Thread 3860719

What does /vrpg/ think of the classic Bioware companion Mission Vao?

I make Zaalbar murder her on DS runs.

>>3860719 (OP)
I liked keeping her SWTOR clone collared forever

>>3860719 (OP)
She's cute.

I wish Bioware didn't fuck up her stats and make her a blaster monkey instead of a cool melee wielding rogue she was supposed to be originally

>>3860719 (OP)
Cute Twi'lek girl. Simple backstory but a well-written companion. An absolute damage monster with blasters if you stun enemies for her with force powers. The jedi in the party just stunned people and she mopped them up with criticals.

>>3860761
You can build her however you want. She can still be a competent assassin, problem is its just not worth the effort to set it up because its much easier to just plow through it with your badass jedi MC. I get so bored trying to do different things in this game, because the simple fact is that blasters kinda suck and you can't really redeem them, so its always the same shit every game.

>>3860719 (OP)
never really used her past Taris to be honest, Zaalbar just plows through everything with his retard strength for second companion I can just bring Jolee or Bastilla

>>3860719 (OP)
Underrated party member because people don't understand Sneak Attack in general.

>>3860990
It's just too slow burner and bulky, and just useless in general in K1 compared to a pure brawler/caster build.
It's a whole different story in K2 however

>>3860719 (OP)
makes me wish KOTOR had a 6 party team instead of 3 party team
it's not hard coded like BG1 where Minsc/Dynaheir and Jaheira/Khalid are inseparable, but it feels right to have her with Zaalbar but then your party is full
so I just go with Bastilla and HK-47 instead

>>3860990
Much faster and much more fun to just jump in sword swinging/guns blazing than to setup some sneak attack shite with kotors goofy mechanics and movement.

>>3860719 (OP)
I never really use her outside of Taris. My party's usually some combination of Carth/Bastila/Jolee/Canderous

>>3860770
Inferior blue Neeshka.

>>3861043
Oh don't worry, Minsc and Jaheira are indeed separable from their companions.

>>3861137
I love both of them. And Imoen. And Tali. And Yuffie.
I might have a type.

>>3861043
>he doesn't swap his party several times per planet and sticks to a single setup
Kek, silly anon can't roleplay in a roleplaying game

>>3860719 (OP)
Vette was better

>>3861265
Pedo

>>3861231
She doesn't have a slave collar in this image.

>>3861389
She's legal in the core systems!

>>3861396
If she's legal, why is there no romance?

>>3861401
Revan is a space racist

>>3861402
There is a Juhani romance, it's rudimentary, but it's there.

>>3861405
>There is a Juhani romance
You must be misremembering, she's a lesbian.

>>3861408
Revan is a black woman.

>>3861412
Revan is unironically better as a woman. Male Exile all the way though

>>3860719 (OP)
More games need cute daughters to teach the art of adventure and hobomurder to.

>>3861445
Exile has to be male, because Atris and Handmaiden. Disciple is an irrelevant character.

>>3861461
>Disciple is an irrelevant character.
No, he is not. In any case, I always play with the Party Swap mod regardless of the Exile's gender (although I pick male like 9 times out 10)

>>3861231
Just throwing "Mission, but you can fuck her" in SWTOR reminds me of Tali being made romancable in ME2

>>3861408
You can fix that with mods

>>3861445
Finally, men of culture.
>>3861627
And I fell for it both times, no regrets to this day.

>>3861412
>>3861445
Why? Serious question
Never played femRevan

>>3860719 (OP)
She was a good friend.

im late, but Mission was my fav when i was small. still my fav kotor companion, really. maybe im biased at this point.
more recently i played it again, also liked canderous.

>>3860772
are there mods which make the combat harder, enemy AI better for that game similar to BG1/2 SCS and tactics remix mods?

Somewhere between "meh" and "ew". Was kinda fun to force Zaalbar to murder her.

>>3860990
>Underrated party member because people don't understand Sneak Attack in general.
Only semi hard fight that takes more than "I click soldier/guardian makes it explode" fight is last fight where you fight alone and fucker have so high saves that minmaxed consular may have a problem. While hitting things hard bitch slaps Malak in two rounds.
However said that I realized that companions builds do not matter and you should take whoever you want as CHARNAME could solo entire game.

>>3863272
If you're doing autistic set ups, having Mission can be great since she doesn't have to focus on being good at combat, so she can take the skill bonuses.
I prefer going MC, Juhani, and (rotating third member) myself.

>>3863272
If we're talking about the highest difficulty, Taris is decently challenging. And after Taris nobody has enough AC to reliably facetank physical damage for quite a while, though improved Energy Resistance negates everything else.

>>3863288
And even on normal it can be pretty painful.

She’s 17 and 364 days old you sick fucks!

>Make alien with adult human woman body, conventionally attractive facial features.
>make her a minor
Whys BioWare so homosexual?

>>3863385
>Officer, she was very mature for her age!
Pedo.

>>3863384
She's 14.

>>3863384
She's 14, but I am a worshipper of Allah.

>>3861718
Not them, but
>further solidifies Revan's stance as a maverick amongst mavericks, because even in Star Wars hardly anyone expects a woman to become an all-powerful warlord
>better written romance (although the bar isn't particularly high that's for sure), as well as some really funny NPC interactions (mostly in the early game)
>elder sister/mentor dynamics with Bastila akin to Obi-Wan/Anakin, makes her redemption more meaningful and satisfying
>makes Malak seem like even more of a pathetic and envious faggot than he already is when you play as male
>most of what we know about Revan from the two games fuck TOR points to them being a powerful Consular which doesn't automatically mean they're female but it's slightly more plausible given that Consulars don't focus on physical combat that much

>>3863385
That's what I love about Mission, man. I get older, she always stays the same age.

>>3865564
meant for >>3863384

>>3864860
Female Revan also makes it more interesting how Malak lost his jaw.

>>3860990
Sneak Attack isn't worth understanding. It takes 5x the time and effort to set up than just bum rushing in with Max Force Speed+Max Flurry w/two handed and does a fifth of the damage as just dumping 6 attacks.

>>3865664
*Force Stasis*
There's your "setup" bro

>>3865723
In K1 you also need to position your character behind the enemy for max effect, unironically too much hassle

>>3865800
You LITERALLY don't need to be behind them if they're stunned. It's attacks made from behind, OR against stunned targets, OR from stealth mode.

>>3865588
too thicc, imo. she needs to be slightly skinnier.

Playing solomons revenge right now since a accidentaly installed it from a mod pack and HOLY SHIT ITS KINO
if it wasn't for the bugs and the lack of skill based way of solving things I wouldn't have even recognised that this was a mod, all this quality made in 2009, how can AAA even compete

>>3860719 (OP)
She's terrible, even the beks won't help her.

>>3864860
None of that makes up for the fact that you have to play as a woman instead of being a badass Jedi/Sith.

>>3866153
>t.

>>3866105
Why are you black?

>>3866286
because I am a "dark jedi" haha get it
because I am a normal jedi exept black haha, very funny
also because of the larger default cock size

>>3866105
Idk. It would have been far less shitty if the new squadmate spoke Basic instead of Moocha Shaka Paka. Which imo seems like the easiest component of the mod to create, speaking into a recording mic just sounds much simpler than organizing billions of zeros and billions of ones in a very precise order. Leading me to assume the nerds who produced Solomon's Revenge never even laid eyes on a real woman

Also I hope you have Force Wave, otherwise fighting all 20 clones of the last boss simultaneously is literally impossible afaik

>>3866286
Black people have been allowed to join the Jedi for millennia. I see no problem here

>>3860719 (OP)
>Adopt her as my little sister
>Get saved by her when captures by Malak
>Still kill her because the game dev left me no choice
>Wacth the other cunt I really wanted to kill, escape

that was evel as fuck

>>3866191
Try again lol.

>>3866301
>Black people have been allowed to join the Jedi for millennia. I see no problem here
Not him, but he's implying why you would want to play as a black character. Even black people don't want to be black.

>>3866345
Being black isn't that bad by Star Wars standards, at least you're still high in the pecking order by virtue of being human. Definitely beats being born a Rodian, Hutt, Droid-machine, Twi'lek or a Gammorean pigmonster who all wish they were black

>>3866367
It has nothing to do with being black in star wars standards. Most black people don't pick black characters in any games they play because no one wants to be black, even in a fictional universe.

KINO
SO FVUKN KINO

so I just finished Kotor 1 and might jump straight into kotor 2 with restored content

reading the strat guide a lot has changed, sentinel actualy has value now, its prestige class actualy gets stealth bonuses too

so I might actualy go sentinel stealth/crit build, the only question now it if I go light side or dark side
sith assassin gets higher sneak attack bonuses but they don't get multiplied by crits and watchman gets more feats

idk, level cap is 30 now right? so basicaly that shouldn't be much of an issue?
I wonder if I can go sith assassin and then just nope out and become light side regardless, what mastery bonus would I even get when that happens?

>>3866854
>idk, level cap is 30 now right?
Technically it's 50, but you'll never reach it without glitching. 28-30ish is the realistic endgame with the mod.

>>3866371
Actually. Not everybody always likes to RP as whichever the game's character creator offers you as it's master race every time. I don't want to be black or be a woman but after playing the Kotors at least 10 times as a white guy sometimes it is refreshing to roll black a Reven or a female Revan to mix things up a bit as it throws an entire different games storytelling if you reroll as a different race or gender. Playing as a black Revan can be interesting because it is closest you can get to playing as an alien in these two Star Wars RPGs. Through a certain point of black people in Star Wars constitute as a near-human species like the Chiss, Zabrak, Miraluka etc.. The Lore explanation for near-human species existence in Star Wars being that they are genetic offshoots of normal humans who evolved on distant lost colony worlds before the invention of hyperspace travel. Playing as a black Revan (or a black man in any Star Wars game for that matter) gives the player an interesting worldbuilding POV because unwanted aliens like Ithorians, Gonk droids, Gungans, Jawas, Gammoreans etc wish they can at least be near-human (black in this case) and look up to you and envy you yet at the same time the ingame white human characters look down on you what with the Galaxy's pure-human inhabitants all too often exhibiting a sense of superiority over near-humans (Blacks, Zabraks and etc)

>>3864860
All that cope to justify your AGP bullshit. Kill yourself.

That’s ATP. AGP is what you get from anime and porn addiction.

>>3867340
I don't self insert :^)

>>3866389
Real SW never came close to this level if peak again. (Imp Agent aside.)

>>3865723
for me it's Insanity
