Adria Teksuni Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Aaaah, gotcha, thanks for the clarification, Dusai. And once again, Adria reveals her total ignorance of the EU. Never assume malice when stupidity is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sirius Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well, just because one magazine says he's an assassin doesn't make it so. It's not like we havn't gotten bad info by the boat load before. Amnesia anyone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive also seen it on a few websites, but you do have a point a good one at that, never believe what you read in the papers people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSAdmiral Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 That's a pretty solid explanation of the difference between Sith Lord and THE Sith Lord. True they can be somewhat strangely named, but I think they are appropriate. Same goes for the Jedi Master, isn't there truly only one Jedi Master? Apparently there are lots in actuality.

Gheralt Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Assassins are supposed to be stealthy, right? What, precisely, is stealthy about someone who has a rotting carcass you can smell from half a mile away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalyst Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I think he is more likely to be the Marauder Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 An assassin is someone who is paid to kill people. They usually utilize stealth because it's illegal to murder people. If Darth Scion is paid to kill people, I guess that makes him an assassin in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sun_Tzu Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I must admit, the "Sith Lord" class does confuse me a bit. Aren't ALL Sith wanting to be the "Lord of the Sith"? I think that's just a bad name for a prestige class, personally, but that's just me. And also agreed that Sion seems a bit too...erm...flashy for an assassin. How can one sneak up on one's prey when the smell of putrid decay surrounds one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Assassins are supposed to be stealthy, right?

Sabahattin Dere Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 An assassin is someone who is paid to kill people. They usually utilize stealth because it's illegal to murder people. If Darth Scion is paid to kill people, I guess that makes him an assassin in a sense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> a 'Darth-something' being paid to kill people sounds quite improbable. I think Sion's farthest association with being an assassin can be that he's the master of some very powerful assassin-apprentices. I can't say that I find the conjecture as to every major Sith Lord being the head of a Sith prestige class appealing at all. First of all it's a very simple association; and assuming that the Sith Lords won't be acting collectively, having fighting armies of different areas of Sith expertise adds a very banal theme into the story. Why would 'Lords' gang up to fight the guild of Marauders who in turn don't like the Assassins-Association? If a 'reason' for that isn't provided in the story, then it will be off-putting --and what could be the reason? Besides, a Sith 'Lord' would be expected to have diverse powers under his command; going only with assasins or Marauders is like entering war with only one type of soldier: Armies of Horsemen only fighting against armies of only Archers --rather boring and odd. A Sith faction consisting only of 'Lords' is absurd to begin with. I believe many Sith that have become powerful in distinct prestige classes will be found serving under each Lord. Zwangvolle Plage!

TSAdmiral Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Assuming that is the case, what classes of Sith do you anticipate they would be? Simple guardians? Obviously not any of the Jedi classes. Or are you saying that they would be their own unique class, such as "Darth" class Sion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabahattin Dere Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well the Lords could have come from any class; all I'm saying is that the idea that 'each Lord will be the commander of one class' is very uninterestinng.

Fardragon Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 The preview said that he led a sect of Sith Assassins, not that he was one. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
