SWTOR Update 10: Darth Cell’ax

Yep, I said I was going to get my Sorcerer, Cell’ax, to 50 this weekend. Well that happened early evening on Sunday.

Lord Cell'ax hits Level 50

Don’t read below unless you don’t mind spoilers for the Inquisitor storyline.

You have been warned.

I spent a lot of the day on Saturday planting trees (6′ trees, so it was fun, and I’m still sore) at my dad’s house. I committed myself to only one day this weekend to helping him. The rest of the time was mine. So Saturday early evening, I started Corellia. If you’ve played Corellia you know what that planet is all about. I thought the integration of the Inquisitor storyline into the planet storyline was particularly well done.  I’ve played through Corellia on my Mercenary, Jianna, and I didn’t get the same kind of connection there. I think that was because, frankly, the story for the Bounty Hunter is the weakest at the end. I can’t honestly remember what the Bounty Hunter storyline was on Corellia, I only remember what happened after that.

So to sum up the storyline, Thanaton is a cowardly little pussy. I easily beat his ass the first time we met on Corellia, and he got away and ran away crying to the Dark Council. Meanwhile, I finished up the Corellia planet storyline, and put the Empire in charge because I freaking hate politicians (especially with the real life primary elections happening in Illinois tomorrow, my state, and yes I’ll be voting). Darbin never had a chance with me….though he might when I get around to playing Idunna, my sniper, as she’s the sole light character I’m playing at the moment.

So after I got done with Corellia, I moved onto Korriban, home of the Dark Council. When I arrived at the Dark Council chamber, I was met by one of Thanaton’s allies of course, again trying to stop me. I then entered the Dark Council chamber, only to listen to Darth Thanaton ranting about how I need to be killed. One of the members of the Council made a good point…if I need to be killed then why has Thanaton found it impossible to kill me. Thanaton then went on about how the Kaggath (a major Sith duel, which took place on Corellia, one which I WON) must be honored because it is a big tradition with the Sith. My problem with this is…if it’s such a great tradition…why isn’t it good enough for him? I’ve already kicked his ass once…but he ran off to the Dark Council.

Thanaton being a hypocritical little bitch

So after his little rant, I proceeded to kick his ass again. Then in a nice cinematic, he puts on a nice light show, then I use all my power and bitch slap him resulting in his death. So now I’ve not only been made a Darth (wtf is up with calling me Darth Nox?!), but I’ve also taken Thanaton’s seat on the Dark Council.

I have to say…I loved the Inquisitor storyline. I started off well with the end of Chapter 1. It got a little bit slow in Chapter 2, and into Chapter 3, but it ended quite strong.

So I’m still finishing up the storyline on Ilum. I managed to make enough money to pick up the 3rd tier speeder training, but I haven’t quite got enough for a rank 3 speeder. After I do dailies tonight, I’ll easily have the money to get one. My goal is to always have one 50 running dailies, and I want them to be benefiting from them with something other than just money. So Cell’ax reaching 50 was timed nicely since Jianna, my mercenary, just got done putting together her set of armor with post-50 mods.

Next up is my Operative, Lurch. I’m really looking forward to the agent storyline as I’ve heard great things about it.

I took a whole bunch of screenshots from my play this weekend. So enjoy.
