Pryce posted:Yeah, that makes sense, since that space is doing a conversation check as well (on all your companions). Since the strongholds and ships are all grouped into a few common instances is there any chance of bleed over like there used to be (maybe still is) with other people opening packs and hearing random explosions on your ship? Or no because those copies of the companions aren't yours?

Agent has the best story, Knight has the most KOTOR3 story. Warrior is like if KOTOR3 was played from the Imperial side. Inquisitor is solid too.

queeb posted:hello goons! If one was looking to gently caress about in star wars times and play some good stories, what classes have the best ones to run through? Knight, Warrior, Inquisitor, Agent. Knight is a save the galaxy, fight the empire story. If you're looking for a very straightforward sequel to KOTOR, this is that. Warrior is a straightforward narrative about learning the true meaning of "might makes right." I'm not that fond of it but everyone else seems to be. Inquisitor is about being smarter than everyone. Agent is James Bond but in service of a somewhat more fascist empire. (It's also one of the two sleep-with-literally-everyone stories if you are into that.) Smuggler, Trooper, and Consular are okay. Smuggler is a collect the macguffins story that doesn't tie into anything else very well. It's the other storyline with all the [Flirt] options. Trooper is predictable hooah stuff. You've guessed the one single plot development before you leave the first planet. Consular is Knight lite. Same themes, similar characters, lower stakes. You start the story as a respected Jedi already, unlike the stories where level 1 means you're a green novice, so it's either completely unbelievable or very entertaining to play a consular who is just a huge rear end in a top hat. Bounty Hunter is a gd mess, and definitely the worst. You wander around and kill a bunch of zero-personality mooks on the orders of other zero-personality mooks, in order to win a literal game. It's building up to a "big twist" that makes no sense and doesn't at all work with the fact that this is shoehorned into a bad MMO.

queeb posted:do all the storylines converge into one eventually? Every vanilla planet (except Quesh) has both a class-specific storyline and a storyline for all characters of that faction. This is the vanilla leveling experience, up to Corellia. After Corellia, the class-specific storylines are over and there are just the planet-specific storylines, until KOTFT. (There's one single class-specific mission on Rishi.) From KOTFT onward, storylines aren't planet-based, but there are still no class-specific storylines any more.

queeb posted:do all the storylines converge into one eventually? Depends what you mean by storyline. The class stories are all generally pretty separate iirc, with only a scant amount of them referencing each other (knight and warrior of the only one I can think of off the top of my head). I’m not even sure if they all take place at the same time. Outside the class stories, there are faction-specific planetary quests, which all classes share, and then once you get past the end of the class stories, nothing is class-specific at all anymore (outside of some small negligible things) Agent is the best story because it is the tale of a mid-level government officer doing their best to serve an empire run by evil wizards who are more interested in stabbing each other in the back than working for a common interest. The keeper is the main character of that story as far as I’m concerned

Agent and Sith Warrior are by far the best overall stories. Sith Warrior also has the best version of KotFE and KotET, if you have those (anyone that says Knight is wrong, the Warrior has way more special dialogue and flows more logically, considering the nature of the storyline) The only actually BAD storyline is Trooper, really. Everything else is still good, it's just those two are head and shoulders above the rest. Even Trooper isn't straight terrible, it's just... ehhh?

Honestly, I find Inquisitor the worst story. I don't find the Inquisitor funny (tee hee look how wacky we are has never sat well with me), and if you try to play it straight the story is a long procession of deus ex machina, the Inquisitor being an idiot, and stuff just happening to you for no particular reason.

Aphrodite posted:The Sith Warrior is a bootlicker. Not when you play a Light Sided one. My guy was a badass who took no names, and you invariably cease to be a bootlicker (KotFE/ET)when you break with the Emperor and come to the realization that the entire reason he made you his Wrath and whatnot is because he's been slowly grooming you to be his replacement body for Valkorian. This is why Arcann and Vaylin hate you, because Valkorian cares more about you than either of them. It actually makes the KotFE/ET storyline a little more personal than just "stand by and watch this family disintegrate into poo poo" since you are directly personally involved and partially responsible for the situation.

Also light side warrior is the best because it makes the Jedi SO ANGRY. For a cult of fanatic stoics, they sure flip their poo poo every time you say "I'm not here to fight."

I liked Inquisitor since you started at the bottom as a slave and by the end you're on the Dark Council. But then I played light side so anyone pointing out this 'flaw' would get me flinging the Sith Code back at them.

I feel the Knight also works very well because it changes from "You were being groomed as a replacement body" to "you became the first equal he has had in centuries and he decided to scrap all his plans to make you his replacement" which IMO fits better with the speed the family fell apart.

So I started, playing Sniper to do the agent story. Lol im like level 10 after a few quests, looks like there's a double XP event on. I can walk into an area and suppressive fire and clear an entire area in a few clicks. It's dope.

Eh, the tension with Vaylin and Arcann I feel makes far more sense with SW specifically because it's been hanging over their heads for over a decade at that point. Also all the mindscape stuff and those conversations are REALLY specific when you're an SW and have several more lines than any other class. The specific dynamic of the two force masters you meet becomes directly reminiscent of the original trilogy when you're coming from the Imperial side, as well, which seems pretty intentional. Smuggler also doesn't matter, alignment wise. I mean ultimately, play what you want to make the story your own, but if you're coming in fresh and just want to get the "ideal experience" then you should probably just play the expansions as a Sith Warrior. And yeah, in general the best class stories are when you play as the alignment opposite your Faction, with the exception of Agent where you should ignore alignment entirely and just be as pragmatic as possible, which incidentally makes you stay almost perfectly neutral without outside bumps, which is also not an accident.

One of the best bits about playing an Inquisitor is all the times you get the excited "Oh boy!" dialogue option. One of the worst bits is that the Inquisitor never actually says "Oh boy!". Why must you torture me so, BioWare
