SW: The Old Republic Part 4
I imagined it more like EVERY MISSION The person gets is recieved with a ::Sigh:: Ok... I'll do it... I guess *slouches off* And Kriea would be rolling in her grave so fast she starts making Malachor spin (if she's still there) Also, just made a Smuggler on Corellian Run (been mainly on ShadowHand with my other toons) to run with cant if he ever yells. Bryanna is da name. My "Main's" on the server are an inquisitor by the name of Ardath and a Knight by the name of Kithsara

Well, the Operative uses a rifle or a sniper, no pistols (except in cutscenes), and the merc gets either single or double pistols depending on the advanced class you choose. One thing you want to beware of is leveling up as a second *whatever* is probably going to be boring because you'll be doing the EXACT SAME missions as the first time.

Is that seriously what yanks call it? I guess "attempt at introducing universal health care to bring the US healthcare system up to the same standards as other Western nations and provide coverage to the poorest and most vulnerable" is just too darn complex a sentence for US political discourse to cope with. Our political discourse is based on making everything the other party does look like trash, so "Obamacare" is the bastardized name attached so that they can easily make fun of it, and confuse people about it.

The wierd thing is that the Light/Dark options really VARY in whats "light" and what's "dark" according to the devs. Mainly because f the fact it's written by dozens of people who do light/dark options. But Class quest vs story quests are the most jarring (a light option being killing somebody fast as a class quest, while a dark option is to take a tiny bribe... as a Sith.)

I think the idea is that he set them up under either an LLC or another person to avoid fees... An LLC that's headquartered in the Bahamas or Monte Carlo or wherever. Right now my dad is thinking about setting up an LLC under my name to avoid the ridiculous fees of starting an LLC in California, and instead pay the fees in Iowa, this would be similar, but avoid the federal fees and taxes because it wasn't earned by an american in america, it was earned by a Bahama/Jamacian/Cayman Islands corporation.

Honestly, the Sith Warrior is a lot like that too. In the Warrior, you end up getting yelled at by your stereotypical partners (the other sith around) but end up getting a MUCH more... interesting tale out of it (being light or dark actually has an effect on one of your companions). Also, zipping around on a Jedi shadow... (consular advanced class that's tanky and melee) and HOLY CRAP BASTILA MADE A CAMEO!

You're using Obama's slanderous propaganda as your evidence? Romney's tax rate is low because his income is mostly capital gains, which is taxed at 15%. Explain to me please how Romney manages to use Bahamas and Monte Carlo to lower his taxes. Simple, they're tax havens. So he puts his money there, earns interest and a few other goodies on it, but doesn't get taxed by the USA because it's technically not a domestic earning, and is taxed at MUCH lower rates (single digit percentiles) by the country that the money currently is located in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_haven And, for the record, the plan his new vp candidate buddy Ryan is cheering about, Romney's effective tax rate would drop to a single % (or a fraction of a percent, depending on your source). Personally, Romney and the Republicans are just doing the same thing that the Hoover administration did back in the early 30's and are trying to let the economy fix itself. It's just that, for an economy to work, you need the actual currency to be used, rather than sit in some guys bank account. And if you keep giving tax rates to the top percent, but the actual consumer (the lower and middle classes) aren't able to purchase the goods or services that that top percentile offers, why on earth would that top percentile create more jobs for a non-existent demand?

That I can certainly agree with to a certain level. Although the Inquisitor tries to push some of the more "force secrets / mysticism" elements as behind the betrayals and wotnot. But yes, it does feel like the expected themes have been switched between the two. Either way, they still seem to come across as some of the better written - at least in regards to coherency between prologue and three chapters. True that. They're the only two I've gotten to act two on, but the Consular is probably the least impressive segeway between prologue and act 1. Oh Noes! fallen Jedi! *Redeems* Oh Noes! Master is sick! *cured* Oh Noes! Political unrest and missing te-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz *solved and found*

The Inquisitor seems to fall more into the betrayal/treacherous nature of the Sith, and the Apprentice/Master relationship. Although it tends to slide more into the fallout of those events more then the actual elements themselves. With the Sith Warrior, it certainly turns more towards the "grand orchestration" of plans. Darth Baras' whole "super spy network" does feel like something you'd expect from an Inquisitor more, but I can see how a Warrior can turn towards that. More the working precisely and taking out vital support points rather then just thundering around wildly and causing mass destruction. See... that's the thing though, the archtypes are flipped. It should be the Inquisitor that does the surgical and intelligence strikes to wipe out the opponents (both internal and external) with their master teaching them about the ways of the force, while the warrior should be leading the fights with as much brutality and bullheaded-ness as possible. As to the trooper, he may be spec-ops but "sneaking" doesn't exactly work when his armor is built around the clone trooper/storm trooper image and is all shiny and white. Again, it's kind of a thematic thing, but the trooper strikes me as the type that never goes and hacks points to gain entry to a hotel... instead he makes his way to the roof, repells down the wall and smashes through the window guns blazing. Although IMO he does have by FAAAAR the best companion (who you get on Nar Shadda) in Fourex. It's a droid who you get on Nar Shadda Him being hilarious!
