Star Wars: The Old Republic Discussion

Totally understand this. My favourite characters to play are my lightside bounty hunter and smuggler, and my neutral-ish imperial agent. So luckily, KOTFE works fine in most of their cases, there's nothing really I feel railroaded into. (Apart from the fact the story is catered towards force users, but that's another argument).

On the other hand, my sith inquisitor is 100% dark side, like yours. Basically a no-holds-barred, be as evil as you can kind of playthrough. And that's when KOTFE starts to fall apart a bit. I don't know why Theron is still around and hasn't walked out. I was railroaded into helping Jorgan, which every other character was happy to do but not my inquisitor, yet she was still forced into it. And of course, the final choice makes no difference. 

As I said, since I normally play light side it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others, but I totally understand why players who enjoy dark side characters would be very disappointed.

What annoys me a little is that I can't side with the Emperor on Ziost, even when I'm his Wrath. Or on the Dark Council.

But then again... the Emperor you interact with on Ziost seems to have a completely different personality than Valkorion. Plus all the other stuff about the Voice, the Children etc don't exactly add up. I'm curious how they'll resolve this.


Btw... about Vaylin and the new trailer... things don't add up there either. Senya said Vaylin was so strong in the force that she already affected her environment (I think it was about crushing droids?) when she was still in the womb. Vaylin was mostly depowered for her entire life until Valkorion died... which is not what the trailer showed us.

I am wondering if it will be worth my while to pick a sub for a month around Christmas and catch up on the story. I gave up on it after the first KOFTE spell, because I got so bored with it. The last thing I really liked in SWTOR was Rishi and Ravagers Op. I hoped they would develop something like Rishi but apparently it was just a way to say good-buy and move on.

I find a lot of SWTOR stories became interesting when I play with a set purpose rather than purely aligned to LS or DS, and sometimes it open up dialogues and scenes.

For my main Wrath, she started out as neutral before she went dark as Baras's apprentice (I love Tatooine arc where you get to kill the light side in you) then she faced a crisis of faith where she can't seem to trust people around her, she went on a brief revenge path before slowly finding her sense of purpose; the Empire and its people (surprisingly LS) and she became somewhat centered. She's also deeply suspicious of the Hand and didn't care much about the politics of Dark Council and pretty much busy being the Empire's Wrath. She remembered Vitiate promise to kill her (she find pleasure at doing exact opposite of what he wanted from her) and she could fully never trust Valkorian and only use his powers out of desperation but she won't self-sabotage herself or ignore her code (being honorable surprised some Jedi too). She's somewhat a necessary evil creature, not self-righteous, cruel, ruthless but calculating and at times, filled with empathy. She always try to think one step ahead of her enemy and people respected her for it and through that she inspired loyalty.

I'm particularly excited by some of the stuff I found in datamined 5.0
I did chapter 1-9 on my DvL Hatred Assassin. Playing him purely as a DS Sith blinded by power and he does make Valkorion happy. I was surprised that Lana pop up to save him from Arcann but Koth hated him completely. Poor thing. He like my Wrath better.

Trying to do hidden achievements for some of alliance alert characters. Rejected Xalek, although I miss him now. Was surprised that I couldn't reject Talos, so I just pick him up. Got Khem back via Terminal. Did Eternal Championship with two other girls in my guild. Still need to solo EC before 5.0; raise Lana to rank 50, rip 220 mods from my mains.

He gave her a sweet letter though.

I really like Quinn actually. Whenever he says "My lord" its like he's saying "As you wish" (Princess Bride!!!). They're cute together, his deal with that crazy Moff is still the funniest thing among all companion class story... they got married before the whole Baras thing and it really broke Lady Wrath's heart.

I've been enjoying Lana's romance although somewhat disappointed that it's another cutesy thing. But it was funny that Koth hovered when they're having a moment in gravestone.

Ahhh! I love that so much!

Yes, OG is gonna hang with us.  If any of the rest of you want to join up just give a shout out.

I'm pretty excited for the new stuff, I spoiled myself and read all the stuff and most of it is pretty cool.  My only worry is when will the rest of our original companions return and I am so focused on that sometimes I get myself really worked up over it   But honestly, my IA misses Vector so much.  I am so far behind on her because not having him with her just makes playing her very sad for me. 

I really liked playing KotET with my Jedi Battlemaster (JK- my main character). The story made so much sense with him. Also liked the cutscenes, the lightsaber and space battle scenes are a lot better than previous expansions and original game. Really liked the agressive choice my Knight had during the last fight against Arcann. 

By the way,

I love Bioware elevator jokes
