This. Well articulated.

There were definitely a few times it did not feel good to watch things unfold. As the OP mentioned, I would expect the Barsen'thor to have the ability to open a door. I also kept expecting my character to use the Force to shut down the reactor. Ultimately though, the thing that bothers me the most is that I don't feel like my character has actually earned the "Alliance" that is behind her. Speaking exclusively of events after level 60, she hasn't really done anything truly noteworthy. Every battle she's won was done with help. I very much want to see her being the ****** (not just a "leader" or "commander" which really doesn't do much for me). And actually, in many ways, I feel like my character is a puppet, manipulated into being the leader. I get that the point here is cooperation, but that isn't mutually exclusive with some cutscenes showing how powerful my character really is.

#1 : Other I would very, very much like to see expanded cosmetic customization for our starships. Perhaps even some conveniences - reasons to be on your ship or even to bring others. Once a companion has been romanced and their quest arc completed, they become about as interesting as a bulkhead. I understand it's quite impossible to give a companion a never-ending stream of conversation options since they have to be voiced, but it would be nice if my companion responded to me a bit... friendlier? I don't really know what I'm asking for here.
