I Think I Missed The Point

[redhedlvr2]

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.

Yeah, I was pretty much pure lightside, but still didn't get the lightside ending. (Both lightside and darkside seem kind of hard to get without knowing what exact choices you need to make to bring them on, so I suspect going forward, the "neutralish" ending will be canon.) I don't think that the ending really cares at all what you do with Jaedus. (Although maybe it does a bit in the darkside ending.) Which is weird. (Blah, I really wish they'd kept all five - it makes so much more sense.)

I didn't ever realize there were three endings. It's going to be a tough decision what direction to take my new female agent. Lol! So many agents, so little time.

I know! You're going to have to decide whether she's good or evil, and which brand of good or evil. (Ironically, you can be really evil and get the good ending and vice versa. I am so tempted to try...)
