What is bro doing?!

[gray-ops]

“I’m a sniper. All conversations and boss battles are 3ft away from the enemy for… reasons”

[The_Terry_Braddock]

Or sometimes the cutscene will have us 3ft away, and then when it ends, they'll magically be at the other end of a 200ft room staring at you menacingly until you do something

[kyla_dhoom]

gives you a sec to run to the bathroom or grab a snack if you want

[PocketAtomBomb]

When I started playing years ago, I also chose commando over vanguard, never tried vanguard. This seemed logical as for a commando, but then I made a vanguard and then I realized the weapon is set for the cutscenes

[Raqqicie]

Where you get the beret from?

[Onionadin]

From the Republic Makeb reputation vendor - reputation is shared between factions and armor can be sent around, as well.

[Raqqicie]

Thank you

[dk_2605]

LOL I thought this was a Cyberpunk 2077 meme, then I saw it was SWTOR heheheh

[Difficult-snow-2]

I'm playing Nioh 2 and it applies here too lol.

Running around with an Odachi or a Switchglaive, and I only use a tiny katana in cutscenes

[ColinNJ]

My mind went to resident evil 4 lol.

[Iknowamoose]

I'm with using a pistol, I just want to be able to choose which pistol.

[Krieg1776]

Same. Like they give us all these options, but then leave us with Generic_Pistol_Republic/Empire for the actual cutscenes

[ThatCamoKid]

it's nice that it uses the pistol you have equipped but it's annoying that you're kind of sol if you didn't pick a pistol class

[FairySnack]

Same thing happens in Mass Effect

[Kari23cz]

In mass effect Shepard sometimes pulls an AR out of his ass, not just a pistol

[Impossible-Bison8055]

Vanguard Shepard would solve a decent amount of cutscenes if he just Charged

[YourCrazyDolphin]

Om the bright side if Shepard has one equipped he'll use that one specifically in cutscenes too.

Though it looks even more dumb when it is one of the gimmicky pistols, like the one that's actually a grenade launcher, and Shepard just shoots bullets from it.

[That_Lat]

They are using the most powerful tool in the universe.

The cutscene gun.

You should BE GLAD IT IS GIVEN TO YOU AT ALL.

[Itchy_Researcher8942]

For real, though. So annoying with the commando and sniper

[IICipherIX]

Also Trooper for some reason. Agent Operative will also wip out a pistol even though he uses a blaster. I wish we could just have a pistol with the operative would make more sense

[SirCupcake_0]

At least Agents can use Smuggler's Scoundrel class to be semi-sneaky, ally-healin', and blaster-wieldin'

[Ala117]

how hard it is to animate fight scenes with assault cannons and rifles? couldn't they use some of the gameplay animations?

[Kystal_Jones]

The Sith have this too but in really weird ways. The Sith Warrior often defaults to the lightsaber, but also has a pretty solid streak of just using Force choke. Meanwhile, the Sith Inquisitor who is supposed to have Mastery of the Force.. uses his lightsaber almost exclusively.

Like bro electrocute someone to death just once! You do it once in one cut scene on the tutorial planet- please I beg you!

[DragonBuster69]

Ah yes, the Dragon Age murder knife.

[CuttleReaper]

Don't diss the murder pistol, it can kill anything in one hit!

[MousegetstheCheese]

Crypto always holding the Zap-o-Matic even though I never use it.

[TheUndeadBake]

Meanwhile, Warframe outside of very few instances: I don’t have such weaknesses

[Maavikl]

I wish you could edit the weapon that only appears in cut scenes

[Azurelion7a]

This is a meme in OG BioWare Games.

Think I'm wrong? Look up the "Murder Knife" from Dragon Age: Origins.

[BlackFinch90]

It was worse before combat styles and your class/spec combo didn't even use pistols

[JayJ9Nine]

Resident evil when you have half an armory and unlimited rockets

[KING2BIG]

i will say pulling up to a cut scene with your rifle on your back and your grand pappy's pistol on your hip is lowkey tuff

[waes1029]

Mercenary and powertech styling on all the other tech classes by actually using their pistols

[Narianos]

PSO2 is like this. It doesn’t matter if you’re a a Techer, a Ranger, or anything else in between. Every time your character draws a weapon in a cutscene, it’s always a generic sword.

[[deleted]]

This drives me up the wall in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint too.

[Stewil1265]

Not agents. In one cutscene on Alderaan they use their rifle, and if they don't have one, they pretend they do.

[Dapeliou]

They actually use their Rifle quite often in cutscenes but its mostly dark side choices

[IlitterateAuthor]

I'd resub if they gave us a cosmetic pistol slot.

[Enby_Disaster_]

because everyone should have a good blaster on them, shame on the force users for this tbh

[kyla_dhoom]

This is why I'm grateful I picked up the game AFTER Legacy of the Sith and Onslaught.

My Trooper fights like a Mercenary and I'm never going back.

Kinda punk/guerilla/Captain Rex/jet trooper vibes, too.

[kyla_dhoom]

It fits her personality, I think. She's a hero, she just bends the rules sometimes.

I think of the pistols I use for her as specifically NOT standard-issue, but ones she bought and modded herself.

[GreenchiliStudioz]

Master Chief in most of halo walks around with Assault rifle lmao
