 Read the spoiler policy at the bottom of this post! Hello and welcome to the Let's Play Star Wars: The Old Republic thread for the four Republic classes. This thread is a companion to Moon Slayer's esteemed effort to explore SWTOR, alongside PoptartsNinja, Catsworth and Weaponboy. SWTOR is a faction-based MMO with four Imperial and four Republic classes, each with their own story alongside faction-specific content. Since the original thread is already covering the four Imperial classes, and since four playthroughs is already a lot for one thread to bear, the Republic classes have been split off into their own thread. Much of Moon Slayer's OP has been lifted and repurposed here, but be sure to check out the original for a more thorough and complete introduction to the game! Moon Slayer posted:Star Wars: The Old Republic, is an MMORPG developed by Bioware and released in December 2011. It takes place roughly 300 years after the original Knights of the Old Republic and 3,500 years before Episode 4. It is unique among MMO's in that it attempts to tell an RPG-like story throught the game. Allmost all quest givers are voice-acted and there are cut scenes, companions, all that good RPG stuff. We already have four brave volunteers to provide the four Republic classes. Each of us will be writing our particular playthrough slightly differently, with different approaches to reader participation and voting should there be any. And with that our quest(s) begin! For the Republic! Guild Stuff Want to join us on our merry adventure? Free Republic on the server The Harbinger will be happy to take you on, provided you can find one of the following members: LPer's Qui'nine Jolune R'andayn Todessa Others and alts Ellestapholisa Brah'gon Chee'tarii Ja'yara Arkanun Ma'rxkarl Perfuga Dalmina Note: The Let's Play-ers such as myself may only be on sporadically, so mailing one of us might have a long turn-around on a response. I'm only really on when I need to run another planet for screenshots and videos, for example. Dolash fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Feb 17, 2014 |

      ##Begin Log## Well, looks like time to start a new journal. Captain’s Log, entry #001 Stardate: A few minutes off my worst run of bad luck yet. Here I am again. Figured I better put down as much as I can now, while it's fresh in my memory. A nice, clean break. A little too clean for my tastes – I should’ve known the credits were too good. Gun-running’s good work, and I’ve got the sort of debts that make you jump at a deal that’s a little sweet. I’m getting ahead of myself again. Let’s get back to my latest bad hand. It all started earlier today, when I punched my way through the mess in orbit over Ord Mantell… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDtW7HKcJh0 A nice, easy job. Just haul a load of military-grade blasters through a warzone while both sides take pot-shots at me and park it in some quiet little port out in the sticks. Payment on delivery. I didn't know who the client was exactly, but my contact explained the guns were going to be pointed at the separatists, not the Republic. Maybe my army days have left me a little soft-hearted when a mission promises patriotism plus a paycheck. Whatever the reason, I took the job and the blasters and blew through the orbital space-battle without stopping. I found the landing pad, dropped struts, and for a while there everything was looking up.  Welcome to Ord Mantell, population: disgruntled. Skavak was my contact at the point of delivery. I didn't know just who he was supposed to haul these blasters to, and I didn't care to ask. So long as he had the credits, I should've been off that planet in no time.  That tattoo was the first warning sign. I should've took off the moment I saw the thing, yeesh. quote:Quinine: Who are these people? What are they after?  If this story ended here I’d be writing this log over a steak dinner and a bottle or three of Corellian red. That wouldn’t be enough fun though, so here comes trouble…  quote:Skavak: Woah! Slow down, slow down, Corso. What are you talking about?  What can I say? I had my priorities straight. quote:Skavak: Let’s move, Corso. We’re running out of time.  Soon as they walked away I got this funny feeling. Like I’m never going to see her again.  Leaving the hangar I could see what they wanted all the blasters for. There were still some bits of village left standing, after all. Maybe another artillery barrage or two and the Republic would classify the village ‘saved’. My first contacts are friendly. By their uniforms they were Mantellian scouts seconded to the Republic, which has got to be a pretty sorry job in the middle of a civil war. Still, they had some good cover, and I’m never one to say no to ducking my head down for a minute.  quote:Sergeant Blyes: You look like you know your way around a blaster. Wanna be a hero?  quote:Quinine: Any idea on how to solve that problem?  Normally I don't do commando raids for charity, but since I was stuck gunning my way through the village anyway to switch off that air defense cannon, I figured I might as well do the working stiff a solid.  Besides, who doesn't like watching expensive stuff that doesn't belong to them explode?  My good deed for the day done, I tracked down the place the separatists were broadcasting from. It wasn't too hard, just look for the house with the military-grade antenna array on the roof.  Security was a bit thin. It's not like they were expecting me, but if this was the network hub for their big guns then maybe post more than two guys.  They weren't even heavies, just some arts-and-crafts wannabes working on the latest advertising push for the glorious revolution. Why is it rebels are always so image-conscious? Looks like I'd found the right place, at least. This kind of hardware couldn't come cheap - a combination receiver/transmitter decrypting military transmissions and reprogramming air defense networks? Cracking this nut meant overcoming some of the best network security in the business.  I handled it with my usual soft touch.  Of course, just as I'm admiring my work, my comm starts buzzing and I start feeling all the hair on my neck stand up.  quote:Quinine: Is my ship alright? Typical. You don’t need to tell me when a deal’s gone south. My scars started to itch the moment that kid’s holo cut out. Even so, Blyes was on the way, and I figured if there was trouble ahead he might be able to pay me back.  quote:Sergeant Blyes: Thanks to you we’re cutting through the separatist interference. Be reporting back to base in no time. Here—A little something from our private stock. Watch your hide out there, hero.  It’s amazing what a new blaster can do for your confidence walking into an ambush.  The seps I found combing the hangar weren’t expecting me. Looks like they’d already done whatever they’d come in to do and these were just a few stragglers cleaning up the mess.  I can’t say I was in much of a mood to talk it out, though.  Corso wasn’t dead. Kid must be tougher than he looks the way those three guests had worked him over.  And right there. That's when I hear the thrusters powering up, and I know my luck's turned sour.   quote:Quinine: That scum stole my ship! I want it stated for the record that keeping a straight face while Corso complained about his missing blaster while I watch my pride and joy fly away with all my hopes, dreams and credits was probably the hardest part of this whole day. quote:Quinine: We can’t let him get away with it.  quote:Quinine: Bring me my ship back and I’ll consider forgiving you.  quote:Quinine: I think you’re celebrating a little early.  Captain. Sounds a bit stupid without a ship, doesn’t it?  Well, that’s the heart of it. I’m a smuggler who can’t smuggle, outplayed by a punk with some embarrassing ink and now my only hope is a backwater cargo foreman whose shipment I lost.  Better start dressing warm. Something tells me I'm going to be doing a lot of walking from now on. ##End Log##

Female Darkside Twi'Lek named R'andayn Personality: Space Libertarian Somewhat of a mirror-image of Mort, I guess. I want to see Mort's utter disgust when they eventually meet. Twi'Lek because... Honestly, I picked a random race. e: Added an apostrophe to the name, it's Star Wars after all.

Hmm, Jedi Knight: 1 - Male, so we get the full David Hayter experience naturally 2 - Mirialan, it's not easy being green, but you get decent ink at least 3 - Light Side; yeah it's the "boring" option but it's kind of hard to bring myself to vote for being a real rear end in a top hat with a Jedi Knight. However... 4 - F, Nothing says you can't be SARCASTIC about it. If there's anything about the Jedi Knight storyline that's held true so far in my playthrough, it's that you wind up surrounded by Republic morons. Obviously the best thing to do is inform them of their EDIT: Also, for the smuggler playthrough, if at possible take the "talk your way out of trouble" options at every opportunity, they are funnier than hell.

Good to see the other side popping up. Text is pretty miniscule in those screenshots though. Can it be scaled up a bit to something more easily readable? Voting! Female, Miralukan cause I always liked Visas for some reason. Light Side, but gently caress the Jedi. She can get more helpful poo poo done by following her own rules.

The Sith have already given us a light-sided male Sith Warrior, so it's only fair the Jedi endure a dark-sided female Jedi Knight, race is whichever according to the rest of the votes. D for personality, since being a reluctant Jedi gives you more opportunities to point out weird stuff the Jedi do and odd writing quirks. I cannot comment on your sleeping arrangements, since the Smuggler has been given a glass house from which to throw stones when it comes to discussing others' promiscuity. Edit: VVVV Yeah, I'll take a vote on that when I reach that point, since I can play both ways easily enough. Dolash fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Feb 10, 2013 |

You've got the Smuggler voice down. Very well done. I'm glad the Republic thread has started. I've got all the Republic classes in at least the mid-twenties, unlike my Imperial characters that are mainly still on Dromund Kaas. It's nice not to have to worry as much about spoilers for stuff I haven't done yet. Will you be taking votes on the Smuggler's Advanced Class, or has that already been decided?

my dad posted:Female Darkside Twi'Lek named R'andayn To be fair, you could also run with a Light Side and Mort would probably still be disgusted because of slavish adherence to the Jedi. And if we're playing basically as the Anti-Mort, Mirialan is a better bet for a species than Twi'lek.

I don't really care about the race/gender combination, but I vote: E gently caress the Jedi ways, those guys are chumps! C While we're loving the Jedi ways, let's gently caress everything else too. I'm sure he's constantly on double secret probation anyways. Might as well enjoy it before we get thrown out of the Order.

Female darkside something or other, because seriously I'll be damned if I know what any of those races other than human and twi'lek mean. But gently caress the Jedi and their dumb rules, and gently caress everything else while you're at it. Jedi are stupid and their code is stupid. No emotion and no passion? Sounds boring as poo poo. e: actually make her a Twi'lek because then she's like bizarro-Vette from the Imperial LP.
