Another Player Joins!

[nebelstreif]

Hey, my name is Nebel, and I'm completely in love with The Old Republic. I created a new Dreamwidth account for the sole purpose of geeking out about TOR with fellow players. Needless to say, I'm super excited that a community like this exists, because, like catpella , I desperately want a place to just be a fan of The Old Republic.

Right now, I've got somewhere in the vicinity of six characters, all on the Sanctum of the Exalted server (US-RP-PVE-East). I'm pretty much evenly split between Republic and Empire, but all of my characters lean toward the light. Right now, my main is probably the Sith Inquisitor Malarky, but I have the most affection for my sassy Mirialan Smuggler Nebel (pictured in my avatar).

Things seem pretty quiet in this community right now, but hey! That's a-okay. I just want to let everyone know that I am completely down for betaing TOR fiction/commenting on which companions are the best romances/geeking out about the soundtrack, etcetcetc. This game is awesome, and I really want to be part of an equally-awesome fannish community.

Ok, Really, just all of Taris.

I loved the original KOTOR. It's one of my favorite games of all time. So when I got orders to go to Taris, I was really excited that they were dropping a reference.

Then I got there and I was just... floored. I mean, they even used the architecture that we saw in KOTOR, all updated for new graphics. And the Endar Spire, and you find out what happened to the Outcasts... I just love everything about that planet (not to mention Watcher One, who's just a great villain).

I haven't gotten to Republic!side Taris yet, but you guys make it sound exciting. Imperial Taris made me pretty sad as a player, even though IC my Warrior was enjoying the Republic's continual failure.

I'm the exact opposite: I've gotten to Republic!Taris, but not Republic!Balmorra; I've been to Imperial!Balmorra but not Imperial!Taris. It'll be interesting to see both sides' "bookend" to the other faction's story.

Many of my guild members don't like Taris; the early memory bug did it no favors. But I love the planet for the same reasons you do -- it has so much history, and Bioware has been responsible for virtually all of that history, meaning it's a very consistent experience.

Well, except for a few small things. Like the Endar Spire apparently having footage of the Sith bombardment -- I guess it didn't immediately crash down to Taris? But I liked visiting the shipwreck, just like I enjoy the historied nature of the entire planet.

That said, I really wish I had a speeder for that planet from the get-go!
