So this is why I been struggling with the Eternal Championship on my SW... I remember finish it the first time with a lv 30 companion healing me a few years back with my main, but when I return with a lv 50 al of a sudden the companion cant keep up. (Now that I think about it, I also had more abilities too that help, maybe that could also be?) Hmmm I guess I should stop playing and save me the pain until things become more stable or I'm able to get my full gear on SW (legendary gear). If it never gets fix I guess Ill have to force myself to ask for help to finish it lol... yeah, yeah I know its an MMO, I have no problem socializing its just that I was roleplaying it... Thank you for the post, Ill wait a while before I try this again.

I was surprise to find out the they took of so early the "Legacy of the Sith: Digital Collector's Edition", specially after the long delays in the 10th anniversary... I really thought they go all out on this expansion for sure. A shame I miss it too... Fingers cross for 7.1 hopefully we get a tons of content, although I'm keeping my expectations very close to ground level just incase. (I'm coping alright don't judge me! Joking lol)

I have to agree I was surprise for this... in a good way. I didn't think the Dev team would be so bold to add such an unexpected romance into the mix! Still I am worried its just going to stay forgotten like so many others... Hmmm, then again I got this weird e-mail about a ritual before he gives in... If I remember correctly? You don't think it has something to do with Zach body switching or some side effect?! I really wish this romance system would be expanded a little more... so its not so... limited. (IMO) PS: Not that I'm complaining, its great we even have this in an MMO... I have not encountered anything like this in online games, not just romance but the whole story itself and the cinematics with so many CHOICES!

Oh wow I would love tattoos, I like the idea! Hmmm but maybe they should add a skin option just like companions have...maybe? So you can wear your favorite clothing cosmetics with the tattoos... (IMO). I guess they could just add it to character customization too... specially if its more detail with different options on tattoo or piercing. (IMO)

Oh wow this is true... I already had Veteran and Master by the time this started to happened but it WILL definitely impact seriously, any attempts to do these difficulties for a player that makes the mistake of taking away these Temp/dead companion weapons! Thank you for bringing that up. Ill edit my post. You always have something insightful to add thanks. I always enjoy reading your post. Glad your still around SteveTheCynic hope you and yours are doing well!

Wow thanks for bringing those up... it really worries me that so much are still not fix. Hmmm, I wonder how long its community would take to fix these with Mods... if this was a Single Player game like Skyrim, Sims, Dragon Age Inquisition, etc... Then again if its an engine limitation this could be a challenge. I would not even mind if we get community cosmetics approve by the Dev team into the game for purchase... like in Warframe. Ahhh one can only dream. Anyway, thanks for posting those other bugs... fingers cross, that at some point these will be look at.

Hello, I created tickets for these and was referred and encourage to post it here because I was told the "Development team actively monitor our forum and are constantly looking for feedback from our players". I was referred this link for posting. So, here goes: These visual bugs only persist after as you replay the chapters of KOTFE... 1) I'm sure its been mention before but yes: "Naked and weaponless Old Companions that persist in the cinematics from chapter 1 to 2. 2) Dead or temporary companions: Like Marr or Darth Acina should not have the remove equipment button or players should not be able to remove their weapons if you can't equip it back to the character. EDIT: However this can be serious, especially if you end up with a mostly harmless companion in veteran or master difficulty of the chapter. Thanks SteveTheCynic for mention The second one was the the reason I reported the bug... I know its not game breaking but its odd because just a few days I was able to change Marr saber and have him use other flashier light sabers. However, just recently that is not possible. Not sure what's going on behinds the scenes of the game but I wanted to put it out there to players who like me like to replay the chapters... to be careful with Companions that are dead or temporary unless you want to see them naked fighting with their fist (I have not dare to touch any more dead/temporary companions after this incident) In the case of Marr at least his armor is glue to his character, but it was funny after my frustration with breaking immersion of the first Chapter wore off seeing him fighting with his fist and not being able to DPS or Tank without a saber. I only hope by the next time I re-sub again to play to continue the story this tiny stuff gets some attention. I know I know its not a big deal but... it just really worries me seeing this stuff overlook... some of it I read in the forums have been there for a long time... I know many of these cinematic bugs among others have been reported over the *years* of SWTOR but I guess I just wanted to try one last time and also make aware to players who take more seriously such immersion breaking bugs, if they are still playing/re-playing those chapters. Thank you for taking the time to read and if a dev is taking the time to read these type of forum post: "Thanks for at least taking the time to take a look and try to fix it"

Sadly as I re-play the story over and over, I will have to agree with the other comments. SWTOR Team written story has given us no indication that the Commander is actually that strong... Beyond what the wiki says about him/her specially the force users... in-game sadly we never have had the screen time to actually show we are near Malgus, Arcann, Vaylin and even less so with Valkorion were we beat him apparently with help of others. Don't get me wrong I love if at some point I can see all the history I accomplish with my PC lead to a point were the game and story acknowledges that we are indeed powerful, even a cinematic of us going full Vaylin, Valkorion or even a Palpating showing off our *OWN* power would be nice... However as it stands now that's not the case, for now. Hoping for the future though! (fingers cross)

Man reading on the comments leads me to such a good nostalgia trip, its been a while since I started an Inquisitor Story... its so interesting and entertaining! (IMO) God I wish SWTOR team release the game dialog script of the Inquisitor Class... I know it probably be a mess with so many options and variations of dialog depending on choices... but it be such a good way to kill time now that I'm working from home as I cant pause the game to relive the story in-game lol.

First HI STEVETheCynic! Always love the insight of your comments! And Second I love the OP, I like to *explore* the Dathomir in this timeline... or meet some type of version precursor / forerunner of the Nightsisters in this era or whatever residents are there right now... I think it be interesting!

Interesting point of view. Like mention before I never seen this theory before too. What little info I could find on the "Inquistor" of this era, specially Darth Imperius is base on what happens in-game: I often speculate that Darth Nox, Darth Occlus and Darth Imperious are 3 different people that were at that time somehow intertwine with everything that happen at that time. Or he/she is ONE person who wanted his history to not be clear for some reason... However when it comes to force powers and martial combat you can see that the only difference comes in their powers and abilities, beside the different choices that lead to the peak of their powers. (often mentioning what were the abilities they specialize in combat) So you might be on to something... that we have not consider before! I will agree however that Darth Imperius is probably the most interesting, unique and complicated character I ever encounter in any game or literature in the Star Wars Universe... (IMO) I'm not sure if it was intended to be this interesting for a game character, but it makes the Inquisitor story VERY good! Its the only class that makes me want to play it more than ones because how different that he can be as Nox or Occlus when it comes to lore and tiny juicy dialog. I probably buy all his books and merchandise if his story was canonize...in some form, specially if its as huge and long story you read and play SWTOR in-game. Oh... make my mouth water (in a mater of speaking) just thinking of reading and seeing Art of the Inquisitor facing against the Eternal Emperor... I'm such a nerd Haha! SOOOOOoooo respect for my fellow Darth Imperius fan... great read! Man Im so hype for new content to drop for SWTOR so I can jump again with Darth Imperius

I sometimes wonder if she in the end becomes the main villain... or becomes posses by Abeloth or a Valkorion type of force entity... I mean she knows soooooo much from our character and honestly I could never see her as betraying us willingly... she is quite unique for a Sith. AH what am I talking about! She one of my most love character, if this happen it would just be terrible I would get so many RPG feels! lol

Your Ideal Canon Races/Classes/genders/alignment? I honestly really don't know how to answers this...I understood that in SWTOR era there is a lot of unknowns to be full canon no? Anyway... Ill answer as a fan of what I have play so far... My Ideal Canon (in my head): Race: Chiss (I know, I know it makes no sense and there is very little about this race in this era, BUT THEY ARE SO COOL lol) Class: Inquisitor (Why not?! Being as skilled as Darth Maul with Lighsaber, a Master of the Dark Side like Palpatine, while being a brilliant strategist like Thrawn and then going full Galen Marek "Starkiller" Force Unleash in battle!) Gender: Male (Because my Consular is a Female sister of my Jedi Rival...haha just wanted to create a bit of a Romance/Drama in my head canon between the 2) Alignment: Light Side (Why? Because its unique, and unheard off specially in the era we are in... also I run with a Personal RPG in my head where my Inquisitor and Consular meet up and fall in love [in some distant future] both being accomplish heroes and overpowered force users...to lead to the old republic version [in my head] to the Chosen One Prophesy, if we ever get a Neutral Faction to Start like Zakuul I be making their son/daughter there. (That's why my legacy is called Voidwalker, in honor of the Skywalker original saga haha I know I'm such a geek! ) Why this weird contradictory that makes no scene combination? (Spare you the read of my geeky answers if your not interested lol )

Oh that's actually would make a great story! Awesome!

I try to look for the e-mail I got after the completing it, sadly it got erase... It s been a while. Probably I got too exited and read to much to it, (probably because nothing was mention with this class/race combination beyond the alien dialog since its an unlock and not in the traditional story) maybe you are right and its the same e-mail all Chiss character would get as a "generic dialog" like Cynic Steve so eloquently point it out... Now I'm sad that Chiss Inquisitor is nowhere near canon not even in Legends SWTOR... Then again what I read about the Chiss and the cool stories about Thrawn and how they treat force user in their society...leave very little possibility for a Chiss Inquistor even in Legends... Aw... Got to much into my head canon I guess...add a "dash" of wishful thinking with a bit of "sprinkles" of to much fandom with the Chiss and the final "cherry on top" with the possibilities in SWTOR led to a perfect "dish" of personal disappointment! lol Oh well, "c'est la vie" Haha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At first when SWTOR started it was a bit more easier to speculate the race of the Inquisitor with the race limits to the starting class story, but as the story progresses ( and you unlock more of the game) and continues specially after the during the events of the Nathema arc... its basically (to my understanding) anyone guess what race the Inquisitor could be. Its up to the players own understanding. Example: I made my Inquisitor a Chiss as so I got the dialog of being an alien... but also a bit of more for being race Chiss that Imperial Agent usually get with some NPC's that touch on that race. I also got a good chunk of juicy lore in Nathema arc... about my "Impure" status among the Chiss Ascendancy for being a Force user...and how I was being closely monitor and help from the shadows by my fellow Chiss. Putting into question my Linage not only with Aloysius Kallig but with who on the Chiss Nobility Ascendancy my PC could be a descendant/related to? Making my PC start as a Slave possibly something plan from the start? Point is the game SWTOR purposely throws you down the RPG rabbit hole of possibilities with no definite conclusion or confirmation, for you as a player to interpreted. So in anyway case your speculation could be just as right as any other players who gone through the story. The only thing I found out to be a real possibility is that the master of the dark side, they are called Darth Nox; the one with "inscrutable reputation" (neutral) Darth Occlus and the one with a reputation for serving the Empire (light side) Darth Imperius might be 3 different people in that time who where related to Aloysius Kallig and/or were at the same academy at the same period/timeline...maybe even knowing/helping or battle each other... I'm stretching my speculation with that last bit... but you get the idea. With SWTOR the stories can be almost endless as this part of history is clouded in a lot of mystery and maybes, perfect for an MMO (IMO). So yeah I can totally see your suggestion being another interesting possibility.

LMAO! AMEN to that... I so agree. With all its failings I have come to appreciate and become a hardcore fan of Legends material!

Hmmm, like mention before it would be to long as the story is shape quite a bit by your actions... For example the Inquisitor have 3 possible Darth Tittle: Darth Imperius-Is a rare aligned Light Side Sith, brilliant and gifted Anti-Hero that wants to change the Empire to be Benevolent, having impressive martial prowess, commanding mastery both strong in the Light and Dark Side advance abilities...and Immune to the Dark Side corruption hinted by his strong will, intellect and Mind... (I speculate he uses some type of advance Form VII Vaapad using his mind as a superconducting loop for the Force itself thus allowing him to use both the Ligh and Dark with no side effects) Darth Occlus-Is a aligned Neutral Sith with an unscrupulous reputation of getting this done not matter the cost, as he sees opportunity were others see Danger. Brilliant strategist and a genius in martial prowess... Invisible even to force users due to his ability to stay hidden even to the Force itself. Darth Nox-Is fully aliened with Dark Side a wise Villain whose goal is to unravel and commanding the Force its self to do her bedding. She is probably the strongest of all the Inquisitors incarnations, when it comes to the Force> Everything to her its a means to thirst her hunger for knowledge and ultimate power. A while waaay back I even read that she achieve Immortality basically becoming a living force ghost/entity of the Dark Side, being able to materialize at will even after a certain death and even preventing others from dying to server her purposes. So as you can see its a LOT! Add other elements like being an Alien race and affected by your choice and alignment even though they have basically the same story changes and alters the story in small but impact full ways. This also goes to the other classes... BUT if you just want to see the story you might see them in You Tube as people constantly record their own personal Star Wars Saga with their own Characters. Either that or wait for SWTOR team to make accessible scripts with all the story and dialog if it ever becomes a sellable piece, though I imagine it be a bible huge and if they add the art and concept it probably be a couple of volumes! (This is a joke I'm pretty sure this will never be release to public) But if you want a place to just read, recently I been using this place: https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Imperius As this wiki seems to actually update not only Star Wars Characters but also other hero and Villains form different franchises... I spend hours reading and jumping from Star Wars to other game Characters! However being a wiki you have to take everything with a grain of salt... But for what I seen its pretty accurate with the game so far and it summarize a LOT to give you a good sense of the Protagonist story, achievements and personality. Hope it helps.

Oh man, um... If you use a boost it skips your class quest...all your action or choices in it are added by and pick for you by default to the point were you get to story at lv 70. Usually depicting you if you are from the Empire as an Anti-Hero or if your from the Republic as a Hero... I could be wrong its been a while, but last time someone ask this was the answer.

I agree SI seem either to be really lucky or LITERALLY guided by the Force or something! However, in the Nathama Chapter at the part were your helping the Chiss, if your PC is Chiss it is directly imply that you have been help from the shadows constantly and indirectly mention that your "Impure" status of a Force user is what got you sold as a slave... At least that how I understood it, who help you and what powerful Chiss influence could do this at the heart of the Empire in the Sith Elite, are you blood related a royal/noble/influential member of The Chiss Ascendancy, who can say? I guess its purposely open for you as a Chiss player fill the blanks, but I really hope we get to explore this in the future in some form. Now in defense of the the Sith Warrior... it was mention at some point that in the ORIGINAL story The Jedi Knight would continue the story as the Sith Warrior after what happen in the 1st confrontation with the Emperor... So maybe that's why we see the Sith warrior being so single minded at the start, because of how its story was originally designed? However I do agree that at the start, unless your like me very RPG in my head and with a hyper imagination to fill the gaps and see it a script that needs a good director to guide my head movies... you might find it lacking compare to other more developed stories. Yeah I know I'm weird like that, a man with the heart of a child haha lol Man alll this talk about the stories got me hype to play again, see ya in game guys!

Oh I only mention Dark Side or Light Side because most of the time is not always Dark Side user will want to Kill or face off against everything...and NPC tend to try to kill them every chance they get and Light Side usually negotiates or does some smart diplomatic talk before fighting or usually NPC want to return the favor or work with them even if its temporary... as the game usually goes, but YOUR right, it be pretty stupid ANYONE at this point trying to cross the Commander lol! Although now that you mention it, we been getting more and more neutral choices that docent make your character act like a homicidal psychopath... so it docent affect your alignment... so I guess it makes no sense to think like that anymore...and even if it was we can always be a bit of light and dark sometimes... (Remember when we as Darth Imperious killed that Darth who took our chair? Yeah... good times lol) I really hope it goes as you said, its sound logic... maybe the face-off (regardless of alignment) its just a scene of fan service of showing how easily our PC defeats him, showing off our powers or expert combat! That be great! Also my Sith Warrior who is full Dark Side would finally have an Awesome companion of Destruction!

If this was a stream series and/or Movie it would make sense that they all be in one universe and same timeline (that would be really awesome)... but in the game setting its just up to US what's really happening. Then again *The Inquisitor* would be an exception unless he/she is divided in 3 different characters on that time line as they though similar in power, martial prowess and intelligence... are clearly different people. Maybe they started all together as slaves or they are represented as your early slave companions, maybe these mysterious 3 become the Gods/aspects ruling Will of the Dark Side of the force? Who can say but the player who creates his/her own Star Wars Saga. I really like your idea of thinking as it makes me think of the possibility of a Movie Saga or Streaming Series with so much story, written dialog and different characters... so much to work with in the right hands it could become a great NEW Star Wars if the source material is use correctly, directed properly and is treated loyal that vision, like Legends content is... Ah but I just happy we all get to have our own little Universe piece in SWTOR mmo... that's why I always come back here and sub again and again... (IMO) this is OUR own personal SW story! Opps sorry for the wall post, my SW nerds gets out of control and gets all exited talking about this type of SWTOR stuff... time to reel it in! lol

1. and 2, I like to think he will heal himself to either: Take Revenge, confront whatever is left of the Emperor and/or settle the score (Dark Side) or ally himself with the "Commander" (Light Side) once and for all... to face the new big bad that cound be a Force Entity of some sort that will open the way to a new expansion! (crossing my finger its not the last!) He may even become a romance playable companion like Arkann. 3. I think he will become the next Emperor of the Sith Empire and bring victory to the Sith War like supposedly happen in Legends past...(I think, Can't remember were I read it). I love to see Lana or even Sith Warrior or Inquisitor become Emperor as an Option but I think we will be drawn to something REALLY BIG... Were Malgus would be the best choice (IMO) after or PC character...of course to bring or keep stability to the Empire, mimicking our mighty alliance. SPECULATION:

I have to agree, I was at my 304 with my Lightning Inquisitor and decided to try it and I almost beat it, but she got me in a loop where I was with all my cooldowns up that I use to break free and even try to heal up... but the DMG was just to high... I figure I needed to change a few things with the built of my sorc to survive as I admit I'm using more of a RPG built for PvE fun preference but then decided I rather just go story mode for fun. Maybe later I get serious about doing does... However she does seem to hit way to hard for a solo fight and no real assistance beside your survival backpack and its powers. My suggestion try to go back on this fight with higher item lv and change your passive and bring items according to what your class has to survive a long solo class battle.

I have notice this A LOT, people posting in the story section of the forums... then again it seems to be the most active and helpful (IMO), so it could be that too... Maybe they get ignore on other sections or don't get any real info? Oh well...C'est la vie
