EAFSAMWISE Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I've played through the Bounty Hunter story as a male already. But is female any better or would you guys say female is worse? I'd heard a rumor the female bounty hunter has a lot of sarcastic/sassy choices similar to female inquisitor but I wasn't sure if that was true Edited December 13, 2021 by EAFSAMWISE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakRoanin Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Fem BH FTW Especially with Theron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilrenna Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If the female BH has less sarcasm than the male, then that would be a hell of a lot of sarcasm. I smart-assed my way right across the galaxy. It was a hoot. I'm not even sure how I could possibly have handed people more attitude than I did. Also, I love the Torian romance. For me, he's one of the best romances in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefla Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 It's always good to play every class as both genders, both alignments, and both human and non human to see what details are different IMO but then again I am an alt addict >.> A female BH can marry the Barron's son on Alderaan though.

SteveTheCynic Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 A female BH can marry the Barron's son on Alderaan though. And this is the only way to get a proper noble title in the game (Baroness). Male BHes cannot get "Baron", and the best that anyone else can be is "Lord".

Eranis Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Bounty Hunter is one of the few classes, where I find male and female voice actors equally good. I never got the impression that one has more possibility for sass than the other and if they sass, both do it really well. Additionally, both work well as LS and DS imo. Plus for the female: I prefer the Torian romance over Mako since it feels a lot more mature and on equal footing (especially if you aim to become a mandalorian). The grizzled voice of male BH with young Mako always makes me cringe a bit. So, if you haven't tried it, a female playthrough is absolutely worth it imo.

ShieldProtection Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 BH female voice actress are awesome as well, it is my favourite Voice actor, it is joy to hear. Of course female IA have the best Voice actress but hey that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThanderSnB Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I played both of them through all the stories, but it's been so long I don't remember a lot of differences in their story/dialogue. One thing I do remember is the male BH voice gets fuzzy (sounds like he's got a lisp) in some of the expansions (maybe Hutt Cartel and Shadows of Revan?) because of too much sound compression on Bioware's part. Then Knights expansion and later, it gets good again. Female BH, being higher pitch, sounds good throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a minefield of "kid" dialogues to try and avoid when romancing Torian though. I've definitely had to esc out of more than a few cutscenes because my character is calling the person she's hitting on a "kid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefla Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) So...does that mean you let Vette die? Man, don't even get me started on that choice >:'( I love both of those characters and I even made a female BH who is a clone of Vette and even has Vette's name with special characters (AND she romanced Torian). She got completely abandoned when that chapter came out and I never played it on her. Edited December 14, 2021 by Nefla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they never had used that word at all coming from a player character. How much older are we supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much older are we supposed to be? On the other hand, Jincoln seems to call both the bounty hunter AND Torian "children." I don't think that the bounty hunter is supposed to be old. I imagined my bounty hunter as pushing 30, and Mako as in her early 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakRoanin Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I had my Fem BH at 26 on Hutta. According to Mr. Boyd it's now 14 years later, but I knock off 5 years of aging because of the Carbonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the feeling the Hunter and Smuggler were the older ones of the 8 origins, being mid 20's, while all the rest are early 20's if not late teens.

At the points where you meet them, Mako is 18-20, and Torian is 17, and I always throught of the starting BH as being maybe around 25, enough to be taken at least somewhat seriously, but not enough to be a shoo-in for Nem'ro's sponsorship.

UG, no, bad enough we have to deal with Skadge. I think Akaavi should have been with BH, and Mako the Smuggler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're treated like a promising beginner in the start of the class story too so I would think of them as being pretty young themselves. It's the male BH voice that sounds like a grizzled veteran that throws thing off lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
