PoptartsNinja posted:The Jedi's male voice actor is David Hayter, if that helps anyone decide on gender. After the end of the Jedi Civil War, the galaxy was split into two - Republic and Sith. This marked the beginning of the era known as the Galactic Cold War. ... You adjusted the length of your lightsaber by hand, didn't you? I see what you were trying to do, but testing a technique you've only heard about in the middle of battle wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your saber short out on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for a variable blade in the first place; you tend to twist your elbow a little to absorb the recoil. That's more of a double saber technique.

 Ord Mantell Episode 1 Attack of the Punctuation.      pre:Chaos grips the Galactic Republic. Influential star systems break away from the millennia-old alliance, angered over the Senate's treaty with the Sith Empire. On the planet of Ord Mantell, Civil War erupts between loyal Republic citizens and violent separatist extremists waging a campaign of terror against their own people. Now, an elite young sergeant from the Republic's famous Havoc Squad has arrived to help defeat the separatists and restore peace to this war-ravaged world...   We open up to a battle already in progress. However none of that is our concern. Our business is on the war-blasted planet below.      : Finally. Now where is that contact. : Gonna go ahead and guess that its the only one of that bunch who's wearing armor.   : Approaching Drelliad Village, sir. Scopes show small-arms fire and enemy movements in all quarters. Separatists are definitely moving in on the objective. : Another beautiful day on Ord Mantell! You excited, kid? Nervous? You know, you're the first new entry into Havoc Squad in some time.: I'm aware. I did do my reading before I came here. Besides, I've got nothing to be nervous about - fighting is my life. And please, don't call me kid.: Confidence! I like it! Getting tapped for Havoc Squad at you age is nothing to sneeze at. I'm lieutenant Bex Kolos, but everyone in Havoc calls me Gearbox. We're a tight unit - you'll like it with us.: Nicknames? Please tell me I can at least choose my own when we meet up with the rest of the squad.: No promises, kid. Let me tell you why we're here. The separatists have nabbed a bomb off a downed transport - a serious bomb, one of those orbital strike numbers. : I can do this in my sleep - maybe I will. Didn't get too much on the transport.: Take it from me kid; On an op like this, you don't sleep much.]: Like I said, don't call me-  : Driver! Driver? Blast it he's down. Backwater separatists aren't supposed to have armor-piercing missiles! They'll tear up every convoy that passes through here!]: Sounds like a chance to stretch my legs. If the seps want trouble, let's give them some.]: Sounds good to me, kid. Fixing things is my specialty, kid - I'm nowhere near the fighter you are. I'll stay and get this walker moving again. You'll disable the separatists' missile launchers. Understood?: Yes sir! What are the chances this thing'll be moving by the time I'm done? : Not sure, honestly. But it takes months to requisition a new one. The separatists will probably have their missile launchers piled together in a cache some where in the village - and you can bet that cache will be heavily guarded. You understand your orders, Sergeant?: Wade through lots of angry seps with guns pointed my direction and then blow up a pile of explosives. : Good luck out there, kid.    : Considerably less resistance than I thought. Where the hell is everybody? : Well at least this wasn't hard to find. Now how did my bomb diffusion course go again? Oh yeah.  : I, however, didn't have much success. This walker isn't gonna be moving anytime soon.]: It's fine, I was getting tired of sitting anyways. So what happens next?: I'm gonna stay here and salvage all the goodies off this wreck before somebody else does. You better head for Fort Garnik. Be sure to keep a lookout for seps along the way - they can come can come at you out of nowhere.: Without anyone else to slow me down, I'll be just fine.: You'd probably move even faster if you dropped some of that attitude, kid.  : With you calling me kid? Not gonna happen.   [img]http://lpix.org/1074407/IMG][/img]: Watch your head out there. Separatists deployed snipers in the area last week. Good snipers. Plenty of casualties between here and Fort Garnik. Those seps will shoot at anything. : So burn them out then. Launch a bomb their way.[img]http://lpix.org/1074407/IMG][/img]: Not an option. Too many civilians in the area - the refugees, from the war-torn settlements. They pass through on the way to Fort Garnik. Boom. Sniper bait. : Then why tell me? [img]http://lpix.org/1074407/IMG][/img]: Fort Garnik wants those snipers retired ASAP. Commander Vray even offered a week's pay to anyone who makes it happen. : Seems like a walker crew would be better suited for this, but count me in.[img]http://lpix.org/1074407/IMG][/img]: drat glad to hear it, sir. If you take out the snipers, report to Commander Vray at the refugee camp outside Fort Garnik. Good hunting.  :     : With those Snipers out of commission, the refugees have a fighting chance of making it out of here alive. Valor like yours must be rewarded. A week's pay, as promised - and you have my gratitude. drat fine work.: You might wanna set up guard towers in the future to prevent this sort of thing.     : Yeah. Who're you? : I'm Farn, sir. Private Farn. It's a real honor to meet you! Ord Mantell is my first post - I can't believe I'm here at the same time as Havoc Squad!: ...Oh lord. : And you're so... er, wha-what I mean to say is, uh, sir, is that I wasn't expecting you to be a woman, sir. Ma'am! Sergeant!: Do you have a problem with female officers, Private?: No! no, no, no, of course not, Sergeant! It's just that you're so... uh, what I mean is, uh, nevermind. If, uh, if you don't mind me asking, sir, what's your mission here? Why would Havoc Squad be sent to Ord Mantell?: You're really asking me this? Look kid, I'm sure not here to answer stupid and classified questions.: Oh, uh, yes, sir. Sorry, sir. I, uh, I won't take up any more of your time, Sergeant. I'm sure you have lots of important things to do.: Did you requisition the Fort's entire supply of comma's for that bit? Anyway, get lost.: Uh, yes, sir! Right away, sir!: Weird kid.   : Good to have you here. I'm Commander Harron Tavus, Havoc Squad's commanding officer. We're all excited to have some new blood in the unit. Let me introduce you to the other members of Havoc Squad.  : Sergeant.  : Oh, uh, yes, hello, Sergeant. Good to meet you.  : Perfection is my art, Sergeant. It will be my honor to help you perform at your very best.: And of course you met Gearbox on your way here, so that's everyone. People this is the new sergeant I mentioned - ranked first in the Academy in Forward Assault, Search and Destroy, and Advance Recon. It's good to have you, Sergeant.: I look forward to showing you what I can do.: Now, the reason why we're all here: A Republic transport, carrying among its cargo a ZR-57 orbital strike bomb, crashed in Northern Avilatan six days ago. Recovery unit sent a team, but they were too late. Separatist forces had already stolen the transport's cargo, including the ZR-57, and fled.: Someone on our side must have tipped the seps off then.: Yes, we've considered that - but we don't have time for a mole hunt. Recovering that bomb is priority one.: The ZR-57 is - well, it's serious hardware, you know? I mean, it can pretty much vaporize the whole island. So, we'd better get it back or, well, boom.: We're investigating several leads to the bomb's location, but the one I'd like you to look into, Sergeant, comes from a Republic Spy named Bellis. : What if Bellis' information doesn't lead us to the bomb, sir?: Then we'll have one less lead requiring our attention. : Since we're on individual missions to search for this bomb, Lieutenant Jorgan is coordinating our efforts from here within the mission room.  : I can handle myself. sir. And don't call me rookie. : The other members of Havoc have proven themselves on dozens of ops, Sergeant, you haven't. Just make your way to Talloran, meet with Bellis, and find out what he knows without screwing anything up.: : Good luck at Talloran, Sergeant. Dismissed.

Haha, really TOR? A top elite squad of like three people, that everyone in the republic has heard of? Named 'Havoc Squad'? With characters named Wraith, Needles, Gearbox, and Fuse? Who stereotypically each have one specialty and are just the best, you guys, trust me okay? They've done like thousands of missions and everybody loves them?

This is like every bad fanfiction rolled into one and then released as an official product. IIRC, the narrative idea is that Republic Special Forces are something on the order of SEAL/SAS/Spetsnaz/(insert special-ops unit of choice) teams, and Havoc's supposed to be the best of them. Imperial players mow down plenty of other such Special Forces squads over the course of the game.

Inferior posted:A brief explanation of this LPs format-  CHAPTER 1: TOUCHDOWN ON TYTHON  Wait for it....  Admit it, you can hear the theme blaring inside your head     Planet Tython. This little intro movie is done in snazzy CGI, and you'd better enjoy it because it's all game engine cutscenes from here on out.  There's our ride. Well, that's the CGI finished, hope you liked it!  As we fly in we observe some Padawans making a rockery with telekinesis. Next: lightsaber topiary.     : Man, that was a loooong flight. If I had to spend just one more day cooped up on a sweaty Republic battleship playing Extreme Pazaak with the mouse droids, I'd probably go Sith. : ... well, maybe not full Sith. Just enough to electrocute those cheating little bastar... Hey, giant statues of old women. Our ancestors worshipped the funniest things. : Where do I need to go anyway? Maybe that geezer with the topknot knows.  : This is the ancestral home of our order, where the Jedi first came to be. And where our most promising Padawans complete their training. : Also, I'm a big fan of all the giant enigmatic statues you have here. They really liven up the place!: ...Moving on... : I was... hoping your new Master would be here. Yuon left her dig site and is returning to Tython specifically to train you.: If Master Yuon's so keen to train me, you'd think she'd show up on time: A Jedi Master's time is rarely her own. Patience. Recall the Jedi Code.  : Boring? Is that the answer? Don't leave me hanging.  : This crisis is the reason you were delayed? : Precisely.Yuon Par is unique in that she's the only person with a Welsh accent in the entire universe. Diversity!  :These holograms may be records of the founders of the Jedi Order- they're absolutely irreplaceable. But a large group of Flesh Raiders has begun rampaging through that region; those priceless holograms are in danger! : Though I think I saw a film on Space Cinemax called “Flesh Raider” once.: The Flesh Raiders are Tython's natives. Savage cannibals who destroy everything in their path. : Including the hologram's projectors. Combat teams are pushing the Flesh Raiders back, but retrieving the holograms is the first task of your training.: No. Yuon, you can't risk a Padawan against Flesh Raiders, even for such important artifacts.: A Padawan who was stronger in the force at four years old, than I was at fifteen? Gifted students need greater challenges. : : Pride is not a Jedi virtue, Padawan, nor is overconfidence.:  : The holograms are in the Gnarls. Be vigilant; that region has dangers of its own. If you encounter any difficulties contact me on this holocommunicator. The quest begins!  :Good job this ancient wilderness has Yellow Cabs, it'd be a real pain in the rear end to get around otherwise. Welcome to  We have three combat abilities starting out: 1. Saber Strike, where we hit an enemy with our 2. Project, where we pull a rock out of the ground and smash an enemy with it for decent damage and stun. Always useful. 3. Double Strike, where we hit an enemy with our glowstick... twice! For some reason this costs energy, but hitting once cost nothing. Presumably our noodly arms aren't good at sustained manual exertion. Our energy resource, which we expend to use our special powers, is called Force (duh). Force regenerates at a steady rate over time- none of this variable regen rate claptrap that the other classes have to deal with, which means we can spam powers like they're going out of fashion... assuming the fight doesn't go on too long. Which they all do.  There are four bridges scattered around The Gnarls, each with a holoprojector on, each ready to give you a fascinating lecture on the Jedi Order.   : For a hologram, you're surprisingly articulate : We needed worthy vessels for our knowledge. When the Jedi Order began, I saw we must be dedicated to peace- to calming our emotions, and ending wars across the galaxy. If we fought, it should only be in self-defense. That is the founding principle of civilisation.: Without peace, there could be no art or culture, or politics. No inspirational posters of doves. No Republic. : The Jedi may have changed, but galactic peace has always remained one of our goals. Activation protocol complete. Go well. And the next one is...  : Activation protocol begins. Ah. Another has come to listen.: Another? : True justice can not be driven by emotion. We Jedi can set our passions aside, and seek the truth without fear or favour.: If you can't feel mercy, justice suffers. I disagree with anyone who wears that much black eyeshadow, on principle.: Sorrow for the victim, or outrage at the crime can blind us. To see clearly, feelings must be put aside. It has served us well, we Jedi are renowned for our fairness, our honesty.: And for periodically going crazy and trying to take over the galaxy.: Now that reputation is yours to keep. Though not the going crazy part. It'd be swell if people stopped doing that. Activation protocol complete.  : Activation protocol begins. A new Jedi comes to learn? Excellent, excellent. : I saw us becoming guardians of knowledge and secrets. We Jedi would safeguard the wisdom of the galaxy.: Gathering such knowledge would be a great adventure. Hey, kids! Visit your local library for a learning adventure today!: My travels took me across many worlds, more than any other founder. I saw, heard, dreamed. Jedi seek to dispel ignorance: to understand other cultures, and bring that understanding to others. Never forget that, no matter where your path leads. Activation protocol complete.I like Master Ters' version of what the Jedi should be. It seems more noble than just DESTROY THE DARK SIDE!!!  And finally...  : Hooray!  : Good job 20,000 year old holoprojectors look just like modern ones, else I'd be pretty confused by this stuff.  : Stolen? But the Flesh Raiders don't steal, they destroy. I'll look into this. If you have the other holograms, come and meet me at the Jedi Temple; I'm sending you directions now. And please, Padawan, be careful.NEXT TIME: We tackle the Tython immigration crisis, and Barney the Dinosaur teaches us about Space Racism.

Sure, Vanguard is a decent tank and all, but given the difference in weapons used I have no idea why anybody goes with it over the Commando's option (giant gently caress-off-and-DIE assault cannons forever!). Smuggler at least has cool options either way (though I've been less than fond of healing with one myself), and at least one of the Jedi I hope will take their tank spec.
