It's such fun to play... Convert to Hundu! Convert to Confuscianism! Convert to Christianity! Change to Democracy. Change to Slavery! Emancipation! Free Market! Freedom of the Press!

The game would be almost impossible to playthrough LS then. And also, most of the people you kill are your enemies, who need to be brought to justice. Hence, a Jedi. You may be the judge and jury, but executioner as well? That seems a bit too evil. In K1 during your initiation for Jedi there's a similar judge/jury role, but the perpetrator is returned to the enclave. Combined with @metadigitals idea a la "Bloodlines" (exp for quests only, even though there is plenty of combat to be had if you so desirre) and my idea about more enemies yielding, the LS jedi could be about returning those offenders to court for trial...but in any case: killing enemies at an alarming rate, that's just too much bloodshed for a LS I think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It IS evil. Even in the frontierland of the Wild West of the USA post Civil War, it was encumbent upon the Marshals to bring evil-doers back to justice under a judge (viz. the eminent historical exegesis Hang 'Em High"). Taking this idea further, non-lethal combat could actually become a feature: deciding to disarm an opponent rather than to kill would be a (reversible) decision taken prior to combat: difficulty would necessarily be increased (it's a lot easier to lop someone's head off than to knock them out); success would mean that the bad guy(s) are incapacitated; choosing to change from non-lethal to normal combat would have no deleterious affect on the battle, but it would mean DS points when the opponent(s) were killed.

That's abominably barbaric and inhuman! Or did you mean non-human?:D

Well, Mr Lucas plagerised the idea of the Force from the Taoists, so it should work! (The SW story he plagerised from E.E. Doc Smith's classic SF Lensman series. q.v. reference one; reference two; reference three)

You bin Diplomacied AGAIN!

OR you could use the original Chinese Taoist word Qi ( traditional: 齊, simplified: 齐; noun : the circulating life energy that in Chinese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional Chinese medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health), in the same way that Renaissance scholars went back to original classical sources to minimise the errors due to cumulative transliterations. This is what Socrates referred to as the Fifth Essence (quintessence). Do either of those words have a better Swedish equivalent?

I thought Trill was bird seed.

What if I dream that you're going to be late?

BTW: Welcome back Hooha. (I don't believe I recorded my salutation, earlier.)

I have been flying a lot in my recent dreams (that I have been dreaming since 1975). What be stranger

De-couple opponent death from experience progression, so that the game does not become an endless series of combats.

I didn't know they came in that flavour ...

I thought the game had been decided in favour of the mighty Italians ...

Do you often have old friends for dinner?

That Breloom looks like she's heading for Ascot, for Ladies Day at the races ...

"Goths have sick humour."

I fell asleep and had a dream about living my life. That was in 1975. I haven't woken up yet ...

Dunno. Does it sound like a female screaming in Icelandic, backwards, whilst being evicerated as she falls into a giant Rolls Royce aeroplane engine? If so, then yes ...

Looks like an electrofied cross between a wombat and a rabbit ...

... served with fava beans and cianti?

Indeedy. What is your avatar? Or, more precisely, what is your avatar's final form?

I wish all these voices in the simulation that is my head would STOP SHOUTING AT ME.

Like an Optimus Prime with flashing bejeweled eyes (made from someone) ...

I want plots that cannot be summed up easily, so that those who need a "canon" dogmatic interpretation must lose out.

Espeon hasn't done much. Must be the reason for the feline likeness ...
