SWTOR Thoughts on 5.10: The Good, the Bad, and the Eeehhhhhs [Full Spoilers]
Happy new year!Now that that’s out of the way, it’s finally time for me to turn my attention to going over as much of what came with 5.10 as possible. Since this was a fairly major story patch, the most significant we’ve had since 5.0’s nine Eternal Throne chapters, I decided to enact my “one-month spoiler-free” safety window, hence why it’s taken me so long to get around to posting this. Of course, as is the way of things, this ‘safety protocol’ was rendered somewhat nullified as BioWare promptly began churning out full spoilers for the appearance of a certain character on their website and social media channels. I can’t say I blame them, as this move will undoubtedly attract several long-gone veterans just for this update alone.Anyway, on with the stuff. ~~~The GoodOssus: The Characters I’ve already touched on the returning companions in this post, so I won’t touch on them again here.
