I'm also not entirely convinced Corso wouldn't whip around and treat a woman like shit once they prove once and for all they're not a "lady." I mean, obviously he wouldn't because who the fuck would write that and actually put it in the game, but he definitely gives off a vibe of "nice pedestal you got there, be a shame if something were to happen to it" in some of his lines reacting to you shutting him down. Like the whole "you'll never find anyone who loves you like I do" scene was hugely creepy and vaguely threatening, and I can't decide if the writer realized it (it's the same woman who wrote DA2's Anders, who also takes rejection REALLY BADLY).

Corso seems like he'd never treat a woman like shit. He'd just snap and murder her while loudly lamenting how she made him do it by disappointing him.

Also, I meant to reply to this: Trooper Chapter 3, post Belsavis interlude, major light/dark decision.
Oh. My. Gods. I neither saw that coming nor knew how to handle it. I feel emotionally manipulated. Well played Bioware, well played.
I was so glad something like that happened because holy shit was I starting to get tired of the trooper storyline by then. Belsavis in particular is hugely boring.

You would be surprised at how many darkside options the other trooper companions happily sign off on.

I find Rachel Maddow seriously hot.

Yeah, often light side appears to be 'whichever option results in greatest number of survivors no matter their affiliation'. Some of the trooper companions rate personal/team loyalty a lot higher - particularly that cop from Psych.

Yeah 4X is basically "is this good for the republic yes/no" and awards his rep accordingly. The rest of them are varying degrees of that (Yuun is probably the most light-side idealist of them, then Dorne, then Aric). Vik's thing is more "whatever, Republic."

That's the thing in general with Trooper Light/Dark choices, MOST of them aren't simple "kick puppy off cliff for the giggles", there usually a debate of doing the 'Right' thing vs. doing the 'Smart' thing.

Another day, another finished character for Sjofn! This time it is Jovian, the sith inquisitor. I will spare you all the giant run down that I gave the IA, because that was way too damn wordy for something I don't think anyone actually reads. Jovian's main motivation was "fuck the Empire," which resulted in him being mainly light side, although he certainly picked his fair share of dark side shit (but one of his tradeskills was diplomacy, so he's Light V anyway). I really, really enjoyed the story though, although if you prefer your class storyline to have anything at all to do with the game's overall plot, the sith inquisitor is not for you. The sith inquisitor is too busy dealing with Sith Bullshit to worry about the Republic. I WILL do a companion run down:

I read them!
Mostly agree with your rankings, but Khem is down there with Andronikos for me. Maybe I should get his affection up to see that story, but you make me think I'll actually hate where it ends up.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I read them too. And I liked that one.
I've got to stop playing this damn zombie game and get back into TOR.

You won't. EDIT: Also maybe I'll do a chapter run down later then, since I have been REASSURED I am LOVED.

Warning: I am pretty sure I have the first two chunks safely squared away time-line-wise (I even have some of chapter one actually in the chapter two section to make ABSOLUTE CERTAIN), but chapters two and three kind of blur together, as they have the same issue the consular has, in that it feels less like OKAY CHAPTER THREE NOW and more like OKAY ON TO CHAPTER 2-B. I may be fucking some of it up, especially since, like Joshua before him, Jovian had a two month break between landing on Belsavis and actually doing Belsavis. Then I took yet another break before digging into Voss. So um. Sorry if I ruin anything. Prologue: Chapter One: Chapter Two:Chapter Three: And in case you're wondering, this is how Khem's thing shook out, don't read unless you finished chapter 1 completely, although it's not possible to actually finish before you finish the class story completely: God, that was even longer than the IA one, I think.

Must get back to playing my Inquisitor. What's killing me is the gameplay - I just don't think I like lightsabers much.

Second the love for Talos, he had that chipper British explorer vibe going. I really disliked Ashara's recruitment, as nothing that happened really seemed to prevent her from going back to the order even though they set her up as as prideful hothead. As a darkside sorc, Khem was fun, cheering on all my be mean to everyone choices. Andronikus was meh and Xalek just comes so late there wasn't much time to do anything with him. There's only like two dailies that even give him affection and I was eager to move on to another character and they only now got around to getting +shield to work on the light armor "tank".

With Ashara, her recruitment definitely could've been done better, but I think deep down she just didn't want to go back. She's definitely trying to have her cake and eat it too.

So hey! Remember how I leveled a jedi consular first? And I had a companion named Qyzen I didn't get along with very well, because he hates orphans? I finally decided to finish off his story, five months later.

Your joy of roleplaying your characters gives me a Gene-Wilder-esque Wonka-grin. But not as creepy. Just happily bemused.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

Thanks! It makes it more fun to play, and then later more fun to write about. Why I feel compelled to write about it is anyone's guess, but I'm glad people like to read it!

The SI storyline is just crammed with fun details. A favorite of mine that Sjofn didn't mention is that you get your own
And finishing the Khem storyline makes for a really good epilogue to the main plot.

Finished Trooper off last night - probably overall the least impressive of the stories I've done. It is very straightforward and predictable, just a lot of hoo-rah let's go on a mission stuff for the most part.

The best thing about the trooper story is Mr. Roboto and his various escapades. What's definitely NOT awesome is having to lug Elara around everywhere (if you're a vanguard).

I was a healing commando, so I mostly used 4X and Vik. And yeah 4X's conversations are indeed great.

Working on my trooper as well, 4X is a trip. If I could get him saying "filthy Imps," he'd replace Elara in a heartbeat.

Finished my agent's story the other night. Female agent, mostly took light choices since my previous chars went dark. Tried to play her like Bond. Decent enough person for the profession, but I'll kill you if I have to, and overcoming problems with 1. sex, 2. talk, 3. violence
spoilers
I'm hoping to finally do a republic char before my sub runs out. Started a trooper, but it's femshep's voice. I'm still disappointed in you ME3, why you gotta be in my star wars?
