I have to agree that Bowdaar was not very good at first, but after buying him the best Vibroblade I could get (lvl 70) he was usable. After upgrading all his gear with the dedicated mission-rewards and giving him endurance/strength implants he is an absolute Wookie Gladiator. I also learned that since he draws mobs, one can use AoE (thermal grenades) to great effect. I have a 'cunning+power focussed Saboteur Gunslinger biocrafter-on-stims' build and I am quite impressed. I am typically over-level by one or two so it is hard to say. Just playing the basic solo lines nets a ton of XP with Bowdarr yodelling his way down the valley while I Thermal-spam every mob he draws! Sweeping Gunfire is pretty useful after he has drawn a crowd as well. Good Luck! I can't express how glad I am that I no longer have to listen to Corso's incessant trash-talk and yammering.

I'm one of those 'lazy' players. I'd love to do a flashpoint, but at level 33 I have not done a single one yet. I typically grey out areas before I am even done with all the solo quests. I make a special effort to sit around for the Heriocs, sometimes even going back to 'old' planets to do a grey mission just for the storyline. I guess with the extra effort involved in Flashpoint grouping I just never seem to feel the urge to go through the hassle. I'd like to try some, but can't be bothered when the other content is begging to be played.

Doubt this is at the top of Bioware's list, but it does detract from the game. I think the green lines/concert lazer light show playing across the whole map needs fixin' first. Those lines can actually get a person killed, while the grass just breaks any suspension of disbelief and slays immersion.

I'm having a great time in-game. The #1 factoid from the interview from my perspective was the acknowledgement of the UI lag. The fact that it is on Bioware's radar is all I wanted to hear, tbh. Great job so far Bioware. gogogo!

Thanks Very Much! I learned something today, so now I can go to bed with an accomplished state of mind. The above works great! It leaves an open command window but I'm sure its' effect on FPS is negligible (zero, zip, nil). 8 D
