I Think I Missed The Point
My SWTOR Imperial Agent Operative finished his class storyline last night.
Let's start with Hunter because, oooh baby! Hunter had me going from the first. I just never imagined that Hunter would be a female. But it was a great surprise! My guy got to kiss her and they had a brief h/c moment which wouldn't have happened otherwise. I don't think. I mean, they haven't put in the s/s relationships yet, so it really had me going there for a while. Hunter and Zechs really had some serious chemistry even though they were trying to kill each other for the last two levels or so. So that was pretty ok in my book.
I guess my confused-ness comes from a feeling of, is that all there is? My guy wiped all trace of his existence with the Black Codex and then goes off to serve the Empire whenever they need him? This is the part I'm having trouble with. He is neutral all the way. I mean, he has like 4750 light and 4600 dark points in total. And the interesting this about this is, I didn't notice he was neutral until about level 30. So he has done lots of really, really eeevil things in his career. Actually most of the major plot points along the way were dark side with the lesser points going into light to keep things balanced once I noticed the trend.
There was no major battle at the end other than Hunter. I felt that getting past the elite droids was harder than actually defeating Hunter. And it's because I have uber skillz or anything. I just sicced SCORPIO on Hunter and sat back and healed. I watched this video and have to say, the vidder's conversation choices and mine were almost exactly the same. And we both flew off into the black at the end. I am still sort of left with the feeling that I have missed the point.
Maybe it's because I chose to stay neutral. I mean, where did Darth Jadus go? He just said, see yez, I'm off to Tahiti to check out the babes, you're on your on now. Also, there was no show down with the Minister of Intelligent, or whatever the old, bald dude's title is. We never got along anyway because my guy was always a sarcastic bastard whenever they talked.
It's possible this story line may be closer to the early Mara Jade before the Thrawn series happened. I just finished reading Choices of One and I felt that she had that "I'm only accountable to the Emperor, you can't tell me what to do, but I do have a conscience so I'll sort of have a purpose" thing going on.
It's obvious that I'm going to have to make two more Imperial Agents. One light side and the other dark, so I see and compare the differences.
And then there's SCORPIO. OMG! That's turning out to be an interesting little twist.

I'm excited about three different endings! I'm not sure I really understoon that before. Of course it's gonna take forever to get there because I have other toons I want to work on such as my female sith warrior. I had a male warrior, but when I got to Balmorra I noticed an interesting male npc that I think warriors get for companions. So of course, I had to restart as a female. Not too obsessive, lol.
I've also been thinking I might have to branch out to another server. I feel compelled to keep all one legacy separate from another. You know, maybe one server for light side toons and the other for dark. I started that way except Empire/Republic but now realize they should be by alignment not faction. One could really go nuts with this, hee he.
The ending with Hunter as a male was pretty much like that vid. The only difference is they kiss once (twice maybe?). Everything else was the same. The vidder chose almost the exact same conversation responses that I did so there really wasn't much difference.

The different endings are pretty cool. I wish that they had kept all original 5 (as I don't think neutral works unless you're neutral-good). But, whatever. They are fairly different, although I have no idea how they're going to incorporate all three into the next expansion as they diverge quite a bit...
It's going to take forever for me, too! I currently am trying to level so many toons. I want one of everything, plus at least two agents. (And maybe smugglers...) And I only have a 27 trooper, 25 JC, 20 agent, 18 warrior, 15 BH and 8 JK. *sigh* I mean...I'm never going to finish. But that's okay. Little by little, I guess?
(And I do the restart thing a lot, too. Although I kind of want a SW as darkside Jaesa is so freaking awesome. I want her creepy romance so much. But then, Quinn is cool, too. Yargh, decisions! Luckily, I think I'll be content with one JC, JK, trooper, and BH, so that's something, right?)
I'm working the two server thing as well. I think I divided my characters kind of funny (I agree that DS/LS makes more sense) but...eh. You know. Whatever. I didn't really think my decisions through very well.
Huh, odd. I'm surprised that it was that similar for Hunter with a male character. (I guess I'm just curious as to how the whole "why yes, I totally understand and get your particular brand of crazy and totally ship the glorious adventures of C9 and Hunter as well" leads to kissing. Then again, this is agent and Hunter, so I'm not sure why I'd be surprised that anything they do leads to a kiss or two.
Or random hate sex in any semi-private location for all that.)no subject
I was reading the BW forums. I know, what the hell am I doing that for! And apparently there's lots of operatives out there that feel cheated they took away our chuckle. I'm gonna put in a ticket like someone suggested. "Oh silly me! I just noticed there might be a bug with my operative. He is not chuckling anymore. Please help!" I think they'll bring it back eventually. Especially if enough folks complain. It really was such a cool effect.
As for other toons. I have an abandoned dark jedi warrior lvl 38 and a smuggler 39 on Crevasse City. That's one of those servers that they seriously need to merge with another. I also have a trooper (combat medic lvl 29-ish) there as well. The guild I came over from WoW with just stopped playing. Actually my daughter told me yesterday that I guilt tripped her into playing by buying her and her boyfriend the game for Christmas. There's something wrong with that thought process!
So I don't know what to do either. I'm like you, one of everything and two of certain ones. And work seems to be getting in the way as well. Lol!

My male (and female) agent is pretty much the same. If he can flirt with her, he does his best. (Which tends to be a disaster.) The only exception so far is Kaliyo, as I want a chance with Watcher 2. (So he may or may not end up eventually with Kaliyo. Not sure if she'll like me ignoring her for so long.) It kind of comes off as him being scared of Kaliyo and just desperate for everyone else to like him, which is hilarious, but makes for a rather entertaining character.
Hunter and C9 totally are soul mates. I'm sure my female agent is still in mourning (although, honestly, having Hunter around probably only riled her up and made her more crazy). Oh well. I still highly suspect she dragged the body back on board the ship and keeps pestering Lokin to fix her enemy, because she is insane. (Although not as crazy as your agent's weird relationship with SCORPIO. That is totally going to get your agent killed. Just saying.)
You should totally put in a ticket for the chuckle. I can't believe they took that from operatives. WTF? That was so freaking awesome and I want a chuckle, too. :( Why do they hate ops? Why?
Ah, you're doing so much better at leveling than I am. But, yeah, there are a lot of servers that need merging. (Although I find the daughter thing hilarious. Oh well...whatever it takes, right? I did convince my mom to play, although need to start leveling with her again.)
There are moments when I'm like, "I wish I didn't have to work..." but then I'm like, "no, no, bad idea! Need to cut back on the games, not play more!" But...I want more toons. :(
