A lot of complaints seem to stem from the fact that our character is said to be a veteran of the Mandalorian wars yet he still starts out as a level 1 Jedi. I've seen many plausible explainations for this and I figured I'd put in my 2 cents on it.

 

The main point of my theory is that the character starts as a level 1 JEDI. What happened in the first game when you're character became a Jedi? You were a level 1-8ish scoundrel/soldier/scout and a level 1 Jedi. Why couldn't this guy have fought in the Mandalorian wars as a scoundrel/soldier/scout and showed a connection to the force. The Jedi trained him and he became a level 1 Jedi. Since he became a Jedi he had to drop all his other training in order to focus on learning the force and using a lightsaber. So for all we know the guy could have been a level 10 soldier but then he was trained and became a level 1 Jedi.

 

Just some speculation.

Huh. :rolleyes:

No.

He was a Jedi who fought in the Mandalorian Wars...but don't you remember them saying he's "out of touch with the force"? I pretty sure that that's the explanation... :rolleyes:

A pretty lame explanation.

Never said it wasn't, just the one that they might use... ;)

Maybe the PC did not know what the level up section did.

I wasn't sure they could see it... ;)

He uses the force to level up.

The time he spent unconscious could add to his weakness.

Conspiracy idea: Maybe either the Jedi, Sith, or Republic brainwashed you, or tested on you... :):lol::p:wacko:

That sounds likely.

a veterin can be any one who served in a war. he could have been a chief.

Maybe he was a POW

yea but i thought mandalorians take the No Prisoners battle cry seriouly!

Eh, if you do not exercise your skills often enough they atrophy, just like your muscles. Since the Player Character has been out of touch for so long I do not see it to be so unrealistic that he/she has slipped down a little.

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

Eh, that would indicate that the Jedi took the PC to training as an adult, which isn't a commonthing. I believe more that the PC was just a lousy Jedi, couldn't focus on how using the force and so on, like Luke in "The Empire Strikes Back".

Could be possible.

I it's think anyone's guess at this point.

I'm starting to think that the MC just said he was a veteran Jedi of the Mandalorian wars because it would look good on his resume.

Those who abandon the force have been shown to weaken in its use, like Kyle Katarn etc.

Yes, but that doesn't mean he lose levels, hit dices, and skill points.

Why not? Isn't the idea that he gets all those hit die and skills from use and practice as well, maybe even through the Force? Skills, such as treat injury, will be connected to Force powers such as Heal, for example, in this sequel. There's obviously a corellation.

You're a shaved wookie at the start.
