I've only completed the Sith Inquisitor plotline so far.

For all us "Star Wars" fans... by Silenthunder on 2016-05-19 22:52:00 UTC Reply

I found an avatar creator, "Star Wars" style, made by the same person who made the rinmaru avatar game/creator thingie! And it's awesome!

Why so few species to choose from, you ask? Well, the species you can select are the ones you can play as in the popular MMO "Star Wars: The Old Republic," so I have a strong feeling that the game was created with that MMO in mind.

Gettin' on this here bandwagon. by Neshomeh on 2016-05-23 20:45:00 UTC Reply

Have Derik, Ilraen, and Nume, SW-ified. No idea if the costumes and locations are thematically appropriate or not; apologies if I've done anything too bizarre in my ignorance.

I like the facial scar options. Could be more extensive, but still, this is nice.

Because of course he would be a Jedi, and of course he'd have a blue lightsaber.

... Stupid sexy Nume.

Haven't done the ladies yet, but maybe I will later.

Looking good! by Iximaz on 2016-05-23 21:23:00 UTC Reply

I'm on mobile right now so I can't check, but I think there were glasses options as well. Unless you deliberately made Nume without them and in that case, need mind. :P They all look pretty good.

...And now I want to see Ilraen learning how to use a lightsaber because that sounds adorable.

Thanks! There were glasses, but they didn't look right. (nm) by Neshomeh on 2016-05-23 21:37:00 UTC Reply

Also! Re: scars by Iximaz on 2016-05-24 00:02:00 UTC Reply

It is possible to get multiple face and body scars; it just requires a bit of mucking around in some sort of editing program and several different screenshots. Though depending on the extent of the scarring, it might take a while to do.

And this is why Agent Ix will never be caught dead in a bathing suit.

It's really weird by Storme Hawk on 2016-05-20 18:19:00 UTC Reply

I'd love to use this, but I can't use it. When I click on the link I get sent to the page but the actual game(?)/avatar creator thing doesn't load up at all. Really annoying considering I was planning on making one half of my next pair of Agents come from the Star Wars universe (and from the time of the Old Republic)

You could try... by Iximaz on 2016-05-21 07:38:00 UTC Reply

The Rinmaru link.

Thanks! by Storme Hawk on 2016-05-21 15:17:00 UTC Reply

Yeah that works. I think I've worked out why the other link wasn't working for me, it seems that the website makes an advert play automatically before you can access the avatar creator and so my adblock was blocking both the ad and the creator from loading (and for some reason wouldn't let me unblock it), so I had to resort to Internet Explorer to try it... *shudder*

Thanks once again

It was definitely created with the MMO in mind. by TheShyIon on 2016-05-20 05:08:00 UTC Reply

One of the available secondary characters on the doll maker is Khem Val, a Sith Inquisitor companion from SWTOR. Which is such an awesome game. I started playing a couple months ago and it's so very good.

A+ for including the morose monster, doll-game.

I could only play it F2P, and I don't want to. by Silenthunder on 2016-05-20 23:00:00 UTC Reply

From what I've read from those who have gone that route, it's not worth the cost and effort if you don't have an infinite amount of patience. Which I don't. :( And I don't have enough money for a subscription either. *sobs*

But I have watched enough of the walkthroughs to know that the BH and IA storylines are my favorite regarding the Empire Side, and Smuggler and JC are my favorite storylines regarding the Republican Side.

Seriously, the storylines and voice-acting are fantastic.

I've only completed the Sith Inquisitor plotline so far. by TheShyIon on 2016-05-21 04:19:00 UTC Reply

(And then sent my Sith Inquisitor through the expansions, right up to the current last chapter of Knights of the Fallen Empire.)

I loved that plotline so much. So very very much. And they actually have some separate dialogue and a different title if you end with a *neutral* alignment. Which is so rare in games, and I just... *squeeing noises*

And the companions are so great! Especially Khem and Ashara. And Talos. (Talos is so *adorable.*)

...aaaaand I started randomly gushing again. *sigh*

I'm just going to post this before I go into "explain all my characters" mode.
The real question is? by Storme Hawk on 2016-05-21 01:08:00 UTC Reply

Do you have the ability to spend roughly £5 on it? It's not as awesome as being a subscriber for the game, but I've found being Preferred Status really makes the game playable and mitigates the majority of the issues F2P people have. You also get 5 or 6 character slots (up from the F2P 2).

In terms of storylines, on the Empire's side, I've got to admit that SI is my favourite (and also the first one I completed), BH is good for the first two acts but Act 3 isn't as good IMO. IA I'm stuck with the 'Darth Zhorrid Arrives' bug so I can't get past the prologue, and the SW storyline is the one I'm currently working on. For the Republic, I've only actually completed JK, but I've got to admit playing as the Smuggler is really fun. I have started a playthrough with the Trooper but the play style is too similar to the BH so I kinda gave up on it and haven't picked it up since. As for JC I've literally just finished Tython with mine today, but whilst the play style is interesting the story hasn't grabbed me yet.

How could I get Preferred Status? by Silenthunder on 2016-05-21 15:13:00 UTC Reply

I've been searching the Web and can't find a guide on how.

Basically you just buy some Cartel Coins by Storme Hawk on 2016-05-21 15:38:00 UTC Reply

There's a certain amount of money you have to put into the game (I think it's around $5 or more, but I got it when I got 2400 Cartel Coins (so that was just under $20)), and that's it, next time you log in you've got the Preferred Status. If you want to get a race besides Human, Cyborg or Zabrak they cost 600 Cartel Coins, but I haven't worked out how you get to the Market outside of the game so it looks like you have to create a character, get them to level 10 (I think it's level 10 you need to access the market), buy the race in the Cartel Market and then start a story off with them.

Should be all linked in above.
Just a note, I'm in the last few weeks of my Undergraduate Degree so I don't have loads of free time at the moment, and due to the all-nighters I'm having to pull off I may be active at some weird times.

Further thoughts on SI and the rest. by Silenthunder on 2016-05-21 14:53:00 UTC Reply

IA HAS THE BEST STORYLINE EVER. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the plot twists, and the irony, and AAAAH IT WAS SO GOOD!

JC... Yeah, that one is slow to start, but once you get to Act 2, the story becomes really interesting. I love Qyzen Fess, he's a very interesting companion. JK is basically a typical Star Wars story, but it's not bad.

SI is my least favorite, and here's why: The trailers for the Inquisitor suggests that your storyline is going to have you be like Sideous. And you're not. You become a holocron-tracking ghostbuster. And you have to act like an idiot who doesn't guess what Zash is up to when it's painstakingly clear that her intentions regarding you are bad. EPIC FAIL. The only thing I liked is that you start as a slave and have to work to greatness, which is refreshing given how the other Force storylines treat you as a talented student straightaway. And you have a ghostly ancestor visiting you 24/7. That's cool.

SW? Hello awesomeness. You get to confront your Opposite Reflection in the desert (an awesome little addition that I will love forever), become a powerhouse, become the Wrath (a position that Lord Scourge from the JK line also had, actually) get to meet the Emperor's Hand, and the Emperor himself (through the Voice)! And so on.

BH is fun - Mandalorian all the way, baby! Smuggler is hilarious - and I like that you get the option to become something of a privateer for the Republic.

Honestly, I don't understand why people hate the Trooper class so much. They say, "It's so boooring!" to which I reply, "Uh, hey guys, you are playing a soldier. Thus you take orders and don't rebel against the authorities unless you seriously have a death wish." Is anyone else with me on this? Also, come on, Jennifer Hale voices the Female Trooper!

And I got all that from just watching playthroughs of the storylines.

Okay, this is pretty cool. by Iximaz on 2016-05-19 23:57:00 UTC Reply

I might have to make the Aviator and Zeb as aliens (maybe a Twi'lek and a Togruta? I always liked their heads...) but in the meantime, have them as humans. :)

My only complaint is that the Twi'lek seem to be the only ones that can wear goggles on their forehead. Oh well. :)

Beware the Awesome Duo! They look great! (nm) by Silenthunder on 2016-05-20 00:46:00 UTC Reply

Thanks :P by Iximaz on 2016-05-20 02:03:00 UTC Reply

Did Ix and Lottie, as well as Twi'lek!Aviator and Togruta!Zeb.

I like that there's an option to make the characters look tired. :D

"Who cares if my stomach is exposed? Anything short of a lightsaber will just bounce off it."

Of course her outfit is exactly the same. She's pretty typical like that.

I just know Zeb is going "Oooh! I have abs!"
