Exactly what happened to me. Might have been welcome to have this happen after 10 fights that bugged the other way, but not on the very first try. *Major* letdown.
My smuggler is wearing a coat that looks like the cademimu sharpshooter jacket but is boe. Here is a screenie. (if you add it to the first post, you're welcome to upload it to an image hosting site somewhere) Other visible gear used is: (orange) TH-05A Operative Gloves and TD-05B Spec Ops Leggins (blue) RD-05A Sniper Belt and TD-05A Marksman Boots (the boots are crafted)
All of you are talking about a fight that never happened for me. Extremely anti-climatic figthing for 1 second, then seeing the guy sitting on his throne defeated...
Did this 2 days ago
I was prepared for a big fight yesterday with this guy, had a consular friend with me, and as soon as the fight starts, it ends with him sitting on his trone. *MAJOR* letdown. Bug free this game is not.
