I get bored playing light side characters. It makes me feel like too much of a care bear.

Whatchu say about care bears?

Reblogging for Inquisitor Heart Bear. Because if you think LS = Care Bear, you clearly have not seen some of the LS Empire side options. Quick kill versus slow death, y’all; they still end up dead, and that is not generally in the definition of “Care Bear.” So lol.

Random things that pop into my head at 5am…eh, 5:40am…

Hmm.

Thoughts on my general tendencies when doing BioWare romances below the cut.

I had this much bigger, longer, and likely to end up rambly thing started, but remembered I’d done actually completed two femalePC/malePartyMember romances instead of one. Make that three: remembered I completed female Sith Warrior/Malavai Quinn is SWTOR.

I generally find BioWare’s ladies more interesting than their dudes, partly because my reaction ends up being “Oh, a VARIETY of interesting and non-damsel-in-distress female characters? LET ME KNOW AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN ABOUT THEM.”

But the main idea of my random thought was wondering if my own real-world fear of accidentally dating a Nice Guy if/when I ever start dating impacts how I view BioWare’s male LIs when I’m playing a female character. It might also have to do with my perception of power dynamics, though I think that’s a little less involved in why I wasn’t drawn to femPC/maleNPC in most BioWare games; in SWTOR, though, the fact that the power dynamic in the female Sith Warrior/Malavai Qunn relationship was pretty darn clearly in my Warrior’s favor did have a big impact of why I went for it.

Random thoughts. Partly brought on by spoilery semi-confirmation info about ME3 romanceoptions that I found on an LJ comm.

The outfit progression of my now level 50 Sith Juggernaut, Vraga. SWTOR is the ONLY MMO where I have ever reached a level-cap with a character. And I did that in a little over a month. Also, most (not all; the biker-vest looking thing at least showed of Vraga’s amazing arms) of the armor is not nearly as failtastic on women as the armor in, say, WoW.

There are people who complain that SWTOR sucks or is not really an MMO because of the focus on story-immersion, especially in the class specific quests. For me, it’s the best MMO I’ve ever played, largely because I’m mainly a solo player. The game does not make me feel like I have to group to get the most out of it. I’m a casual gamer–I game in stretches. Does it still have glitches and hiccups and stuff that needs work? Yeah. But it’s only been out a month. And for that, I think it’s pretty amazing.
