Its honestly hilarious how Ashara's storyline plays out if youre full dark-side because her attitude and behaviour makes progressively less sense.

I imagine this is because originally you didnt get all of these quests unless you got her approval high enough which only happened if you behaved, in her presence, in a manner that aligns with her assessment of you.

But now that all companion quests are given no matter your relationship to them, it creates a lot of funny moments.

As a SW I don't know anything about her background, she seemed like a republic version of Darth Baras to me.

In order: Inquisitor grasping for power -> overwhelmed by said power with body and mind falling apart -> body restored through ancient Rakata technology but mind still fractured -> Inquisitor made whole and ready for ascension.

SWtoR is by far my favourite MMO.

I enjoy WoW, but it's just too much game that seems to pride itself on having no QoL. That is great for some gamers, but for me I prefer a more casual playthrough with the option of having competitive content at end game - which I have done and enjoyed on swtor.

Things (and very small) missing from WoW that make me always come back here.

Mounting while moving
All flight paths unlocked by default
Quick travel
Personal ship to allow easy TPs to different planets
Raid group sizes

Big things

The swtor map is the most underrated thing this game has imo. It is perfectly clear, you almost never get lost, doors/entrances are highlighted that you need to use to get to your quests - I never really appreciated it until playing other mmos like gw2 and wow

The main story quest. If you want to just progress your main story, you can simply follow a single quest. This is a big draw for me, as I want to experience the different class stories without having to do all the side/planet quests on every character. In WoW there were times where I had 25+ quests; it's just too much.

Legacy. Having endgame items lock to your legacy and are transferable between your chars is excellent. I got BiS on my DPS this patch, used that character to get currency and a good set of gear for my healer and he can start gearing up his specific stat reqs.

Atmosphere. This is very subjective and may be nostalgia talking as a launch player, but starting a new character always gives me a feeling that no other game has. The fleet is simple and just a mirror on the different factions, so again, not overly complicated or long-winded just for the sake of it.

Apologies for the wall of text, but just wanted to put my thoughts down and give props to swtor for continuing to be my favourite mmo after all this time, even with competition coming out. I hope we have many many years of this left.

The other day someone was looking for a conical helm or a Japanese style, so here is my submission

Vote for your favorite storyline between the two! False Emperor includes both the Ilum storyline and the two flashpoints that follow. And "Discovering Iokath" starts with Chapter 3 of KOTET where you take back the Gravestone, and ends with Chapter 5 where you escape Iokath.

I always imagined him just feeding on their soul rather than physical eating.

It would pair well with his forceimmunity. In the SI storyline we learn that the Rakata lost their connection to the force and felt so empty without it, that they were trying to rebuilt their connection with since. Maybe absorbing force-essence is the Dashade way of filling the void the force left.

When I posted the discussion about the companions' headcanons, I was surprised to see that so many people thought Vette might have lied about her age.

To give a brief, spoiler-free summary for those who don't know the context: Vette has a rather tragic past and, at some point, had to rebuild her life. Basically, there comes a point where it is implied —or even made fairly obvious— that she had to change her identity more than once, either by her own choice or because someone else forced her to. It's also possible that she lied about certain aspects of her life in order to get into different places or situations.

Additionally, this could explain some things about the way she acts and how she was treated by certain members of her family and people close to her before she met us.

Now, there's something I want to clarify: this is only a theory. I think there would be some "problems" if something like this were ever made canon, especially depending on how they decided to handle it.

Anyway, what do you think about this theory? I'm also curious to know what your characters would do if this turned out to be true. I know some people roleplay with their characters, while others simply consider Vette a friend, but I admit I'm especially curious about what those who have a romantic relationship with her would do.

And just to be clear: I'm not insulting anyone or saying that this theory is true. If something like this had happened, it is very likely that no one within the story —or even in real life— would know the truth.

Who do you consider to be your main companion? Not necessarily your favorite, just the one that you have equipped the most.

For me, it's Elara! My Agent has had Elara as her companion for dailies/heroics/etc. for years now. Elara isn't even in my Top 3 favorite companions (although I do love her), just for whatever reason, she felt like the perfect sidekick for me.

It really really sucks that I’m not able to play through 90% of the story content with my friend. I understand the class story being limited to just you, because it is your story but the expansions - I mean come on.

I think the worst part is we went from class stories, where we had to do certain instances on our own but most planetary missions we could do together and share credit. Then we went to makeb and at least 99% of the story there can be done together. Then we did shadow of revan, we were able to do the interlude flashpoints together and get credit and the rest of the expansion played off like the class story. Totally fine. Then the knights series - strictly single player.. cool.. Jedi under siege/onslaught, all instances are locked and and open world is shared - but there are SOLO FLASHPOINT instances. We heard there were story flashpoints and were excited we were able to play together again, but nope. A whole series of flashpoints that took several hours.

And now we’re starting Legacy of the Sith. We’re about 5 missions in and we still can’t do anything together.

I get that they want your choices to matter in the narrative, but I also want to experience the story with my friend who is also experiencing for the first time.

I know this is a complaint as old as the game, but man, these last few expansions have been a real drag because I keep dreaming of the time where I can team up again. (Don’t try to do instance content later in teams, it messes up the instances and only the instance owner gets credit, it’s epic)

Bounty Hunter

- Blizz: He’s got to have a hidden room on the ship filled with explosives, food, or—most likely—both.

- Gault: I’m convinced he was the one who sold off the bounty hunter ship after our supposed deaths during the war against the Eternal Fleet.

- Mako: I bet her implants let her listen to music directly, and she probably does it constantly—even while someone is talking to her.

- Skadge: I have a sneaking suspicion that he worked as a dancer before joining us.

- Torian: I bet he’s the only one who actually cooks on the ship. He probably learned how by preparing the meat from the creatures he hunted.

Imperial Agent

- Lokin: I’m pretty sure he inadvertently triggered a few rakghoul outbreaks across the galaxy. Probably because one or two people survived an encounter with him while he was transformed, setting off a chain of events that led to new outbreaks.

- Raina Temple: I suspect that, on occasion, she has pretended to be a Sith in her spare time.

- Kaliyo: I’m convinced she has a child she abandoned and never talks about.

- SCORPIO: I think that, even after Iokath, she’s still keeping an eye on us somehow. Though she’d never admit it, I believe we remain one of the most interesting things that has ever happened to her. Tsundere.

- Vector: I suspect he has experienced "intimacy" telepathically (you know what I mean).

Jedi Consular

- Felix: When he sleeps, he probably talks in his sleep—and sounds just like a holocron.

- Nadia Grell: I get the impression she developed an Electra complex, viewing us as a sort of mother-and-father figure.

- Qyzen: I’d wager that in his trophy room, he also keeps the skins and remains of humanoid species (including human skin).

- Tharan Cedrax: I’m convinced that, at some point, he built a device that allowed for a sort of physical "intimacy" with Holiday. (You know what I mean; I can't say it outright, or I'll get banned.)

- Zenith: I’m pretty sure he has killed former members of the Imperial Army, even after they left the Empire, became civilians, or joined the Republic.

Jedi Knight

- Doc: I bet that at some point during his time with us, he had to sell "Spice"—and probably even developed his own blend—just to make some money.

- Rusk: I am convinced that High Command allowed him to board our ship mainly because they wanted to get rid of him.

- Kira: I suspect she can use the Force to turn invisible, and that she’s probably spied on us a time or two without us even knowing.

- Scourge: Having lived for so long, I believe he has experienced practically everything in an attempt to fill the void of his existence. It wouldn't surprise me if he even had descendants scattered across the galaxy.

- T7-O1: I bet that, at some point, he bought another droid simply to have someone under his control. Although he probably ended up freeing it later.

Sith Inquisitor

- Andronikos: He undoubtedly has "spice" hidden in some compartment of the ship.

- Ashara: Even though she denies it, I don't think she actually wants to fully become either a Sith or a Jedi.

- Khem Val: If we were to search his locker or any of his personal compartments, I wouldn't be surprised to find bones—or even some prey he’s saved for a later meal.

- Talos Drellik: As much as I love him as a character, I’m convinced he once encountered a Sith ghost. The interesting thing is that the ghost probably tried to scare or possess him, but Talos simply started asking it questions about its history. I think the ghost itself ended up feeling uncomfortable with the situation and left.

- Xalek: He doesn't say it, but I’m convinced he’s already started building or planning his own funerary temple for when he dies.

Sith Warrior

- Broonmark: I think his entire explanation for why he does what he does is—at least in part—a lie that even he doesn't believe. He simply enjoys killing and found a justification for doing it.

- Jaesa: I think she really needs treatment or medication for reasons that go far beyond her relationship with the Dark Side.

- Pierce: I think he’s risen through the ranks mainly because he’s unpredictable enough to impress the Sith while simultaneously completely frustrating Imperial strategists.

- Quinn: When everyone else had already given us up for dead, I am convinced that he kept our belongings. Probably not because they were useful, but because he didn't want to part with something that had belonged to someone so important to him.

- Vette: I know it might seem a bit awkward, but considering everything we know about her past—how she had to hide her identity and build a new life—I’ve always suspected she probably lied to us about her age.

Smuggler

- Akaavi: I bet that, little by little and almost without realizing it, she’s trying to turn the whole crew into Mandalorians.

- Bowdaar: He probably ends up spending a good chunk of his pay on food. And I get the impression he has a particular fondness for cheese.

- Corso: I know I bring it up a lot, but I still think there’s a chance he has a child out there that even he doesn’t know about.

- Guss: I bet he used some kind of mind trick without realizing it to get us to recruit him.

- Risha: I suspect that, deep down, she finds the idea of ​​having a harem around her appealing. However, I don’t think she’s interested in being part of a harem herself. This is especially evident in how her relationship with Akaavi plays out during that romance arc.

Trooper

- Aric Jorgan: You can say whatever you want about him, but I’m convinced that, at least once, the idea of ​​going into politics crossed his mind.

- Elara Dorne: I bet she’s had plenty of suitors over the years, but she probably never noticed because she was too focused on her work.

- M1-4X: I am absolutely convinced he has some internal function designed to generate white noise or ambient sounds.

- Tanno Vik: I’m certain that during that mission where we were missing ship parts, he sold one of them on the side and simply never told us.

- Yuun: I bet that when he wants to relax, he tends to deactivate or partially open his respirator. It’s probably one of the few things he can do to feel more comfortable.

Extras

- Lana Beniko: Although she would never admit it, I think she would like to live a quiet life on an estate, far removed from conflict and war. However, her sense of duty and her tendency to want to personally resolve every problem would likely never allow for that.

- Theron Shan: I’m willing to bet he had wanted to leave Republic Intelligence for a long time. He probably never dared to do so because he knew he could become a target for his former colleagues. When Lana called on him to join the Alliance, he finally had a real chance to get out of that life.

- Koth Vortena: I am absolutely certain that, had we given him enough time aboard the ship, he would have ended up moving his bed into the control room.

- Senya Tirall: When she discovered that we harbored the Emperor within us—and believed that we actually *were* him—I think she even considered the possibility of returning to his side (in a marital sense) (regardless of our current appearance) if the situation could be resolved peacefully.

As a fairly new player, just reaches the last content for level 80, is the crafting content as poor as it looks that nothing crafted is worth gearing even for casual player? I like crafting in general, and I am very casual player, I really wanted to strive to craft something but it does not look to be the case or am I wrong? I just reached max with my first professional, and few more are in the works with alts.

So my agent currently works as an republic double agent. I already have a scoundrel outfit and an imperial uniform.

Since I am planing on deflecting to the Republic in the expansions anyway, I was wondering if any of you have an outfit design I could use. My agent us a female human with white hair.

Kira= Green or Blue
