Can we take off the hype goggles for a moment?

Listen guys, you can bet your lightsaber I'm as stoked as the rest of you. This looks like the breath of fresh air this game so sorely needed. It was high time we had an expansion that wasn't just "mediocre story+level increase". And don't get me wrong, all props to Bioware/EA for actually giving this game another chance. But can we talk about the list of characters? Their descriptions have got to be the most mary sueish things I've read in a very long time. When I read the blurb for the first time, it had been copy/pasted, and my first thought was "nice try bub, but no self respecting video game company would be that cliche." Guys this is tumblr fanfiction level stuff. I'm not posting the specific descriptions because I like having posting privileges, but I think I can sum up my point nicely by saying that there is literally a character with the title "the dark prince" and an equally pseudo-edgy quote to boot. Now, with the exception of the new character list, I love the direction the game is taking. I just pray to all that is holy that those character blurbs were a rough draft, because right now I am legitimately worried you hired Stephanie Meyer as your lead writer.

Are you telling me Star Wars hasn't been riddled with cliches forever?

Hell, KotOR is quite possibly one of the most cliche storylines to date. Star Wars itself is just a simple copy/paste of the Hero's Journey, which has been around since Homer.

You have no idea how edgy, bad, or cliche the coming content may be - what you do know is that many characters have generic lines, which has been the way in... well, pretty much every piece of fiction to date.

That I'll give you. This just seemed...especially cringey. Even if the characters turn out far better than the fallen empire page implies, what we have now inspires images of the power rangers.

"He will join us, or die."

"You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me."

"You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. "

"You want this, don't you? The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant."

"If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed!"

Do these quotes sound any less cheesy/power ranger-esque?

Honestly, I think you just might be looking for story depth in Alderaan places.

Ur a cheeky boi I'll give u tht m8.
