ysobelI've been slowly working through SWTOR stuff. I'm slightly hampered by altitis (and by distractions from other games), so my highest level character is only 24, but it's fun.
Necessary backstory: SWTOR has the Bioware dialog wheel, which means that in conversations and cutscenes, the player has a choice of three options. In many cases it's purely cosmetic, though in some cases a choice will swing your alignment to light side or dark side, and it's kind of fun settling on personalities. (My Sith is a snarky brat who tends to insult people and go for dark side options; my bounty hunter just goes with options that mention credits, and otherwise is indifferent; my trooper goes with arrogant efficiency.)
The highest level character, who is the Sith inquisitor, is currently on a quest chain to subvert the power structure of a bunch of local gangs. At one point, a weaker gang brought tributes to me to get on my good side; the option I chose turned out to be "I like presents."
(Necessary backstory the second: the dialog options are not actually what you end up saying. This sometimes frustrates me when I read an option as sarcastic and it turns out to be sincere; but it's also sometimes fun to see what comes out.)
So I get another gang on my side, and they're worshipping me and stuff, which is awesome, and then they ask me to share some of my wisdom. I am given the following options:
* Peace is a lie. [no alignment change]
* Be kind. [light side]
* Bring me presents! [dark side]
I stared at the dark side option and giggled my head off.
That's the one I chose, of course.
What I ended up saying was that I wanted "robes made of solid gold".
One of the people commented that I was as crazy as the previous leader. One of the other people said "Shut up before the Sith fries us." They scrounge together some money, but it turns out not to be enough for "solid gold anything".
Of the three options I'm given, one of which is "Sigh."
That translates to "I suppose I could settle for silk..."
