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...

Ship Shop

I still have 15 levels to go, but obtaining a Tier 5 ship at level 50 feels like a major milestone in Star Trek Online . When you reach level 10 in STO you get to pick a new and better ship, for free. This happens again at level 20, and again at 30 and at 40. Each of these new ships is a significant upgrade from your last, with better stats more slots for weapons, consoles and bridge stations. Then at level 50... you don't get a ship. Now there are multiple ways of getting your hands on a Tier 5 ship - not least of which being that you will get your final free ship at level 61 - but I can't help but think that this is also a way of nudging players toward the cash shop. On the other hand, if you're going to take that option then why not just go straight for a Tier 6? Ever since T6 ships were introduced the T5s have occupied this odd position as the 'almost' endgame ships, and now there are even ways to get a free T6 ship if you're willing to put in the time and a...

Requiem Redux

I feel like they missed a trick when they relaunched this game and didn't call it Requiem: Redux. I won't deny I was dubious about returning to the blog with Requiem . I've wanted to give this game a place in the rotation for a long time, due to it being the only MMO I've spent any length of time in that I hadn't revisited since 2019... but at the same time I remembered Requiem as being a simplistic and nearly plotless grindfest, and I wasn't sure it would hold me for 24 hours of /played time. Nostalgia can only carry a game so far. So I've been pleasantly surprised that not only have I got through my time in Requiem , but I've enjoyed it. The game is a lot like I remembered but it's worked for me despite that, or maybe because of that. More on that in a moment. I simply can't be objective when it comes to this game. Requiem is the first MMO I ever played and that gives it a unique place in my affections that not even City of He...
