Alexia Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Indeed, look at the emperor. He had his army and the fear of him kept people in check. Le donne sono da venus, la scopata sa dove sono gli uomini da. For a different kind of Kotor chat
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Heck, Emperor Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) may have even kept it hidden that he was the real Sith Master. Vader always appeared as the Sith Lord. "You shall not pass!"
Alexia Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Palpatine was the real sith lord. He was so powerful he didnt even need a lightsaber. Le donne sono da venus, la scopata sa dove sono gli uomini da. For a different kind of Kotor chat
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Palpatine was the real sith lord. He was so powerful he didnt even need a lightsaber. Yes, that's right. But I don't think most of the Imperials even realized that their Emperor was really an evil Sith Lord. He always kept himself hidden. His attacks were alwys out of the shadows. And whenever possible, blame someone else for you own attacks (ie. Trade Federation, Dooku's Separatists, Clone Army, etc.) "You shall not pass!"
DarthShad Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Palpatine was the real sith lord. He was so powerful he didnt even need a lightsaber. I read somewhere (TheForce.net, TBone, or JediNet), that Palpatine will be wielding a lightsaber on Ep.3 I would love to see that....
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, that would be cool -- a BLACK lightsaber. "You shall not pass!"
DarthShad Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, that would be cool -- a BLACK lightsaber. Doubt it. Sith always wield red sabers....
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Doubt it. Sith always wield red sabers.... That's why a black one would be cool. It's never been done before. "You shall not pass!"
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 That is because it isn't possible. That's right. There's no such thing as black light. It would be cool nonetheless, to see a black lightsaber. "You shall not pass!"
Darth333 Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 That is because it isn't possible. That's right. There's no such thing as black light. It would be cool nonetheless, to see a black lightsaber. Actually it is possible with mods. It has already been done. Starwarsknights.com - Learning to mod - Kotor modding en espa
Alexia Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Blacklight does exist but, its only a term as blacklight is actually floresent blue. Le donne sono da venus, la scopata sa dove sono gli uomini da. For a different kind of Kotor chat
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Blacklight does exist but, its only a term as blacklight is actually floresent blue. Yes, we have one of those in my apartment. It's kind of an indigo color. Never seen an "actual" black light. "You shall not pass!"
Paladin Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 In one of the comic books the Emperor (a clone) is shown with a lightsaber (he beats Luke in a duel) and I believe it is either purple or green.
EnderAndrew Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 The book in question is Dark Empire, which is a fantastic read. It's quite dark. Luke goes over to the Dark Side for a while and devastates the New Republic under the cloned Emperor. The Emperor turns him by saying that Luke would never understand his father, nor the true nature of the Force if he never tasted both sides. So Luke rationializes that if he is to become a Master, he needs a teacher, and if his father could resist the Dark Side to attone himself, that so could he.
Darth_Gandalf Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 That's because Luke has always been rather foolish... "You shall not pass!"
EnderAndrew Posted June 30, 2004 Posted June 30, 2004 Dark Empire was great. It gave us Nar Shadda, Cloned Emperor, E-Wings, a Dark Luke, Force Harmony, Holocrons, World Devastators, Eclipse-Class Destroyers, and mass carnage.
John Morgan Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 Alot of people here have commented on how the Dark Side in KOTOR was poorly handled. Most Dark Siders were just stupid, one-dimensional punks, and most things you were "supposed" to do if you wanted to get Dark Side points consisted of being: -Crazy for no good reason -A wiseass Hardly a "seductive" path to the dark side, or the stuff of bad guys that are supposed to be scary villains. IMHO, this was the big weakness in terms of characterization that KOTOR suffered from. Now, the Obsidian folks have said they are going to make evil more interesting and have more depth. Given the experience with games like Planescape: Torment, I can belive that. This is something I'm really looking forward to. Thinking about it, I think there should be several DIFFERENT "evil/dark side" paths that should be available to you in terms of dialogue/actions. In other words, there should be more than one kind of dark side character type. For instance: -The sadist. This character simply gets off on hurting people for its own sake. Gaining power is gratifying because it makes it possible to manipulate, dominate and control more people. They aren't pissed off, they just like inflicting pain. This is closest to how the PC's DS dialog choices are written, except that in KOTOR your dialog choices for the DS were often simply stupid, which sadists are not. A sadist will act quite nice and "normal" until they have a favorable opportunity to attack a person or group. -The vigilante. This character has a grudge, and will do anything to get payback, and then some. This desire for revenge may be focused on one individual, or an entire race or even society. They are willing to destroy anybody who obstructs their mission in the slightest, and their nihilistic "ends justify the means" outlook leads them to become as bad, or worse, than what they set out to destroy in the first place. In fact, they may completely lose sight of their original motive for revenge as they spiral into the Dark Side. -The tyrant. This character is concerned with the rational, thoughtful, systematic aquisition of power. They will not kill random people for no reason, or act openly crazy or evil. In fact, they don't per se enjoy killing at all. But they have no ethical constraints whatsoever, only their own self-interest in mind, and so will murder or betray anybody that gets in their way or becomes a liability. We are trying to create more dark side options so you don't have to be "psychotic evil". SiO2

It's kind of an indigo color. Never seen an "actual" black light. A blacklight is actually an oxymoron. Light is used to tear threw blackness/darkness, but nonetheless it would be cool to see.
mastaGAW Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 What would be your different types of lightside I can think of 3. Patriot- Believes his country (the Republic) is always right and try hardest to defend it. Redeemer-Believes the darkside is morally wrong and will try to turn the lightside. This person only sees light and dark no shades of grey. Kind- Stays open-minded are tries to help whoever he comes across even if it means stretching to the other side. Then in the middle we have: Undecided- Listens to both sides then decides where he wants to stand depending on the situation (very openminded). The other guy- Doesn't really give a d**m about either side both are two extreme (like Jolee).
