Description There are several things I wanted to sort out before letting this guy back on my ship, and I didn't get a chance to do it in the game.

And then there was that [flirt] option where you tell him he can just make it up to you in bed later . . . Too soon.  TOO SOON.

If you're going to look inside his head, the way I see it, there are three main possibilities:

1. He likes or loves you: He really didn't want to do this to his good friend and/or lover, but he felt like Baras left him no choice.  He's pissed at Baras for that, and if he sees an option to side with you against Baras, he'll take it.

2. Neutral: You're just someone he's worked with for while, and he has no problem sacrificing you for personal gain, but he'll gladly agree to serve you afterward if it saves his skin.  His "deep regret" is that he guessed wrong about which Sith was stronger, so if you really are stronger than Baras, he'll stay loyal.

3. He hates you: You've been a jerk to him the whole game, and he relished the chance to do you in personally.  His only regret is not making the droids strong enough to win.  He'll feign loyalty to you if you spare him, but he'd rather work for Baras than you, and will probably look for a chance to betray you again and more effectively.

wow been awhile since someone posted a comment on these. I just wanted to say that I was a SWTOR player back in the days and did the inquisitor class and never finished the warrior class( I did start it but didn't finished it) It was only ressently that I played the part you are showing in this comic and I remember that the only thing that I felt was betrayed and anger I wouldn't of hesitated to killed him on the spot but I dont think the game let you do that(you can torture him which I did) but I was kinda angry at the game that it forces us to remain with a traitor.

At first All I could think was why?
why he did that?
And it's only now after reading your comics that I remembered him talking to me about his previous desobedience that ruined him. Now I feel bad, all this time I thought he was a disloyal snake but he did had good motives and actually remained loyal to the one who assign him to us''Baras''.
after that accident I felt so betrayed that everytime he opened his mouth I would shut him up or be rude for no reasons. I'm gonna buy him somthing nice, next time, to apologies.

I've read most of the comics you have uploaded here and have liked just about everyone of them. Remembering back to my earlier days of SWTOR (2011-2013) I made my first Sith character because a friend of mine had a Sith Assassin and I thought I would be the tank to his DPS and went with Sith Warrior. At first I thought I would have him be a stereotypical dark and brooding Sith and then I saw this comic and decided I was going to be the nicest Sith Lord ever just to throw Republic troopers and Jedi for a loop X) . In the long run I feel I made a good choice there. Although I didn't appreciate lightside Jaesa Willsam in my earlier days of SWTOR as much as I do now having just come back to the game last December, I've come to prefer her lightside storyline more than the alternative. Something your comics helped dawn on me is my lack of non-human player characters in my line up. If I'm ever in a James Bond mood, I'll probably make my first imperial agent a Chiss.

This may come out of left field to you, but I am curious as to what 'voice' you give to your Sith Pureblood warrior that is portrayed in your comics? Is it the same as the female sith warrior voice provide by the game or something different? Because of an excellent auditory memory, I've developed a reading habit of inserting voices from TV shows, movies, and video games to give even minor characters as fitting of a voice as possible. It helps me to keep the dialog between characters distinct when it's exclusively in text form. For more famous characters I usually tried to stick to what is considered their canon tone of voice or if I'm having trouble bring it to mind, fall back on a great secondary depiction. An example of is with Luke Skywalker. If I'm having trouble at the time remembering Mark Hamill's exact tone of voice from the original trilogy I fall back on Bob Bergen's depiction from the Jedi Knight games. There are some depictions which that I felt were so great it's difficult to match or exceed the voice performance I've come to know and love. An example of that being Jeff Bennett's Kyle Katarn (also heard in the Jedi Knight games) which will probably remain my all time favorite voice for that character. Speaking of Jeff Bennett, it was a pleasant surprise to me when I freed Revan in that certain flashpoint and heard a little bit of his Katarn voice in there. Something I've noticed overtime when it comes to my knowledge of voices is my lacking in a broader spectrum of female voice tones and accents. Hopefully more exposure to female characters such as the one's in SWTOR, Star Wars Rebels, and RWBY will help with that.

You know, I actually have very few human characters in SWTOR--2 out of a total of 9.  I wanted to try all the different options.

For the more serious role that Dakrah plays as a leadership character in my guild, the game's female Sith Warrior voice is a good fit. But in the comics, she feels a bit younger and more animated than that, like Diane Spencer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0lZ_t…

Nice, I'm using that voice for Dakrah from now on.

Still, had to die, at least tossing him around and choking him is a half pleasure, but danm killing him would have been good.

I've been betrayed before, and this episode in the game ensured that I'd never have a complete romance with Quinn.   BUT it just means I have to be really inventive in my writing!

There's a LITTLE Disappointment....But. I see that Quinn felt he had no choice, but it still jars her badly...and after that sweet message he sent her....He'll be sleeping on the couch for a loooooong time.

The couch in the Fury looks pretty uncomfortable for sleeping.  It has those metallic dividers between each of the seats.

Well, this is Why Quinn won't EVER want to upset her again. Not if he wants to break his back on that couch.

I guess there would be some people who want to play their sith warrior like that.


But not me.

There are more ways in which the game limited us too much in this moment.

No matter what, my Wrath would have killed him for this, even if only because trust lost is generally not earned back with her.

Oh sure everybody wants a pure, uncomplicated love, but the messy, complicated ones are always so much more interesting to watch.  Not to mention that if they get a "happy ending" they're so much more satisfying.

Aemixx In reply to RickF7666 [2014-01-19 05:35:15 +0000 UTC]

That's why this is my favorite romance in the game.  Although the game left the ending sort of up in the air.

I feel sorry for both of them, I really hope for a happy ending and that things are salvageable QAQ I just hope their "scavenging" skill level is high enough for this one.

You'll have to wait and see!  It's rare for Sith to have happy endings, but if the end is far enough away, a lot of things can happen in the meantime.
