  1. Bioware is ramping up their image as the months progress towards November / December. Don't want to have a "broken" product once the next movie hits theaters and the influx of new F2P and subs floods the game. It's still commendable and I'm glad that BW is taking the efforts to make the game better.
  2. Korriban was as it was known Pre-Clone Wars. Istanbul was once Constantinople. New York was once New Amsterdam. Beijing = Peking It happens in our world too. So the Sith of TOR era know it as Korriban. The Jedi Council of Yoda's time know it as Moraband.
  3. I named my Pureblood Inquisitor after a Thelemic god. I kept the naming convention of Thelemite gods or Egyptian pantheon with my legacy.
  4. To further your statement I would say that Vitiate rules his Empire similar to Rome. Where the Empire consists of various lords and other nobles vying for power, controlling power over their own planets or smaller population clusters while a central authority and a "Senate" / Dark Council makes the laws of the Empire and is seen as a "high authority" to be obeyed. The Emperor as like Rome, is more of a god. A god who is not seen and is only rumored to exist but propaganda exists to make the subjects believe he is very much alive. The Dark Council acts as the Will of the Emperor where any command they give is seen as coming directly from the Emperor himself much like the Roman Senate passed down laws. There will always be infighting, conspiracies and plots against rival lords or domains as there were in Roman times. The military in turn, enforces the absolute rule of the Emperor by conquest of disputed worlds or oppression of rebellious worlds. Palpatine, on the other hand, ruled his Empire in a way as Hitler ruled Germany. Large public gatherings of propaganda conceived by COMPNOR {Nuremburg Rallies}, authoritarian theocratic rule of a common ideology, creating the idea of a common enemy contrived on the heels of a war meant to divide the galaxy and encourage the people against the common enemy in a means of pure hatred by staging terror attacks in the enemy's name or assassination plots (Jedi attack on Palpatine / Reichstag fire). The removal of the parliamentary branch of government with a series of appointed officers in their place to rule over the subject planets (Enabling Act when Hitler assumed complete control).
  5. Darth Malgus is dead. Long live the Dread Masters
  6. Vitiate summed up the belief system of the Sith pretty clearly: "You are mine. Servants. Slaves. Weapons. And you will obey.": Take the weak and exploit them for your purpose. Nietzschean in it's own right. All my toons, BTW, are characters based on Thelemic principles
  7. I wouldn't say the Sith are evil, per se. The Sith adhere to a freedom of choice, a freedom of will. Their belief system seems to me at least, a hybrid of Nietzschean philosophy sprinkled in with a bit of Thelema. For those unfamiliar with Thelema, it was a magick system and belief created by Aliester Crowley around the turn of the last century. Two of it's more famous followers were Jack Parsons (NASA) and L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology). Thelema teaches the Zealotor to achieve their True Will (whichever that may be). In so doing, the zealotor is free to do how they may please to achieve that Will so long as that Will is achieved not to the expense of another's Will. Those who do not adhere to their Will as provided by G-d, or those who are seen as weakened or unable to complete their Will are considered unworthy of enlightenment and thus to their peers and their teachers are "fluffled out" so to speak and their abilities and purpose to be disregarded as anything but wishful thinking. As well, the Sith believe in the destruction of the weak, to remove those who are not strong enough or use them to your advantage to place you in positions of better power or prestige at their expense. As such, Thelema also shows that those who are weak are to be "destroyed" in the figurative sense since killing someone is seen as a crime in most nations. Humility or some other method is employed in this case to test the weak. Should they fail, they are forever shunned. To regard Nietzsche in the fact that he taught that weak individuals are there to provide justification to the strong. Without the weak, the strong can not survive as the weak exist only to be exploited by those of power and authority. He dubbed this Master-Slave mentality. The slave will forever be subservient to the master and when the slave rises up to test the Master, it is up to the Master to bring them back down either socially, politically, economically, militarily, etc, etc. If the Master fails, he becomes the Slave or is removed from the picture entirely and the social structure realigns to the new Master.
  8. That's because she is a woman - she likes nice choices and expects to be given many gifts. Fickle little minx.
  9. I've completed quite a number of quests, including the Balmorra bonus series and Dark Side Tier 2, but none of the titles associated with those achievements are presented to my character in the character sheet. What gives?
  10. You know how I know you don't know what you're talking about?
  11. EVGA 560 TI with 2GB and all effects maxed out. Dropped below 50fps in high pop areas a few times, but everywhere else wasn't too bad.
