In Kotor 3, Who should be in power?

[vaxen83]

K3 might follow up from where G0T0's predictions about internal collapse of Republic left off in second game, except that it probably would help to have it at least five years after K2's events.

How so? I'm curious as to know why you think it would 'help' if KOTOR III takes place approximately five years after the events of KOTOR II. If you go by GO-TO, he claims that in a few standard months (after the events of KOTOR II) the Republic would collapse.

K3 could consider an aftermath of the Republic's collapse. It could be that whatever scheme the Sith are executing, part of it might take place within 3-5 years in an aftermath rather than Sith holding an immediate invasion just at the same time the Republic collapses. (Anti-climatic in terms of story) If we are going to consider that K3 take place immediately a few months, story might sound a bit rushed.

 

There might be a few years gap between K2 and K3, events of which happened are revealed only generally to a character. Rest of what happened within this period can subsequently be narrated through other party members the PC meets later in game.

Unicron should hold the power of the galaxy.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't want the story of KOTOR III to take place only a few months after the events of KOTOR II either, your right, it is too anti-climatic in terms of story, however, IMO, five years is too long.

 

Three years after the events of KOTOR II is a good time for the story of KOTOR III to take place IMO, but then of course, you have to create a reason why the 'True Sith' during the gap of the ending of KOTOR II and the beginning of KOTOR III haven't attacked the Republic/Jedi/Sith in chartered space when they are clearly in a weak, vulnerable state at the end of the events of KOTOR II, but when you look at the 'civil war amongst the 'True Sith' in the unknown regions' idea started by Jediphile, a theory which I strongly support and hope the devs of KOTOR III (if there is one) go for, then that explains not only why at the beginning of the events of KOTOR III, the 'True Sith' haven't attacked, but also why they never attacked after the Jedi Civil War when the Republic/Jedi (LS Revan) or Revan's Sith Armada (DS Revan) were in a weak, vulnerable state.

 

I would usually explain this theory to you (if you haven't heard it already) in more detail and explain why it's a good theory and makes sense (considering what we learn about Revan in KOTOR II) but I typed a marathon long post just recently and don't feel like typing another book length post. There's also the risk of the devs of KOTOR III (if there is one) not using the idea because it's been posted on these forums. But it's highly unlikely that they'd look at these forums anyway, which IMO, is a good thing.

A few years maybe, less than five.

 

Think I saw a post about that theory, so no need for specifics. And a reasonable one it is, actually.

I don't think that either one should be in power. i think that they should both be struggling to regain their power so that when you make your choice to the darkside or light you become a deciding factor for the struggle. I also think this would make for a richer story and plot.

 

This power struggle would also allow alternate groups to rise,{Possibly a grey jedi group who basically believe in using the force as kriea did.}
