Costello Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Just getting to like the drunk and his become a wall decoration. Here is hoping there is going to be a choice to side with the smuggler or the bounty hunter in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuriDogshin Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Many of my toons won't like the Wookies background. Personally, I don't like the Wookie or his droid. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daekarus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 A bounty hunter droid!! A TOR-Era IG-88 is just the ticket. Keep up the writing, guys, I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremsau Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Is Kern a character we should know? As far as I understand, the subject of the conversation is what we're to be focusing on. It's a random BH-7X droid talking to someone who'd been crossed by Jakarro one too many times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a random BH-7X droid talking to someone who'd been crossed by Jakarro one too many times? I'm not sure it's a random droid unit. As far as I'm aware, he's the only one of his kind. (...) Kern laughed. He reached for the bottle again, but only managed to knock it off the opposite end of the desk. It struck the droid’s shin, bounced away, and spun into the corner. The glowing eyes didn’t move. “The great BH-7X!” Kern’s arms found a suitably dramatic pose. “I’m supposed to pay you a fortune to partner up, and you can’t even dodge a bottle?” (...) The text does imply as much. Edited August 26, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCadaver Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I get that SWTOR promised an MMO with story and character development but this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarshr Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm confused lol, did the droid punch him to the floor out or shoot him? is he dead or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I'm confused lol, did the droid punch him to the floor out or shoot him? is he dead or what? Nahhh. BH-7X had teamed up with Kern in order to collect the bounty on both Jakarro and his droid. Unfortunately, the trap that Kern had set up failed and in order to recoup something from the whole ordeal, BH-7X just froze Kern in carbonite, after the latter so willingly confessed that he engaged in illegal activities to lure Jakarro, namely the trafficking / smuggling of illegal "goods". Smart droid I say. Edited August 27, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oOKernOo Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Made me chuckle when I read this short story, Kern is the online/game/forum name that I've gone by for the past20+ years... back from the days of playing my dads old BBC and Amiga 500 computers right upto present day in swtor. Here's a screenshot of my legacy screen to prove my character names: http://i.imgur.com/b4SBULr.jpg I used to play another big fantasy mmo (no not that one,,, but another big one set around the middle of the earth..) and there was a NPC added with the name Kern thus annoyingly preventing me from using my chosen character name (had a similar name, small change or characters) I sincerely hope Bioware dosen't force me to rename my much played/loved characters name (been playing since day one of release by the way) on just a name being plucked from thin air by a dev as they create new content, that would be most frustrating and annoying damaging the attachment that I have with my characters. It's not a silly name like 'han soooolo' or any such rule bending name here, this silly as it may sound to some, It means something to me, I have a personal connection to it, and I really hope they don't change it or make the NPC with it a moronic character that people associate me with 'oh look that guy copied his name off the court jester... pfftt idiot...' Nooo! i got here first! Sorry for my little rant, I realise that as new content is developed that they have to give the NPCs a name and inevitably being a Massively Multiplayer online game that there is a high likely hood of someone at some point getting the same name as a plot character. Great story by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nooo! i got here first! I had something similar with my sith sorcerer. Named him Ankus after an ancient Indian elephant training spear. Then a character appears called Arkus and I look like it copied the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this line was great, love these stories. Keep the content up Bioware, I really love the direction that the new game content has been taking. Manaan was great and I love some of the re-designed log interface etc... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tharengore Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 That was a great read, and i cant wait for some more. Wonder if we get a point to unfreeze Kern? Also I like this droid, I want to see this droid banter with HK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
