    Who else is allured by Mako in the game?

    in Story and Lore

    Posted · Edited by gaskull

    heh sure, both my BH's male & fem [PT/Merc] are rather saintly[plenty of LS points] ^^ but actually I dont have her around much in battle, I usually stick with Gault or Torian. Was sort of aiming to just be a greedy, ruthless bastard..but it dosent seem like I pulled that off on my hunters..

    Favorite -> Least Favorite Companion?

    Favorites huh.. Well I generaly like most of my SI companions though Khem Val is pretty much on top, a big hulk with a blade slaying & devouring you'r enemies..What's not to like there? :)

     

    On the other hand we have my BH [dont have Skadge yet] and I find Gault simply hillariously witty & charismatic.

    And Torian the honorable one always up for a challenge :)

     

    On my SW the characters are bit..well I dont know.. Lt. Pierce is somewhat interesting..but with my Marauder im pretty must just tugging Malavai around so :(

    Your thoughts on SWTOR as a whole

    I've really been enjoying the game. It's not perfect, but nothing is.

     

    There are definitely bugs (which happen in any game and any MMO). IT's no where near as large as WoW (what would be?) But I've honestly enjoyed the game.

     

    I feel far more attached to my characters than I have in almost any game, probably as there are 8 different classes, voice acting, companions, etc. I really feel like I "live" in the world when I'm there, which is pretty awesome.

     

    The end game is enjoyable. Not huge, but there and fun. I'm honestly enjoying leveling more, so while I've done the ops, I'm not super excited about trying nightmare modes or getting to 60 valor as I'd honestly rather get more alts going.

     

    I'm kind of sad that most of my friends aren't on when I am (due to time differences) and that I think there are still some growing pains regarding guilds, etc. A lot of this will probably just take some time to settle down. (I remember it always being somewhat difficult to get adjusted to things when I played WoW after a server transfer, and never really settled into Aion, Rift, etc.)

     

    There are always things I'd love (More end game content! More story line quests! More planets! The ability to go back and revisit people from earlier quests! Cooler looking gear! More PVP zones!). But I'm fairly content with the game as is, you know?

     

    I second that, I agree :cool:

    How do you play your character(s)?

    hm..My Sith are all darksiders, but what they care about [exept themselves & their companions) is that the Imperial warmachine shall run smoothly and efficiently and therefore see it as their duty to remove incompetent/corrupt military officials or other Sith. The dont take kindly to wasteful use of resources & manpower.

     

    My agent sees his job as a oportunity to cause havoc & destruction aswell as cashing in, he still obeys Imperial command, but the idea of becoming a free-lancer is not that far-fetched.

     

    My bounty hunter has a rather strict moral code, and wont deviate from it, she get's the job done, one way or other.

    Kaliyo is just great through and through, isnt she just charming when you stand with you'r blaster aimed at the head of some poor criminal/target when in their house starting to interrogate them and she says , Hey, I'll check what they have in the kitchen...Yep, a drink after this would make my day love :cool:

    Females never given flirt options?

    in Story and Lore

    Posted

    hm... flirting is rather un-rewarding most of the time ..or rather..the wrong person[npc] at the recieving end so I dont even bother..

     

    But anyway..fem agent seems to get allot of it..

     

     

    At Nem'Ro the Hutts palace a guy threathens to blackmail you for acting "as the Red Blade", you either shoot him, pay him..or soften him up by flirting and then "jump in the sack with him, which she apperantly regretted woefully afterwards

     

    Are Sith really evil?

    in Story and Lore

    Posted

    Actually, they embrace the dark and the light equally. They are the TRUE Nietzche followers. They do what must be done. Complete pragmatists. Jolee Bindo, probably the most famous Grey Jedi of this millenium explained it very well. They embrace both dark and light, but have the common sense to know where to stop. They see the world not in black and white, as the hardliners in the Jedi and Sith do. They see all the shades of grey.

     

    That said, some Sith are the same way. Complete pragmatists that do what must be done in order to achieve victory or survive. Now, most of the tactically sound decisions in the SW storyline are light side. Go figure.

     

    After studying both the Jedi and Sith codes, I can say this with certainty.

     

    The Jedi Code is much more restrictive than the Sith Code, but the Sith Code is NOT necessarily evil.

     

    "Peace is a lie, there is only passion": True to an extent, and the basis for Sith acting all "evil". Peace. Inner peace. TRUE peace. Peace is VERY difficult to obtain. They see their passion as more reliable. Passion does NOT necessarily mean evil, however.

     

    "Through passion, I gain strength": This is the basis for Sith wanting to constantly better themselves and learn everything they can. Also NOT necessarily evil.

     

    "Through strength, I gain power": This is the basis for Sith infighting, and the Darwinian aspect of Sith culture. Also, in some cases, the basis for Sith honor. It takes more strength to show mercy and compassion than to strike out blindly. And in showing mercy and compassion, better results are achieved. More loyalty, and no fear to hinder your followers.

     

    "Through power, I gain victory": Here we go! This is the basis for the Sith wanting to conquer the galaxy. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Victory over yourself is the first step to the next line....

     

    "Through victory, my chains are broken": Only when we have mastered ourselves, will our chains be broken.

     

    "The Force shall free me": True freedom. Not answerable to anyone but yourself. Only when you have mastered your passion. Mastered your strength and power. Gained victory over yourself more than those around you, will you truely be free.

     

    Now, as to the Jedi code (ugh)....

     

    "There is no" full stop. Seriously??? Nevermind. Misinterpretation of the Jedi code has led to more pain and suffering than anything the Sith ever did. The Sith just took advantage of it.

     

    My argument here is while some Sith ARE evil, in fact the majority of them can definitely be considered evil as they let their power go to their heads. They are not truely following their own code. Nowhere in there does it say anything about random or constant cruelty. Nowhere in there does it say anything about manipulating others. Nothing about drama. Nothing about politics.

     

    Some of the convo choices for the Sith Inquisitor are very interesting in fact. When asked by several Sith what I believed the Sith Code meant, I said "It means freedom. Freedom to choose my own path." Which is what I firmly believe it was intended to mean.

     

    The main problem with the Sith Empire is that they see the Code as completely Darwinian, when it is just a guideline to realizing their full potential. That's my take on it.

     

    I second that, I completly agree.

    A Gap Closer for Operatives

    in PvP

    Posted

    When did operatives started getting weak? As far as I can tell,they can toy with any class at any lvl, which makes my poor marauder & sorc feel really humiliated [ye I can deal with it..]

     

    You tend to pop up at my rear-end and keep me pinned to the ground untill death.. Funny thing is though.. That I've have some really enjoyable close up fight's with operatives on my sniper..ye..my sniper..and I've even won some of those, which makes it extra funny..so I guess sniper will be nerfed soon aswell :o

    I havent played a BH past 30, [act 2 I suppose?] so..ye..what's up with Mako? I was sorta aiming towards a romance but hell..it just feels queer..I mean..she's like a child/litte sister anyway..Does BH's get any other romance-option's?..Ah well..Right now I just want more Andronikos Content for my SI please! it's been too calm on the ship for sure haha ;)
