#swtor rant

[tactile-hallucination]

Replaying imperial agent storyline.

Last playthrough I saved Chance, but this time - you know what? Fuck that guy. He was going on about how "oh, I'm sorry they mind control you, I'll never do this, I'm a good guy." and then he uses the code word on Taris like right away? (I love that "I would've come anyway" is one of the answers, even if you can't say it out loud.)

But fine, he could've asked nicely for a patch up at the lab and apologized for the mind control thing bc yes, he was in a bind, but he's so so sorry. Instead the motherfucker DOUBLES DOWN and tries to command you again?! Alright, rot in whatever hell you believe in. (Also, can we talk about how the whole mind control thing feels extra gross when the agent is a woman, especially with Hunter's remarks about her being his servant or whatever later in the story?) Edit: the sniper's farewell letter after Chance's death has me screaming, because "he loved animals"?! It's giving "I can excuse mind control, but I draw the line at animal cruelty"

Why yes, of course I've dumped Quinn for the Mando dork! Just look at him smile, he could melt icebergs...

I have so few screen caps of Rass 😭 You will get them all! 🤓

Rass full of Sass, Rass the Ass or Rasscal? He's bold in battle, less so when it comes to one-on-one situations. Known for dry humour, yet he will never make fun of you other than spaceship crashing references. He's constantly concerned about the Commander's wellbeing and safety and bonus points for healthy brother bond with Jekiah. So he's witty, fun and caring and loves dogs - just can't say 'no' to the Mando Boy.

When you're about to say goodbye to your bae, but accidentally bump into your teacher 😅 The complete lack of logical explanation about going on Ord Mantell given by this absolute no-one still makes my teeth grind. Who are you and why should the Alliance Commander even listen?

*** general swtor romance rant below ***

Having so many companions obviously leads to some of them being neglected. Not only by the player but by the writers as well. We've seen a small pack brought back into spotlight in KOTFE/ KOTET and Kira/Scourge later on which was satisfying but also raised our hopes for other popular companions, especially love interests. A shame only Lana/Theron still get an update afterwards and are present all missions along. And if they are not romanced, well, the game seems to be loosing an important part of the story. Even after reuniting with LI, there are no interactions, not even any new voice line or short comment when entering new locations. You can't expect players to remain bound to the very first LI, unless they are creative enough to cover the story in between (I'm not, it's been 10 years with no action). Perhaps the writers wanted us to move on based on game budget limitations (voice acting and all)? But they could add some letters at the very least, that doesn't cost much, eh?

SWTOR Wishlist

These are just a few things I'd like to see in the game--are they all going to be something feasible or would the devs actually get around to doing them? Doubtful, but one can hope.

These are in no particular order.

Having the option to New Game + the storyline. You can do this for KotFE and KotEE, but NOTHING ELSE. I'd love to be able to play through the whole storyline again without having to make a new character.

Calling your romance option to your room. *wink wink* Or having a repeatable cutscene where you can go on a date, or some other little thing that's not story related. Let me smooch Theron when I want!

Unlocking dyes in the collections...(not going to happen. Dyes are more than likely one of the biggest money makers. Still can wish for it though, lol.)

Cross faction grouping. I know a lot of people who don't have characters on the opposite faction, this would make doing group activates sooo much easier. (Plus less bouncing around the gear ;-; )

Updated graphics. It is so very strange see my character, Lana, and someone like Tau or Sa'har side by side--they feel like they're from a different games sometimes.

Updating the old cutscenes. Only reason I'm putting this here is because the updated the intro quest cutscene on Coruscant and Dromond Kaas. I'm hoping they might do that for the origin storyline at the very least.

Just wanna let y’all know that I hate SoV FP and I still have to run it with my last 2 toons.

[SOLO STORY] FPs needs the babysitter droid. It’s STORY MODE. C’mon BW. I can pass them fine with DPS comp bc mobs are such unnecessary dmg sponges but it’s such a boring slog to go through multiple toons with. Newer or less exp’d players will struggle. I was already not a fan of forced FP as main story content back in SoR and it’s still haven’t changed now. If these FPs are side stories like the old times then that’d be great.

I’d rather have stupid fetch quests back. Also not a fan that deco drops are only in group content for this FP as I’d have to roll against 3 other ppl for that!

how much do you hate Skadge?

I am not the kind of person that kills companions or people in game for fun.

Hell, I even do Nathema Conspiracy bullshit because and Kotfe/et (specially imp side) because I hate the idea of Senya and Theron dying. Low-key Arcann to, but he’s mostly safe due to Senya. But Skadge? I would shoot that motherfucker, set him on fire, then vaporize whatever is left. No, I wouldn’t even leave ashes. There’s Scum, and then there’s Skadge. I really question what the actual ever loving fuck was going on at BW when they figured “People will like this companion. Great idea to write this!” Like ???????????????????????????????????????????

Idk man, I really hate Skadge and I feel the need to kill him every time I fucking play this game.

A moment of peace on Tython

On my current version of Corellan (my new canon version), i recently finished KOTET. I took this screen cap of Corellan and Kira on Tython shortly before starting KOTFE. (Pardon the resolution; i did my best.)  I know there are people who hate KOTFE and KOTET and everything that came afterwards. I’m not one of them. I like those stories. What bothers me is the developers clearly had no workable plan in place for what to do afterwards, much less how best to bring back the still-missing companions. Many players were dissatisfied with the returns of companions like Vette and Jorgen, who at least got significant screen time. The alliance alerts were even worse. The returns since then have been a mixed bag at best. Nadia’s was pretty good, but i don’t know about the others.  I.... miss Kira. I’ve missed Kira since KOTFE. I’m annoyed they had no proper plan to bring her back. I’m furious they did a bait and switch; promising Kira and Scourge but ultimately delivering Nadia, Doc and Khem. I hate that i fall for teases about Kira every single time. I do this knowing she’ll probably be coming back soon. And i hope they write a good return for her, but i doubt it.  I wish i could say i had confidence that all the SWTOR companions - class to KOTFE and since - would receive some kind of acceptable screen time in the future. But that’s unlikely. Heck, i doubt we’ll even see a post-KOTET Tython. This was my last Corellan and Kira screen capture before he lost her. On the world where they first met. On the world where, in my FF, they became “us”.

Damn it SWTOR, if I have lvl 70 character with the Tier 3 gear, and I am still NOT in the Guild, chances are I’ve spent all this time NOT WANTING TO JOIN A DAMN GUILD. AND NOT GOING TO NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU INVITE ME. i dont like guilds, unless its a small one I create with my friends with zero pressure. I dont want any obligations in the stupid game, i have too much of them in real life, thank you very much.

The random invites are super frustrating, especially if youre in the middle of something.

PS: brief research on the internet shows there is auto-decline. Need to check it out.
