Can I please have neutral relics?!?!

You must not have played Mass Effect and it's sequel.

This could mean you could be Gray Tier 3, Light Tier 2 (and access to those only items until you balance yourself). And if you popped into Light Tier 3, you are only Gray Tier 2 now.

I know that kind of pigeon holes people into three extremes, with no viable choices between Total Light/Gray/Dark... so it's a tricky thing to compromise on.[/COLOR]

The people that argue that people arent making an alignment choice and dont deserve to be rewarded sicken me with the stupidity.

These players are getting the same choices YOU are getting in quests and they have a 50 / 50 chance of making the SAME choice as YOU.

The only difference is the player that consistantly chooses the same colour ends up getting a reward while the person that dosent is punished.

Result: You can either be a blue or red player.
Any inbetween and you are punishing yourself out of being able to use relics and alignment specific gear.

This does NOT just affect people that are neutral.
This affects people that HAVE chosen an alignment but they are making INTELLIGENT choices rather than simply choosing the option that has the right colour.

Diplomacy is not an acceptable solution and infact highlights the fundamental flaw of the system. BW have setup a game which offers railroaded morality choices which are more than often stuck into an A / B situation.

Morality does not work like this in practice and can extend into far bigger acts.

This is the whole reason the saying "Ends justify the means" exist. The morality implication is your willing to use extreme measures inorder to reach your endgoal.

That works for a Sith saving people inorder to use them later or a Jedi that willingly works with a villain to save lives.

The major problem with TOR and ALL BW games is their choices require you to be psychic because your on a railroaded trip and you have to guess wether or not BW will actually play out the dynamic of letting someone save someone only to screw them over later.

Sith Inquisitors should be livid with this system because this class gets shafted with choices being either homocidal maniac or Jesus incarnate.

Guess what: Sometimes being Jesus incarnate lets you get away with horrific acts.
History proves this and the very character this class is modeled after ACTUALLY DID DO THIS.

Pleeeeeeease! I don't want to be forced to play dark or light to get gear. There should be optional gear awarded for total light+dark side points. The alignment rewards should have the same stats, but cosmetically reflect their alignment.

I'm sure you are working on it Bioware, but I will hit level 50 before you finish

Well its not that hard to go into the files, and remove the Dark or Light requirement on these relics BW.

Get the intern on that and they'll have it done by noon.

I am punished by not being able to use darkside 3 gear because i had the audacity to make complex choices.
