I made it through so I feel for you.
Having Quinn did not help matters. I kept trying to kick him off my ship but the game wouldn't let me. Thankfully I have Zombie Quinn now, so he's barely tolerable in that I like to pretend I killed him then kept his force-animated corpse around to amuse myself.

I find Quinn far too dull to have strong feelings about one way or another. Yeah, he's a suck up, but Livia sort of expects that (she's an AWESOME SITH PURE BLOOD, of course losers are going to suck up to her!), and someone being all WOO EMPIRE doesn't really bother me (I love Talos as hard as I can, and he loves the Empire, after all). He's just sort of there. Soooo ... so far, I find that people having strong feelings for him (he seems pretty divisive on the SWTOR forums, much like Corso, in that people either really love him or really hate him) is kinda surprising. I ... I think I started the romance? Possibly? I honestly can't tell. Which ... well, we'll see, I guess. For SCIENCE. He can't be worse than Corso. It is impossible. But I can't say I especially go for dudes who are that submissive, so I am pretty sure it's not going to do much for me. :P Jaessa stuff, I guess:

FINISHED
THE END
EDIT: Also, I finally remembered to look, I am using Corso #5. And Risha #6. And Bowdaar #3, for silly puffy wookiee vest action.

Not reading Sjofn's tale of Corso yet, as my FemSmuggler is only 1/3rd into Belsavius (and only 5k with Corso). The storylines have really impressed me. In order of favoriteness thus far... - Agent (lightside) - Smuggler (lightside) - Inquisitor (darkside) - Trooper (?) - Bounty Hunter (neutral) - Jedi Knight (lightside) Need to play: - Agent (darkside) - Trooper (darkside) - Warrior (TBD) - Consular (darkside)

Agent (light side!) is probably my favorite thus far too. I also really, really like the SI one (also light side... ish) that I keep putting off finishing for no good reason. BH is the only one left I've done basically nothing of, no idea when I'll actually get around to it. I like being Republic better than Empire, even though I like the IA and SI stories better than anything on the Republic side, because the planet quest dark side/light side is usually less ... I don't know. Doofy? Empire side it's too often dark side = twirl mustache versus light side = twirl mustache less vigorously for my tastes, while Republic feels more often pragmatic (DS) versus idealist (LS). Does that make sense?

Makes sense to me.
I find I just start to roll my eyes whenever I have to deal with large amounts of Jedi Bullshit, Sith Stupidity or General Empire vindictiveness. The only redeeming part about the Empire for me, is it's at least HONEST with itself... but I am constantly wishing I could say, skip everything BUT my Agents class story. I have just run out of fucks to give with the Empire shared story.

I mean, there is some "kick puppy y/n" for the Republic too, of course, but generally the LS choice is "hug puppy" instead of "give puppy a light tap with your toe."

That was my experience too [republic trooper/consular, imperial agent]. Republic LS/DS choices are more like paragon/renegade (with some 'doing this bad thing for The Greater Good' sprinkled in), while imperial LS/DS choices are about murdering people quickly vs. torturing them to death.

Sith Warrior story had some of the better dialogue one-liners sprinkled throughout, but the plot was somewhat bland I thought. I played light-side, which made Vette like me.

Vette kinda likes my SW, but she balks whenever Threnody talks about herself like she's the shit. Which she obviously is, so I don't know what Vette's getting so upset about.

Ha, I have the same relationship with Vette. She mostly likes Livia, but she doesn't seem to appreciate when Livia lets everyone know how awesome she is. But Livia is awesome, so suck it up, Vette.
Livia also has a "give them one chance to surrender/leave/rethink the error of their ways" policy. If they don't take the one chance, Livia kills them. So far she's only had one NPC realize they should probably take that chance and run with it. Why don't they learn? Whyyyyyy?

So I made a man smuggler and my GOODNESS is it way more fun than being a lady smuggler, and it is entirely because I don't have Corso interested in getting into my pants. I still hate him (he gives me +15s for flirting with women until I sleep with them, then I get a minus, I assume because I am treating them like a whooooooore because LADIES don't want to have SEX just for FUN. And my dude smuggler NEVER EVER pretends it's more than just for fun to get these ladies into bed!) but at least I won't have a romance with him. I did realize at one point that when I am playing this dude smuggler, I am essentially playing Doc. And I love Doc. So that probably ups the Man Smuggler score too. AND I get to flirt with ~Risha~. Did I mention I love Risha? I love Risha.

Like I said earlier, I find Quinn just way too bland to hate. Same reason I don't hate Andronikos. He's just way too boring for me to care about one way or the other.
But we've only just finished Tatooine, so maybe he ramps up to something on Alderaan or something. But right now? Zzzzzz. I almost hope he becomes hateful (but not like ... Corso-level hateful) just for something interesting to exist for my poor sith warrior.

Zombie Quinn is tolerable. I'd still like to burn him though. Or put a saber through his head.

I just wrapped her story with a female smuggler - she's a card. And I was wondering how her story would change if there was the male romance element involved too...

I'm enjoying playing a Male Smuggler but Corso getting mad when I act like a smuggler when he worked for you know, a smuggler for years kinda chaps my ass.

I'm not sure if there's an Official Term for that specific type of sexist fuckwit (the closest I can think of is the Nice Guy, but that's not precisely what Corso is), but in my heart they will be called "Corsos" from now on.
