YES
Corruption done tastefully and with good pacing is so damn rare.
>the BBEG prioritizes the safety of their lover over furthering their ambitions, even working alongside the group for small windows until pushed into a corner to choose between the two and sorrowfully sacrificing the player, using that pain and loss to redouble their efforts towards the Grand Scheme (TM)
WOOOOOOOOO THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BABY
This is the exact plot of the SWTOR book “decieved”. The Sith Lords twilek gf is making him weak and he sacrifices a lot for her and his plans get fricked up when she gets kidnapped, and he does a bunch of shit to save her, and he realized he’s becoming soft and that she’s a major liability and weak spot in his armor, then in the end he ends up killing her because she was his only weakness, and that allows him to ascent to pure evil chad Sith Lord,
The SWTOR game has a great example of this in the male sith warrior story. You find a Jedi Padawan girl and corrupt her to the dark side over the course of the main story.
I don’t even like Star Wars anymore and haven’t played SWTOR in a decade, but it really just so happens to have the platonic ideal of both these stories lol
I still prefer the "light side" version where you expose her master and the Jedi for being corrupt hypocrites which makes them really mad.
In my 12 years of tabletop I have not once played or run a game where a player romanced an npc or another Player. And that includes games where players were husband and wife.
So what the hell kind of games are you playing? Do they have APCs? I bet APCs lead to romance.
>So what the hell kind of games are you playing?
The fun kind. Systems vary but romance remains.
>nogames post hypothetical scenarios that they imagine happening in their phantom campaigns they could have played with their fictional friends
THIS IS AWE-SOME
>the BBEG seduces a player
That shouldn't have any effect on his character.
>a player seduces the BBEG
This isn't possible, because le beebeg doesn't actually exist.
>The BBEG is so far above the hero that she doesn't consider him a threat in the slightest
>she makes no attempts to harm or kill him, she merely toys with him while he gives his all in every encounter
>she uses light teasing as a way of flirting and exposes that she's learning new things about him every day, the hero interprets it as vicious mocked and the BBEG closely monitoring him so she's always a step ahead
>eventually the situation has become unsustainable: the hero has become so strong that he could feasibly take down the BBEG in a moment of weakness
>on top of that it has finally gotten through the hero's thick, autistic skull that all the quips about his pretty face and chiseled body may not have been sarcastic
>both sides realize that a final decision needs to be made
>their final bout involves the two fighting to the death, unsure of whether their hearts are stronger than their values
I do actually really like the 2nd one a bit more than the first ('cause I like it when Evil is more sentimental, more self-involved, more selfish in a personable way. Good will sacrifice an individual to save the world, but Evil will sacrifice the world to save an individual- that kind of thing.)
But I'm also a big fan of:
>Good & Evil character fall in love with each other and end up "shaving off each other's edges". Evil character becomes less of an unhinged psycho, Good character becomes less of an insufferable moralist.
Only homosexuals say "BBEG".
OP doesn't give a shit about his own topic anyway.
Just another mindless post to make /tg/ appear more active than it really is.
What's wrong with activity?
Nothing is wrong with activity. It would be great if there were a bunch of creative people creating threads ripe with discussion and engagement.
The problem here is it only APPEARS to be active with these worthless threads with either false engagement or no engagement from the morons who have to post them just to meet a quota.
But creativity was ruled to be off-topic for /tg/ about eight years ago, so here we are in this modern, soulless hellscape.
Doesn't seem very conductive to a game
What does BBEG mean? Big Balled Engorged Groin? Or is it like BBC or BBW?
Big Bad Evil Guy, generally means the primary antagonist of the campaign represented as a singular figure, be it a big dragon or a cruel warlord, and usually is marked by reoccurring references or appearances throughout leading to the final confrontation. Many /tg/-ites get very offended at the term because they think their campaign structure is much more nuanced with its ideas to fall into such a trope (it isn't).
>a nogames imagines something he thinks might happen in a game and posts on /tg/ in a pathetic attempt to pretend he's part of the hobby
