I don't care one bit about Anthem and I can't wait for its launch so I can hear more about the game, aside from SWTOR of course, I care about: Dragon Age.
I'm coming for you, Solas, you dbag.
I recently finally got around to giving DA:O a try (I got it as part of a huge sale bundle on GOG a while back). So far I’m liking the story. A power-hungry jerk betrays the king and the entire country (possibly the entire world) in the middle of a demon invasion, and *now* I’m dealing with a zombie apocalypse on top of that *and* having been falsely declared a traitor just because I got recruited to the Grey Wardens... and everything so far actually makes sense...unlike, oh, say, taking a non force using character through KOTFE/KOTET...or the whole traitor arc...or how the entire galaxy’s apparently forgotten that my consular is Barsen’thor...or the fact that a force-user-eating dashade (Khem) is willing to have an intimate relationship with a Sith Inquisitor...

I want a Sarlacc companion.
-
Haha as mostly empire side my Marauder would probably respond with a light saber through the gut. Assuming your race has a gut in the same spot humans do.
Assuming your marauder could catch her off guard, which doesn’t happen in the presence of humans. She has quite a few very good reasons to hate humans in general. Any that she doesn’t absolutely loathe and completely distrust are very notable exceptions.
-
Crafting mats, primarily, Occasionally CM outfits if I’m wanting a specific one for a character or companion. I’ll probably start throwing credits at decorations once I finish completing all the class stories, especially if they give us an Odessen SH.
-
I play humans, pureblood Sith, cyborgs, Miraluka and the occasional Twi'lek, Togruta, and Chiss. Why? Because I like to be pretty. No offense, but I don't care for green or fur. Does that make me colourist? Furist? I dunno. I just like what I like.
Random thought based on your avatar:
Wonder what the game would be like if you could play a sentient Veractyl

I think it’s handled well tbh, much better than I anticipated. Im treated as the commander not called “outlander”. They respect me as such, my character does not bow to Malgus because I have authority as commander, I outrank him but sure lets pretend we are equal footing. Your not going to be suddenly put into the dark council or any empire stuff right away. You just got back with them. This is a prologue of you coming back, when the full story comes in you might join fully by the end of it your original faction. But right now they can’t put you right away with them when you can sabotage them. Not everyone’s characters feel like they are jedi or sith anymore so this is a way to make those characters still be their own thing.
Regardless of the alliance thing, my Consular should have been addressed as Barsen’thor, especially since she was dealing with other Jedi. *That* title didn’t change just because I’m the leader of a separate faction, even if other class’s titles/positions no longer apply.
On another note, Vitiate calls the SI “little Sith”? SI should take extreme offense to that, as that’s Khem’s pet name for the SI
-
All my characters are human and except a couple that are chiss. I’m just not a fan as playing as an alien. Go humans!!
My SI would respond to your cheering humans with a muttered “filthy sewer rats” LOL
-
You should rejoice because Ben Irving got sent from SWTOR to Anthem and no single move BioWare has made has brought me more joy. I know it's petty and immature and unbecoming, but I will never forget watching the live streams where they talked about how exciting RNG is (even though players had practically risen in one voice and screamed NOOO!!!!!) and how we as players weren't playing the game the way it should be played.
He must be one of the bozos that likes lootboxes. But that’s only one obviously undesirable person. What about the rest?
-
I didn't want to bring EA's own reputation to the mix, but yes. Anything EA has "worked" on for more than a couple titles, was ruined, their sports department excluded... Command&Conquer is , maybe, the most prime of examples of that rep
That’s because their sports vomit, sadly, is what made them big enough to start buying and ruining that growing list of unfortunate studios...
-
The only human character I have is my Smuggler, unless you count cyborgs as humans, then you can add my BH.
JC: Cathar
JK: Miraluka
SW: Sith pureblood
SI: Twi’lek
IA: Chiss
Haven’t made a trooper yet, no idea which species I’m going to use there. Probably one of the ones I haven’t used yet.
Keep in mind that only the blindfold distinguishes Miraluka from humans, so you might not notice a Miraluka if you’re not paying attention.
-
Ooh, on the third option there, do I get the option of “she’s just another filthy human”? (Asking for my SI, she considers humans to be a plague on the galaxy that needs to be contained/controlled)
-
Kel-dor
Nautalans
Devaronians
These three, IMO, are the most likely
Less likely but still amusing and/or interesting to see/play as:
Ewoks
Jawas
Ithorians
Rodians
Bith
Bothans
Sullustans
Mon Calamari
Dugs
Gamorreans
Tusken raiders
Dathomir Nightsisters
Dashade
Ugnaughts
Droids of various types
Wookiees
Kaminoans
Geonosians
Killiks (joiners or otherwise)
Gungans
And yes, I know that some of them you can dress up as, but that’s not the same
-
What I’m wondering is, why should I feel anything other than resentment towards this Anthem game for taking devs away from this one?
-
People...there’s been an open world Star Wars game before. It was an MMO by the name Star Wars Galaxies, maybe some of you have heard of it?
-
The specified rarity ***or better***.
Bronze packs give any rarity.
Silver packs give any rarity except bronze.
Gold packs give gold or platinum rarity.
Ahh, wasn’t aware of that. I always assumed it was the specified rarity only.
-
Because he’s Darth Angsty Rebellious Teenager
-
Go right ahead. Just be aware that every Cathar in the galaxy will probably be hostile to you. It’s only been 300 years since the Battle of Cathar (which, really, is more accurately described as genocide or “nearly successful attempt by the Mandalorians to render the Cathar species extinct”) after all, and it’ll take a couple thousand years for the species and planet to recover.
-
Another key difference between those packs and the ultimate is that you get one item of the specified rarity (i.e. one random gold rarity armor set from the Gold Armor Pack).
-
I have to look into that. Thank you. Now the problem lies in having to unlock everything -individually- for each character in the legacy window.
Yeah, I agree, that is a pain. Best way to do it is to only globally unlock collected items when you’re wanting to use them on a different character. I’ve only done that with a few mounts and armor sets. The most generally useful ones I’ve found so far is the covert energy armor pieces (for setting up outfits/appearance by hiding slots the appearance you’re wanting doesn’t include a specific piece for). You can find them on GTN if you have enough credits, otherwise you’ll have to get them from cartel crates.
-
It’s EA, so they’re probably only doing enough to convince Disney to let them renew the contract so other companies can’t use the IP to be a viable competitor.

Time for more random musical shenanigans!
This time, imagine your characters are calling in to a radio station to request a song. What song do they request? Do they dedicate it to someone? Does the song have special meaning for them?
I’ll start with a couple of my characters as examples:
Myra Blaize: human smuggler
Song: Any Man Of Mine
Artist: Shania Twain
Dedication: “you better be payin’ attention, Corso!”
This fire-haired “privateer extraordinaire” is a country girl at heart, who won’t let anyone push her around and insists on being treated right.
Darth Vaccina: Twi’lek Sith Sorceress
Song: The Sickness
Artist: Disturbed
Dedication: “screw Zash”
Need I say more?
-
@Ardrossan - That may be considered the “loyal officer” ending, but...that’s really only true for choosing “what are your orders”, I’d think. I may be biased though since my agent’s Chiss - however loyal to the empire she might seem, her true loyalty is to the Ascendancy
-
Would it be similar if I was playing an light side Sith ?
Nah, Zash only cares about your force potential for when she takes over your body, so she’s too busy buttering you up to make you more pliant so it’s easier for her to do. Can’t say about Darth Cartman, as I haven’t gotten that far into the SW’s story yet.
-
Well said. Play the classes you find the most fun in terms of the mechanics and the accompanying visuals (shooting lightning looks way cooler than throwing rocks, imo).
And a Dirty Kick looks way more painful than <insert any other attack here>
Why are Humans and Sith really the most popular race and

A Sith twi’lek. She considers humans to be a major part of everything that’s wrong with the galaxy.
