why would malgus mention some whimpy jedi chick who left her master to die and didnt even put up that much of a fight?

"you are wise to keep such close tabs on me" - scourge. "don't make me go against my teachings" - ashara

i tend to agree. but overall i think republic has the better choices where both choices actually make sense. alot of the empires darkside choices are just goofy over the top murder for the sake of murder and i find that extremely boring.

its very subjective. people say the jedi knight has one of the best stories (along with the agent) and the consular has the worst. though...i personally like the consular story alot more than the jedi knights for example. its mostly about personal taste. a short summery of each story without any real spoilers (well as much as i know, if im wrong in these someone correct me). Jedi Knight - "i gotta save the world! i gotta save the world again! guys! i gotta save the world AGAIN! OH NO! i gotta save the entire GALAXYYYYYY!!!!!" Jedi Consular - "gotta help these dudes, gotta help these dudes, gotta kill this dude, gotta work diplomacy with these dudes! gotta get new buddies while tracking down and killing these dudes!!!" Trooper - i dunno, military stuff... Smuggler - "wacky antics! wacky antics! wacky antics! republic! oh more wacky antics!" Sith Warrior - "i'm gonna stomp around being a big ******." Sith inquisitor - "man im at the bottom of the ladder. errand boy time! i'm rising the ladder! uh oh! stuff happened! yay i win!" Agent - "i'm james bond, jack bauer, and jason borne with an unconvincing and really soft sounding british accent doing stuffs for people. and fighting space terrorists" Bounty Hunter - "i bounty hunt for jabba the hutt to finance my vette"

well sith are very passionate people. i would assume they would flip out. prone to domestic abuse. all that jazz. im sure theres some that would save their family out of their own sacrifice. but one thing ive noticed, most sith are extremely greedy and self centered. i would think most sith would gladly kill their own family if it benefited them. obviously this doesnt apply to all sith, but just most.

i roleplay my jedi as a guy trying real hard to be good, but still has a darkside that he falls to from time to time. (i'm roughly 2/3rds light, 1/3rd dark.) i actually really like it, since it makes those darkside choices you make more impactful when they're rare and far between. mine has a weakness for the ladies and tends to kill people who anger him. but most of the time other than that he's a good guy. he WANTS to be a good upstanding jedi, but his personal weaknesses get the better of him. i just find that more interesting than a by the books jedi.

yeah, why not be imperial guard? get the cool red armor, doing dirty deeds for the emperor. maybe often times doing stuff behind the councils back. wacky stuff like that.

thats a problem with alot of sci-fi. its not just star wars, but star wars is very guilty of the "this is the desert planet, this is the ice planet, this is the jungle planet, this is the city planet". i think its mostly cus if they say "oh dromund kaas has some deserts, and some tundra and stuff like that in other parts of the planet" people would be all like "i wanna go there!" so they just leave it one setting per planet, but yeha, its totally not realistic.

if anything, the sith inquisitor is portrayed as the least powerful of any of the force using classes. he's gotta cheat to win when any other force class would just have a fair fight.

Skotia was a rival. not her master. he was a darth that had a grudge against Zash for a reason i cant remember, i know its stated but i cant remember why. he was basically blocking her from being promoted to a Darth so zash needed to take skotia out so she can advance in rank. Thanaton isn't either of their masters either, but he's a "higher ranked darth" than either of them. sith ranks are kinda vague actually if you think about it.

sentinels will do more damage. guardians do respectable damage, but can also tank so they have more options available to you. seems to be a flood of sentinels lately if that makes a difference. sentinels are more complex to play, which can be a good or a bad thing. personally i like guardians more because they're very "stompy" you could pick up a red crystal the moment you hit the fleet, grabbing it off the GTN. if the saber crystal is important to you from an RP perspective, or just preference, then i'd recommend picking up artifice (and its supporting skills) so you can keep your lightsaber in top shape, and make your own red crystals.

yeah, the end game sets look terrible. but thats not something thats unique to the inquisitor. almost ALL the sets look terrible for every single class. i think t he trooper and bounty hunter are the only ones that dont get stupid and goofy looking armor sets, because you cant mess up armor like that too much. anything that COULD be over stylized did get over stylized. inquisitors got weird birdman robes. jedi knights apparently turn into space power ranger samurai. smugglers all start wearing thigh high boots and capes. consulars wear giant banana peels on their shoulders basically end-game all the sets look absolutely HORRIBLE. it ruins the star wars feel and theme. none of it looks practical or realistic. HOWEVER. i will say, the lower level inquisitor gear looks great. most non-endgame gear looks pretty good actually. why they thought thye had to go super over the top with all the endgame sets is beyond me cus they all look terrible.

i hate what the prequels and books did to yoda. instead of being a simple wise old sage mentor type. he's now a stupid over the top mary sue. super ultra force power. apparently master of all lightsaber styles. its SO stupid.

jaesa is the ONLY companion in the entire game with multiple alignments. changing asharas alignment basically goes against the entire point of her character. if you actually analyze the sith inquisitors story its obvious it was written with a lightside sith in mind. i wont get into details since this isn't the spoiler forum, but pretty much everyone's motivations (your characters, your crews, your enemies and your allies) are clearer and make more sense if you're lightside sith. she meshes perfectly with that. aside from that. it seems ridiculous for them to rerecord allt he dialogue, and add in a completely new story arc for a character that was never intended for that purpose. she's there to give you another point of view. to be the person you debate jedi/sith philosophies with. not for a random forced romance.

thats the dumbest line of thinking ive ever heard. thats like saying everyone in africa should be culled because theres been alot of horrible dictators in africa. its ridiculous. not to mention theres hundreds if nto thousands of years between those guys, yeah lets ignore all the good jedi do cus they COULD turn into a bad guy. ridiculous thread is ridiculous.

its not encouraged, but its not like they'll hunt you down if you do. the only time they step in is when stuff starts going bad. like if a jedi got secretly married to someone, then 5 - 10 years later the council finds out, but you're still a perfectly fine jedi who's not falling to the dark side or anything, i doubt they'd do anything about it. maybe yell at you a bit. its better to look at the jedi code and rules more like guidelines than strict rules you must follow.

i found most choices light/dark on republic to be alot more interesting and entertaining. they' are actual moral choices with justified reasons for both. on empire most of the time it was Dark = kill this dude for no reason, but you're evil right? so kil lhim even though it makes no sense in context with the story and quest. Light = let the guy live and he'll help the empire. lets compare a corescant and dromund kaas quests, one of the first nonclass light/dark choices you make on them. on dromund kaas theres a slave rebellion, you can either poison the slaves so they die long agonizing deaths making the rebellion last weeks longer or you can poison them so they die instantly, they don't suffer and it breaks the rebellion much quicker. why would you make them die slower? to prolong the rebellion? making more imperial soldiers die trying to stop it? slowing down construction and production on the imperial captial? just to be a jerk? its stupid. now compared to an early corescant quest. you find out a senator has been ripping off a very rich criminal cartel and has been using the money to reconstruct slums and damaged areas of corescant for the poor. the cartel got mad and started a riot, took over a sector and tried terrorist bombing the senate tower. granted it went bad, but she had good intentions. do you expose her crimes and make her step down? or do you sweep it under the rug and allow her to continue to help people? this is a much more difficult choice to make as arguments could be made for both sides. empire choices tend to be. doing the smart and/or right thing, vs. doing the cruel, violent and unnecessary (often times also dumb) thing. republic choices tend to be doing the right thing vs. doing the pragmatic thing. so its alot more interesting when you get to those choices. also before you say im biased i play both factions, my highest character is actually a sith assassin.

ive used my fleet pass a grand total of like 2, MAYBE 3 times and ive been playing since release. most of the time its easier to quick travel to the fleet shuttle on the planet and taking that over to the fleet. takes...oh, 10 seconds longer?

in objective games isn't that good? having the players fight over objectives? am i missing something? the challenge of capping a point or a door in TOR isn't capping it, its getting past all the enemy players. its not hacking at a door for 5 minutes. i dont think you thought this post out much lol

my money is on dooku. sure he had a dumb name, but he was a cool slick old dude with a quick slashy saber. maul was too flashy and it got him killed. dooku wouldnt slash sparks at someone hanging, he'd just force push them off their handhold and walk away. probably to get a nice glass of brandy.

Vader. because he's vader. Yoda is the most overrated and stupid character in the entire star wars franchise. him even being a great fighter goes against the entire point of his character and personality. i will never accept him being a "great fighter" as canon. thats silly and stupid. its as stupid as the movie "Batman and Robin" where george clooney pulls out a bat credit card. when yoda pulled out a lightsaber and started jumping around like a cartoon frog my childhood died.

i really loved boba fett as a kid, but now as an adult i kinda find him goofy. i mean he's super minor in the movies and the rabid fanboyism sorta mary sue'd him into ULTRA BOUNTY HUNTER, so its kinda lame either way.
