History Heartwarming / StarWarsTheOldRepublic

* Senya (if alive) trying one last time to reach her daughter while trapped in Satele's mindscape. She accepts the full blame of everything that happened to Vaylin, admitting that she should have fought harder to stop Valkorion from locking her away on Nathema and turning her into the TragicMonster she became. The player character can also apologize to Vaylin, saying they should have found a better way of dealing with her and expressing hope that their regrets can help her find some measure of peace. It says something that Vaylin looks briefly affected by their words.

* If alive and taken to Satele's ship, Arcann will reunite with the spirits of Thexan and Vaylin. The reunion with his sister goes as expected considering Vaylin's last moments, but the one with the twin he murdered manages to be both understated and sweet as Thexan shows Arcann forgiveness for what he did.

* Assuming he survived the events of Nathema, Satele Shan thanks the player character for giving Theron a home and the feeling of finally belonging somewhere that she herself was unable to provide for him. Non-romanced characters can tell her that he's a trusted friend, and romanced characters can assure her that they'll spend their lives making him happy, at which point [[WhenSheSmiles her expression softens.]]

--> '''Thexan''': We know, brother.
** There's also a short cutscene if you romanced him. He confides in you that he's afraid of facing Valkorion again and letting his negative emotions consume him. You can reassure him that you'll be there for him, which helps him immensely.
* Theron offering to go with you because despite how complicated their relationship is, Satele Shan is still his mother and he wants to help save her. And if you sided with the Empire on Iokath - which leads to Jace Malcom's death - he declares that he's not going to lose his remaining parent.

* After one has earned considerable affection from Mako, she can be pursued as a romance option and married. One such message from her reads "Did you know Czerka Corporation has wedding registries? Well, they do. It was kind of fun to set one up even though no one's going to get us anything on there. Well, almost no one. I saw the best set of shape-conforming blast armor on sale. I think it'll look good on you, so really it's a present for both of us. Love you, big guy."

** The heartwarming is ''very'' dimished when you factor in the following: [[spoiler: Eleena was Malgus's ''[[SexSlave slave]]'', and technically had no legal standing in the Empire, aside from being the [[AMatchMadeInStockholm favored property of her "husband"]], and unable to leave him. Malgus also beat her when he was displeased, and she had a bad case of StockholmSyndrome for him. And despite her [[HappinessInSlavery misguided devotion]] and [[MadLove their twisted "love"]] for each other, Malgus killed her because he realized both LoveIsAWeakness and one [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies that other Sith would gladly exploit]].]]

'''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.

* Feylara is a former lover of your archenemy Skavak and is going to such crazy lengths to impress him. However, after her plan to kill you fails and her former lover abandons her, she suffers a VillainousBreakdown and is crying in front of you. Feylara is such a [[TheDitz Ditz]] that the reason said plan failed is because she doesn't have a lot of common sense and didn't think too far ahead, so it's safe to say that she has the [[{{Womanchild}} mentality of a child]]. So you have a woman, no more mature than, say, a young teenager, crying in front of you because she has been abandoned by the man she thought she loved. [[VideoGameCaringPotential It's pretty heartwarming to see that the lightside option is to forgive and spare her while also encouraging her to find a new man]].

* After almost five years real time, [[TheBusCameBack Kira and Scourge return.]] Reuniting with Kira is certainly a great moment for anyone who romanced her. In Scourge's case, he's grown to care for the Jedi Knight's crew and whether you go romantic or platonic, it's clear he's come a long way from the remorseless Sith who betrayed Revan and murdered the Exile.

* 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.

* On Coruscant, one can overhear a bounty hunter talking to a client. The bounty hunter is trying to convince the client to not order the murder of a victim. If you listen to the entire conversation, the victim turns out to be the client's wife, and the client admits that he's overreacting. The hunter presumably gave up a potentially valuable and certainly easy contract because he recognized that the client was not in a good place mentally.

* Andronikos Revel's romance with a Female Sith Inquisitor has its own share of heartwarming moments; particularly because he spends so much time trying to establish himself as the most ruthless, heartless, badass criminal to ever life... only to turn into a sweet, doting, fawning boyfriend around the female Inquisitor.

* An Inquisitor can have one with ''Darth Thanaton,'' the BigBad of his/her storyline, of all people. Before the duel at the end of the Kaggath, Thanaton will recite part of the Sith Code. One option is a ShutUpHannibal, where the inquisitor tells him flat out he/she is going enjoy killing him. The others, however, are much less aggressive. One option is to finish the code, prompting him to say, in a voice tinged with regret, "I wish it hadn't come to this." The other has the inquisitor acknowledge him as a WorthyOpponent, and has the ''inquisitor'' comment he/she is sorry it has to end this way, to which Thanaton replies, regretfully, "as am I." After coming so far and fighting so often, the two can actually have a form of mutual admiration, which, among Sith, says a lot.[[/folder]]

* Another one with some FridgeBrilliance and another side of TearJerker: Senator [[spoiler: Grell's will]] is read, and there is a last-minute addition; the [[spoiler: LastRequest]] to have your Consular train [[spoiler: Nadia]]. Seeing as this guy [[spoiler: was so determined to get help for his Force-Sensitive daughter]] that he was willing to dedicate his life to getting his people and their allies into the Republic, the fact he trusts ''you'' to take care of [[spoiler: his daughter]] is humbling indeed.

* At the end of the regular storyline, the cutscene shows you the interior of your ship. You can see Blitzz and Skadge talking to each other. It is only an instant, but surprisingly touching, considering Blitzz's initial reaction to Skadge and Skadge's general contempt for anyone smaller and weaker.
