The Imperial accents in this game are sexy, and the BH sounds like Clint f'ckin Eastwood. 'nuff said.

Ehhhh, but the Cold War irl wasn't between WW1 and WW2. This one was basically a continuous conflict, especially considering all the crap the two sides to do each other during the 3-ish years of Acts 1 and 2...

jedi poweeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr!

Chronologically, it's: Vanilla (including Black Hole) -> Ilum -> Makeb/CZ -> Oricon -> Forged Alliances -> SoR -> Whatever's coming up... Ilum and Makeb are just for fun, really, and Oricon was the best way to gear yourself for 55 pre-3.0. Now, the whole RotHC is more like a nice, easy, way to group up and make money. The Makeb story on both factions is pretty good, though. SoR is mandatory, and Alliances is the sort of force-fed prelude to it.

The space-cowboy we get during early access. Also in the "Return" trailer.

I was really confused why this was such a big deal... And then I played Mass Effect... And then Dragon Age... Oh, and KotOR And, um, yeah... Why was this not something in the game from the start?

Yes please.

For the love of god, give us Malgus' armor. It's just the Raider stuff with a cape attached.

Hmmmmmmm.... Smuggler - - Risha: My Captain's lady. Keeping her forever. - Nico: Would be fun to have around with the crazy Serenity-like vibe the Voidhound's story has had so far. The only problem is that I'd never bring T7 onto any of my ships ever again. Whiny, cantankerous, little box of metal. - Tyresius: Would be awesome to have on my ship and interacting (even just a little bit) with Risha, Nico, and HK-51. I love that guy. - Tanno (if they still have him, now): Would be nice to have in a crew of pirates. Dude would finally be in his rightful niche among the gods of piratical-ness rather than with the bunch of f'cking pariahs Havoc turned themselves into. - Vacant... Warrior - - Vette: One of the romances I enjoyed the most. Wrath's skinny little blue wife is staying. Despite the fact that having Risha and her together again would be interesting... Screw that. Wrath needs his girl. - Scourge: How ****** would it be to have two former Emperor's Wraths on the same ship? Also, giving somebody else for Jaesa to whine at would be nice. Also, my Wrath would hopefully buy the poor bastard some space-Rogaine. - Jaesa: Because, although she annoys me to no end, she still ICly grew on my Wrath and she's gotta be the one to watch his and Vette's little blue-and-red kids. - Eh, vacant... Maybe Pierce, though, because I love that guy. Inq - - Ashara: Another romance I actually enjoyed quite a bit. Also, the poor woman has her grandpa floating around Nox's ship. I mean, am I really going to split up their little total-lack-of-acknowledgement family those three have going on. - Khem: Gimmie my goddamn Dashade He's my almost-cuddly evil bro. Also, I think he has a thing for Zash, and I won't take that away from him. - Lokin: MAD SCIENTISTS UNITE! - Talos: Fits in nicely with everybody I picked, and I think seeing him and Lokin interact with Khem would be awesome. - Vacant... Hunter - - Mako: She's like my FemChamp's sister, and she's been the only thing keeping her sweet Chissy a*s alive all through the Great Hunt. She stays. - Blizz: My tech expert and the dude who builds the best toys. The Jawa is my teddy bear forever. - Torian: I have a serious love/hate relationship with this annoying kid, but I'd still keep him, since we went through all that sh*t together. - Akaavi: Somebody hot for Torian to speak Mando'a at. Also, she'd probably get along with the Champ, if not Mako. More muscle is always good, but I wish she wasn't melee >_< - Tharan and Holiday: Another tech dude, and somebody for Mako to chat about slicing with. Bonus points because Tharan is better eye candy for the Champ than Torian could ever be. Holiday and Mako would have so much fun mucking about on the Holonet together. Haven't played through much of the other four, but I can tell you that my Cipher's keeping his Kaliyo and Lord Bugboy, and my Knight is keeping Kira and Doc, and maybe Rusk.

Another smuggler one: Voidhound: Well, this sucks. I've lost my wife, my ship, and probably my criminal empire. Random Merc: That does sound bad, but I've still got to take you in. Void: No you don't. *Reaches for his hat* Merc: Yes, I do. You're worth a great deal of money. Void: I know how amazing I am. Merc: Yeah, so if you could just let me freeze you, that'd be great. Void: *spins his hat on his finger* Merc: What're you doing? Void: *puts the hat on and grabs his guns* Merc: Hey! None of that, a*shole. *raises his rifle to the Hound's face* Void: Merc: What in the actual f'ck are you doing? Void: *Gut-shoots him* Distractions.

And may they never change it. F'cking quick-traveling to planets when you start them breaks immersion a hell of a lot.

Can't you get it from some of the seeker droid targets somewhere?

Erm, okaaay... OP is a bit of a douche, and feels entitled. OP, upon thee I bestow the title of Entitled Douchebag. May you revel in it forever. Anyway... This means that BioWare is going back to a story style that they've shown they're good with. Sure, it might be basically a copy of the exposition of Mass Effect 2, but that's okay. That was a well done game. Most of my problems with the new expansion is that I've gotten attached to the characters in the current timeline, and I seriously hope that they're all still okay when our characters wake up...

Fabizan?

I'm seriously hoping that Nico, and a few other major characters, were deus ex machina'd as-is into the timeskip. Most of them would be really old, after all. Already, I'm a little sad because our romanced companions will *probably* have been waiting around for us for 20-ish years...

Poor... all of them... My warrior will just stab the hell out of whoever took Vette

I'd say 5-10 years. Lana doesn't look like she aged enough for a timeskip much bigger than that.

Random Merc #1: Who's the cowboy with the shiny guns? We should steal 'em. Merc #2: Absolutely... *turns to yell at the cowboy* GIVE US YOUR F*CKIN' STUFF. Voidhound: Um, no. Merc #1: I have news for you, idiot. We're the hottest sh*t around, and you're screwed- Voidhound: *shoots him in the face* I'm the damn Voidhound. No hotter sh*t than me can exist.

Yes. Do it, my child. Also, a lot of the BH armor looks better on female chars.

Aight, thanks. Would still be nice, though. Costs for ripping mods are disgusting later on.

Quinn and Skadge clearly have things that Corso doesn't... Like stationary jaw bones... And brains... And y'know, like, well-paying jobs.

SW is pretty close to (imo) the first KotOR.

TK, mostly because you can eventually levitate yourself with practice.

Ah, okay... I thought you were whining about the datacrons not being dramatically increased. My mistake. Wish I could find them all for the lore entries, really.

LS Warrior kicks Light Jaesa off the ship indefinitely until she finally bangs somebody. Pierce and Quinn are dropped off on Nar Shaddaa, where Pierce beats laughter and innuendo into Quinn's skull until the stick comes out of his ***. Knight and Kira kick everybody else off the ship and get their sexy time. Doc is allowed to sneak back on before they take off to somewhere with ******s and blackjack. Scourge is also allowed back onboard on the condition that he needs to actually utilize said ******s and blackjack when they get there. Rusk gets his own action movies, which T7 is forced to watch. Nox, Andro, and Khem find themselves doing and Ashara looks on with fascination. Kallig looks away from Zash's ghost in the Mind Trap long enough to ask the girl what the hell exactly turned her insane enough to marry Nox in the first place. Talos walks off to go find somebody less insane. Maybe Jaesa will be allowed back onto Wrath's ship sooner than they thought.
