I thought the voice acting for Inquisitor was very good, typical Imperial villiany accent with lots of hatred. He sounds absolutely awesome with the right mask. I bought the Inquisitor armor stet set off the Cartel market. Very cool mask and cloak. And it makes him sound positively cold and evil

The bounty hunter male was great because he had a pack a day cigarrette growl to him and a bit of the whole me against the world act going.

Both were good. The Smuggler and the Sith Warrior are probably the best in terms of voice acting.

Ugh. I'm off to work again and must endure yet another 20 days sans SWTOR. I got a little bit addicted. I need a decent gaming laptop or sonething.

Any laptops out there that could run SWTOR decently for around $500? Minutely off topic but still on topic I guess.

I had a great star wars fight last night with my Jedi Sentinel, I ran into a Sith Jug. We were slashing away with lightsabers, He went for the force choke, and I blocked his dark side mojo. Then I picked up a rock with my brain and smashed him in the face with it, then I thit him with a stun and used my force push to drive him off of a cliff to a sharp pointy death below.

Ever since then they've called me the champ. You can call me Master Champ.

The best character for fighting other players was the smuggler, there's nothing more satisfying then stunning someone with a kick to the nards followed by a pistol butt stroke to the head.

I love the fact that all of my characters have a kick to the nards as one of their heroic powers.

I went into a pvp game of huttball and most have doled out 2 dozen ball shots in a 10 minute game.

Did you all try the space expansion on the PTS last weekend? (It should be up again this weekend) - super fun. Dulfy has a good guide up on it.

If anyone here thats playing is looking for a casual but fairly active guild on the Bastion, I co-run one called Splatter Pattern - pst Morgawse.

Geez Madman I think we're on the same box.

I have a 55 Sith Assasin, 55 Imperial Operative, 51 Sith Jug, 51 Mercenary on the Imperial side

On the republic side, a 55 Scoundrel and a 53 Vanguard and a level 10 Counseler.

Sorry I didn't see your responses We are an IMP side guild. Both of you feel free to in game mail Morgawse or whisper me - You'd be welcome additions to our guild... we have been heavy recruiting some lowbies to get our numbers up so guild has +10% rep/XP again. Core group for end game content is solid and good people... mostly mid 30's gamers. We want to get enough to start doing 16mans.

Now that space is in the game (for subscribers) what do you guys think? I think its a great time personally... Love my S-13 Scout... pretty much all I play. We do a Friday night Guild Space PVP thing... just casual if people want to group up for space we do it. Come as you are when you want, leave when your done kind of thing.

I think space is a nice extra way to kill some time, when I am tired of ground PVP, no PVE to do it's one more thing to work on and its a lot of fun.

Been getting back into this lately and finding it fun again. I get the impression that I'll enjoy playing 2-3 characters from start to end, then need to put it down again. The "grind" quests between the storyline quests are just TOO "grindy" for me to enjoy. Working up a Knight and a Bounty Hunter this time around.

Yeah, I've been playing around with Galactic Star Fighter, its a lot of fun, I look forward to them adding more maps, there's also rumors of different type of missions like taking down capital ship meetings etc.

Its not too deep, but its fun to go out and dog fight. I will say that I think the Scout Fighter class is the most fun because your outgunned, but you can basically shut down enemy fighters, and you have to hit and run.

Gun Ship is tough for me because its basically the Sniper of the Stars with the rail gun, but not maneuvering while you use it makes you really vulnerable against anyone who knows how to bob and weaver.

My Jedi Councillor story is starting to get really interesting but is still weak compared to the other stories.

In terms of my story rankings now

Imperial Agent - You work for Imperial intelligence to unwrap a galaxy wide conspiracy against a powerful shadow energy, but not everything is as it seems and you are put into jeopardy as you unwrap this mystery. I think this is the only story where your dark and light side choices really effect the end.

Sith Warrior - I loved this story, as a powerful Sith you are apprenticed to a member of the Dark Council. Not surprisingly this story is heavy on betrayal and revenge. This story is best played dark and has an incredibly cool attachment to KOTOR.

Smuggler - Ok this storyline isn't all that deep as you really are a Han Solo character swept into the war as you chase glory and fortune. What really makes this character is the character itself. With sarcasm and wit and the ability to womanize your way across the galaxy some of the dialogue choices will make you laugh pretty hard.

Bounty Hunter - I liked this story because you are a heavily armed killing machine out to make money by becoming the best bounty hunter in the galaxy and you know you won't die in the dumbest way possible by falling into a Sarlac. The line from AOTC I'm just a simple man trying to make his way in the galaxy. You see the Republic as the hypocrites that they are, but your not all that happy with the Empire either. What would have made this story is if the Bounty Hunter was faction neutral

Sith Inquisitor - This character to me is fun to play because who doesn't like throwing lightning at your enemy as you yell "Power Unlimited Power". This is the story of being a slave who thirsts for and pursues power, there is betrayal and backstabbing in this game. I was hoping for the inquisitor to be more like Sideous and the Warrior more like Vader. But I will admit that the roles seemed to be reversed as the Warrior seduces people to the darkside and the storyline forces you to be cunning. The Sith Warrior while cool is more of an evil brute who stays a slave through most of the story. I will admit that this character became my only completely evil character who followed the Sith mantra to a tee.

Republic Trooper - You are a new elite trooper assigned to the best special forces unit in the galaxy. That's how this story starts, and while there are some very fun moments as you go to war against the Empire. You just seem to be over powered in a lot of ways in your effect on galactic events. I don't know, it just seemed too much like a propaganda movie with your trooper yelling "For the Republic" as he rushes almost single handedly into battle. There is a great betrayal storyline in here but your almost forced to play light side for this to work.

Jedi Counciller - I don't know yet as I'm only in chapter one, but its a decent story, but the voice acting in this character isn't great compared to stellar voice acting in the other story. But I'm intrigued by a plague driving Jedi Masters insane

Jedi Knight - I'm saving this for last because it pretty much spans all the story lines and effects them all. I'll probably do this one after knight.

Stories that are replayable. Imperial Intelligence because the choice effects are huge. Sith Warrior because I would like to try different things now that I know how to play the game. Smuggler, because it would be fun to play a don't give a crap dark side character.

I'd probably agree with your ranking, except that Jedi Knight and BH would be switched for me - almost exactly - I have a 55 of each class now so have seen all the stories... My warrior was first and so that story and experience still has a special place for me but the agent was really cool. They could be tied for 1st in my books and I'd be ok with that.

Jedi Knight was a lot of fun so 3rd for me, then it would be smuggler, Inquis, Counciller, BH, trooper.

Scout has definitely been my ship of choice. I kick ass with it :P

I really like Scout if you're on a good team. You basically use it to go whipping through a capture point. because you know that you will draw off a whole bunch of defenders, and you always leave that one poor guys who will stay to defend while screaming for his wingmen to get back. Then you have your strike fighters come screaming into the now lightly defended point while a guy in the gunship snipes away happily.

If you have a good team with good tactics it doesn't just break down into a bunch of one on one dogfights.

I had the total Top gun moment where I was in a strike fighter with another buddy flying on my wing. And I was waiting patiently for him to kill this fighter, but frankly he sucks. So I look at my radar and see another enemy fighter nearby, send a quick message to my wingman that basically said "You're looking great", and I peeled off to go after a kill of my own.

Not more then two seconds later my former wing man gets vapped. The guy I'm chasing basically pulls an immelmen and goes heads on guns with me and cleans my clock.

Its actually a really fun addon, I can't wait for more content.

BTW they have a neat life day event starting today where you can hit people with snowballs and get rewards for it that allow you to get a free Santa sleigh as your speeder.

Just finished the Knight storyline last night (in between bouts of dealing with the stomach flu going around) and really enjoyed it. Really felt like I was doing important things, which is great for a game.

The Knight story is really supposed to be the binding story for all of the other stories

I finally managed to get my PC working properly so I brought it up north with me because I was having withdawals. Hit 25 on my Guardian last night. Story is going well so far. I finished Nar Shadaa and suddenly I had 4 conversations with Kira.

A defence Guardian and a DPS companion makes for a pretty easy time. Can't wait to get my healer though.

Usually I can't wait for my healing companion, there's usually a point in the game where it becomes a lot tougher to solo the game without one.

With my cunsulor I'm at level 50 on Voss and I haven't used my healer yet. I've used my tank companion while I sit back and throw rocks at peoples head.

One nice thing about overleveling is that you feel a bit more like a powerful Jedi or Sith because you can really hurt people quickly.

It does impact your rewards though.

I'm playing as a free-to-play so I have to finish each planet if I hope to survive the next.
