MaximusRex Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 So, Septuagenarian Niko Okarr doesn't look his age. Sounds like there is another story about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luinthoron Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Was pretty obvious it was Nico from his description. Quite a fun read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kukumburr Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Awesome, I love these blogs. I'm curious as to how Nico is younger than he should be. Maybe he was in carbonite for awhile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtGeneralGezlin Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Glad to see more about Nico, we know very little about him other than what we saw in the Return trailer, and the 'The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthscotty Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That was good, worth the read. Makes me excited for the conversations you get to have with him when he becomes your companion to get more of that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerba Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nice to read how Nico Okarr is doing. Unfortunately, I don't think this will tell us anything about KotFE (Molavar and Valahari were probably chosen at random and won't appear as planets) but it gives us an idea that Nico won't have a clean slate when he joins as our companion. Let's hope he won't make us any trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadahy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That was a very fun read, and my gunslinger is looking forward to someday meeting one of her idols. Now I'm wondering if we will be paying a trip to Molovar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtGeneralGezlin Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nico has been sorely underused since those launch trailers. It's about time he made an appearance. I think he is the last character from the three trailers to show up in game. (Not counting Vindican [Malgus' pureblood master], Eleena Daru [Malgus' twi-lek lover], Kao Cen Darach [satale's Zabrak master] or Ven Zallow.

RameiArashi Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Its been 38 years + 5 and he still hasn't aged? He been making use of tech from the Infinite Empire, ala the sith inquisitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwnerJord Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) So I trust he found the fountain of youth? lol All in all, my Smuggler and him are going to be bro's I tell you. BRO'S. That was a fantastic read, chuckled at the twist. Really hoping we get several stories regarding key characters leading up to the release of the expansion. Maybe one with Theron, then Satele, then Marr, and the final one could be the Immortal Emperor's PoV right before he visits our galaxy.

DarthDymond Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nice read, love these story blogs! Have to confess though, I was half-hoping Okarr would actually be an old man by the time we get him as a companion - a cross between Jolee Bindo and Han Solo would have been an excellent companion.

Agreed - good read indeed . . . And Yep I agree with you on that second note as well, was thinking John Wayne in 'Cahill - US marshall' - watch that 5 min intro . . .

Phyreblade Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Nico shot first! Haha, I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice! I still think one ship won't be big enough for Nico and my Smuggler together. I have to figure out which one of my characters is going to nab this yummy guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrrant Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Meh. It's not a bad story, sure. The writing's fine, the character seems alright, and it does introduce the whole age mystery, which is kinda the point. But... ugh. It just tries so, so hard to make him look like a ******. He's a smuggler, a man of mystery, works as a bounty hunter, manages to go by an assumed name, remembers what he steals but totally has a definition of honor (or at least, honor among theives)... In other words, standard issue "Mysterious Rogue". None of Han's down-on-his-luck, none of Skavik's ugly, shameless womanizing ways, no flaws that aren't part of the archetype, no real positives that aren't part of that same archetype. He's just dull. Corso's more interesting than this guy, at least Corso has a second dimension to him... These stories need to tell us why he's worth caring about, beyond "Isn't he a ******?" and "He was totally in that cinematic way back when".
