History Heartwarming / StarWarsTheOldRepublic

** Particularly if Male Warriors who turn down the flirt option with Taunt, get the option to hint at their attraction to Vette, which Taunt immediately picks up on, unlike Vette who remains entirely clueless throughout the exchange.

* On Hutta, one of your bounty runs is to capture a Republic scientist that your rival kidnapped in order to lure that rival into a trap. Well, you manage to nab your quarry and lie in ambush for the goon. After killing your rival to get the token you need to join the hunt, the scientist is scared out of her mind. she ''does'' have a price on her head, after all. Choosing to let her go, Mako hands the lady a holdout blaster and gives her directions on the safest way to the spaceport. Seeing as you and Mako barely have two credits to rub together at this point, it's an HonorBeforeReason gesture, but the scientist sends back a letter of gratitude with some credits, relieved that there is ''some'' shred of decency left in a WretchedHive like Hutta. This Hunter has been a light-sided, closeted Republic supporter since.

* After [[spoiler:Lord Zash [[BodySurf takes over Khem's body]] when he interrupts her ritual at the end of chapter 1]], one of your dialogue options is "Go away and give me Khem back." [[RelationshipValues (Khem approves +120)]].

* At the end of the "Hope" trailer, Jace Malcom sombrely stares at his many fallen comrades, Shatile standing behind him. His narration states that even with great losses, "[[YouAreNotAlone we are not alone]]." He fires a single flare into the air, which are followed by many more throughout the forest. From space, flare light dot the planet, in full view of the incoming Republic fleet. "Not alone" indeed.

* One of the Republic quests in Corellia's Axial Park has you killing Mandalorians. Standard stuff, except the quest is called "Morale Boost" because the Mandos disabled a series of holostatue when they set up shop. The bonus part of the quest requires turning the statues back on and "give the people their heroes back". The statues are of the crew from the first [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic KotOR]] game, including [[spoiler:Revan]]. Three hundred years later, and people still remember them.

* Risha friendship moment with the Captain.Where she says that she would be willing to built a wing in her castle just for the captain visit her, perhaps with even a port where the Smuggler could dock the ship.

* At one point early on in the story, another Bounty Hunter will ask if your partner, Mako, is your little sister, and then say that she at least can't hold a real man's attention. One response is to say that Mako is the only person in the galaxy you care about, rendering Mako speechless.

* One with a side order of TearJerker: Running the Black Talon, your Imperial crew is trying to hunt down a defector. There's this Padawan that ''can't'' be older than about 16, trying to get the injured old man to safety. When the party closes in, the kid makes a futile LastStand against your party just to try and buy the old man a little extra time. Even from the short exchange, you can tell she and the old man are fond of one another. The kid's sheer guts and determination nearly made me quit playing [[BeingEvilSucks Imperials altogether out of disgust.]]

* One with a side order of TearJerker: When Gaden-Ko, the young Voss Mystic you escort, is having his final test, he is given a vision of his dead grandfather (who died with the ''rest'' of Gaden-Ko's family in a Sith ambush). Gaden-Ko rejects the FinalTemptation the grandfather offers and has his first true vision, with Grandpa's spirit staying just long enough to say [[SoProudOfYou that his family is proud of him for finally becoming a true Mystic]].

* If you pick the right dialogue option when facing Overseer Harkun on Korriban after passing your trials and being made an apprentice, the Inquisitor will genuinely thank him, pointing out that the adversity and struggle the Overseer put in his way allowed him to grow strong and taught him a great deal. The Overseer is so shocked and touched that he actually calls you "apprentice" instead of "slave" for the first time.

* One more for the Killik that requires [[AllThereInTheManual a bit of knowledge of the setting]]. See Vector's assurance that "We will remember them always." above? That's literal truth: the Nest remembers everything that has ever happened to any of its members. By the time Alderaan was blown up in ANH, the Killik were a distant legend on the planet--they had left a long time ago. So assuming the descendants of Vector's nest are still around somewhere in the galaxy, there really ''are'' people who can remember the Agent and their crew, three thousand years later.

* Tharan Cedrax's decision to [[spoiler: sacrifice his chance at eternal scientific fame to upgrade Holiday.]]
