Did you read the entirety of the post? How often do you press spacebar? Do you feel there's anything problematic with the way some of the Empire quest lines are handled given it's T for Teen rating?
perpetuating age old chauvinistic view of female characters, aiding in slave trades, verifying race purity, sexually abusing a companion who genuinely just wants to help you.
Why does it seem like developers go out of there way to make games unfriendly to women? My girlfriend was literally sickened by it
--and yes she agreed that under the circumstance of a more intelligent, well developed scene the actions could be made justifiably, but as they stand it's just gross. Certainly worthy of an M rating and not fitting the Pixar vibe you get for the other odd half of the content.
How is shocking Vette sexual abuse? How is it sexual in any way? You are giving her an electric shock for mouthing off, you could just as easily slap her and that would not be constued as sexual abuse, just abuse. She is a slave, I personally treat her rather well but dominating and abusing people is what Sith do, that should not be unexpected.
I also do not think this game should have an M rating, any teen is capable of handling this content, I played worse games when I was 8-10 years old and I see no problems with that for one simple reason, I can separate fantasy from reality.

I took the collar off the first time she asked, I am mostly a dark side Sith (A few light points have come my way when the dark options have been utterly stupid) just for reference. Why? She earned it on Korriban, I wouldn't have been able to finish the last trial without her, plain and simple. In addition, Vette has balls, mouthing off to a Sith who chokes people with his mind is gutsy and my warrior respects that.
So yeah, I took it off and she's served me well. I'll probably end up romancing my newest female accomplice, but I like having Vette around.

It's because of the Warrior's background/story. They were born to be Sith and came from a very powerful Sith family. The Empire only recently started allowing aliens to become Sith, so in that regard it doesnt make sense to have an alien Sith Warrior. It makes perfect sense for an Inquisitor, because they start out as slaves who were noticed to powerful in the force.
But then again, there are Zabrak Sith Warriors, which completely contradicts everything I just said. So who knows really
The Zabrak is there as a last minute addition, just as the Pureblood when it comes to inquisitors. Originally, Warriors could not play Zabrak nor could inquisitors play Purebloods (As far as I've heard) which is why the story doesn't really make sense for those two races.

It works out real well for my Sith Juggernaut, you Jedi are so uptight about genocide...
-
But does that not prove everything he done was about family?
Yeah, and? If you murder children I don't care if you did it to save your family, you still murdered children.

Millennium Falcon. Done.

Curb stomped for 20 years then back again 120 years later..I honestly think the two sides will never be destroyed.
Of course not, the Jedi vs Sith conflict is at the heart of Star Wars. There can't be light without darkness.
-
I will say that some of the stuff is interesting, but I don't get how Anakin can have a patawan. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
He is a Knight, normally you can not become a Master untill you have trained a Padawan, if memory serves. It's been a while since I read up on that part of lore so if someone ends up correcting me I won't be surprised.
And speaking of Ahsoka. I absolutely hated her at first, I thought she was most of what was wrong with the movie, but over time she grew on me and has come more into her own as a character. I'm also glad the changed her model/outfit, as the old one was a bit too jailbaity for my tastes.

The Clone Wars are to me what the prequels should have been. The show does have it's childish moments, it is a show aimed at kids of course so that is to be expected, but because I am able to put myself in the mental state I had 10 years ago, I am able to enjoy this show. At first I thought it was stupid when I saw the movie (Actually the show's pilot, but whatever) but over time the show's quality improved and I started enjoying it.
Is it my favourite show? Not by a long shot, but between Boardwalk Empire and House it's nice to have something to just watch just because it's kinda fun, I mostly watch rather dark and serious shows, so having something to lighten the mood is a good balancing act.
And objectively speaking, the show improved by a lot around late season 2 and season 3, becoming much more adult friendly for lack of a better term, it got darker but didn't go overboard and I think that strengthened the show.
So I'm taking off my cynical old school Star Wars fan pants (I may only be 21 but I grew up during the late 70's and 80's in spirit) and I am saying: I like the Clone Wars for what it is, a mostly lighthhearted and fun show.

Without going into great detail on your post (The ideas have potential, though most aren't what I'd personally like to see.) I'll list a few things I would like to see added at some point.
-More racial diversity. The arguments have been made about relatability and romance and so on, but I can't swallow that, to me the current race selection is bland. In a galaxy that offers so many interesting species it's a real shame that we as players can not choose how relatable or romancable our characters should be. Giving players the option of playing a Weequay, Kel-Dor, Togruta or Cathar (Just to name a few) would allow a much wider variety in characters and allow players to truly play who they want to play.
-Less flamboyant optional armor/clothing. Now I know this was a stylistic decision to bring variety to a gear based MMO and I am not suggesting that should be changed. I would however like to see some more plain apparel similar to the Jedi/Sith robes worn in KotOR or even the Star Wars movies. These items could be orange (Moddable) items introduced to simply add some flavour and allow players to look the way they want. The main problem with a gear based system to me is that everyone eventually ends up looking exactly the same, something which severely detracts from at least my enjoyment, when my character is in no way unique or interesting, but simply a carbon copy of everyone around him.
-More character customisation options. Mainly Hairstyles but also things like scars, tattoos, eye colours (Perhaps one blind eye for example, to match a scar) and maybe a body shape (Ideally something between male shape 2 and 3). This would tie in with an expanded race selection but would also be extremely welcome with the races we currently have. The hair selection for female character is quite honestly abysmal in my opinion and male characters do not fare much better. This would again allow players to create something much more personal and allow more varied characters for group play. As it stands, most people choose very similar options simply because of the quality disparage in what we currently have to work with.
These are just a handfull of things I would like to see, obviously there are many more pressing concerns to adress, but at some point in the future I would love to be able to really create a character that feels mine and be able to choose wether my character is ugly or pretty, alien or human, battle hardened or not etc.

Look for these. The bonus DVDs are a direct rip from the Laserdisc masters. It's as close as your gonna get to the unedited originals on durable media.
Thanks for the tip, I will do exactly that. A friend of mine actually has the very first VHS release of Empire (My favourite movie of all time) but refuses to let me buy it, which is understandable honestly, I sure wouldn't sell it if I had it.
-
I am so glad I still have the OT on VHS, sadly it's not the very first VHS release of the movies, I believe it is the second one, which does have some edits, but nothing from the prequels. Only problem is, I'm afraid to watch them, the tapes are already worn from me watching them over and over throughout my life, if they were finally worn out now I'd be crushed. But oh well, at least I have them.
-
After reading that, I'll concede that doing a whole new story for, as an example a wookie character (Which would then probably be used as both a race and class) would work well, but that does not change my opinion regarding races like Kel-Dor, Togruta, Weequay (I would love a Weequay BH for example) and more.
The main thing that bothers me is that all the races look basically the same, a green human isn't any more interesting than a normal human, they are both equally dull.
-
I don't hate them, I think they are bad movies virtually devoid of craftsmanship, but I don't hate them, I just don't really care about them.
That being said, I do have a fair amount of problems with them.
-Jar Jar is annoying, stupid, childish, and most importantly incredibly racist. On top of that, he serves absolutely no purpose, the Phantom Menace would be a stronger movie without the Gungans as a whole. One of it's main issues was that so much was crammed into it at once, making the movie feel like an incoherent mess full of meaningless plots that never went anywhere.
-The Lightsaber duels look coreographed. Obviously they are, but it never looks like people are trying to kill each other, they look like they are deliberately trying to hit the opponents blade instead of hitting the opponent. The fights turn out not being convincing in the slightest.
-The writing in all three is terrible, the acting is a mixed bag but it goes from passable to downright atrocious with a few solid performances severely hampered by the stilted and wooden acting all around them. This can be blamed on the script but also on the actors themselves, Hayden Christensen does look like he's trying, but he's not trying hard enough. Natalie Portman is normally a fantastic actress, but because there is zero chemistry between her and Hayden, every love scene ends up awkward and forced.
I could go on forever, but I can't be bothered writing any more about it right now, the movies aren't worth the effort.

I was wondering why hutts are so powefull? How did they aqquired such influence? They're just fat slimes and can't fight.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hutt
Wookiepedia disagrees with you.
-
Oh look, it's this thread again.
That can only mean one thing, there is a certain demand for this.
At any rate, I refuse to believe anyone is stupid enough to actively object to having more options. I understand there are far more pressing concerns right now, but it would be nice to know if alien races are ever going to be available to us, I am bored to tears with the current selection honestly.
-
Out of the ones you listed, the only ones I can realistically see are Togruta, Nautolan, and Kel Dorian. And even so, it would still cause issues with gear, such as the ones already experienced by Twi'leks.
First off, Kel-Dor. Not Kel Dorian.
Second, the gear issues are already there, if it's okay for Twi'Lek characters then it's okay for these as well. Not to mention that the gear issue is easily solvable, at least in the case of hoods.
We all know Twi'Lek wear their Lekku forward over their shoulders or wrapped around their necks, the same method that removes human hair when a hood is on can just as easily switch the Lekku model with one of the models I mentioned, the forward over the shoulders one would fit nicely.
The problem still persists on Kel-Dor and Togruta as their heads aren't as flexible, but honestly, would anyone playing those races really care? People already play Twi'Lek characters so my guess is going to be "No".
When it comes to the storytelling, I'd much rather have the option of making diverse characters than having a small number of races that conform easily to the storytelling and romances. The romances are optional and the level of immersion is entirely up to the player. If I choose to play for example a Kel-Dor, then I can live with nobody on my crew having the hots for me. My point is mainly that players should not be kept from choosing to play the character they want, if they miss out on something they have only themselves to blame.
I dont understand this "Need to speak basic" thing...why do they NEED to speak basic?What reason? What, so that you can understand them? There are a ton of people in the game that dont speak basic. They give you subtitles. I always have the subtitles on anyway, so even my character has subtitles.
If you have a character that doesn't speak basic it can just default subtitles to on.
I would be perfectly fine, in fact more than fine, if I could have a character that DIDNT speak basic. It would feel so much more like Star Wars if not everyone spoke the same language.
Some say its so you can "identify" more with the character...My main is a giant red skinned killing machine with spikes growing out of his face and glowing red eyes. He kills people for not calling him lord and weilds power this world has never even seen before. I could not possibly EVER identify with this character if I even tried. I am not a psychopath. Only a psychopath could possibly identify with my Sith lord.
Language means nothing in Star Wars. We have subtitles! Hell, the opening to Star Wars isnt narrated, its written! Giant words that fly through space!
A wookie is entirely viable. Now, their armor options would probably suck unless they made wookies their own class, but its entirely possible. Rodians and Trandoshians even more so.
I want characters that don't speak Basic. Its the Star Wars thing to do. You think George Lucas would have said "Nah, lets take out Greedo and Jabba the Hutt because people won't understand them." No, he said "Lets put in subtitles! Language is not a barrier! More aliens!"
You could then say "Well, all the main characters are human and speak basic." And to that I say "R2D2" You cant understand a thing he says and yet the entire saga is told from the perspective of C3PO and R2D2. Chewbacca too. The idea that we can't have a character because certain species dont speak basic is just uneccissary. It is extremely possible and I would welcome it.
Could not agree more with this. I get where BioWare is coming from, but if they want us to play our own stories, why not let us choose how to play it? How relatable or romancable my character is should be entirely up to me as a player.
I don't need to relate to my character, my character is not me. I am not a Bounty Hunter or a Sith Lord. When I roleplay I don't aim to play as myself, why would I possibly do that when I can instead create an entirely new person and put myself in a completely different pair of shoes than my own?

This has gotten a little of topic. Related but different than what I was orrigionally trying to get accross. I am refering to the Empire as a whole, not specifically the sith lords. Also...
Durring my questing, I have run into several instances where quest NPCs tell me that if you are not human you are a subspeciese. Yes, the Sith Purebloods are a mix of humans and the Origional Sith, but they are still not just human.
The impression that I get is that if you are not pure human then you fall into the "lesser species" catigory. I get this by the commentary made in game. And as you can see, I am not alone.
I also take into account that different story arcs get different input. Even I get different types of reactions from different NPCs.
But multiple times I have had an Imperial officer NPC tell that the Empire only tolerates non-humans and that if you are not a human you will never measure up. The argument that Sith Purebloods are part human so fall into the human catigory seems bogus to me. Mix breeds are most often seen as less "worthy" than others and discriminated against even more, both in real life and in the Star Wars expanded Universe.
Also, please don't act like this is some vicious attack on BioWare. I am not trying to invade your home and destroy your familly. Just trying to spark a conversation based on something that I see as a story flaw. This story is not perfect and never will be. BioWare has made that claim themselves. Mainly because they are experienced and know what they are talking about. So, please lay off the angriness.
This is not that hard to figure out. Sith purebloods are the exception to the rule.
Of course they are not human, the name pureblood doesn't even begin to make sense if you consider their origins. But that's how it is, the Pureblods are the exception, they are the best because they have the blood of True Sith, that's all there is to it.
Is it really that surprising to find hypocrisy in the Empire?
-
Or the are planning a surprise party like that NPC on Dromund Kaas.........
That turned out well, didn't it?
-
Buy gifts, problem solved.
-
Proof from somewhere that isnt a wiki written by star wars fans?
You're right, obviously real Jedi invented the styles so Lucas could film them.
-
I wouldn't be unhappy if one came out, but I'd rather see the ToR team focus on making this game as good as it can be.
The game has barely come out and already people are throwing fits, what happened to patience and basic reasoning skills? I refuse to believe everyone playing is five years old, but that is what it seems like if the forums are any indication.
I will be patient, I believe this game has enormous potential given time and I am willing to show my support and give it the time it needs as long as I keep enjoying the game. I have 8 class stories to get through before the game really runs out of content, I'm willing to wait and see where this goes, rather than throwing a hissy fit and quitting because a new game isn't perfect.
-
Ongree maybe?
You are correct.
At first I figured they were mutated Rakata, seeing as I first came across them on Nar Shaddaa, but a quick glimpse at that article confirms that what I was was in fact a group of Ongree.
For reference, here is the article on Rakata:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rakata
Aside from both species having their eyes situated on stalks protruding from the sides of their heads, they're really not all that similar.
-
Because they are unnecessary. The Force doesn't need to be explained, doing so only takes away the sense of mystery and power to it. Instead, the Force is basically just germs. It didn't need to be explained and the explanation was poorly executed.
Could those GSF suits be put in collections?
