Arguing about Lore for 5 years and counting



I've been a happy follower of this LP megathread since all the way back when I didn't have an account and was foaming at the mouth at being unable to vote what class and race old Moon Slayer was gonna play.

The previous iterations of this thread have made me return to SWTOR countless times. I REGRET NOTHING.

I'm not really a raider myself, in SWTOR or any MMO. I've never really been a big participant in the social and guild-related aspects of MMOs which is part of what makes SWTOR's story focus appealing (even if it's pretty uneven). It's just tough to get motivated for the gear-grinding treadmill unless you happen to have friends to play through it with, and in that case there are other, more fun games to play. I do like the idea of "story-mode" versions of flashpoints and the like that let people play through just to check them out, though.

On the topic of new thread content, I've got something coming up but I'm waiting for PTN to get back in order to make it work a little better, so hopefully some time later this week.

Edit: I will admit that the stronghold system is almost enough to tempt me into doing a bunch of grinding and dungeon-delving, although that's just for the sake of the Let's Play. Kind of hard to justify ginning up fifty million credits for that though.

Don't you have the free mostly unlocked Nar Shadda SH they gave away when the stronghold system came out?

Wait, are you implying the Revanites are the Star Cabal? because that seems implausible, the Star Cabal wanted to gently caress over all force users everywhere, and hiring force users and serving Revan seems to be....the complete opposite of that.

Hm... I much prefer the first Havoc Squad cartel armor they made, fits a lot more with the pre-KOTFE design of Havoc.

Also: Post-4.0 Dorne's fightstyle is hilarious, she starts shotgunning people. Never imagined the healer would do that.

My favorite is the feign death that pops up a colored loot marker. It's random too so sometimes you'll have people who have never seen it before run over and try to click on you because you popped a purple loot marker.

I fell for that in a dungeon Flashback FLASHPOINT. rear end in a top hat was even worse because he used it in the middle of where we killed a bunch of random mobs.

I've seen some posts in the TSF about recovering bad Shadowplay recordings, if you mean lost in the sense of corrupted, as opposed to lost in the sense of "didn't bother recording when I told it to," another thing it likes to do.

every time I hear about a shadowplay update I'm glad I locked my updates folder to read-only so it'll never update from my current, perfectly functional, version until and unless I want to. which, given the stories, I don't!


wouldn't be a remake of ANH, so no, can't get rid of it. :v:

Also I'd argue the main story of TFA is torch-passing (and, y'know, trying to restart the movie franchise), so while finding Luke was the plot device that got it going, you're kidding if you don't think Rey and Finn weren't the main story characters. As a direct ANH analogue, the main story of ANH was not finding Obi-wan, it was passing the torch to Luke, Leia, and Han. It's not a perfect analogy, but starting a Star Wars trilogy with the older generation moving aside so the younger one takes the fore is, well, right out of ANH.


I dunno how Quinine is going to handle that. He's been booting people in the groin for so long, how will he ever move to the advanced tier of shooting them?

...didn't that get made fun of, way back when? "Why do you carry these guns and kick them instead?"

Quin is a scoundrel, scoundreks get to keep the nutcracker kick.

It's a little loose. The end of your class story could have you getting a medal from the Chancellor and an official promotion to Actual Privateer, or be made pirate king and turn the Underworld fleet loose on everyone for Maximum Looting. All the endgame content settles on the Smuggler being the Republic's top freelance trouble-shooter (in the literal sense), but you're not too different than the Imperial Agent or Bounty Hunter for being effectively an independent contractor with an impressive-enough track record that people don't care you don't have a laser-sword.

Enjoyed the update, Marr's a cool cat so it's neat to have him along, also the first hint that the companion situation's going to be a little different going forward. Good to see Mort's particular character shining through, including deciding today IS a good day to die!

Also my update plans were pushed back when I got to my dad's apartment this weekend and it was immediately flooded out by an exploded water main in the middle of Canadian winter, but now that particular crisis is resolved maybe I can get back on track?

It's a little more nuanced than that. The Sith Empire was just supposed to keep the galaxy divided, preoccupied, and weak until Zakuul was ready to strike.

The Emperor is a loving terrible villain and the story from here on out is a railroad of lazy plot devices and bad writing.

And yet it is miles better than anything the game has had to offer thus far.

According to what we hear in the first Kotor game, Tatooine has been settled, abandoned and re-settled multiple times! Apparently the Kotor settling is the one that stuck, because they went and settled Anchorhead, a settlement that keeps appearing in both TOR and the rest of the franchise.
