Seeing people to this day get annoyed about Corso like getting jealous on Voss or whatever but then the thing they’re annoyed about is Corso’s character and how he’s acting like the Smuggler owes him something even on playthroughs where the Smuggler rejects him.

And I feel it’s worth clarifying something about the swtor romances for anyone who doesn’t know. Obviously you’re allowed to dislike Corso if you want. But this behaviour from Corso is a problem with all of the origin game romances. All of the romancable companions in the origin games assume you’re romancing them in every conversation and every planetside cutscene, even if you’ve only ever rejected them. This is an issue with the game’s code - I can’t even say it’s a bug because it’s just sloppy and lazy coding. Explanation below the cut for why the game pseudo-forces you into the romances.

The reason for this is that in the game code there is no flag for romance - no specific variable tracking whether or not you’ve started/ended a romance. What does happen is that each romantic conversation requires a certain amount of influence gained with the companion, staggered higher as you progress through the game.

It used to be that when the game first came out, conversation options that the companions disapproved of (such as rejecting them or breaking up with them) lost you influence points, while naturally you gained a significant amount of influence points from playing through the romances. And so the only way to have enough influence points to trigger proposals, sidebar jealousy remarks from Corso or Vector on Voss, etc was if you’d actively chosen romantic dialogue options (or if you’d spent a ton of money on companion gifts specifically for the purpose of unlocking those conversations).

Now, however, things are done differently! I believe this change was implemented around the time of the first expansion stories, but I might be off by a couple years. The influence requirement in order to unlock romantic dialogue has not changed at all - but now conversation options that trigger companion disapproval actually gain you influence points, but only 50 compared to the 200 you gain from approval options. Oddly enough, you still get 0 from totally neutral options, so straight up disapproval earns you more influence points than polite neutrality. Which means that every time you reject a romance option, you gain influence points. But since they didn’t change the romance trigger, that means you’ll always have enough influence points for the game to assume you’ve been romancing the character. Which means that the game virtually always assumes that you’re romancing every possible companion, even if you’ve rejected them and treated them terribly.

If you want to say Doc’s character is pushy because when you reject him his reaction is to try and convince you that otherwise, or that you personally don’t vibe with how Corso or Jaesa handles their jealousy, that’s fair enough! But it’s not really fair to say that any character is pushy because they proposed or asked to have kids even though the last time you spoke to them you rejected or dumped them - that’s not the fault of the character, that’s a fault in the gameplay itself. If you wanna be annoyed about a character or critique misogynistic writing, go for it, but let’s make sure we’re doing it for the right reasons.

thinking about how the swtor dialogue trees are organised so that if i want to read straight through the origin romances i can do that and only miss out on potential comments different companions might chime in with during the story. but like i cannot do that for theron/lana/koth/arcann because their conversations are just absolutely all over the place in the different expansions. insanely annoying

Ngl I've had this meme in mind since I started playing this character and romance, and I'm absolutely thrilled that @o0klaudieneu0o brought it to life for me!

In Bioware's SWTOR / Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, Corso Riggs, the companion character for the Smuggler Class Story, will become jealous of female Smugglers who decide to flirt with male NPCs in the game.

[aeskanera]

it’s missing swtor time…five years since they gave us a single zenith flirt option and still no romance…in fact there’s even less companion romance than there’s ever been (with the exception of lana and a few date nights)

Second attempt at a new approach to things. I don’t think I like it. =T 

In any case, ahhh… Kira Carsen, the Queen of my Heart. uwu

Was never especially a star wars fan but I did have a big phase with the Old Republic game when I was younger and I absolutely loved the Twi'leks. (I remember being so disappointed I couldn't romance any Twi'leks as a fem player, or romance women in general </3 thankfully I had Aric Jorgan at least<3)
