Star Wars: The Old Republic/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

== General ==

** For example, as a Republic player on Tatooine, one of the regional missions is to break up a slaving ring and free the slaves. After doing so, the freed slaves send a thank-you letter along with roughly 500 credits that they pooled together, saying that seeing you [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|mowing through the enemy]] to come to their rescue was the first time in a while that they'd dared to ''hope''.

* After doing the main quests on Tatooine (Republic side), a local named Galen Besk asks you to help a bit more (i.e. bonus quests). Despite just hanging around the entrance to the spaceport, he seems to know more about you than he should. When you finish the questline, you get a chance to ask him about how he knows.

* A retrospective one in the "Deceived" trailer: Master Zallow is shown to press a Twi'lek gunslinger against a stone pillar with the Force - only to be engaged by a visibly pissed-off Darth Malgus. We later find out in supplementary materials that the Twi'lek, Eleena Daru, was Malgus' ''wife''. That enraged attack on Master Zallow was essentially a successful attempt by Malgus to save the woman he loved.

* Any Romance arc for a companion, that first kiss and all the others after it are all heart-warmingly sweet, and shows how much the characters truly love each other.

* On Nar Shaddaa, {{spoiler|convincing Agent Galen to go on living even after he was forcibly turned into a Power Guard. It gets even better when he helps you bring down Lord Sadic.}}

* After Kira's past as a Sith comes to light, most Jedi tell her that it's not what she was, but what she chooses to make herself that matters. For example, her Jedi master:

'''Bela Kiwiiks:''' So much about you is now clear to me, Kira, but you're wrong about one thing. You are exactly who I think: a strong, capable young woman. One day, you'll be a great Jedi. }}

 

* The romance storyline with Vector Hyllus has several such moments. At one point, during a 'private moment' with the female agent, Vector represses the bond to his hive so that they can get some true alone time. Possibly made even more heartwarming if the agent chooses the "This isn't you" response, and accepts him as a Joiner.

** Later on, the female agent can suggest becoming a Joiner as well. Vector's reponse is beyond sweet.

* Vector really does have quite a few heartwarming lines in the romance storyline, in his own Killik-y way:

* Vector gets a lot of these, period. There's his friendship with Lokin, which has the two of them being so reassuringly ''normal'', which is a bit of a feat considering their respective natures. Nevertheless, they plan hiking trips and visits to the opera. At the end of their dialogue based mini-arc, Vector explains the nature of their friendship in a way that resonates with the themes of the Agent's story as a whole: No, he doesn't trust Lokin. Of course the good doctor always has an angle. But you don't have to trust someone to like them and be their friend.
