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...

Four faces of villainy

It feels like the pace of levelling has slowed down since I hit 20. I have some recollection of that being the case when the game was live as well, and it definitely slows further at 40. That's not a bad thing – running at +0/x2 since level 5 has seen me through the first three zones of redside fairly fast. So much so that I've barely written about them up until now, and they're worth writing about. Mercy Island Mercy Island was given a revamp toward the end of the game on live, with new contacts added and the flow of the zone significantly changed. I have to admit I do miss the old Mercy Island – the new story arcs are good, but I liked it more when new villains started in Fort Darwin in the north, and only later came down to Mercy itself in the south. To go from the anarchic no man's land around Darwin to the more urban environment of Mercy felt like ascending – it's no coincidence that the first exploration title you acquire upon entering ...

The time that is given us

Since starting this 24 hour run of LOTRO I've made a couple of changes to the way I approach my MMO gaming, in an attempt to get back on track after months of doing not very much not very often. I'm now aiming for 2 hours a day, with an update here every two days. If I play more than 2 hours in a single day then I'll write an update after every cumulative 4 hours and put it by until it's due. If I'm a couple of posts ahead then I'm less likely to fall off schedule and get discouraged.* *But I'm also wary of getting too far ahead. A couple of days of no MMO could all too easily turn into the kind of extended lull I'm trying to avoid. So I'm writing this on the 9 th , but it won't go up until the 12 th . It provides an impression of consistency at least. This is far from the first time I've tried to impose a little order on my MMOing. I've commented on aspects of why I do this before – to make it less likely that I'...
