Pet me.
Okay, cool, thanks. I think my next chapter when I meet Spotswoode from Team America and reunite with my Sith Warrior love interest for some heist, and I unsubscribed while they were working on that.

Question. I thought we were supposed to meet Skadge and I haven't heard anything about it. I kinda want to kill him already, he's an awful, stupid character.

About that: You do meet Skadge in the Rusk alliance alert and you do get the option to kill off either Skadge or Rusk. From what I've seen in SWTOR forums posts, I think Skadge is hitting a near 100% die off rate.

A shame. As comically evil and obnoxious as Skadge is, he's at least memorably so. Rusk is totally disposable in comparison.

You can also recruit them both and kill neither. The only thing you can't do is kill both of them.

I hadn't played through the JK storyline in a long time, so when I did it recently, I was shocked at what a dick Rusk was. He's really dedicated to throwing soldiers into meat grinders.

Are we completely sure he isn't killing all the others?

A bunch of them, depending on how picky you are.
  • T7
  • Vette
  • Bowdaar
  • Blizz
  • Corso
  • Kira
  • Elara Dorne
  • Yuun
  • Nadia Grell
  • Talos Drellik
  • Mako
  • Jaesa (LS)
  • Ashara counts, I think

I like Vector, but he can creep people out. Like, if you take the DS option on Alderaan, I believe the Kiliks force-join everybody in House Cortess.

Light Jaesa is still Jaesa, she's one stubbed toe away from hunting down all betrayers to her autistic rigid definition of The Light.

Kira wants to overthrow the government (not a bad idea tbf).

Vette is/has been a thief and pirate.

Nadia's father dropped the ball on making her realise how dangerous she is. Her part-time attitude to her training is going to end in tears.


Khem Val is absolutely a person. Vector isn't.

The thing about Kira is that if you look closely, she has much more in common with a light-side Sith Warrior than she does with the Jedi Knight. She thinks the Jedi should run everything because the Jedi are just better than everyone, has a [at times not-so-] subtle edge of being racist to non-Force-sensitives, and doesn't much care for the peace and harmony thing the Jedi are supposed to stand for.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
I kind of wish they added a toggle to companions - Tank/DPS/Heal or Classic. It's nice to have everyone able to heal, but with the simplification of the game having a Healing companion isn't as big a deal as it used to be. And the homogenization of companions means they mostly lost access to their unique abilities. I was thinking this the other day while using Blizz, and realizing how much I miss his Rocket Launcher attack. :( Same with Nadia and her force wave, as annoying as it was.

Actually I haven't checked, does Theran still use Holiday?

Answered my own question. Trucker Theran says "Yes, still in DPS and Heal stance"

She's a former Child of the Emperor, right? Makes sense to me. Hell, they should've given you an option to turn her back like Jaesa, at least then being a DS Jedi would feel halfway consequential.

Vector is actually very creepy if you go through enough dialog options with him asking more about the Kiliks and all that's involved with being a Joiner. I can't remember the particular conversation and which dialog options I picked, but Vector admits that that his body is laced through with Kilik larvae as part of his Joining. And since I've sat through all of David Cronenberg's early body horror stuff, that sort of thing was all I could think of when Vector talked so as far as any of my Agents being in a relationship with him...nope, nope, nooooope.

Tried the first Revan flashpoint as Imperial, got up to a big gun surrounded by Padawans to kill and couldn't go any further. I'm not a monster.

The Darth in charge making speeches about service to an institution greater than any individual just sounds daft coming from a Sith, to a Sith.

I just came back a few weeks ago after not playing since Hutt Cartel. I'd suggest resubbing to play through KotFE/ET if you need a Star Wars fix since that's pretty fun, but don't expect any new endgame stuff.

If you start a character at 60 or 65 with a level-up token, it assumes you finished your class story and puts you at the beginning of KOTFE and KOTET respectively. You can't go back and do the class quests.
