    Reintroduction of the ability to kill your companions

    in Suggestion Box

    Posted

    For those who don't know, in the beta you had the ability to kill your companions one way or another. The most common cited example being Quinn's betrayal where you had the ability to force choke him to death rather than to an inch of his life. However this ability was removed before the game was launched to the public. I have heard many reasons why but now I think it is time to bring it back to the game because you can kill two companions (one DPS, other any role) without having much trouble finding a replacement for them now. I can see SWTOR introducing new companions into the game over time, given the success of HK and Treek. This I think will make the reintroduction of killing your companions more feasible.

     

    So that is my suggestion, bring back the ability to kill your companions.

    What reason would aliens have to be loyal to the Empire?

    Except for the Chiss, whose Agents seem to hold dual loyalties to the Empire and the Ascendency. However, the straightness of that combined with the Empire's general unpleasantness keeps making me not really want to continue further, and only the interestingness of the general plot and my interest in uncovering dark side lore keeps me continuing.

     

    That could be something to get into character for. Have no loyalties to the Empire, rather use them as a vehicle to help your character uncover dark side lore. Would be appropriate given that inquisitors consider themselves masters of the dark side.

    Show off your characters!

    When she became a Sith Lord I updated her outfit to reflect her status. :D

    What reason would aliens have to be loyal to the Empire?

    I have a female Twi'lek inquisitor toon and I think I can answer some of these questions from my point of view of how I developed her based on my research of the SW universe and tying it in to my character

     

    Let's begin with the slavery thing. Your character, like mine was a slave. But we were also discovered to be force sensitive. That's an important thing to consider among the Empire because the Sith Emperor's edict is for all force sensitives who are under the jurisdiction of the Empire to be sent to Korriban to be trained as Sith or die. Since you were already on Korriban when your force sensitivity was discovered you didn't have a choice in the matter, so off your toon went. The Sith Code tells us is that the power of the force shall break our chains and set us free, and as such us being force sensitive freed our toons from the chains of slavery. Tying it in with my toon it is very common for twi'lek females to be used as slaves or dancers because of their beauty. She does detest slavery but at the same time slavery among her people is so common it has become an institution of sorts, and a very profitable one at that.

     

    The Empire's relationship with alien species is complicated. Yes there are members of the Empire (both sith and non-sith) who are xenophobic however at the same time you have two alien species entrenched into the Empire, the Chiss and Sith Purebloods. So it's not that they completely turn their backs on aliens. The Sith species were discovered by the dark Jedi long before the empire existed. The dark Jedi discovered the force sensitivity of the species and subjected them and made their home with them on Korriban. Eventually they interbred with them. The Chiss became part of the Empire after they surrendered to them and became allies. But they still have their own culture and society separate from the Empire. My toon is aware of the xenophobia persistent within the empire and is reminded of it. But she stands her ground and throws it back at them, telling them their attitude stinks or expressing her discontent of their views. She's along the thought of I am alien, I am Sith, suck it up and deal with it. She can care less about their views.

     

    At face value there is very little reason for an alien slave to be loyal to the Empire and my toon is the same way. My toon actually can care less about the Empire but she does have some loyalty to it. After all it was the Empire that took her out of slavery because of the Emperor's edict, and after proving herself in the tombs of Korriban she has a place among the Empire, despite her status as a alien and ex-slave. But she does want to see some changes and it is her hope among her position in the Sith Order she can nudge those changes.

     

    On the issue with Kalig. It is actually a simple one to resolve. Twi'leks and humans can interbreed and produce hybrids. It was made canon with Shaeeah and Jek Lawquane in The Clone Wars series episode "The Deserter". Their mother was a Twil'lek named Suu Lawquane and their father was a unknown human.

    Funniest line in game?

    Zash: Good. I saw the last acolyte arrive. I want to see the hopefuls off on their final trial. Where is...umm...What's his name...the red one, Fhon?

     

    Overseer: He finished his trial early so I sent him on rather than keep him waiting for this.

     

    Zash: Pity. I just finished translating the wonderful text this acolyte brought from Tulak Hord's tomb and it's most illuminating. I do not know if the map can be retrieved without it.

     

    SI: Uh oh Fhon's in trouble.

     

    Overseer: It's too late, Fhon already left. You can't just....

     

    Zash: What, give one acolyte an unfair advantage over another? Overseer when is being sith ever been about being fair?

     

     

    That made me laugh for a good minute.

    I am actually enjoying playing my LS Sorc. But she isn't without her flaws.

     

    A little background info. She is a twi'lek that doesn't care all that much about the Empire. After all she has two strikes against her when it comes to Empire society. One, she's an alien and we all know how much the empire loves aliens, and two she was a slave, which are the lowest class of Empire. She does enjoy her relative freedom going around and exploring the galaxy. However she does have principals and knows the value of allies to consolidate her power and influence in the Empire. She doesn't torture when interrogating someone since she thinks it's a useless tool and she doesn't kill unless they threaten her with violence or they betray her. She applies this to both non force sensitives and force sensitives. Plus some other things that would be non expectant of a stereotypical Sith but keeping in line with her character background and development.

     

    I remember the quest line on Alderaan where you are given the choice to spare or kill the Rist guys who try to take you hostage after betrayal of the House Thul information.

     

    Yeah I killed them both. She doesn't tolerate betrayal. Then there are some DS points that are just hilarious to take such as the following.

     

     

    On Balmorra I saved the son of the officer of the Imperial reclamation service. After of course his son being a dick to me, threatening to kill me and blah blah and such. But I looked at him as being an idiot. He told me he hated his father's guts for some reason (daddy issues?) so that pretty much reinforced my thought of him being an idiot. Well anyways I get back to the officer and he asked me about his son. I told him that he hated his guts. Best 50 DS points I ever got. It was hilarious, especially when he was in denial of the whole thing.

     

     

    The other one where I took some DS points is when the officer on Quesh says it wasn't a woman's place to be on the front lines. Needless to say I corrected that behavior really quick with some shocking results.

     

    But still even though I have some DS (about 2500 I think) I am LS three. I am liking how my character is developing throughout her questing and story.

    Hell, in Star Wars?

    in Story and Lore

    Posted · Edited by NightshadeBlue

    The concept of hell in Star wars is generally referred to as Chaos. It is also known as The Void. It's a place in the force netherworld that the evil spirits of sentient beings inhabit. These include the Dark Jedi, the Dark Lords of the Sith, and people do did evil acts in general. What hell is to someone in the Star Wars universe is dependent on who you talk to. Correlians, like Gidera said, has nine levels. Nabooians envision hell as a dark, empty pit closed off by six impenetrable gates.

     

    Sounds like a lovely vacation spot.

    Drop Synthweaving?

    in Crew Skills

    Posted

    I have crafted the bind-on-pickup pieces of Rakata gear for myself and for my companions. If there really a reason to stay with Synthweaving? Do people actually buy these pieces of armor Synthweaving provides, with just a 25 armor rating for Oranges? Or is it worthwhile to switch to Artifice and get the Rakata relics?

     

    Thank in advance for your advice. :)

     

    Okay gonna sound noobish here but you can craft Rakata gear for your companions? Cool!

     

    My main is a synth and for me I don't see any reason to switch. I do not know personally if people buy synth items on the GTN but make some oranges and see what happens. Make them augments too, since synths can and artificers can't. You can also hang on to syth when progressing your gear by making augments with them. It's what I do.
