I was at a Community Cantina once and it was mentioned that the most hilarious dialogue from the Bounty Hunter missions comes from Gault. When I first took a look at the BH companions I admit I didn't make too much of him and Mako seems deeply connected to the class storyline (as are most of the classes' first companions). Who do you take with you and why? Asking not just from an efficiency/survivability standpoint - all reasons are welcome.

Just starting out as an agent and debating AC/roles for a little later down the road and wondered what companions you enjoy having with you for the different specs/roles. From leveling a DPS Sorcerer and Shadow I found that while I could try to play with nearly every companion but if I was purely DPS the ranged tanks tended to die quickly. I have tried to avoid any spoilers but the enigmatic SCORPIO seems like a great companion to have - can she cruise around with Operatives or is she best for Snipers?

***Mild Plot Spoilers*** Actually no, you will encounter a major villain at the end of the first act that will put an end to the plague storyline. The adversaries you face later in the game are sleeper agents so the theme of possession continues but you are, for the most part, not expected or encouraged to heal them

Whew, very relieved. I'm probably influenced by my experiences in other MMOs with people critiquing class specialization in random groups.

Really, really loving the customization features added to the game. I tend to make strong RP choices for my characters and I like that customization will help them progress. Also I tend to AGONIZE over every detail when creating a character and it's nice to know I can change my mind When I created my Consular I thought he was a little too vanilla so I gave him a scar. In my "head canon" he received it after his first fight with a Sith. Now if I played him again I could start off with a smooth face and add the scar at the right moment. Similarly with a Mirialan I think it would be interesting to add tattoos at key growth points in the story. Also the first time I went through the Tatooine storyline I thought it wold have been interesting to give a character one of the "sunburn" complexions just for the planet. I would probably never give a character a permanent sunburn but like that customization gives me the chance to mess around and give a character a five o'lccok shadow and some dirt on an especially war-torn world. Thanks Bioware!

Hello all, second complete newb Knight question of the day. I started a knight and was torn between leveling as Mirialan male or female. I'm pretty balanced in terms of gender among my classes. I started with a female. My idea for this character is that s/he is at time brash and unmerciful to Sith and Imperial vanquished foes but ultimately a Light Side warrior. I liked both of the voices - I did wonder if the female voice might be just a little too sweet. I know nothing about romance other than my options are Kira and Doc... do people have strong feelings about the two of them? Oh and before someone posts the "whose butt would you rather stare at as you level?" I will just say that really isn't something I consider for my characters.

It's funny I went through the same thing. At first I was annoyed that my companion for so much of the game was a guy who didn't speak basic and didn't like my Neutral aligned Sorcerer. Here is my advice to you: Take Ashara with you on Planetary Missions and Khem Val on your class Missions. Like you I enjoyed having Ashara as my "apprentice" because she made me feel like "See a Sith can do what she likes and not be a psycho." Most of Khem's interaction comes in during your class quests. He really is deeply tied to your character's journey. Also be sure to alternate grabbing gear for the two of them.

Hi all, COMPLETELY new to knights here and I have a question about selecting Advanced classes. My goal for my knight is just to play through the storyline and have fun, I'm not planning on having this character be my main or do any sort of Operations. Here's my thing: I really like the iconic look/feel of a Jedi wielding one lightsaber. I know that the two saber style looks cool, and I even got used to the saberstaff on my Consular. I also have no special interest in tanking... so I imagined that I would level as a DPS guardian and just not be the favorite person in the occasional flashpoint I do. Is leveling a DPS guardian fun? Has anyone enjoyed themselves doing this?

My apologies for causing confusion. The reason I titled this thread: Darth Titles was because I (incorrectly) assumed that the Darth Whateveris title given by the Dark Council would be available form my dropdown menu. When I took my Inquisitor to Makeb she was greeted in the cinematic as Darth Imperious (I completely missed it the first time) so apparently being Light Side I qualifies you for Imperious. At some RP level I think I was hoping I was neutral enough to be Occulus but: As someone pointed out in this thread it ultimately does not make a big difference. My playstyle that resulted in being Light I (favoring order over psychotic rage) fits the title of Imperious. And I see that in terms of gameplay it would be awkward to let multiple Inquisitors have the same title (there were three of us in the last flashpoint I ran). Big thanks to those in this thread that cleared that up.

*possible spoilers* Hi all, I noticed that there were three titles one might receive upon completing the Inquisitor storyline dependent on your moral alignment. I played fairly close to neutral most of the way through but finished the storyline with Thanaton at Light Side I. I didn't see any of the titles available to me, is that because I wasn't light enough to be Imperious or truly neutral enough to be Occulus?

There are opportunities. The one that first springs to mind is that you are always given the chance to show mercy to a defeated foe. Perhaps your consular takes betrayal very badly and offs all of your opponents. Also pre-battle conversations with enemies often have a "Shut up and die" option. You are generally not going to go ballistic at the general populace of quest givers - the consular is mystical and intellectual so his unfriendly choices with those characters will be more in the realm of "I can't believe how simple-minded you are"

I quite assuredly did not, but clearly should have picked "This is inappropriate" when I had the chance. Doing a bit of research I found a number of people who also stumbled into the romance or were confused as to whether or not they weer actually married after the final Nadia mission. In contrast I feel like my female Inquisitor was given the option to turn down marriage in the end.

Hi all, not sure if this is the correct spot for a suggestion but here goes. I managed to accidentally end up with my companion (Nadia). I never chose a flirt option or anything else that seemed to me to be romantic but - my bad, totally walked right into that one. I was really hoping there would be an option to call it quits but seemingly all toads lead to marriage. So I'm stuck with one last companion mission to complete with Nadia but I'm not going to finish it as I don't wish to marry her. I remember there was quite a bit of talk around the SGRAs about making sure they were completely intentional - and that always struck me as odd because I assumed you had to pick [flirt] to initiate something like that. Would love to have the option to end a relationship in the game.

That is so incredibly irritating. All the talk about SGRAs involved making sure players didn't accidentally instigate something but I'm stuck marrying Nadia? I guess I just have to leave the mission permanently unfinished.

Possible spoilers I would suppose OK so I've gone along with everything, trying to pick the least romantic options and I have managed to end up at the Mission where my choices are: 1. Marry me 2. No more poems then? 3. No words are necessary I know options 1 and 3 end up with me married to Nadia... is option 2 a way out? I don't want to marry her.

Love the pets in the game, some of them are quite adorable but what got me really excited was the Kowakian Monkey Lizard as I would very much like for one of my characters to have their own Salacious Crumb following them around. one reason for being excited about the little guy is that I recognize where he came from. as opposed to say the womp weasel. So my question: what pets from the films, tv series, or EU would you like for your characters. I think my bounty hunter would be happy to have a nexu cub a la Amelia in Fate of the Jedi. Maybe a mynock?

Not sure if someone else stated this but you cannot sell them right away. There is a time period during which they are bound to you. My apologies if you already knew that I was having a hard time determining if you meant you did not find a buyer or thought you were literally unable to sell.

Regarding languages: In the first film Luke does not understand R2-D2 (C-3PO has to translate everything) and Chewbacca. By The Empire Strikes Back he has sepnt time with R2 and Chewbacca and understands both of them. For your second question: In-universe answer: R2's memory was not wiped and Obi-Wan, typically playing things close to his chest, does not reveal that he knows who R2 is as it might lead to uncomfortable questions about Anakin. This universe answer: While Lucas said that the only characters who would appear in all 9 of his originally planned films were R2 and 3PO, I'm not certain he knew at that time that Ob-Wan and R2-D2 would know each other.

My advice around creating a grey Jedi is to decide ahead of time how your character reacts in certain situations - and allow for change as you progress and develop. This is what I did with my Sorcerer, deciding what her motivations and temperment would be rather than trying to hit a certain number of good an evil responses. The main things to plan for ahead of time will be: Is your character usually merciful to their enemies? Is your character especially sympathetic to others' emotions? Does your character believe in sacrificing civilians' safety if it means a victory for the Republic? Is there something from your (head canon) past that will affect their choices? Some sort of taboo (i.e. something that will affect their dealings with aliens, criminals, people of a certain gender). By that last one I mean it can be interesting to decide that your character, normally compassionate to enemies, will not play nice with anyone connected to the Hutt cartels. My female Inquisitor was averse to killing other women, with only a few specific exceptions that she still felt uncomfortable with. Playing neutral can be very interesting and varied. Power-hungry types can still be gracious to those around them (Palpatine). Doers of good can be stern and unyielding (Mace Windu).

Ugh I just stepped into that as well. I thought "this is inappropriate" was too harsh. Is there any way to break up?

Hey all I'm wondering if I accidentally put myself on an irreversible path with Nadia. I was careful to never choose flirt options with her but she told me "I like you, do you know that?" and my choices were: 1. I feel the same 2. Of course 3. This is inappropriate. Choice three seemed harsh I was hoping 2 was neutral, but my consular said something to the effect of "I was wondering which of us would say it first." Gah, convo choice ambiguity! Clearly though I should have seen this coming when I picked that. So my question is, am I stuck in a romance with her or will I have a future opportunity to say "Can't we be friends?"

I think one thing that was overlooked in the first post and mentioned only briefly after, when Vivicar says "All the masters he infected will die" he is referring to a large number he has infected that the Consular hasn't encountered yet, not just the handful the Consular shielded/killed. The confusion makes sense as that sounds like Yuon should die in this scenario but Vivicar's statement should probably be interpreted as: "All the masters I have plagued that you have not shielded will die if you kill me."

Interesting that you both mention the connection between Advanced Class and story. When I played my Sith Sorcerer and the story began to involve doing rituals to communicate with and control dead spirits I thought "I just don't think this would fit if i had chosen to be an Assassin." I had intended my Agent to be Dark Side from a lethal/efficient rather than evil/psychopath POV. I imagined that would fit best with a sniper but when playing I found myself picking Light Side more than I had intended. I've decided that my agent is still getting used to being ruthless, for example the first time I was told to eliminate someone I had been working with I tried to get them to see reason and cooperate (though ultimately offed them).

Hey all, why not have another "Which Adv Class thread?" I'm not interested in which is "better" or does the most DPS (I plan to just DPS with mine). I'm most interested in hearing people who are happy with their choice weigh in on what they enjoy about their class. Abilities you find fun or companion combinations you especially liked, anything at all. In other MMOs I have only ever been ranged damage (which is why my first character to level was a Sorcerer) but I've started to enjoy melee a bit with my Shadow.
