phaylis Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 In general I like the overall story line for the Smuggler and BH. However I have come across occasions as a servant to their respective faction rather than control over their own destiny. These two classes dialog for main and side quest should have the option to reflect either an alliance to the faction or the option and dialog to reflect hey I am here for the money I don't care if you Sith, Republic or Santa Claus. On BH and and on Smuggler you seem to be at a point thrown in as faction drone with no real good reason why you are either part of the Republic or chose to be an Imperial lap dog. My feeling as a Bounty hunter or Smuggler I should have representatives from the Empire and Republic asking me to do jobs. Being that in both these professions if not working for them I should be actively be pursued by a Bounty Hunter or authorities for the Empire/Republic for the unsanctioned activities. Since Smuggling or kidnapping/killing is against the law for both Empire and Republic. All in all playing a Bounty Hunter I like the great hunt quest. I just feel that If I wanted to bow before the Empire I will play an Imperial Agent. And a few friends that have rolled Smuggler stating there is no feel that they have a reason to be part of the Republic they are just in the middle. The classes are fun to play but the story is what should drive us to play the part. I want to be control of my own destiny and if that means that I kill a Darth for a bounty and have the Empire out to gut me so be it. But I would have a feeling that if I can take a Darth out, when they need something done I will have someone knocking on my ships hull for a nice bounty.

ForlornHope Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 So..you want a third neutral faction. I would agree with you but that time has already passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandana Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 OP funny you should mention the agent. Agents get screwed over by both the Empire and the Republic... I ended up playing mine neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminova Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 A lot of the quests do have the "I'm here for the money" option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightmaguz Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Han Solo was just in the middle, he ended up with a General rank and leading the most important ground assault in the history of the Galactic civil war. Boba Fett was just in the middle he ended up almost dying because of a job for the Empire, and he never questioned Vader when he talked either. Jango Fett was just in the middle, he died fighting the Jedi because of the separatists. It is very proper and Star Warsy if you ask me. PS - I forgot Lando, where even to begin?! Guy was coerced into betraying the Rebellion(and his friend) and then turned tables by joining and leading one of the most important Space battles in history.

Could have sworn he died because he was hanging with Jabba's crew at the wrong time. Never questioned Vader? "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."

phaylis Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 No third faction, i understand the need for balance especial for the PvP aspect. I just the think the story should fit the role of the class. You should be able to be either fall in line with your faction with a logical choice or choose to be neutral and be hate/loved by all.

TheCasterTroy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 So..you want a third neutral faction. I would agree with you but that time has already passed. would of been a cool idea to have 3 factions, Imperial, republic and like Independent on there, have like a rouge agent(titled rouge to justify that character being in an independent category)... shyt they should put that in an expansion.. an independent faction.

Gokkus Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Boba Fett survived the Sarlacc, he was spat out for being undigestible. Not sure if that it was written in an official book though. Anyway, as a BH I think it plays out well. I can often choose for options that say: I work for me. Plus it makes sense that a BH would align with the empire because contract killing isnt really the republic way.

"What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me." That was he being polite! =p "No disintegrations!" was met with a silent stare and he shut up after Vader said he'd pay more than enough if Solo died, he knew defying the Empire meant being crushed on the spot very well, either way he worked for the Empire more than once when Vader felt his officers were incapable of doing the job. about his survival, what the guy above said. No third faction, i understand the need for balance especial for the PvP aspect. I just the think the story should fit the role of the class. You should be able to be either fall in line with your faction with a logical choice or choose to be neutral and be hate/loved by all. You can't be loved in both the Republic and the Empire, and being hated by both is most unproductive, like I mentioned being caught in the middle means you'll work or align against/with one of the sides eventually. It's the will of the force(it also rules non force user characters after all.). Edited February 4, 2012 by Lightmaguz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
