I should probably do that myself for those same statues but I kinda hate the Makeb stuff. I think I've still got the Legendary rank to do. GOD I HATE MAKEB I haven't finished RotHC on any of my toons because of it |

I enjoy dress up Barbie in this game way too much. It's my fave part of the game now that I've finished the class stories. 99% of the endgame stuff is coop stuff idc about space barbie high five |

GOD I HATE MAKEB I haven't finished RotHC on any of my toons because of it I only do it on my Imperials for Lord Cytharat  but on my Republic characters I've only done it the once, it's just so... tedious and the mob density is so high and ugh. |

I just got myself KOTOR and KOTOR II thanks to the Steam sale. I will look into trying out SWTOR as well. I've been interested in these for quite some time now and I am pretty deep into Star Wars at the moment so they came into my life at just the right time! I have seen plenty of SWTOR from friends that constantly play and they seem to have a lot of fun with it. I can't judge it too harshly for being an MMO without trying it for myself! ...I must admit though...just like Scottphoto the Theron romance played a part in my interest.  |

(rofl) Quick group shot of mine, I've played all class stories but end up deleting a lot after. These are like my core ones now.   Amatus (Main, Consular) - Eleutarius (Jedi Knight) - Taashath (Inquisitor)  Cassius (Sith Warrior) - Thelius (Sith Warrior) All are 70 but Thelius who is my newest and is currently level 40. I know that Thelius's chest piece is craaaazy expensive, I almost got it for my Sith Warrior but it was like 80 mil on Ebon Hawk |

I enjoy SWTOR more than KOTOR... the graphics are ugly and I hate that Revan is canonly a white straight dude LOL Plus you can play SWTOR totally solo if you want to and still enjoy a "traditional" bioware story with companions and romances (even if you do have to pay to gay) |

(Not to mention quests with no map markers, god.) Yeah that's pretty much how I play, solo. I wish more flashpoints had solo modes but oh well, it's not a major loss, I can do some without the droid at least. The companions are one of the best parts of SWTOR, though yeah, it does majorly suck you have to pay for gay, and even then they both disappear forever (Lord Cytharat  ) but at least the expansions added Theron, Lana, and then Koth. It just sucks you have to go through so much to finally get to them. |

Something around that mark. I don't get a huge amount of use for the other pieces but the set was only a little more expensive than the chest so it was worth it just to unlock it for other characters. |

Whoops I posted this in the general Star Wars thread instead of here. Forgive the double post.
So I'm replaying KotORII for probably the fifth time, with the restoration mod included. It's actually running smoother than last time I played, so I wonder if the most recent mod version cleaned up more bugs. I would often get crash to desktop when transitioning areas with a cutscene and that's happened a lot less this time.
I'm also playing with a mod to force all companions to have max influence because it's a PITA to metagame and bring certain companions on specific quests to increase their approval. I really like the companions and how we can interact with them but Obsidian needs to make it less difficult to gain influence/approval. If the Bioware style personal quests, party banter, and general reactivity could combine with Obsidian's deeper conversation trees and nuanced morality and plot, that would be perfect.
Anyway, in honor of Asari Wanker I named my Exile Weablu Danglebox. It sounds like a standard SW name. Having a great overpowered time as a Sentinel turned Jedi Master. I like this more mature look at the SW universe. I'm really sad this didn't get a KotOR3 and instead KofFT and KotET seem to be the plot they had envisioned.

Makeb heroics are awful. The one you can't even do solo, and the other three don't even spawn you right by the area and you have hundreds of mobs to fight through. Ugh, not looking forward to the last leg of this reputation. |

I decided I was bored enough to play through Makeb on my main, he's the only one of my 70's I've not done it on. Picked up two of the Heroics but I know one up them is a real pain so I didn't touch it. I'll see how badly the other two go.  But yeah the last leg of Rep sucks, I usually don't bother to go out of my way but I want those statues from the rep vendor. So far everything has been dying quickly enough that I can put Arcann in tank mode and not worry about our health, may try him as dps and see how that goes. It helps being able to sneak past everything though.  |

It helps being able to sneak past everything though. As a mara, I only have a short stealth mode that doesn't help me too much on Makeb. The mobs are too plentiful. I'm dreading logging on today and doing them. Maybe someone in my guild will take pity on me and help. |

Went through it on my Sentinel, a while back, that stealth really doesn't last as long as you think it does.  I'm making my life even more difficult as I decided to do all the little side quests on Makeb which I've never done before. Usually skip everything but story, but I'm desperate for story stuff - even if it is old, and really weird seeing Saresh. (At least I did it the right way round on my Sentinel, him seeing her alive would freak him out. XD) I skipped Ilum on a few characters, Makeb on most of my Republic ones, and I always skip Oricon because of it stupidly ending in an Op. |

Fuck that. I am already max rep. |

farferelloThis is my Cazran in that new armor you and I share. I kept the original color because it feel it worked well with my Togruta color scheme. Sorry for the derpy facial expressions. Makeb wasn't kind to Cazzie.

Makeb wasn't kind to Cazzie. He looks good, doesn't clip too badly either which is nice. I'm about half through Makeb right now, took the transport to do one of the Heroic missions and as soon as we spawned into the area, Arcann dropped down dead.  I don't even know. I have about 20k left until I max out Reputation with Makeb, so likely another few weeks. Hopefully the Heroics reset daily so I can just grind the two I did tonight as they were pretty easy. I think another one opens up after I finish the storyline so I'll see how that goes. Also in regards to Iokath, it seems we'll hopefully be able to continue the story without having to do the raid. I hope so, I liked that SoR had a raid option and a Daily option that lead to the end rather than the Oricon way of doing it. I haven't even bothered with the Iokath rep, it doesn't have anything I like on either vendor anyway. |

Sometimes they just disappear in Star Fortresses, die upon quick travel, or lag behind so much they don't do anything. Yeah, Makeb heroics are weekly. I did them yesterday and can't do them today, so... That blows. I have about 26k left of rep needed. Ugh. Is this worth it? Manaan, you better raw me after this. |

My sexy Togruta on Makeb! @artemis isn't he pretty? He looks good, that colour crystal works really nicely with him. I've wanted a character to use blue for some time but never seem to end up with one that works with the colour. My lot are just in red/white/yellow.  |

I've never had the random death on quick travel happen before though. Was just so weird to see him keel over like that. But yes, the lagging behind is frustrating. I always make sure to wait for them now, the amount of times I used to have Theron lag behind me, not notice, and then nearly get myself killed because of it is way too high. That sucks, all the other Heroics reset daily now, outside of the starter planet ones. This is gonna take a long, long time them. Oh well, not like my Zakuul stronghold is coming out anytime soon, so I have the time. |
