  1. I thought this was the subforum for the Lore and Story discussion? I guess it's the subforum for General Discussion?
  2. Which is why you focus more on it being an RP aspect of the storyline. Not something that will actually happen.
  3. I can settle for third best. Second best being Jaece (Jace?).
  4. When I say 'easily' I more mean in the fact it was just a group of four that took him down... admittedly with a space station helping as well. Considering he was an iconic figure for -this- game (unlike Revan's iconic image of KOTOR). That he was defeated, and I'm chalking that up to being almost as bad as killed, so early on the game is a bit disheartening. Yes, he does have room to return... but I'd have at least liked to have gone toe-to-toe with Satele Shan as well, even if she performs the miraculous escape at the last second.
  5. I'd wonder why the man Samuel L. is waving a lightsaber at just aged 50 years first...
  6. It's basically the SW equivalent for the Republic in story quality.
  7. This is pretty damn close, actually. A while ago I was noticing hugely glaring plot holes in quite a few movies/books/etc. So I decided to see if I could look up reasons why, and to put it simply Yoda had a vision of the future and that he wasn't supposed to defeat the Emperor now... even though he could have defeated Sidious, it mentioned him being one of the few who could defeat Sidious in a straight up fight IIRC. So basically, Yoda could have killed Sidious. Anakin would have died on Mustafar. The surviving Jedi could congregate and replenish their numbers. No immediate threats from the Sith, only have to worry about an army of killer clones who have lost their immediate forms of direction... Heck, probably could have even exposed Palpatine as a Sith Lord and gotten the Jedi Order cleared of all that hate... But instead, plot hole happens and Yoda goes to Dagobah. He allows the entirety of the galaxy to be plunged into totalitarian rule and a living hell for pretty much everyone not directly working in the Imperial Military.
  8. You count Malgus as a stabilizing individual?
  9. It's probably the fact that Malgus was so powerful, that he was defeated (not killed) quite easily and early. Whereas Shan has so far survived and never even been encountered in a boss fight by the Empire... yes I get to mock her during Black Talon, but it isn't satisfying!
  10. ... Why can't it be live action? ... I... I'm sure that they used CGI with live action in episodes 1-3...
  11. He's a 'Duty before death' type of person. Basically, he'll put himself before the firing squad to save someone if duty and loyalty demand it. As it's said in the codex, Quinn is notorious for his sense of duty to higher ups. Baras was a major part in Quinn's advancement and military life, he had a sense of duty to Baras and needed to reconcile this sense of duty and honor with the fact he has become more bound to the Wrath over the course of the storyline. So, he will more than likely do whatever he can to help our character until the Wrath eventually decides Quinn is now a resource that has dried up.
  12. Maul was an Assassin. He was described as an Assassin. Obi-wan was a Guardian. We know this from his fighting style. Yoda was a Sage. We know this from his mastery of the Force and use of it over his lightsaber. Yes, it can be argued they span multiple classes, but there is one class that each fits into more snugly and fully.
  13. Actually, Maul could use Force Lightning, was immune to Force Lightning to a degree, and was rather stealthy. If he was an 'angry, angry warrior' he wouldn't have been stealthily hunting down his targets, he would have been carving apart anything and everything he came across and would have been pinpointed in under three minutes. OT: I hate having my saber drawn for Force Lightning, as said, it looks completely awkward. I guess the Devs wanted it to look like more than just a stat-stick... but at the end of the day it's still just a stat-stick, just one that makes an animation look hideous.
  14. So, you think a female character should be sexually repressed and unwilling to have sex ever? -Now- who's being misogynistic? There are multiple levels of misogyny that are present in writing, in life. You've displayed an excellent vision of misogyny that is rarely called upon, and that is the use of defending it but offering up an incorrect view on top of that. A strong female character doesn't have to be independent, never giving into flirts, etc. That is seen as an ideal vision by many claiming for strong characters, but that's really only one example. Going to break it down to show you why. Vette: I haven't seen dialogue with her if the collar is left on, but without the collar her dialogue has been interesting. She knows your character is a Sith Lord, and yet she continues with the witticism, sarcastic remarks, etc. She's challenging your Sith, even though while playfully, as if she doesn't care that she could get Force Choked for no reason. So we have a female character who is witty, sarcastic, young (I think she's only... 18?), unafraid to challenge authority and unafraid of the outcome. But she's weak because she's a slave? Then the Sith Inquisitor is weak for being a former slave! Khem Val is weak because he refers to himself repeatedly as a slave! And I think we can all agree Khem Val is by no means 'weak'. Thana Vesh: I'm not really sure where you stood with her... but suffice to say, her incompetence wasn't because she's a woman. Her Master even explains that it had to do with the fact she was too headstrong and willful. To put it simply, she was very powerful but she overestimated her power. She was captured and defeated so many times for the sheer fact she believed she could do things she wasn't ready to do. But hell, it shows a level of skill on her part for the fact she managed to escape her cell after I left her there in a 'time-out'. Jaesa: So a woman isn't allowed to have sexual appetites that have her experiencing new feelings and forms of pleasure she had been formerly not been allowed to experience? She can't be willing to serve her Master faithfully by actually caring about their well being and knowing that it is more important for them to live than her? By the time we're on Voss, Jaesa realizes that she is second fiddle to the Wrath. She knows that she is important to the Wrath for her power, but that overall it is the Wrath who is the most important person amongst the group. So she gives of herself willingly to allow the Wrath to live longer, naturally, to fulfill the more important duties in the galaxy. Lachriss: It's comments from -players-. That's an argument killer there.
  15. *Sigh* No, no... no just, you're wrong. Think about it, THINK HARD ON THIS. Quinn has seen everything we've killed in all our variety of ways. Deception, brutality, ruthlessness, etc. He's been there, according to him, and seen all that we've done and accomplished. I don't think a brain-dead gungan would be able to claim that -two droids and an officer- would be able to take down our character. The fact he goes through with that foolish plan speaks volumes of actual loyalty, you just have to read between the lines and see it. As another poster pointed out as well, having Jaesa with you indicates she feels nothing but confidence emanating from Quinn. But confidence in -what?- It's never explained why he feels confident, he could have felt confident the droids would fail in their task. Putting on the grand show to reconcile with his own senses of loyalty and honor and duty. Or: C) Quinn is in fact smart enough to realize that him siding with Baras is putting him on the losing side. So he gives a token show of betrayal and then has a free enough conscience to remain an ally of the Warrior, fully expecting a death at the Warrior's hands at some point in the future when his usefulness has run out. Yep! But in seriousness, I didn't -just- quote the part about namecalling. Go back and reread your entire post and think about what my post would be in reference to in your post.
