Romance possible with other npc than Bastila?

[byf43]

Hey, I've been away from this forum and Kotor for a looong time So please excuse me if I ask for something that's already been up.

Basically I'd like to play through Kotor again. Playing as a male will I be able to go into a romance with other npcs than Bastila? I remember having conversation options that made it seem possible. However at the time I wanted Bastila so I didn't pay attention. Thanks in advance for any advice

Without mods, no. The option to romance Juhani was removed by BioWare prior to the final version of the game.

Ok thanks for the help.

Can I sneek in an additional question? What about Kotor 2? Who can I romance there? I remember trying with Mira (and doing well) but suddenly she got stuck in the same reply every time I tried. Who can be romanced?

I'd like to explore this when playing through a second time.

As a female, you can romance Disciple and I *think* somewhat with Atton, though I might be mistaken about that. As a male, you can romance the Handmaiden and sort of Visas. You can try to pursue it with Mira, but she'll have none of it.

Romances in the second game are a little different, in that they're more unspoken and not really clearly defined. You don't really get anything like Bioware romances in their games; the writer for KotOR 2, Chris Avellone, has admitted that he just doesn't like writing 'traditional' romances like Bioware does.

Nightmare has got it spot on.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. Hmm Chris Avellone...didn't I see his name in Fallout 2 when a raider shot at me? Didn't know he also did Kotor.

He didn't. He was the lead designer for KotoR 2. They were made by entirely different companies.

But Avellone is probably best known for what some people (including myself) consider the best RPG ever made, Planescape: Torment.

Hmm Planescape: Torment. Never heard of that, will look into that. Thanks for the info.
