The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

There's plenty of all three in Star Wars The Old Republic . The Good I've played a Bounty Hunter before, but never previously went further than Dromund Kaas. This time around I've enjoyed the class a lot more while following the three rules I set for this character. 1. Always follow through on a job. 2. If the target is wanted dead or alive, dead is better. 3. If possible, kill the client as well. This has led me to take some really mean spirited options that I've passed up on in the past and I've lost count of the number of times a conversation scene has ended with a blaster shot. It's not dissimilar to my experience on the Sith Warrior, except where she chews the scenery and goes all in on being Evil with a capital E, the Bounty Hunter is much more businesslike and her dry, understated ruthlessness just makes the mayhem more entertaining. The overall story arc is something of an excuse plot, but it has a lot of good moments along the way. As is usually the ca

Are we the baddies?

Sometimes I get the feeling that Mako hasn't read the bounty hunter job description. Most of the class story for the Bounty Hunter on Nar Shaddaa isn't particularly memorable. It suffers a bit from opening with much the same action as the first stage of the planetary story, so between shooting dudes and breaking things for the Imps and shooting dudes and breaking things for myself it all got a bit blurry. The subplot about my rival was potentially interesting but was dealt with in one quick scene. The story does have a satisfying conclusion though, and goes some way to answer a question that's been bugging me since Dromund Kaas - why is my companion so whiny? Several of the initial companions in SWTOR lean very heavily to either the light side or the dark, and this can make things awkward if your character leans the other way. Vette is probably the most egregious example of this, and her behaviour is wildly inconsistent from scene to scene depending on whether the scene is

The Long Run

Temple of Elemental Evil is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way through Stormreach to the potion vendor, but that's just peanuts compared to Temple of Elemental Evil. I've said before that Dungeons & Dragons Online is a game that I mostly play in relatively short sessions, due to it being comprised mainly of instanced dungeons that last anything from 20 minutes up to an hour or so. At times I will run several of these in a row, but not always - A single dungeon often provides enough adventure for one day, and so the experience is different from more open world MMOs where natural break points are less frequent, coming mainly when I'm done with a quest hub or even an entire zone. This is one reason why my DDO runs tend to stretch over more days than those of most other MMOs. Temple of Elemental Evil is different. Released in 2015, this is one of several times when the
