Welcome to what is arguably the best story in the game, next to the Imperial Agent. The end of Act one is downright sedate compared to what you've got in store, so strap in and enjoy the ride!

I always thought the inquisitor wasn't a stand out story by itself but stood out because it twists a very old classic into a hilarious place. At least Act 1 anyway.

You're the chosen one by blood (The King) who's a slave (who's a farmhand). You are saved by a Sith Lord (A Wizard) who takes you on a journey to the grand throne world of your people (the kingdom's castle), to gather artefacts while learning your powers (that one's pretty on target!) while working alongside a powerful ally who's actually a monster! (the king's champion with a dark past)

You're the original rags to riches heroic story, completely flipped on its head. Its wonderful. :allears:

Also Lightsided Lady Sith Warrior is one of my fav's for twisting narratives and loving with expectations. Try it if you've yet to!

The Agent storyline was so good; I just wish I'd been able to finesse it so that I could have been a double-agent. :argh:

I preferred Freedom and being an ally of the empire without interference. Although I really wish "Save Imperial Intelligence" ending had survived from the beta. Ah well, at least SOR let me help shape sith intelligence.

It's still suprising to me how much being a woman with a sniper rifle and a whole pile of toxin's has sunk its claws into me. In a setting with space wizards, I'm making due on skill and crazy preparation alone. It just feels so right.

While I am enjoying Consular, and I've yet to beat it (on Corellia now), I just wanted to say to anyone whos got their eye on rolling one to see its story, Go Sage, unless you really want to be a Shadow.

Regularly running into two silvers and a gold, because the plot demands it, is not fun in the slightest.

It is a refreshingly "Mystical Jedi Problems" storyline without sacrificing anything* for it. Enjoying it alot.

*Unlike the Knight that crams the "Luke Skywalker Experience" so deeply down your throat you're coughing up bits of different Superweapon's for weeks afterwards.

I might have been unclear. I really enjoy Shadow/Assassin's playstyle. I hate that they keep throwing me into impossible odds fights that require multiple attempts even with gear thats upto date.

Spent more coms on my shadow then any other class keeping my gear fresh. Rerolled Tank too. Its been an interesting ride so far for sure.

However I cant help but think the Sage's toolset was in mind when they balanced alot of this. Its pretty rough. Not right up impossible but the deck feels against you as a Shadow.

Huh. I don't recall having any trouble with my Shadow leveling as dps. Used Theran all the time until I got Nadia, then switched to her. I don't remember any fights being especially hard except for the last boss which I forgot the first time has actual mechanics you can't ignore.

That'd be my mistake then. I've been using Qyzen until I replaced him with Nadia. Theran rubbed me funny as a character so I didn't give him a second thought, healer or not. Holiday is also somewhere between Aww and Ugh too, the latter mostly because of Theran.

It'll be nice when any companion can do anything. :unsmith:

I think one of the real problems with Jedi, particularly old republic Jedi, is the supression of emotions. As such Jedi stories have very little emotive impact and their voice acting tends to be flat, at least if you are playing mostly light-sided.

It's a problem yeah. Thankfully I offset it slightly by having my Consular have a ruthless side with armed enemies, Sith, but not the Empire, and Hutts/The Cartel as a whole. Still a good Jedi, just prone to snarling at Hutts. :fuckoff:

UK here. Apart from some very occasional (like one or twice every few hours) "Did I disconnect? Oh no, just a huge spike." moments*, US is as smooth as EU servers.

*And I'm inclined to think this is my connection, but only Star Wars suffers so there might be something to it.

If you open your quest log there is a reset quest button. It will start you over from the beginning but it lets you reset those 'final' choices.

Stupid question regarding the "cartel" vendors, none of them are going away anytime soon right? Just got my rep with Contraband Resale upto almost-champion in one sitting and It'll be nice to have a source of a few more outfits for future alts.

Dont want to discover later that they are gone or anything. :ohdear:

Fuzz posted:

The problem is that Jedi != Light Side and Sith != Dark Side. They're 4 different things.

...

A good post. Thankfully Bioware seemed to be fully aware of this and wrote accordingly. Its not like the PC is the only nice Sith you run into either, a questgiver sithlord on Yavin 4 who is chipper as gently caress. The cool old guy on Tatooine who just wants to find artefacts. Darth "Cool Old Uncle" Vowrawn :allears:

And heck, the Sith side of that is also more complex when you realise their are Sith who use more then just "GET MAD!" as their power. Dromund Kass's "seal the doors in the dark temple" questline has that hologram that mentions sith using Passion as their inner fire. I don't think it'd be much of a stretch to assume that extends to other powerful emotions and drives.

Somewhere out-there is a Sith powered by overwhelming smugness.

I'm not very happy with my Princessing in SWTOR, but that's what I get for rebuilding my EU account on the US. :haw: So I'm cherry picking some of them.

Agent (Main)



"On the Job." Also my preferred outfit, even if its just the prelude stuff from Revan! :haw:



Treek is such a great companion. :allears:

Smuggler



"Put that camera away, I look like I'm posing for a recruitment drive."

No companion for this one, It's the Wookie anyway. Who wouldn't use the Wookie?!

Consular



Kinda happy with both outfits here actually.

Bounty Hunter



Same here too, because Heat-sink armour is amazing. :allears:

Warrior



Prior to "joining" the Sith, I like to imagine my Warrior was a Imperial Ace because this was the outfit I started with on a whim. Funny when that kind of narrative happens.

Inquisitor



Glorious Sith Patriot of the Empire. Also shy.

This one's kinda dull honestly, but I do like that it fits what with the Sith Inq being responsible for reviving and successfully completing the Silencer project.

Bonus screenshots!

Also why is taking screenshots in this game so hit and miss. :negative:

How can you use this hairstyle, doesn't it clip horribly through your face all the time? Maybe my issue was that I tried it with Sith Warrior, but most of my attacks would leave me with it stuck clipping forward and half of my scalp visible. I just wish they would accept their defeat in this attempt to have hairstyles with physics and make it static. I really like how it looks.

It occasionally clips badly when skipping dialogue or falling.
