Hell if anything having a Stronghold will go *against* RP: "my Sith lord lives in the same house as my republic trooper and they have displayed trophies from achievements my scoundrel earned. Here you can see the one I got from freeing Revan on my JK, here's the one I got from killing him on my SW..."

Anyone else thinks this is kinda of a slap to the RP community? "Oh you guys want players housing? Sure, but we'll make sure it useless to you guys in particular huehuehuehue"

I was really looking forward to make customized living quarters to all of my characters, I was already planning to go do OPs and whatever else drops achievement trophies to furnish each's individual house, now? Well it's retroactive so no need to do anything ,a lot of people would have done extra OPs/FPs on alts to furnish their homes it would have really helped with queue and what not.
Why not role play as character and alter ego?

It maybe that we can only start out with one stronghold (house) but then later buy multiple houses.

You could then make each house themed for a specific character or faction.

It would be against their best interest (money) to limit players to only one house.

I am happy they are legacy wide, but will be happier if I can unlock multiple strongholds.

Since Revan didn't die, your fears are unfounded.

Maybe I misunderstood. But I never really saw strongholds as an RP expansion. I got the impression that a lot of people wanted player housing, and asked for it repeatedly in the forums. I didn't think it was just RPers. So I see the expansion as meant for everyone.

Also, although I was expecting a house per character, I am going to reserve judgement until the expansion hits. I mean, I have 13 characters on one server alone- I might prefer legacy versus character as it would be a lot of houses to have to deal with.

To me this actually aids roleplaying. Couldnt possibly care any less about the lame trophies, those arent IC to roleplayers anyways. RPers don't tend to be the person of the class stories anyways.

My noble Sith family will be quite glad to have a shared holding, their seat of power. It will be on Dromund Kaas so I presume republic characters can't enter it. If it can that would be even better since they have a lost daughter rep side. Would be nice if I can roleplay her there too, along with other people.

The best thing Bioware has done is make them legacy wide, to be honest. you can choose who you use it for.
It would have been beyond useless if it could only be used by one of my characters. Most are a family, so they should all have acces to that same house.

You won't be able to buy a house on the other factions Capital planet, so if you only have all Republic or all Sith characters then yes you can buy 3 strongholds, but if you have at least 1 character in both factions then it's 4.

I just skimmed this thread, so I don't know if someone said this already, bit is it not possible that the strongholds just unlock legacy-wide and every character can decorate the stronhold however they like?

That's how I'm guessing it will work anyway.

(in other words, if you buy the Tattooine stronghold, every character on that legacy gets that stronghold. But they all get to decorate it individually. So when your trooper goes to the stronghold it will look vastly different from when your bounty hunter goes there)

They can't make everyone happy. They can't make it both per character and legacy wide. I myself only RP in my head, but for the way I think of it this makes a lot more sense. My characters lives are all intertwined such that them living together makes perfect sense. It would be weirder if they all lived alone to me.

It is not only the RP group that has been vocal on this subject, this is a feature that all modern games should have.

I really like that the house is legacybound, that way I can create one nice big home for all my characters.

If you can not stand that your trooper lives with your bounty hunter, buy separate houses and do not enter them with the character you think does not belong there.

Roleplaying is all about adapting to the environment, this has been done since the games were purely letters and words. I am sure you find a way to create your RP experience
