Me: Errr, do we? I was originally planning to level this character just through class quests and PvP.
Him: I'm a completionist, I have to do all the quests.
Me: I like seeing all the quests, but surely you don't want to redo them on every character. Doesn't that get seriously boring, doing the same thing on every alt?
Him: Nope. I like the game. [shares start of bonus series]
Me: [sighs and hits accept]

Him: [tries to bioanalyse a plant and pulls some mobs]
Me: [loots the plant while he kills them]
Him: What the...? How did you even get that? I'd already analysed it!
Me: You hadn't looted it though, as you got interrupted. So I could, and I did.
Him: You thief! This will require revenge.
Me: Bring it on.
Him: [chooses some sort of light side option in a conversation and wins the roll yet again]
Me: Seriously? You're not a real smuggler.
Him: I'm just a nice person.
Me: How's anyone supposed to make any credits with you constantly helping people out for free?
Him: It's always all about the credits with you! You're such a nasty person!
Me: Maybe I am! Better than being a bloody goody-two-shoes!

Me: [cruises along at the top of a cliff, then gets knocked off the speeder by a random mob]
Him: [drives on]
Me: [fights the mob and gets close to killing it, but it takes a while due to being healing spec]
Him: [comes back and knocks the mob off the cliff as it has about ten percent health left, so I get no XP or loot]
Me: That was profoundly unsatisfying. Only you can turn even coming back to help me into a bad thing!
Him: Yeah well, serves you right for taking so long.
Me: Grrr.

Me: You know, I really hate that companion colour matching is broken right now. Your Corso seriously offends my eyes.
Him: What, with his red boots and blue... everything else?
Me: Yes.
Him: Well, maybe I did that intentionally, just to annoy you. To get back at you for getting over three hundred hostages killed back there!
Me: That would be a very subtle kind of cruel. (Also, I did kind of hope I'd get to shoot before he could order any executions.)
---
Me: Why do we keep doing this if we just end up annoying each other?
Him: Annoy each other? What are you talking about?
Three hundred hostages what? O_o
ReplyDeleteI've missed lots of things playing generally Light Side, haven't I? (Assuming that saving hostages is somehow less memorable than getting them killed... Though if it's in a bonus series, maybe I just plain missed it.)
As my guildie commented below, it's actually part of the main Alderaan chain on Republic side (specifically this quest).
DeleteAh, right. Apparently three hundred hostages _are_ less memorable when you save them.
DeleteI have a levelling buddy guildie too - this could totally be excerpts of my conversations with him. :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I'm not surprised. :D
Delete*Spoiler*
ReplyDeleteThe three hundred hostages killed is one of the Alderaan main series but you need to pick the attack option when you talk to the duke.
*end of spoiler*
I would like to point out, considering how Shintar only picks the funnest disagreements that we've had that, we've still survived until the end of chapter 1 thus far. I hasn't all been this bad some of it has been really funny. :P
Suffering Guildie :P

I knew you'd feel the urge to defend yourself anyway. ^^
DeleteYou know me so well :P
DeleteLight Side smugglers are effectively the republics bitch
ReplyDeleteI just wish the game would remember that Smugglers are criminals a bit more often. It's disconcerting how rarely it comes up. And how little thought was given to what that would mean, even in the story at times. Belsavis is just _bizarre_ on a Smuggler. (Okay, Belsavis is bizarre, period. Let's make that extra bizarre.)
DeleteThe best part about the Smuggler story is that you find a Jedi who is willing to look the other way in Chapter 3. She got a big ol' thumbs up from my Gunslinger when she said (effectively) "You go do what you have to do, and if anyone complains I've got your back."
DeleteCan I say that I laughed my ass off on this post? After the past day or two, I sure needed that....
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to entertain. :P
DeleteFun read.
ReplyDeleteI'll never entirely understand why coop levelling hasn't become a strong TOR attraction. I've always enjoyed it more than in other games thanks in no small part to the morality tug of war.
