Did you do the "to find a findsman" quest? The other companion alert quests might not appear if you haven't done that first one

Why would the only option for the story be either brief and low level grunt work and an anticlimactic hike and fighting and capturing Malgus yet again OR "the same story for both sides" We could have had two separate versions of an actual good and relevant story.

I'll take 20 minutes of cutscenes and 1-2 hours of gameplay per month over 55 minutes of cutscenes and 3 hours of grind per 14 months...

Zasha Ranken is the Imperial Admiral you can rescue from Arcann's ship (choosing between her, Tai Cordan the president of Balmorra or the Zakuulan singer who's name I can't remember right now) she also sends you stronghold emails lol Such a memorable character I know

Both versions of Manaan felt like irrelevant filler to me. We saved one shipment of kolto, whoop-dee-do...Then Elom was super short and anticlimactic. I can't believe we waited a year for this.

Onderon, Mek Sha, and Corellia combined are 1.5 hours if you only count the cutscenes, not the gameplay. Since I record the cutscenes of all my playthroughs I went and checked. Manaan and Elom combined have about 45 minutes of cutscenes not counting the trailer with the Twi'lek Padawan.

I doubt she even knows this game exists, the games seem to be beneath Disney Lucasfilm's notice

How can they even call this an expansion though? It's so short and irrelevant and the flashpoint gives us no choice/player agency

Or another year and 2 months and it will be 2 minutes long and mostly Lana

Long enough to feature plenty of Lana as always...

I thought this was supposed to be an expansion, did all the money go into making that admittedly awesome CGI trailer? Is Arcann just randomly dead somewhere or was he Thanos snapped out of existence? I don't usually make threads at all let alone ones complaining but what the heck? So much messing with things that didn't need "fixing", so many resources poured into that and the story takes a backseat...Unless I'm missing something and the real expansion is going to be released one chapter at a time per month like KotFE was, what's the point of this? We wait another year for another 55 minutes of cutscenes and 3 hours of trash mobs and more Lana with none of the other love interests or companions? This is just depressing -_-

Maybe someone playing Republic side can tell me if Arcann makes an appearance on that side because there was no hint of him on the imperial side despite sending him on the mission, not even a mention.

Just finished it on Imperial side (saboteur) and Theron (and Arcann despite sending him on the mission) is nowhere to be seen...plenty of Lana though X_X

Works for me! As long as she's gone, I don't care if it's through death or simply her putting in a job resignation or something.

LMAO YES "She's like a secretary I can't fire who stalks me everywhere" is such a good analogy XD man, one of our previous companions coming back instead of Lana would be so amazing but so unlikely due to her status as writer's pet even just us plus the temporary faction companion would be a million times better. A "Virmire" choice involving Lana would be the most amazing late Christmas present ever <3

You haven't upset me, the devs have and a murder hobo is someone who just wants to mindlessly kill every character they see. The people who demanded to kill all the companions and who *****ed when companions they killed showed up in a generalized trailer.

You do realize that was BioWare's decision in the first place right? I guess the murder hobos are the only ones who should be catered to though (unless it comes to precious princess Lana), they're the reason we will never see most of our beloved former companions in the story again regardless of whether we killed them or not.

Don't worry, we have Lana shoved down our throats yet again, isn't that enough for you? Don't you just love the perfect waifu BioWare's writers have forced on you? Yeah, this definitely took all the wind out of my sails. The only thing that could make me happy about this trailer is if going into this temple was a one way trip for Lana.

More faces would be amazing, especially for species like Twi'leks that have slightly different versions of the same 3 faces or Sith Purebloods who have different variations of one single face :/

If you can't figure out how to play it, you can watch me play

I'm not sure about it one way or another. There are certain dialogue options that I remember from years ago but haven't been able to find again. Some dialogue options that used to be easier/more natural to get are gated behind alignment. They were gated before but to a much lesser extent. Now you have to farm those DS/LS points through flashpoints/sidequests or crafting/diplomacy missions to get certain dialogue where before you just had to play the class story as either DS or LS up to that point.

Because seeing someone's ugly face and going mad is totes realistic...

I have no problem with characters acting/reacting to our characters in stupid ways, I would just like the option to respond appropriately. For example being able to bring up the fact that we've beaten Malgus twice when NPCs start hand wringing or fawning over him, calling out Heta Kol for throwing goons to do her dirty work and then running from a fight, etc...I do have to roll my eyes every time some weak grunt tries to challenge our famously super powerful character. It makes sense for jedi masters, sith lords, and other powerful seasoned fighters to try their hand but some random fresh private or padawan or 2 bit mercenary? Lol no. You haven't been "trained to kill Sith/Jedi" you're weak fodder and you suck. It's actually refreshing when said weak grunts know what kind of danger you are to them and try to surrender or run.

Yes yes yes! And even to Arcann

I LOVE the rare instances when this happens, I would legitimately pay money for more of them lol. There are so many not only wonky issues with lack of recognition (as others have mentioned, people explaining what Cathar are to a Cathar PC, etc...) but also missed opportunities that would just add a little something extra. For example the Trooper class story on Coruscant has you take down a rogue cyborg creator who has been kidnapping people and turning them into cyborgs against their will and none of them know who is a cyborg or not, they use disparaging remarks about "cyborg freaks" and such but none of them, not the builder, the victims, Jorgan, or Garza have any comment on YOU being a cyborg if you are one. The builder could have taunted you or claimed he'd be able to override your cybernetics, the victims could have been afraid of you or regretted what they said through the door, your comrades could have questioned your conviction against other cyborgs, etc...something!
