More or less, you got it. Right now the only romancables that actually matter post Makeb are Torian, Vette, Kaliyo, and Aric. You'll have a break up/*** moment if you started romancing Lana, Koth, or Theran when one of those show up in the story.

I personally find gender neutral to be the worse way to create a character. People know what they are attracted to...I find it far better when characters are made with sexual preference and stick to it. Like the male sith pureblood on Makeb is gay (females get no flirt options with him) which I find great even though I never flirt with him. It shows actual thought was given to the character. Characters that go both ways should be as rare as such people are IRL...which is why I find it so strange games seem to have gender neutral romances all over the place. It shows a decided lack of character grounding to me.

The engine cannot handle open world PvP. Going to assume you weren't here for the original Ilum battles...the moment you get over 20 people actively fighting (with companions!) most people experience lag...you get 40-50 in one place all fighting? It becomes unplayable. Outside of open world skirmishes...they actively try to stomp out OWPvP in this game as the engine cannot handle it.

I'm going to assume you never take Iresso with you. He cracks jokes constantly as you aproach areas that make companions speak.

Something that throws your chronology a tad off whack...Technically the BH finishes their class story months...if not a year...before anyone else. Do remember that the class stories take place over years. The JK loses 6 months between act 2 and 3 for example (their companions survive in prison aboard the emperor's space station for 6 months no less is amazing in and of itself).

Easy, if they are lightside on their morality meter they get light jaesa, dark morality gets dark jeasa. Jeasa herself simply mimics whoever is the most powerful person she resonates with anyway, so it holds true here.

The agent using the sidearm makes sense actually. Wet work up close like that? Hand gun is better. The trooper however seems more...inconcievable that they wouldn't use their rifle/cannon as quite frankly they are soldiers not proffessional assassins/spies. They wouldn't care if it got messy (whole point in using a handgun is so it is less messy/quick clean)

Wait...what? I can't decide if that is hilariously awful...or awesome for a heavily cyborg character.

This is a bit of a catch too. A light side ending alliance will not have the extremely foreboding aspects in it's design while the dark side alliance ending would rather prefer more aggressive looking aspects.

SWG was full of dead/empty towns and cities. Player towns in the open world only work if you have entropy...aka if you do not maintain it, it falls apart and others can claim it. Aka, perminance should only exist if you maintain things and NOT with money...by using your craft! Even at it's peak this was a problem in SWG. We don't need a repeat of empty planets filled with random homes. Nor do we need people building homes to cancel out spawns/allow for easy spawn camping.

Fully agree.

Balameb hit the nail on the head with many people needing to understand that your PvE mechanics will NOT work in PvP. Also...give up right now on getting perfect rotations on players. Taunt functions differently, detaunts are only useful if you have the right optional passives (very few disciplines have usefullness built into the detaunts). Locking people down is more important than perfect rotations, and utility skills that MOST DPS/Heals never use are required for PvP.

I think a crate should drop (at your current level) EVERY boss you kill in FPs and OPs. Bosses drop loot, no reason for them not too.

The contract EA has, allows them to use everything Star Wars. They are the ONLY company allowed to make games for the IP right now, Disney isn't even allowed to bypass them to make their own. Not sure when it runs out but I bet Disney changes the deal significantly. They like having an iron grip on things and the forced acceptance of the EA deal has to be making them chomp at the bit.

There is a bit of sadness in this because...males can marry Temple. Well, it is a backdoor marriage but still. It isn't just an "oh I can't because of your cover".
