  1. The Malavai Quinn character is really well-written overall, which is I think why a lot of people even care about the betrayal scene at all. But I do hope the devs consider tweaking that scene. The snottiness and lack of caring he displays toward the SW in that episode is *not* consistent with the rest of his character (at least not if you've pursued his approval storyline and/or romance). It's also pretty jarring that he's portrayed as such a terrible strategist in that scene (zero percent chance of failure? PLEASE), given that he's so smart and competent in the rest of the story. Since that you can't kill him and that isn't going to change, I hope the writers would consider changing the scene so that fewer players are left *wanting* to kill him. Show him exhibiting some real internal conflict (and change Jaesa's dialogue so that she says something about sensing turmoil and pain within him, rather than nothing but confidence). Change the "zero percent chance of failure" line so that instead he says something like "Believe me, my lord, I am a strategist and I calculated other modes of attack with a higher reward to risk ratio. Poison, or sabotage, or even a shot to the head as you slept. But I felt I owed you this much: to look you in the eyes before you died, and explain myself." Basically, bring his characterization during the betrayal scene more into line with the rest of his story arc. Right now it's really jarring and it doesn't work with the romance progression at *all*. The betrayal should come off as a cool twist with a big emotional payoff, not a scene that just leaves players fuming and ready to abandon their characters.
  2. Yeah, I have to say, I really have a problem with the Quinn betrayal. Not that he does it -- although I would be happier if affection were taken into account, and a Quinn with maxed approval would back down at the last moment. That would be a nice way of making the player's actions and choices matter. But at the VERY LEAST, a Quinn who is MARRIED to the SW should exhibit some genuine remorse and anguish. (NOT "Kinda regret this, lolz, but u die now." More along the lines of "I cannot change what I am, but I want you to know that a piece of me will die with you today." Something heartfelt. And there should be more of a resolution afterwards. My SW is only level 41 and the betrayal hasn't happened yet, but I've watched videos. Honestly, I haven't played SWTOR for a week, since I discovered what was going to happen. It may sound silly, but I am seriously considering dropping my subscription at this point, and not coming back until the Quinn romance gets sorted out. What's the point in continuing my story progression if it's just going to end with my *husband* shrugging off our entire relationship? I know the SW is evil and all, but my epic Sith passion deserves better.
  3. Ha, I'm so pleased that I'm not the only obsessive nerd who cares about this. Thanks for finding the fix!
