Paying the price for first choice availability?

I was under the impression that living Dark Lords seem to do that task well enough, and not just with the young (Darth Sidious being a prime example). :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Freedon Nadd--->Exar Kun--->Kyp Durron

The newly revealed characters: --->Handmaiden --->Visas Marr --->Disciple --->Mandalore

Perhaps some of the of the taint will arise from interaction with a Sith apparition. Ghosts of the old Dark Lords do seem to have a tendency of possessing or corrupting foolish, arrogant young Jedi.

:D You did? Cool! I always acted so bloody noble during the Leviathan. Did you also revealed that you were after the Star Forge? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah. It sounded a bit dodgy to me, lol. The first time 'round, I was even tight-lipped about asking people for starmaps. :ph34r: Besides, it's one more 'sting in the tail' for Basty babes.

And yet the same Bastilla practically has a conniption when I reveal the location of the not-so-hidden "hidden Jedi base". <_<

Hmm...but why would Saul have to find the enclave? Working under the assumption that Malak & Saul did have the occasional chit-chat concerning the logistics of ruling an empire, Malak surely would have made Saul aware to this already, no?

Where did you see this? I was under the impression that there wouldn

Here's the thing though - surely he must hav already known about the enclave because Malak most likely trained to beome a Jedi at Dantooine (the Jedi Masters on Dantooine go into how Revan & Malak were as pupils and Revan's thrist for knowledge etc.). Furthermore, he was on Dantooine with Revan (searching for the Starmap), during a timeline when the Academy existed on Dantooine. Therefore, there's no way he could have 'learned' of the Academy's presence; he was already aware of it.

Also, the quintessential factor exacerbating these 'worldy destructive' tendancies, is the Starforge. The Starforge is almost like a living being - feeding and hungering for Dark Side energies. Malak, of course, was not mentally of sufficent strengh to resist the corrupting effects of the Starforge. And the more Dark Side energy the Starforge consumes, the more it needs, thus requiring greater & greater wanton destruction in order to satisfy its insatiable appetite. This explains why Malak became increasingly evil and destructive, bordering insanity. But now that it's established that Malak (and not Saul), was the chief instigator for the bombardment of Telos & Taris, the question still remains concerning Dantooine...for if Malak was aware of it before, why was no action taken until Saul Karath's? And at that rate, why wasn't Dantooine common knowledge for Saul in the first place?

Yeah, but just like Taris, that was probably Malak's idea as well. During the Leviathan interrogation (in reference to the Telos bombing), Saul explained to Carth something along the lines that 'the Sith would not accept me until I turn my back on the Republic' - hence Telos merely being an example Saul's loyalty carrying out his orders. Also, during the post-revelation on the Ebon Hawk (when Carth blamed Revan for the destruction of Telos), Canderous said (paraphrased): 'We all know Malak gave the order to destroy your world, Carth. You can't blame Revan for that' Your thoughts?

Give me hoods and I'll wait for KotOR III :D

The only good wookie is a dead wookie. <_<

A darksaber, eh?

Interesting points Salsa. I'm thinking that your theory is right. Malak probably couldn't be bothered to 'inform' Saul on the situation, and Admiral Karath thus tried to look smart in front on Malak by (i) finding out the location for himself; (ii) destroying the enclave. But does this mean that it was Saul directly who gave the order to bombard Dantooine, and not Malak? Stange, as Malak did seem to have a thing for bombing planets...

Atton will be using anarmed combat for sure...he's a very 'hands-on' type of guy. "

Indeed. I've always wanted to Sith slap some Selkath cheek flaps... :ph34r:

Hydrogen, You should talk to Candy on the Starforge.

Why did the Sith wait so long then, if they knew about it from day 1 ?

I'd settle for a $50 rebate... "

As I was holding off levels at lvl 2 on K1, I was toting around with Zalbaar's Bowcaster until the distance was closed down...after which I'd whip out my trustly Prototype Vibroblade. Ah...Taris - good times, good times. *sigh* Since you already start off as a Jedi in K2, there's no point to holding off levels so it will be: vibroblade--->vibrosword ---->lighsaber.

Here's something that puzzles me : Why was it necessary for Sarul Karath to 'figure out' the Jedi Enclave location and why did it take the Sith so long to locate Dantooine? Wouldn't Malak have trained there when he was a Jedi? Surely they could have just asked him...

And option 'blank' is running away with it...

Dude, where's my lightsaber? ^_^
