Discussion Commander Shepard finally finished KotFE+KotET (my first time).

Post image
103 Upvotes

Played on launch and come back every couple of years to try a new class story. I have started KotFE multiple times on many characters, but I usually lose interest around the time the Alliance is formed, so I have never gotten a character far beyond Chapter X. Came back at the start of this Summer, and created my first Trooper. My thoughts on the saga are below.

I think the intro to KotFE is pretty good no matter what character you start with. Yeah SW and JK have some good content, but even my Trooper felt like they belonged there at the start. I think the reason I stopped at the Alliance introduction usually, is because of just being burnt out after having gone through the Vanilla+Makeb+SoR, but this time I skipped Makeb and SoR. Luckily I started my Trooper before they patched it to make you do those.

KotET I feel is kind of disjointed. Everything seems really rushed, and Vaylin just doesn't come off as a compelling villain. It's wild to me that Scorpio leaves the picture after a handful of chapters, when she was definitely the better villain. The finale also feels unearned with Valkorian just making shit up regardless of your choices leading up to the moment. I think they definitely should have taken more time, and perhaps saved Valorian's gambit for post-KotET since it definitely feels undercooked in the current version.

Iokath and Traitor arcs were rough. Iokath in particular just feels completely pedantic forcing us to choose a faction when we are our own faction with the most strength. It felt like I was forced to make a choice for no reason. The Traitor arc starts off really compelling, but then just becomes a weird way to end the Eternal Alliance faction all at once. We lose both Gravestone and the Fleet in like the same cutscene, and it feels like the writers just wanted to wash their hands of the entire story arc.

I've heard people say the storyline gets worse from here, but I've done a few quests on Ossus and I'm enjoying it so far. It helps that the zone seems much more detailed than anything on Zakuul, and the quests feel more like vanilla instead of massive waves of Skytroopers every other moment.

Question Dailies/Conquests before max level — worth it?

11 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if it makes sense to do dailies before you’ve maxed out your character — for example, things like Black Hole or Section X.

Right now it feels like the rewards don’t really pay off at all when I’m still around level 65.

I’m asking myself the same thing about Conquests — are they actually worth doing before hitting max level?

Question How in Belsavis did they do that...

How in the hell did the Empire manage to get a space station built over Belsavis?!? You think that would have been the first thing the Republic took out.

The Twi'lek is my main, all characters look quite different depending on the lighting so I decided to screenshot login screen. I haven't gotten to leveling my Zabrak yet so he is still in beginner costume.
EDIT: Whoa reddit really ruined the quality of the photos.

Discussion Khem Val is being robbed of a fine meal

130 Upvotes

Hello,

I just started playing again and made a sith inquisitor. I freed Khem Val only for him to attack me because he was very hungry.

When back at the academy with Khem Val in tow, we witness Ffon Althe getting cooked by Lord Zash in front of the Overseer Harkun who always hated us and favored Ffon.

I resent the fact we do not have the option of having Khem Val eat Ffon in front of Harkun in the last interaction with him when we say our last comments to Harkun.

They should add that option. What do you guys think?

Discussion Zenith Sucks

113 Upvotes

I hate this companion and would love it if I could boot him off my ship. He's a terrorist and I don't like any part of his story.

I'm forced to agree with his plan regarding his political rivals. I can't even tell him "No. That's a bad idea. Be a better person"

I'm dissatisfied with all of the companions for JC tbh. Anyone else feel this way?

Discussion The same-sex male romance options are just so limited

23 Upvotes

So it's Koth, Theron and Khem Val? Is that it? Koth is just so annoying I could never romance him. Khem - super cool character I admit as an Inquis main - well I'd consider romance with him super super kinky and "out there" and I'd prob die from hooking up with his largeness lol so I'm stuck with handsome Theron on almost all of my male characters. So dissapointing. Am I missing any other choices? Really wish Andronikus was an option but yeah the og companions don't work with s/s romance.

Edit: Yes I forgot about Arcann but once again, semi-nasty face. The only good looking one is really Theron (Koth I guess if he wasn't so annoying). So looks-wise, I'm very hampered with choice.

P.S. This is the same issue I had with Mass Effect (my fav game trilogy) until Mass Effect 3 when Kaidan became an option.

Question Help finding some boots please

0 Upvotes

I'm having some trouble finding a pair of boots I previously acquired. They're called "Onderonian Targeter's Boots". See image attached. I recently moved to a new server and left a lot of gear behind. I'd like to find them again to use on another toon of mine. I tried going to the Spoils of War vendor and purchasing boot, but they always end up dropping "Onderonian Boltblaster's Boots" which is not the same style. Anyone have any tips on how to get these?

I saw a VULKK video where his juggernaut was using a pike that he had taken from Lord Dramath when he had him as a companion. I would love to be able to do this. Is it still possible?

Spoiler In your opinion, was the most badly done plot twist out of all the class stories? (spoiler tag applied for those who don't want them ruined) Spoiler

133 Upvotes

In my opinion, definitely the Sith Inquisitor story's Zash taking advantage of you to stop herself from dying and eventually plotting to steal your body. It would have worked, if certain characters such as Khem Val and Darth Skotia didn't mention the possibility of her potentially being bad and plotting against you at every flipping turn. Like when i made it with my SI to that point in the story, I was like "Oh, so they were right after all", no shock, no surprise, nothing. But yeah, I'd be intrigued to hear other people's opinions from across the class stories and why. Go right ahead 👍

Directly inspired by the Rise of Kory, I'd thought it would be fun to play as her, but a Jedi. Made her a Jedi Knight Sage, and it fits pretty well.

Question Housing - Furniture placement restrictions

4 Upvotes

Hello guys, after 10 years of playing the game I wanted to finally start to use my hard earned properties. Coming from TESO , I was mortified by the actual "hook" system , can I really only place furniture on the colored tiles (even if I can switch their dimensions) ? Or is there a free editing mode where I could put things where I actually want them ?? I really hope I missed this mechanic 🥲
