The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

Opinions?

You were right, Neph. Nox is indeed a phucking idiot. I almost felt embarrassed with myself when Kallig had to intervene in that cave Thanaton sent Nox to. So dumb.

RPing in what sense?

I just usually decide on a personality for my characters when I roll them then RP their decisions. My Jedi Knight is darksided, but she's still polite and honestly wants to help people, she just really hates the Empire and is ruthless as ****. My Trooper follows orders and is heartless, but is a professional and always does her job to protect the Republic. My Inquisitor is an insane, power-hungry c*nt. Etc.

If you're talking about in chat or anything, er I don't do that. Seems a bit close to larping or whatever.

Exactly that Neph, the second one I mean. I cannae do it. I've done it on Warcraft, but then that was me just running around as a drunken Dwarf. It seems kind of useless in TOR, what with every character being the same as the other, archetype-wise.

When it comes to giving my character a specific personality, I'm all cool for that though, do it all the time.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: COULD A DUDE **** HIS OWN ASS WITH THIS? I THINK THE ANSWER MIGHT BE YES????

GOD BLESS SCIENCE!

Mindblown.

I'm moving to Europe.

RPing in dialogue choices is a bit hit and miss. It's very limited and sometimes what it says is not what you say. Any sarcasm, irony, or intentional baiting is completely up to the script regardless.

I wrote an entire backstory for my guy, because I just liked the concept that much. It was before his forced name change, alas. Link. I think the Darth Nox story was fairly good considering some of the chock we're forced to deal with, but I liked mine better.

As for RPing in chat and stuff, I don't see the point. It's time consuming, unproductive, and ultimately fruitless. A story can be reread and analyzed, enjoyed, etc. Chat RP just seems like a way to waste time. And I already have plenty of time sinks.

eDating just got easier.

I'm wondering what to do right now. I should probably go to the fleet on this Inquisitor and get my advanced class and all that jazz.

Yes. I forgot all about that. For some reason I thought I did it on Dromund Kaas. It's been that longs since I leveled a newbie Imperial character.

Have to say, I'm a little bit disappointed with

Spoiler:
how easily Thanaton overpowers you at the beginning of chapter 2, especially considering you're already powerful at that point. I don't know if it's made me see Thanaton as more impressive or to see Nox as an arrogant *****.

Perhaps a bit of both. Thanaton is an old, established and powerful Sith, and has both the experience and the inclination to stack the deck in his favor. I suspect that lump in his pants is really Kun's amulet.

It probably is.

Still, I really hope that at some point you seriously kick the shit out his ass.

Spoiler:
No, he goes on to win and become the new Emperor, after riding Malgus like a surfboard

I wonder how strong Nox is without the ghosts. I mean, we know the Barsen'thor is pretty damn strong as is, I wonder how they'd stack up.

Barsen'thor v Nox (W/out Ghosts)

I don't think it matters. I see the ghosts as I see any other means to obtain power. Holocrons, rituals, training, etc. to me it's not like it's a separate boost, like Kun's amulet, for example.

I get the impression that Nox is still not at peak either. He's just been introduced to the motherlode of Sith knowledge and has his own established power base, cult, apprentices, etc. The character has a lot of room for growth (as do most TOR mains).

Without the ghosts, Nox may still be lower than Thanaton, because they are so instrumental to his victory. That isn't to say Nox couldn't surpass his reliance on them or become stronger than he is with them on his own. Worst case scenario, other augmentation items exist. Stuff like Tulak Hord's lightsaber are in the hands of Dark Council members; it isn't unreasonable for a Sith amulet to find its way into Nox's hands.

But if it's Kun's I'd wash it first.

Thor would win. Nox is one of the most powerful Sith ever even without the ghosts, but he'd still get buttraped by Thor. She's just that good.

Pre-Ghost Nox is also relatively new to Sithdom, so the markings are pretty low.

Spoiler:
Theres still that bit where he beats up all the ghosts one after each other.

I find it hilarious that

Spoiler:
Zash is trapped in Khem's body. Lololol it cracks me up.

True. The ghosts themselves are mostly powerful individuals, but vanilla Nox is more powerful still. But it's still very difficult to measure up against 'Thor since the latter is, IIRC, unaided and unboosted in comparison.

Having those spirits around must be rough though. Like, if you bang Ashara, are they watching? Coaching even?

"Bad form, bro".
