Decisions have no consequences?

There are no actions possible in real life that render you permanently "evil" or "good". Why should they exist in this game? Redemption and corruption remain possible, no matter what.

Wrong. The only one in that list that was removed was



All the others are still there and I believe they're all viewable on youtube. You didn't read the thread well enough, I guess. I've played an agent to 50 three times.

As they go forth, there has to be a heap of stuff ignored by player actions
Like who you let live or die in class encounters, which could make it all redundant in the end.
Or they just ignore it and bring in new players to the story and forget your past deads.

Early on they spoke about the consequences of story, how a little decision may come back to haunt you.
So far it hasnt

Vette is basically a good person. Why is she fighting hard for a vicious Sith Warrior who butchers everyone and loves it?

I thought some more about this thread in general, and came to the conclusion that I would absolutely hate for RP decisions to have PvE or PvP consequences. PvE and PvP is all about optimization. RP is all about storytelling, character development, and moral choices. We have too much of that "Do I choose what is right, or do I keep my job?" mess in life, to enjoy it in games... I don't want for my raid team to pressure me into talking to my companions this way and not that way so I can optimize my tanking stats!

The more I play this game, the more this becomes apparent to me. Part of the appeal of the game is the decisions you make along the way. You choose to save someone or murder them, do the right thing or the wrong thing. But the more I play the more I realize these decisions really have no long term consequences. You might murder someone in cold blood as they beg for their lives and your companion does not approve. You get -200 affection. No biggie. Give them a couple of gifts and all is forgotten. You might kill hundreds of people. Again, no biggie. I did something with my toon the other day that prompted my companion to basically give me a lecture about how horrible I was. They were right too. But the next mission, everything was fine. My decision had no consequence at all in how they performed in combat or anything else really.

Yes, you can argue that ultimately your decisions push you either LS or DS but let's be honest here, the same gear you can get on one side you can get on the other side as well. It goes by different names, but it's completely comparable gear. There's really no advantages/disadvantages to going one way or the other.

Am I the only one who wants to see some decisions that have permanent, long term impacts? I'm not saying every decision should be that way, but I think some should. Some decisions should permanently turn your toon one way or the other. An extreme act of nobility or a an extreme act of savagery should permanently impact your toon in much more fundamental way than just 100 LS points. I think it would add a lot if there were decisions you could make that would cause your companions to just leave rather than deal with your crap or maybe stick around because they had to, but their combat effectiveness would be diminished because they didn't care.
