Many Bounty Hunter abilities have no significant cooldown time, and there's no energy cost to worry about, but they do generate heat. But in game terms it was convenient: we were always heading to the same place so we could fight side by side.īounty Hunters can only use blaster pistols, small weapons that fire in quick bursts, so the real damage is done by gadgets like your wrist-mounted rocket launcher. That's what I mean when I say TOR doesn't attempt to reconcile players' stories to each other. The plot hinges on the fact that Nemro can only endorse one aspiring hunter in this competition, so the idea that we'd help each other earn his favour is a complete contradiction of our characters. Rather than run between my story and Josh's Imperial Agent one, it made more sense to team up with a fellow Bounty Hunter.
I needed Nemro the Hutt, and he is not a good space slug to need. But it's exclusive: I needed a powerful sponsor to put me forward. It's an interplanetary contest for mercs like me to make a name for themselves by going after the most elusive targets in the galaxy. There are plenty of sidequests scattered around that we could have done arranged to do together, but your class story is always the focus.Īs a Bounty Hunter, my class story was all about The Great Hunt. Since class determines your main story, players of different classes are playing different games. That put us both on Hutta, a wretched swamp of scum and villainy run by things with names ending in 'the Hutt'. Josh, playing alongside me, chose the other class available to us: Imperial Agent. I picked Bounty Hunter, because I liked the wrap-them-in-string ability shown off in the class trailer. But of course, thousands and thousands divided by eight is still hundreds and hundreds, so it doesn't solve the underlying problem of people playing through the same content in the same world. To that extent, The Old Republic does give different players different stories. It even influences your voice and your personality. Your main quest, your occupation, your reason for being, the people you'll meet, the ship you can get and the overall story of your character from start to finish are all specific to your class. Your choice of class, however, is crucial. Writing director Daniel Erickson says the faction you belong to “is very much about where were you born, more than anything else.” Virtuous people on both sides try to save lives in their line of work, and cruel people everywhere are never short of excuses to kill. You choose from eight classes when creating a character in The Old Republic: The Republic Trooper, Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular and Smuggler are the good guys, and the Imperial Agent, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor and Bounty Hunter are the Empire's.
