for office). Nothing worked. Influence, throwing myself at him, endless games of pazaak, asking him back to my quarters for 'coffee,' walking into the engineroom wearing a washcloth: ooopsy, I thought this was the shower. Nothing. A friend told me that Visas tells you she loves you, but says little more than, 'my life for yours' for 90% of the game. Let me know if anyone has any advice on which is the most elaborate (by TSL standards) dialog and romance. Thank you! How about Handmaiden? Bao isn't developed I do not think. Anyway...

Cassidy Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 The only 5 people that I can think of with any hint of romantic content are Handmaiden/Brianna, Visas, Mira, Disciple/Mical, and Atton. I must confess that I haven't played very many females in TSL and have little expereience with Disciple and Atton's romance paths. All the main romance content was cut so you really aren't going to get what you want. If you want to follow a full romance you should play K1. If you are intent to go through TSL again I suggest going for Handmaiden. The sparring sessions with her are a form of echani flirting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellypie Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Of all the characters Bao-Dur was the one I wanted to get places with. But noooo. They couldn't do that. Anyway, I think Handmaiden has the best romance of all the characters, even though I don't like Handmaiden (too childish for my tastes, same goes for Atton). "They might not call you a Jedi anymore, but believe me, you are. It's not the sort of thing that you just stop being. You're stuck with it, just like you're stuck being the General." ~Bao-Dur, Knights of the Old Republic: The Sith Lords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) I like what Disciple (prolly Handmaiden too, certain events are somewhat dialogue-duplicated) says before you go off by yourself. Not romantic persay, but certainly gives you the impression he cares more than he's saying. But yeah, the game at most gives you a few hints drowned in melodrama-dialogue - nothing that will even remotely satisfy a desire for character-romance. Any romance has to be a product of self-imagination. *cough* Edited December 25, 2005 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

DAWUSS Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Yeah, all they seem to mention is that they're interested in you and then that's about it. The romance goes nowhere DAWUSS Dawes ain't too bright.

Gabrielle Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 It's insulting that they are called romances when they aren't really. It more or less a get to know you type thing. K1 did a better job of it but still far from the mark. They need to go back and look at BG2 for a successful romance formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 And how did BG2 do it? I never got far in that game. I didn't much care for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haitoku Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) It actually let you choose someone. EDIT - I didn't like the game much myself, but you cannot deny the kind of freedom you got. Edited December 26, 2005 by Haitoku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Jedi Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 The best thing that comes from the romances in the game(or at least in their cuurent state) is the line "HK, what is love?"

Ginny Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thank you so much for the replies. Truly, it is rather disheartening to hear that there is little to no romance in TSL. Shame! I am easy to please too! So Obsidian and the LA Sith would not have had to put much work into it. For example, Carth was a lovely romance to me and there was not a huge amount of dialog attached to that storyline. Really though, Carth is more of a man of actions. If I were Revan, I would be barefoot and pregnant with his 11th child by now... Swoon. Disciple, however, is completely unappealing to me. Forgive me if some of you all see him as a romantic hero. To me, and please do not get upset, Disciple was more like Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter than Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy! Now there is a man for you. Anyway, thank you again for the responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAWUSS Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 ... and the thing is, if there was a little moment called a "sex scene", it would have been enough to have been a romance for some people...

jedidotflow Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 well, Visas has some sort of "force sex" or something with me near the end of the game... that was random... anyways, can I go for Mira?

TelannaTani Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Yeah, I'm glad I read this post, as I was sorely disappointed with the lack of character development in this area. I have to say I am an Atton fan. While Disciple was certainly fair to look at, I got to him late in the game and he was a bit to much pretty-boy for me. I really thought the Atton/Exile was a great match as they both had come to be redeemed from the brink of death and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
