My Marauder is completely Light Sided. I rationalize/roleplay it as follows: In her opinion, the Sith code makes sense: Passion is good, strength (of character) is good, and the quest for inner strength builds character, thus setting you free (obviously, this is not the interpretation of the code most Sith adhere to). Thing is...She just wishes other people didn't treat the code as a license to be raging jerks. In her mind, sure, the Sith code invites you to seek strength...but that doesn't mean you should oppress the weak. Other way around: If you're strong, you are supposed to protect the weak, and teach them to seek strength themselves. ...So, obviously, she's completely heretical.

I'm halfway through the second chapter. So far? I'm enjoying the whole thing. I deliberately tried to make my Trooper a clone of my Commander Shepard, and I'm basically having her be "Captain America in space!" (so, Light Side all the way. My Shepard was Paragon, obviously.) I'm enjoying the story. I'm enjoying the feeling that I'm turning the tide and giving the Republic the advantage against the Empire (granted, only some of that is the actual writing, and the rest is me filling the blanks. But I do that with every game). As for companions...I like Jorgan, love Elara, and think Forex is totally awesome (wish I could take him with me on missions, but since I'm a tank...); Vik, well...Let's say I tolerate Vik.

X-Wing means a lot to me. It's the game that, essentially, made me a PC gamer. It was also my first introduction to the Star Wars universe, before I even watched the movies. TIE Fighter? Was even better. One of the best games of its era. X-Wing vs TIE Fighter...OK, I'll have to agree to disagree with others on this one. I was immensely disappointed with it. Felt it lacked the atmosphere of the first two. Never got to play X-Wing: Alliance, but I'm still holding out hope someday...

My companion won't talk to me in the Coruscant cantina, so I have to take him to the Fleet each time. (Hopefully I'll be getting my ship soon.)
