To be fair Star wars always kind of had shity artistic style except for a few key things like the Star Destroyers.

Sure bruv. There is a difference between 'uninspired', 'bland' or 'subpar' that you come to expect from games with poor art direction though. 'Absolutely fucking dreadful' is something that I very rarely see outside of low-budget indie productions - and when I do see something of the sort, chances are it came from Japan.

Also, KoTOR 1&2 fell into the 'uninspired' or 'subpar' categories at times but never got even close to being a visual atrocity.

These guys? One at a time? Do you even lift? :smug:

Darth Dickheadus: Marauder says one thing the entire time, "why the hell are we killing everything"

They can be stunned on Story Mode, meaning a competent assassin/operative or two make the whole run much faster. Doesn't work like that on HM at all.

Darth Dickheadus: FUCKING
Darth Dickheadus: marauders

I do believe that sentiment spans across servers. They tend to have permanent ADHD.
I love to not-heal such creatures when on my healer and not-tank for them when I'm on my tank.

... To pass time in between getting horribly murdered in JA 1.13, and honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised. Much like WoW, so far it's just mindlessly pressing the same buttons as soon as their respective cooldown finishes, but unlike that MMO young me was willing to actually pay for, here I can mash buttons for free. And you have the dialog in between: as you'd expect it's not amazing, but it does its job of changing the pace a bit with something other than hiking simulation, which is a plus for me. Reasonably enjoyable the voice acting (imperials seem to have received better care honestly).

Also, playing a light side bounty hunter is eh... hem. You take contracts, then fail to complete them, but lie your way to get a reward anyway, and later you receive a message from your supposed target with another reward. Occasionally dark side also does this, but it seems rarer. Interesting take.

Twenty bucks says it's the Exile.

My Exile was male, who the fuck is this woman?

You can make your Exile a transsexual tomato for all I care, but the real Exile is a middle-aged woman named Meetra Surik.

I don't care about some retards who decided to make this canon. Fuck them. That's how the 'real' Exile should have looked like:
