  1. Yes, of course, Atris is the most important character in the game. She manipulates Exile, Kreia and Nihilus to achieve her own goals: to restore the Jedi Order and to become the strongest Jedi ever by studying Sith holocrons. Atris is also Arren Kae and Brianna's mother. And she does achieve her goals: the Telosian Academy is inhabited by one (1) Jedi, which means that the Jedi Order was never as powerful as then. In addition, she adopts the dark side, the more powerful one. Also, she succeeds in eliminating the Sith threat and cleansing the Jedi Order from other Jedi Masters, which didn't deserve to live because of their arrogance. To do this, she does the following: 1. Steals the Ebon Hawk and T3-M4, so that Exile will come to Telos. 2. Allows T3-M4 to download her archives, so that Exile can know where to find the other Jedi Masters. 3. After the Masters are dead (if Exile is LS, Atris foresees that it is Kreia who will kill them), her handmaidens bring Kreia to Telos to make Exile follow her. Atris knows about the bond, so she doesn't kill Kreia, as she still needs Exile. 4. When Exile returns to face Atris, she tricks him into believing that it was all Kreia's fault. Also, she reveals her master plan to deal with Nihilus. The plan succeeds, and Atris doesn't even need to face anyone herself. Atris is supreme and allmighty. She is the central character of the plot and without her, there would be no plot.
  2. I don't understand, is it supposed to be a pun on me or what?
  3. Manipulation and deception from Atris? Please. She has, like, two conversations with the Exile in the whole game, and in the first, she just wants to get him off Telos as quickly as possibly. In the second, she reveals the truth about Kreia.
  4. So many mistakes? Correct them, then.
  5. Betrayed them? Vrook betrayed Khoonda? How exactly? For me, it's a claim of the same sort as the claim that Disciple betrayed the Republic. How? Atris and Kreia are not Jedi by the time you meet them, and are therefore not included.
  6. I hope yes. I really hate these "resurrecting the villains" stories. The reborn Palpatine stories were probably the lamest of the EU, save only stories made for quick cash (like Jedi Academy, I apologize if I offended anyone). For the starters, she isn't a guy . (Well, maybe he is, we'll never know.) If you look into her .utc file, you will notice the game treats her as a darksider during all your encounters with her. Besides, Kreia repeatenedly stated that Atris was already corrupt before you met her on Telos, and she, Kreia, simply stripped away her image of a good-intending Jedi, the image Atris herself constructed and believed in. We don't know. We only know she will take Atris' role as a historian, but from what we know, the new Jedi could reside on Dantooine or even Coruscant. I doubt Brianna will want to return to Telos, of which she has such dark memories. Hidden from my eyes, Visas' ways are. Visit Katarr she will, finally see what meant to see she was, she will. Besides that, know I do not. However, that ultimately a Jedi become she will, I think. Well, not totally new... I think it will differ from both previous games like the second game differed from the first. Honestly, how many of you expected that its story would be so loosely tied to the Revan vs. Malak story? For this reason, I doubt we'll see much of Revan and Exile and the Unknown Regions. And I don't really want to see much. I want to see the development of a new strong personality.
  7. If that would be a pleasure to you, perhaps you should download the Lonna Vash Mod?
  8. So, why not have some sort of a trivia game where forum visitors can test their knowledge of KOTOR games? Here's the first question: Which planet did the Ebon Hawk registry come from? Answer: Was this one easy or not? Feel free to add questions.
  9. I'm certain Obsidian will make the new character as interesting as the first two. And I want the appearances of the Unknown Regions reduced to a bare minimum. Maybe somewhere in the very final, like Malachor, when most of the plot lines already come to a logical end. The majority of action should be seen in a familiar place, namely the Republic.And please, no romance at this time. The PCs are Jedi or what? Keep lucid dreaming . And please spell Bastila properly...
  10. Whoever these dead people were, they were not from Revan's first party. When Revan left the Ebon Hawk on Malachor for Kreia to pick it later, only the two droids were onboard.
  11. No, he didn't. Just seeing the degradation of remote worlds under Imperial reign (and not only remote worlds, but even as non-remote ones as, say, , I dare not say he granted the Empire prosperity. Neither did he grant it peace; instead, he granted it both the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. Not to mention endless conflicts between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant after Endor. Although this was certainly not how Lucas wanted it, perhaps he just wanted the heroes to live happily ever after... Palpatine is an epitome of pure evil. There's nothing good that can be said about him. Period. Even Malak is not as evil, he deserves some compassion and is, to some extent, a tragic figure.
  12. In Lucasfilm's interpretation of the word, it does. Comics are as canonical as the rest of the EU, unless it is explicitely said otherwise (like Star Wars Tales #1-20, which were non-canon; however, Tales #24, which featured Nihilus and Visas, was canonical).
  13. If there were no more mentions of M4-78 other than in KOTOR II cut content, the planet's existence wouldn't be considered canon.
  14. I don't know if it was mentioned, but Star Wars Insider #83 elevated M4-78 from cut content status to canon (source). So technically, M4-78 exists, even though the Exile never visited it.
  15. Well, I think they deserved death, but not so unexpectedly, not under such circumstances... And Vash didn't. Not only didn't she deserve death, she didn't deserve being killed by the developers because of time constraints.There is also one who lives (in the light side story), but deserves death. Although perhaps letting her live was a punishment worse than death...
  16. Well, if you take only the first game as canon, then Revan and Malak were still Jedi when fighting in the Mandalorian Wars and fell to the dark side later. However, even with both games taken into account, I'm not certain about the "Revan knew about the Trayus Academy" thing, since it comes from LucasArts' KOTOR Chronicles, which seem to contradict the second game.
  17. The Mandalorian Wars ended in 3,960 BBY, while Revan and Malak found the Star Forge and claimed themselves Sith Lords a year later, in 3,959 BBY. However, Revan knew about the Trayus Academy on Malachor during the Mandalorian Wars and, studying the Sith lore, was already on the path to the dark side.
  18. I think Revan already wore the mask as a Jedi. At least he... no, it was she... does so in my fanfic. Remember, Carth and Canderous served in the Mandalorian Wars, so they would surely recognize the KOTOR PC as Revan. (Well, maybe Canderous does, but I doubt it.) Is it that hard to assume that her lightsaber was taken away by the Peragus miners who put her in the morgue?
  19. Visas is hotter. (Maybe organize yet another poll? Although of course Bastila will be the winner...) Interestingly, in a similar poll on a Russian KOTOR forum Visas turned to be the most favorite... However, I voted for Mical because he's, basically, a male Visas , although not as developed. And because everyone seems to hate and taunt him. (Unlike G0-T0, he didn't deserve that.)
  20. All right, we all know that the Jedi Masters were mostly arrogant, annoying etc. But did all of them deserve death, be it on Katarr, Korriban, or Dantooine? Who do you sympathize most?
  21. Well, 18 is a child, indeed. Way to go. By the way, repetitiveness is common in SW (just remember the Death Star, Droid Control Ship and Star Forge), and the second game has less of it than the first. Actually, it includes just the Jedi purge, which is forgettable.
  22. I think I understand what he's talking about, but overall, you are entitled to your opinion. (I don't even ask anyone to stop calling something nonsensical if they don't understand it.) For me, the story made perfect sense, was unusual and unexpected. At least it wasn't a fairy tale about a Humble Hero saving the galaxy from an Evil Overlord that controls an Ancient Uber Artifact. And I disagree that Exile's decisions didn't change much. Basically, although you never specifically aim to save or destroy the Republic (and it's good! you are just trying to understand what's going on...), you end up either strengthening it or dooming it to collapse. Not to mention preparing the future core of the restored Jedi Order.
  23. I think it's way better. Deeper, at least. Although of course, my voice drowns in the chorus of voices that despise this storytelling approach...
  24. I don't know if this one has been addressed, but: The Exile's motivation is not saving the galaxy. It is survival, redemption, reclaiming his lost connection to the Force, finding answers to his uniqueness. Not to mention that most of the things he does, he does because he has no other choice.
