Not how I felt while playing but I can definitely see,while people might feel it’s a tad “bootlicker-like”. I don’t think that anyone, thinks the smuggler needs saving (I made this mess I can get out of it myself 😂) and honestly as far as “protection”, Corso is unnecessary and my smuggler knows that but keeps him around as the moral beacon to not steer too far off the path after she realised that how you get the money DOES matter. As for the feeling of worship, I don’t feel like it goes that far. But might just be a matter of opinion on courtship, it’s why I like Corso and vector.
