What are the best dialogue moments in Star Wars: The Old Republic?
By class:Sith Inquisitor: when you start out, Harkun repeatedly disses you for being a slave; if you pick the right replies, you can diss him right back.Sith Warrior: as an LS Juggernaut it was so fun recruiting Jaesa.Bounty Hunter: how you can tell off the Jedi Master who got so bent out of shape over you just doing your job.Imperial Agent: the lecture you can give Arden Koth before killing him.Smuggler: how you can totally destroy Skavek's reputation with the slicer.Trooper: your dialogue with Garza if you told the Senate the truth about Havok squad; she comes across as if were pulling some kind of stunt. Uh, hello, you yourself told me that lying to the Senate was illegal.Jedi Knight: the dialogue with Kira Carsen about getting “off the leash”.Jedi Consular: the first Noetikon
Which is better in “Star Wars: The Old Republic”, the Republic or the Empire? Why?
In line with the very succinct points that Markus Koskelin gives in his answer, the Empire is generally the more interesting faction when it comes to characters, story and themes. One of the facts that became infamous is that there has been a 2:1 ratio of which faction players stick to: Empire or Republic.In keeping with what Koselkin mentions, the Rpublic suffers a very chronic case of the Villains Act, Heroes React trope. Outside of the class-based stories, many of the Republic missions are either a population crisis (often unrest or local gangers causing trouble), the Empire doing evil shady things, or generally repelling an Imperial incursion. When you’re not doing all that, you’re making friends or engaging in humanitarian efforts. But most of what the Republic does is in reaction to a developing situation, rarely do you get to act first as a Republic character.The Empire on the other hand (and as a result of said Republic missions) looks a lot more proactive. While it does have its fair share of “beat back Republic efforts” missions, and a number of missions relating to the Republic’s Strategic Information Service (SIS) show the Republic is also willing to get dirty, it has plenty of missions that involve Imperial agents and Sith lords looking to gain an advantage. Story arcs such as on Balmorra, Nar Shaddaa or Corellia involve solidifying Imperial power, and frequently involve missions both over and under the table. Internally you also have plenty of variety; slave revolts, rogue Sith lords, helping with experiments, old Sith temples etc. there’s almost always something fresh.Perhaps a textbook demonstration of this divide is in one of the early dungeon missions. When leaving for the faction capital, both sides have the option of a shuttle or a longer (and more dangerous) ride on a frigate. All disguised as a mission:For the Republic side, you must repel an attack on your vessel by some notorious Imperial captain, then take the battle to his ship.For the Imperial side you take a detour and are recruited by an admiral for a boarding mission to capture a VIP on a Republic vessel.This difference is quite characteristic of how the two factions feel when it comes to mission arcs outside the class stories. In short playing the Empire makes you feel part of a grand campaign, playing the Republic makes you the galaxy’s most famous janitor.POLL RESULT Why Empire wins more than republic..the answer is..

Is Star Wars: The Old Republic better than EVE Online? What are your thoughts on that?
The problem here is that you're no longer even comparing an apple to an orange. They're both good and bad in ways that are totally dissimilar, there's no way to quantify "better".They're both video games, they both have a space setting-ish, and they both have a kinda big player base. That's where your similarities totally run dry.EVE is an ever-evolving online clusterhump of cutthroat politics, ruthless economic trading, resource aquisition, training and of course, war. It has a steep learning curve, but is a very rewarding experience for the players who band together and dive in with both feet. It's a vast and open game that will drop your jaw, or send your netherbits up into your throat.SWTOR is a cinematic themepark adventure that is fully voiced and scripted. It's like playing a role in a movie, and you get to act out the action and make some fun choices. But it relies on traditional MMO mechanics for the ground combat, and the space combat is more akin to an arcade "shooter-on-rails". It is a canned and packaged experience.I have played both games. I love both games, but for drastically different reasons. I also stopped playing both games for different reasons; EVE got too complicated and my ADD brain got really bored. SWTOR I played to the end, did some raiding, and felt a sense of finality and completion, so I stopped cold turkey one day.So you're just going to have to give them both a try, and see which game entertains you in which way.
What class should I play in Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Your Open Question: What class should I choose on Star Wars The Old Republic? I am new to mmos and started playing Swtor because I really enjoyed the kotor games. Right now I am playing with the free trial to level 15, but I cannot decide which class to commit to. I figured that if I am going to dedicate lots of time to the game I should have fun doing it. I have played with a few already. My first class was a jedi consular. I like being a jedi shadow, but the story is kinda boring and I hear that its the worst one. Playing as an imperial agent is fun because of the storyline, but I am not a huge fan of the combat. (also I an not sure whether to be a sniper or operative) Trooper is ok so far, but I heard that it gets boring later. I am enjoying sith warrior though. I am interested in a Jedi Knight because I heard it is basically Kotor 3. So basically does anyone have an recommendations regarding a good class for a first time mmo player who wants a good story and companions because I cant decide which one to focus on. Should I stick with the consular, or start another class? Can anyone speak for the bounty hunter, smuggler, or inquisitor?
How to pvp in SWTOR - Star Wars the Old Republic?
At level 10 you can queue for warzones, located at your minimap, bottom right. At level 40 you can go to the WPVP planet called Ilum from your ship. From level 20-50, if you play on a pvp server you can attack hostile faction members on the planet you're on. As for PVP specs... BH spam tracer missile nonstop. Sith warrior/marauder go rage spec for pvp. Imperial agent is good at either AC. Sorcs are best at madness, assassins are best at deception. You want to get the PVP gear that has an e or a word I forgot sorry lol it's on the level 50 pvp gear, there are also red buffs in warzones that grant you 15% of it. It increases damage against players and reduces damage from players.
Which name suits best a Star Wars bounty hunter?
I am starting to play SWTOR and I want to play bounty hunter class. I will do some role playing and my hero will be covered in hi-tech steel armor from head to toe like Ironman. I've narrowed it down to 3 names: 1. Vanquisher - similar to destroyer, comes from latin work for "to be victorious" 2. Shinobi - ninja, comes from japanese meaning "to conseal oneself" 3. Zealot - similar to crusader, comes from greek and means "with passion" Please give me some reasoning on which name I should choose? And please don't give me other options if possible - unless they are absolutely awesome ;) Definately no funny names.
How brutal was Sith training in the Old Republic?
Coming from someone who plays Star Wars: The Old Republic ALOT I can give you a good idea of what training was like at the Sith Academy. Acolytes would arrive at the Sith Academy and would immediately be sent straight into the tombs of the ancient Sith to carry out the bidding of their Overseer. They would go back and give items they were told to collect, frankly they were just sent on suicide missions where they would either be eaten by the hell in the tombs of Korriban or the animals on the surface too. The Acolytes also all rivalled each other and most would be killed by other Acolytes even if they managed to be able to fend off the beasts of Korriban. There was also a terrible danger of external dark side cults and gangs who also inhabited the tombs and land of Korriban, any unfortunate Sith who were not strong enough to fight them if they were unlucky to walk into their territory were most likely to be killed.Then of course they could also be killed by the Overseer if they failed him/her. Eventually a Sith Lord/Darth would come and watch over a couple Acolytes to pick his/her new apprentice. Whoever was the best became their apprentice. Even after the Acolyte became a Sith Apprentice the training didn’t get any easier. Their new Sith Master would torture them as training or for failures. Many even just simply killing their Apprentice if they felt like it. Their Master would send them wherever they wanted to do whatever they wanted, things as simple as petty tasks like talking to an Imperial Agent or things like trying to kill other Sith Lords.Training was absolutely HORRIBLE and most Sith died either a Acolyte or Apprentice. They were treated poorly and were given suicidal tasks. Once a Sith became a Lord their workload might lessen as they were now a fully fledged Sith.
