Mike and I were playing SWTOR yesterday. He was playing his bounty hunter and I was playing my (light side V) Sith Warrior (Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to go through the Sith Warrior story light side?). We had just finished the Voss story arch and headed back to the ship. The Voss Ghost (who guides your Sith Warrior throughout the Voss storyline) appears and warns you that one of your own will betray you.
And I'm thinking, duh! I'm Sith. That has been par for the course with the story. Seems like every other planet a person who previously helped me comes back to try to stab me in the back. But I'm completely thinking he means some random NPC in the Empire that I interacted with previously in the storyline.
I get on my ship and have to go to Corellia. Usually at this point in the stories, there is an intermediate quest that involves boarding and attacking some random ship that has something you need before going to Corellia. This is generally one of those quests that require you to take a specific team member and/or assign your crew to different tasks to complete the mission.
So in this case, Darth Baras is trying to keep me from Corellia and has used his position on the Dark Council to put up a blockade to keep unauthorized ships from entering the planet's space. No ship without this special transponder with the necessary access codes can get through.
OK, crew huddle. Quinn thinks we can steal one from another ship that happens to be in the sector. Pierce states matter-of-factly that doing this means a lot of Imperials will probably die because they aren't just going to hand over the item. But hey, I'm not just a Sith Warrior. I am the Emperor's Wrath damnit. They will obey or die (Or maybe I'll get a light side option to just ask them nicely for the item. Because that DOES actually happen at a few points if you have a high enough light side rating).
Mike is sitting next to me laughing. "I thought you were playing light side?"
"He tried to kill me!"
And this is where the conversation takes on of those terms that only seems logical to us hardcore gamers.
"Are you gonna kill him?" Mike asks.
"Eh, that's not one of the options. Damnit. Just as well. We still need the healer," I say.
"Mako [one of the Bounty Hunter's crew NPCs] can heal for now on."
"Eh, then I have to respect tank or get gear for Broomark to tank." [Blizz has been tanking up until this point]
"I'll respec tank."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I know you prefer to DPS."
"Aw, thank you, honey."
"Besides, I don't trust that bastard to heal anymore."

So we board the ship, with Quinn in toe (because he's healing spec and has been healing the entire game).
And then Quinn tries to kill me! This character is my Sith Warrior's hubby, and he tries to kill me because he is still loyal to Baras. The entire thing was a set up to get me off my ship and away from the rest of the crew.
And then my perfect Light Side V rating gets destroyed because I force choke the heck out of him and throw him against the wall a couple of times for good measure.
