Various SWTOR things
So I'm into act 3 on my Trooper, which means time to go to Belsavis, which is a prison planet. And I'm okay with the whole "The Imperials instigated a riot at our prison planet, we need you to help us take care of the situation" plotline. I mean, if I really think about it, like, why the hell are you sending mercenaries to do this, but whatever. Okay.
Except the first group they want you to deal with is... people whose parents/grandparents were incarcerated on the prison planet and who were born there/have lived there their entire lives: ie. people who are rightfully kind of pissed off that they're on a prison planet for NO REASON.
And then everyone acts like I'm crazy for being like "Um. You know they kind of have a point."
Like, holy fuck, this is the worst planet. THE ACTUAL WORST.
Today I decided to suck it up and re-make that Imperial alt after all. So I made a Sith Inquisitor. General chat on the Sith starting planet was full of people talking about how boring the storylines are Repub side, and I'm sitting there the whole time, like, actually, I'm kind of finding Imp side sort of ... lol edgy try-hard. I mean, I'm not sure what I expected from storylines aimed at people who want to play bad guys, but I'm just bored. With the exception of two, all the dark side choices felt like they were just for the ev0lz.
I'm also not sure why my character, who is established in-game as an ex-slave is going to choose any DS option that is pro-slavery, or for the Sith's creepy fixation with blood purity.
On the plus side, she's cute? (Fuck yeah body type 4.) And her first companion is a cranky monstrosity she found sealed in a can in some ruins, which is pretty pro.
And some screencaps I keep meaning to share but don't:
* Yes, the guy with the holographic girlfriend (yes, she's a program) is the romance option for female Jedi Consulars. He also has the whiniest voice. I'm kind of tempted to roll a second Jedi Consular just to play romance option chicken with myself. I'm not sure I could handle it.
* This is the best mob classification ever.
