Star Wars: The Old Republic: Difference between revisions

*** Or possibly [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Mara Jade]] (without force ability)

** This isn't just the classes; Companion characters are designed to channel Star Wars Tropes like the [[The Big Guy|Big Aliens]] and [[Robot Buddy|Protocol and Astromech Droids]],. Non-player characters also channel Star Wars characters; Satele Shan, for instance, acts as a cross between Mon Mothma, Leia, and Yoda. Grand Moff Kilran is clearly inspired by Tarkin, even channeling some of his lines. Darth Malgus also has elements of Darth Vader in him. Even the ships all channel starships from the movies! And then we get to the non-Star Wars examples...

** [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Crix_Madine Commander Madine on Balmorra is the leader of a Republic offensive determined to liberate Balmorra from Imperial occupation.]

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: The origin story of the Sith Inquisitor is that they start out as a captured slave whom the Sith have discovered some Force Sensitivity.

* [[Guilt Based Gaming]]: Go a while without logging in or unsubscribe and you'll get e-mails about how your most-used companions miss you.

* [[Guns Are Useless]]: Averted, guns are just as capable of killing Jedi and Sith.

* [[Harmless Freezing]]: The Trooper's Cryo Grenade ability does this.

* [[Healing Shiv]]: Republic Trooper Commandos and Bounty Hunter Bodyguards use gun attachments to heal other players, as well as summoning healing droids from [[Hammerspace]].

** And the Player character too of course if you choose to.

* [[Jedi Mind Trick]]: It's a [[Star Wars]] game, this is being included, it's tradition.

* [[The Juggernaut]]: One of the Sith Warrior [[Prestige Class|Advanced Specializations]] is actually ''called'' this.

* [[Karmic Death]]: Some Sith on Dromund Kaas have decided to [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|hunt random Imperial citizens for fun.]] Light side characters can turn the tables on them by {{spoiler|tricking them into hunting other Sith, resulting in them getting executed.}}

* [[No Points for Neutrality]]: [[Averted]], a first for [[BioWare]] games that include a [[Karma Meter]]. There will be specific rewards and gear for players who mix their decisions.

* [[Noob Cave|Noob Planet]]: Four of them - Tython for Jedi Knights and Consulars, Ord Mantell for Troopers and Smugglers, Hutta for Imperial Agents and Bounty Hunters, and Korriban for Sith Warriors and Inquisitors. Dromund Kass and Coruscant tend to get this treatment as well, since classes only gain access to their ship after leaving their capital world.

'''Bounty Hunter [[Player Character]]''': (waves hand) ''You, will realize what a complete idiot you are.'' }}

** And this one:

** In The False Emperor Flashpoint, the game's main theme starts to play once {{spoiler|you weaken Malgus to the point where you have to throw him into a pit.}}

* [[Three Act Structure]]: Each of the eight class story-lines follow this.

** Major Bessiker on Balmorra in the sith inquisitor class quest. He basically ''orders'' the player to go rescue his son or the player will not get the required anti-toxin remedy. His son himself fits the trope, a sith apprentice who ''orders'' you to free him "so he can go claim a rare artifact of power whose map he holds." No points for guessing [[Kill'Em All|that it all ends in blood.]]

* [[To Win Without Fighting]]: The Jedi Consular and Imperial Agent both get a lot of opportunities to end confrontations without bloodshed. Even when it fails it often gives you an advantage in the ensuing fight.

** Satele's Master in the game's opening sequence (also known as the ''Return'' Trailer).

** In the first Imperial flashpoint, you can execute the Captain for refusing to attack a (stronger) Republic vessel.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: The Dark Side option for dealing with Thana Vesh at the end of the Imperial Taris questline. Given her interactions with your character, it's hard to imagine anyone actually letting her live.
