  1. Oh thanks! I really like both characters a lot. But really on the effect of your choice? I was reading that your story is effected but that's not much of an effect.
  2. I've seen some old threads on this but my biggest concern is that if I pick a side I'll lose either Lana or Theron, both of whom I like very much. If I choose Republic will I lose Lana? And how will the story be effected from here on out? I have a BH who thinks the Empire are self destructive ***** he just liked their money; in particular he hated the Sith. And he thinks the Republic are a bunch of delusional do-gooders. He doesn't really like either of them. He would not give the weapon to either of them. Yes the Empire helped him and the Republic did not, BUT he knows how corrupt and evil Sith can be up close and personal. And yes the Jedi are sanctimonious, but they're not homicidal maniacs. And although he does love Lana, she doesn't act very sith-like. Don't know why I'm agonizing over this.
  3. Just to add a tiny bit... I played a BH through the story. A very ordinary kinda guy, talented yes since he got into the "Great Hunt", but pretty much a nobody, and definitely not a force user. I felt that he didn't defeat his enemies because he was stronger, but because he was more clever. That came across very strongly to me. The "Bow to the Dragon of Zakuul" at the end of KotET, my character at that point realized that in his head, he could make the rules, and upon realizing this, he manipulated the fight. I realize with an MMO there's only so much they can do with an interactive story. Still, it was pretty darned epic to see my BH turn into a galactic alliance leader. The end when he looked at that throne it was difficult to take the lightside option, but I knew that's what he would do.
  4. Nice! Thank you. It'll be good to find some kind of closure for my BH.
  5. Just finished KotET on my BH and noticed that Mako never returns although Torian and Gault did. I guess it doesn't matter since my BH is interested in Lana (Mako seemed more like a little sister), but was curious if she ever returns. I looked through past threads and didn't find any info on Mako.
  6. Okay, thanks. What a relief. I thought I messed up by not picking that one flirt option. They were down on Natheema trying to track down Vaylinn and it just seemed very inappropriate and unprofessional at that moment to be flirting.
  7. I know I definitely locked in the relationship with Lana and my BH has been flirting and romancing since he met her (I think I chose once not to flirt because I felt it was inappropriate at the time to be flirting). In the cantina scene, I chose the flirt option, I had the cutscene with the dialog pop up that I was going to be romancing this character and I continued. Right before the final fight on Odessen, my BH kissed Lana and told her he loved her but there was never any marriage proposal. Was there suppose to be?
  8. LOL! NICE. I wish I could let more of my inner bad guy out. My BH made more than a few darkside choices, but only those that went along with his philosophy of being a bounty hunter and not a hired killer (he choose to make a distinction). I feel I should make a darkside character but don't know if I can stomach all the dark side choices. I saved Torian too, since it just makes more sense for my BH to help his Mandalorian brother... plus Vette was only at maybe level 5 influence while Torian is 30. No way am I throwing away a high influence character.
  9. This is exactly why my BH chose Torian over Vette. She's adorable. I love her personality, but Torian is a Mandalorian and my BH is as well, not by birth, but by winning The Great Hunt. Torian has fought by his side through so many battles during the story, that it makes sense that my BH is going to save his 'brother'. I didn't like to see Vette die, but it didn't make sense to sacrifice Torian for a cute, sassy talking Twilek.
  10. Oh thanks, I didn't know this. I've been away from the game for about 4 years and wanted to start a character from scratch, relearn the game but also just do the planetary and class quests and not all the side quests so I did the level 70 boost. I'm not a hardcore player, don't really care about fights, I'm just a Star Wars fan and want more of an interactive story. Last night I finished KotET and it was pretty epic. I had to hit escape several times just to replay that last scene. Wow. Just wow. BTW, the Gemini fight is the only one that's ever given me trouble. I had no issue with the Valynn fight (leading her into the green circles) or really any other fight after that.
  11. Finally beat Gemini but just barely. As people suggested I got Senya up to 10 favor and tried it again. Popped stims, heroic skill presence tonic and everything else I could throw in there. Just a second after Gemini died and her green conversation indicator popped up, my character died from her DOTs but the timing couldn't have been better and I had already won the fight. I went on to fight Arcann and it wasn't a problem. Just get the shield and even if you don't have the weapon you made on Odessen you can still beat him. KotET started up and it's pretty epic.
  12. BH... I am on Knight of the Fallen Empire with him. I started him about 8 weeks ago so he's fresh in my mind. I like the story more and more as I look back at how he began. He starts as a normal guy with a decent reputation--enough to get him into the Great Hunt obviously--but he's not a special snowflake. He's not a Sith or a Jedi, or really anyone of note. He's just a guy or a gal if you go that way. Being female, I usually play female characters so I started a female BH but it didn't feel right and going with the male helped my immersion into the story. So to watch this guy grow from a nothing nobody into someone who commands a galactic alliance is pretty intense IMO. I don't think it would be as intense if I played a Sith or Jedi as they commonly become commanders or generals. I do wish more emphasis had been placed on his being "The Republic's most wanted" in the original released stories. There were a few exciting moments around that, but it should have been played up more in the story. As soon as I get past this annoying Gemini Captain fight (which I can't beat no matter what), I'll be looking forward to more of what the story holds for my BH. On the Republic side, I think the Smuggler would be a good choice too, seeing that he/she comes from humble origins. You can make the BH a true anti-hero which makes the story golden for me. Jedi Sentinel - I've only completed the original chapters on her. Rather boring, IMO. Typical good guy story but I stuck with it because I adore Jedi in lore, stories and movies. Some of the darkside choices made sense, yet were still darkside. Even still, with the darkside choices you're too goody two-shoes for me. The reason I prefer my bounty hunter is I like the anti-heroes. Imperial Agent - LOVED this story. Loved loved loved. It felt like a spy novel to me with all the double crossing and spy stuff. I've never been so immersed in a computer story ever. I think I liked this story the best. I have not played him passed the original release unfortunately. Although I think his initial story is better than the BH, I'm not sure how he will play in the new expanses. I will probably complete a female smuggler next.
  13. I stopped the story and went up to the fleet to raise Senya's influence. I have a ton of command crates I haven't opened due to lack of space and they can contain some high level companion gifts, although not always the type Senya likes. I'm so disappointed with this story mission. Up until now, I was mentally giving the dev team high fives for story mode, allowing people who are not hardcore like me to enjoy the story without getting bogged down in difficult, frustrating fights yet allowing those who want more of a challenge to chose a harder setting. Then I run into this fight. I can understand a ramp-up of difficulty, but the Gemini Captain, who is a gold star boss, is many levels of difficulty above any bright starred boss I've fought. (I know those aren't the right terms for the bosses, but I hope you know what I mean). I'm going to turn off Senya's stun and I'm pretty sure I'm on story mode because I haven't deviated from that since I started, but it's worth a check. I think if Senya stopped running off and stuck next to my BH, I could beat this boss.
  14. Just tried it again. I'm doing fine but Senya dies so quickly. If she would just heal me and stop fighting I would win this fight. She is set to heal. Wish she would just DO that.
  15. I have a level 70 BH/Mercenary. His gear/weapons are purple 230s and he has one purple earpiece that is 245. I started playing him about 8 weeks ago from level 1 and so far have breezed through all the fights (I think one fight he died a few times when he was knocked off a platform). Some fights are a challenge, but those that are challenging have been pretty exciting if they have unusual mechanics that require some strategy. This fight is not interesting or fun especially since it impedes progress through the storyline. I decided to stop after my character's fifth death and go back and try again later. I usually don't give up, but the fight isn't even close. If it was close I would keep trying, but the fact that it isn't tells me there's not a lot I can do to make it better. Senya is on heal (I think she's at level 8). I use my interrupts, and the heroic skill, I have stims, extra heals, extra presence tonics, basically everything I can think of to throw at this fight. I get Gemini down to about 1/3 health and then Senya dies. My character can stay up for about another 30 seconds. It's just odd that all the fights have not been a big deal and then suddenly *wham*. Almost like it's a heroic boss that's bugged into storymode. I don't want to give up. I'm really enjoying the story. Should I just find someone to help?
