Yes, I've romanced her as a male and like her a lot, but it could be frustrating getting her to open up and talk about anything other than work, a very slow burn romance indeed. In fact, you could say she's the very opposite of creepy/predatory, a very likeable character.

You misunderstood what I said. I was referring to people who JUSTIFY Doc's behaviour while condemning Lana. If you are rejecting Doc, then I wasn't talking about you.

I think there's a lot of homophobia behind it. How anyone can think Lana is creepy or some sort of predator, while justifying Doc's constant and blatant sexual harassment, leads me to think that homophobia is the main reason for such inconsistency.

Thank you for putting it so succinctly and elegantly.

Yes, you have a mind of your own, I simply think you're wrong. I saw the remark as sexist, so I asked my wife if, as a woman, she saw it as sexist. She did. So I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make there.

I think you're doing all women a disservice. My wife was disgusted by that comment and considers it extremely misogynistic. An argument should be decided on its merits, and not which gender is conducting it. If you think this thread is petty, fine, but men have petty arguments all the time, and language such as "catty" is never used to describe them. It is a denigrating word that purposely demeans the discussion.

And who are you to decide what is important or otherwise to someone's characters or game experience? If this thread is so "pointless", why did you even take the time to reply to it with your condescending and utterly sexist remark? If you don't like the thread, just ignore it.

You've just perfectly encapsulated the arrogant, immature attitude that leads to many people staying well away from PvP.

As a Smuggler, I think you can skip the Eternal Championship part as long as Bowdaar is already influence level 10 or higher. If he's lower than 10, you may need to do some championship rounds, but you don't necessarily need to do all 10 rounds at once. If you find one of the bosses too hard, speak to the terminal at the entrance, then leave and start again from round 1. You'll soon get the influence you need.

You can mix and match, faction doesn't matter. You can check which classes have reached 300 by pressing Y, look for "Advancement" under the Legacy tab, and you'll find Galactic Command at the bottom of the list that comes up.

I'm not talking about liking "hot comps", I'm referring to the abusive fantasies WarriorX has going on in his head about slapping women around, using them as slaves, blah blah blah etc. I don't care that he has these fantasies as long as they stay in his head, and by putting them out there on a forum, yes, he sounds like a hormonal teenager. I'm surprised you found that so difficult to comprehend.

You really need to take a step back and think about how you come across to other people. To me, you sound like a hormonal teenager who's never actually spoken to a woman in real life, other than possibly his mother. It's fine to live out your fantasies through a video game, but try keeping all that stuff in your own head.

You seem completely ignorant of what sexual harassment actually is. You believe the only way to sexually harass someone is by touching them inappropriately? I think you need to educate yourself. Doc behaves like he does because he's a pig, not because it's "bravado covering up insecurity", he's clearly been behaving like that well before he meets the Jedi Knight, with women he's not at all besotted with, so your comment makes no sense there either. "This is not the thread for you"- it's a thread about Doc on a public discussion forum, if you want positive comments only take it to private chat. "This is not the game for you"- thanks for the advice, but I have a great time playing this game and have no trouble ignoring Doc in-game, public forums are a separate issue entirely, again you made very little sense with your comment.

Having watched my wife play through the Doc romance (never again, she said), I would have to describe his behaviour as blatant sexual harassment. He reminds me of those disgraced 1970's DJ's in the UK who, after receiving a jail sentence for gross sexual misconduct and lewd behaviour many years later, would claim "it was all just harmless banter in those days." There's a reason the #MeToo movement so quickly gained traction, Doc would be immediately suspended in any decent workplace for the way he behaves, and correctly so.

Have you had some kind of humour bypass? It was very, very obviously just a joke. Maybe you need to relax, have a nice cup of tea, and stroke a cat or something?

That was uncalled for and rather mean. My wife and I have a lot of fun with the romances, it's a big part of the game for us. It doesn't mean you're desperate or lonely, maybe you should apologise.

That's a really counter-productive, immature attitude. It's nothing to do with "end game" initiation, it's just people being moronic and your approach to it just perpetuates the problem, leading to a more unpleasant environment for everyone. Try calming down and thinking things through a little more.

I just solo'd the Republic fleet datacron twice in the past few days, for myself and my wife. There are a couple of good guides on You Tube to help, I think the Imperial one may not be possible solo, but you really only need one for the achievement. Good luck if you decide to try it.
