  1. I think you are dead on. Why else did Revan tell Canderous to reunite the clans as LS, and goad Canderous into doing if DS? Why did he/she tell Carth to keep the Republic strong? Because he knew a war was coming, and that the Mandalorians and Republic would need each other to defeat them. Perhaps since Malak ruined Revan's original plans, the Exile has had to step into the gaps, and continue the job Revan started, with the bonds you mentioned....

  2. I take Mandalore, HK, and Handmaiden almost all the time. Occassionally I'll bring along Visas or Hanharr.

     

    HK is just too funny to leave behind, and Mandalore, if you give him two Gamorrean Cleavers is unstoppable. I beat Dxun Pt. 2 virtually single handedly with him. I also bring the handmaiden, because she's tough, and she looks down right sexy when you begin to corrupt her. All that dark lipstick.

  3. i am too good to be a bad guy...i feel too guilty. :(

     

     

    It becomes easy. At first I felt bad killing poor helpless families or selling them into slavery. But it was all justified later when I wanted to buy a medpac or something. Their suffering allowed me to save the galaxy! And that's only so the weak can justify cruelty. I do it because it's easy, makes me money, and is far more entertaining.

  4. Something to the tune of

     

    "Master, I must say I enjoy being in your service. Just when I think that your cruelty can go no further, you come up with some new atrocity and you leave me pondering its ramifications for days. You are like a random cruelty generator. I like you."

     

    "[influence: Failure] Curiously enough master, I seem to have developed a memory gap surrounding that very question, but rest assured you are a fine master, and I would not want to make you feel in adequate simply because my former master might have been very important...."

  5. I go

     

    14 Str

    12 Dex

    12 Con

    14 Int

    12 Wis

    14 Cha

     

    Then I pump all my future points into wisdom and charisma with 2 going to both Str and Con.

     

    My items are then geared to make me stronger more charismatic and more wisdom.

     

    By the end I had a defense of 38, in robes, wielding two sabers both dealing in the range of 86-88. I was beastly.

  6. It's so true about the Dark Side. I used to think that the LS was the way to go, but after playing DS, I can't help myself.

     

    Its so much fun to be needlessly cruel. If I want something, I take it from their corpse, or take it from them, and then kill them. It's so much easier and fulfilling. Yeah, it once felt good to help that poor sod who didn't have money, but it is so much more entertaining and spiritually enjoyable to tell him that you are going to slaughter him, and watch him attempt some pitiful attack upon you. It is very enjoyable indeed.

     

    As for influence, i find its worth it to take the LS hit. Its usually just a minor shift, and if you go out and kill a lady and her kids for having the audacity to beg from you, you'll get it right back......

  7. The problem was the Jedi had no out. I think the true Sith planned it like this.

     

    Action: The Mandalorians attack. They are tougher than the Republic, and will win without Jedi aid.

     

    Reaction 1: Jedi decide to do nothing. Republic is destroyed, Jedi are in impossible position. Without the Republic, they will be defeated, if not by the Mandalorians, than by the true Sith.

     

    Reaction 2: Jedi go to help. Jedi destroy Mandalorians, but might well be forced to make a choice like those that followed Revan, and decide between the Dark Side, death, or cutting oneself off from the Force.

     

    Reaction 3: Some Jedi fight, some Jedi refuse. This creates a split in the order, as those returning from the conflict may well have been required to turn from the light, or even without this, would have nothing but disdain for those who refused to fight against the Mandalorians, those that fought had secured the safety of those who remained behind. If these divisions are serious enough, there will be civil war, and the Jedi will be all but destroyed.

     

     

    In each case, the true Sith win. The Jedi may not have option open to them that allows them victory. The only option that might secure the Jedi's position is Reaction 2, and that is unlikely, given the state of the Jedi Council, and thus, the true Sith need not worry about it.

  8. I did 281 against the Greater Storm Beast. He died.

     

    It was dual wielding, viridian saber doing 4-86 and a silver saber doing 4-88 + Master Fury.

     

    And why would anybody be anything else other than a Sith Marauder?

     

    If you give yourself wisdom and charisma instead of continually jacking up your strength (use items for that), nothing can beat you. I destroyed the Trayus Academy never getting below 3/4 health.

  9. FTL travel is impossible in the conventional sense.

     

    The only way it can work is by theoretically folding time-space, at which point you could go as "fast" as you can possibly imagine, perhaps hundreds of times the speed of light, without ever going more than a few inches per minute......

  10. I liked both the Exile and Revan, but Revan more so than the Exile. The point is that there is only one person I trust to create an ending I am satisfied with, and that is me. After all, this is an RPG. I should get to choose how my players ended up.

     

    Hell, I'd be happy if it was 100 years in the future and I got a little snippet about Revan from an "Atton" device, who says something like, "If I recall correctly, in those years after the Jedi Civil War, Revan disappeared only never to return...." To which you could correct him and say, "Well, that's not what happened. He came back from the Unknown Regions and was reunited with the Jedi Bastila Shan." Or "She returned from the Unknown Regions and was reunited with Admiral Onasi.

  11. Now that I've fulfilled your life, it's on to (insert normally mocked country that won't offend people here, such as France, Canada, etc.)!

     

    The Redemption of Bastila gave me chills. I wrote AT LEAST 5 fanfics about her and Revan's relationship after Kotor I (and I nailed Kotor II's version of these events PERFECTLY in one of them). It was good. I could drag it up and display it if anybodies interested...

     

    Except for the fanfics, I got the same chills. Far better than anything a female Revan had with Carth, though it might be due to my inablity to effectively romance a man......with good reason......

  12. and that implies some greater "force" guiding it.

     

    I think that's the whole idea. The Force creates our destiny because we are tied to it, and that the reason Kreia was obsessed with the Exile was because he was not tied to the Force, and was therefore able to forge his own destiny as he saw fit.

     

    The Death of the Force is symbolic, not literal. For Kreia, the Exile signals the Death of the Force because he is beyond it's control and if he can do it, the suppostition is that everybody can, and thus, the control of the Force would be ended....

  13. I think the most likely scenario is that Revan and the Exile go off into the Unknown Regions to face the real Sith, and inadvertently "wake" them up so to speak, causing some kind of invasion.

     

    So in KOTOR 3, you probably play some new character that responds to this threat.  Both Revan and the Exile at that point would be best served to further the plot, then be playable.  They're both far more imposing as NPCs then as PCs.

     

    Consequently, this is the threat that the Jedi Council saw, which fits into the story perfectly on why Revan shouldn't have gone to fight the Mandalorians to begin with.  By doing so, and finding Malachor V, he/she uncovered the secret behind what got the Mandalorians to start this war to begin with, thus instigating the true threat.

     

     

    Personally, I'd find playing an unknown nobody far more entertaining.  I could carve out my own destiny, instead of riding on someone elses coat-tails as has been the case of KOTOR 1 and 2.

     

    Yeah, the way I saw it, the point of the Mandalorian Wars was to force the Jedi to fight, because either way the True Sith were going to crush them.
