![]() ![]() Smugglers and Imperial Agents will probably run into these opportunities a bit more, as they seem to have a knack for flirting with the opposite (or perhaps even same) sex at every chance they get. However, I do feel confident in saying that if you’re expecting to play out some crazy erotic Star Wars fanfic In The Old Republic I’m sorry to have to crush your crazy dreams here.Īlso, similar to a few other BioWare RPGs, you’ll be able to engage in a romantic relationship with several characters at once, though your lovers may not be too happy with you if they find out. I’m not sure if that simply means we won’t see situations such as the possibility for a threesome (a’la Dragon Age), or if the types of scenes and content will simply be a bit toned down. Romances will also be a bit more PG or PG-13 in Star Wars: The Old Republic. If you’re not the lovey dovey type, you need not fret. So, what do we know about romances in The Old Republic so far? Well, for one, like many of BioWare’s previous games, being involved in a romantic relationship with your companion is totally optional. Of course, the more recent Dragon Age and Mass Effect series took companion romances to a number of different levels. Later, the original Knights of the Old Republic game allowed for players to romance their companion characters, and these romances added a gratifying extra layer of depth to Revan’s struggle between walking the Dark or Light sides of The Force. While this would initially come across as a given when taking into account BioWare’s history of allowing for this in their games, I’d say it’s probably a first for the MMOG genre and that is certainly worth considering a bit deeper.īioWare games have featured romances going as far back as Baldur’s Gate II, where the player can romance (and even impregnate) the character Aerie or influence the alignment of Viconia through romance dialogues. Unsurprisingly then, it’s been confirmed for some time now that players would be able to romance their companions in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Harrison Ford (as Han Solo) famously ad-libbed the lines “I know” in response to Leia’s “I love you” before being encased in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back, Anakin’s love (and subsequent fear of loss) for Padme served as a catalyst for his eventual fall to the Dark Side in the prequel trilogy, the Expanded Universe books and comics are replete with romances, and of course, the Knights of the Old Republic series also allows players to romance their companions. Love has always been a crucial part of the Star Wars mythos.
