I played the hell out of this game until I got tired of doing the same thing over and over again. One of the few paths I didn't try and play was Smuggler. Good luck man.

1. Smuggler
2. Male
3. Whatever
4. 4
5. Whatever It Takes

Looks like it's going to be Imperial Agent after all. Agent is the only class I played through to the end of the story. :( And I played a good guy.

Not even overweight on a female. Just curvy. On a male, it's big but sumo wrestler big - the kind that's very heavy, but also very muscular.

My chunky Sith Warrior was the best Sith Warrior :allears:.

The best part about all the bugs they attributed to players not having good enough systems was the fact that there was an interface bug for like the first 3 months the game was out where skills would randomly not go off, or they'd go off like 5-10 seconds after you hit the button (and it not being a network latency issue) or they'd trigger the cooldown but not actually use the skill. Several months and many bug fix attempts later, what do they eventually find out the issue is? Multicore processors. If you played the game on any kind of remotely modern system, the UI wouldn't work in any kind of useful manner.

How did that make it through testing?

God don't I remember that. Part of what killed the game for me. I really finished the Agent storyline because I loved it then tried played through a few other classes before throwing up my hands in disgust.

Space missions are SO much more fun after you've upgraded your ship a few times. It's also fun to try and see how tricky you can get your flying or how many enemy fighter you can destroy by running into them (Hint: not very many)

He's a space wizard, though. It's like having a Space Marine surrounded. It just means they may have to go farther to kill you all.

They actually have real guns in Star Wars, and they somehow managed to make them retarded as gently caress. I've given up on Star Wars doing pretty much anything right. I'm just in it for the pretty, pretty pictures. :v:

Stubbers, and the ones used by the criminal element suck rear end since most of them of no better than muskets. However there is a cartel of assassins that use loving awesome sniper rifles the fire a projectile coated in whatever that stuff prevents lightsabers from working. Cortosis or whatever. Cause Jedi don't deflect bullets, their lightsabers turn them into happy little clouds.

Zaodai posted:

Especially against Jedi. What's that? You can deflect blaster fire? Okay, how about something that fires 19 rounds per second that fly faster than your eye can track?

Jedi and Sith don't actually use their eyes to deflect blaster bolts but instead well-trained instinct augmented by the Force. Jedi Guardians, who specialized in lightsaber fighting and using to Force to augment their physical selves, could easily block blaster fire in a complete 360 degrees for a period of time.

That's true! For regular park-goers, the buyout didn't come as much of a surprise, since there's already a strong working relationship between the two companies. The Studios theme park down in Florida, for example, has been holding Star Wars weekend special events at certain times of the year for quite some time now, and they recently revamped the Star Tours motion simulator ride, too. It's a simulated intergalactic tour expedition (which inevitably goes horribly wrong). In a stroke of genius, they framed the waiting area as a series of jabs against the TSA, which I've found plays pretty well to an audience of tourists who just spent time getting jerked around by those guys.

Frankly, I think Disney might do a better job with the license. How they'll deal with TOR and its... interesting financial future is unknown.

Before I moved to Washington a good friend of mine used to buy four or five annual passes to Disneyland every year and a group of us would go up all the time. There was a fantastic lightsaber battle that used to be held once or twice a day in Spaceland that was an absolute blast to watch since they tried to change it up as often as possible. And going with my friend was great as he knew a ton of castmembers (employees) personally as some of them were clients of his and he knew almost all the secrets and lore of the park.

I loved doing that path with my male agent. You can seduce the tech chick who will tell you everything you want to know without ever talking to that other dude. Of course she then make an annoying holo call to you when you are about to leave the planet.

Sith are big on individualism, so it's strange to see a gang of six of them acting as a team of equals. Shouldn't they be trying to betray each other over the top spot? Or is what makes them so Dreaded that they've actually set aside petty bickering and work together?

The secret is that there's one consciousness guiding them. Each body acts like both a battery and magnifier for the Dark Side of the Force.

Or maybe that was Naruto.

I have another name for the Unknown Regions. I call it the Chiss Empire. It's pretty much the range where they actively gently caress up other colonies, so nobody can really expand into it. They're kinda jerks that way.

Edit: I don't know if this is true or not, but I have suspicions.

The Unknown Regions are called such because poo poo there is constantly shifting and moving around in odd patterns. There reason for this is the huge black holes in the region that pull poo poo every which way while orbiting themselves. Also it's the "barbaric" region of space.

Nerd Moment: Midichlorians, the bacteria in the blood that make Jedi and Sith what they are, allow their hosts to manipulate the Force. The Force is always there, in and around everything.
