I'm not sure I'd want to spend my time hunting down more of these, but I guess I'm open to the possibility.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to getting Tharan back too. He's not my favourite consular companion (that honour goes to Zenith... still waiting for him...), but I never shared so many people's dislike for him either. I just find him amusing.<br /><br />And I could definitely see my Sentinel romancing Scourge too - but she's only finished her class story, nothing else. Another one for the bucket list I guess!Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-21399120182846535102019-11-14T15:07:26.438+00:002019-11-14T15:07:26.438+00:00You know, I'm not at all surprised that the Em...You know, I'm not at all surprised that the Emperor has a Horcrux. I mean, he should have several - and this is a good case of "rip it off but so good it doesn't matter" if, after helping with Satele's problems, you ended up in a hunt for his other Horcruxes. It doesn't even need to be a whole new thing, but new areas in old planets or even several flashpoints around the subject would serve the game nicely. The ever looming threat of him managing to regain some physical form should be enough to push the story forward. And, meanwhile, you have an actual war to "win".<br /><br />I've only gone through the new content with my main - a consular - and she was happy to see Theran; the first words out of her mouth were to ask about Holiday. I was surprised but amused to hear Arn behind me going "What? His name's Theron too?" - and can't help but think we should've had the option of answering it with "Yeah, I've got a type" (because my main does AND because with no romance trigger one can go "Yeah, that makes it easy to remember" or whatever). I really loved the whole personal dialogue thing that we had in the tail end of the storyline.<br />I quite liked Galena, which is a surprise - I don't think I ever felt warmly about a Chancellor before. Still, she made it easy the idea of coming back to the Republic, and to take a seat in the Jedi Council... If they'll take my very married ass in it (then again, considering my husband's the former GrandMaster's lovechild, it'd be hypocritical of them to care too much). Still, Lana took it as gracefully as she possibly could (her conversations with Gnost-Dural must've helped), and Theron was charming in my very short romantic interaction (but, hey, at least there was one!). <br />It felt right, all the throwbacks to who my character originally was; like telling Kira/Scourge that I could help Satele's crew because I knew how to shield them from a dark plague. Of course, it can't be that simple, or what would the otehr classes do? Still, I wonder if you'll get the chance to kill Satele... And how would Theron react to you being responsible for both his parent's dying - if you didn't kill him in the meantime. <br />Now, I'm just waiting to see them release my Tharan back to me (hopefully, with Holiday). I think I have him in an Obi-Wan kinda look that was dashing, I just need to find where I put it once it was dropped... Hopefully I didn't loose it! Hahaha<br />Oh, sidenote: I don't care much for the JK at all, but boy I was glad Kira and Scourge are options now. Doc definitely doesn't do it for me, and my original JK spent all her time flirting with Kira and having Kira respond... So it makes sense that after some time apart and much needed clarification, they'd get together. Similarly, I like the reasoning used for Scourge to not have felt it before, but being open to it now... Very neat. I like him as an option as well. It seems I'll have to muddle through more JK's (I have a grand total of 0 that have completed ClassStory; the one I did I deleted during DvL for characterspace) so I can get nice romances.

While I agree that they would have been better with a more traditional story, the format was still too linear, solo-centric and really hurt the rest of the game in my opinion.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-30736518830638067472019-11-10T22:26:35.851+00:002019-11-10T22:26:35.851+00:00I don't mind if it turns out that the plague w...I don't mind if it turns out that the plague was one more last-ditch effort to preserve his immortality, as long as it doesn't come anywhere close to succeeding, because I'm definitely tired of Vitiate as a villain at this point.

But they wasted years with Zakuul. Yeah...it was nice to play through it once, but it doesn't come even close to the new stuff.<br /><br />The players are much more invested/engaged in the good old characters they know. Malgus, Kira, Satele. Star Wars is Repbulic against Empire. We have this finally again. Best Story since the base game.<br /><br />Sadly...we are out of players, and money...so there is no chance to go back to monthly story-chapters.

I hope the story line doesn't even remotely hint of him coming back, but that he would do his damnedest to kill all if he was destroyed.<br /><br />Having various traps left by the Emperor to deal with, time to time, would certainly fit his personality, and given how long he had been alive there could be many of them. The consequences of his existence and death should linger on...Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.com
