Hmmm I'm fascinated by Zakuul, I'd love to focus on them I've been watching Empire vs. Republic since I was four, I'm totally fine with wondering off in a different direction. Not a common sentiment from what I can tell What would be really amazing (To me) is if it broke off into different routes again but based on affiliation/ Faction rather than class (Would still be nice to have some variation for class). Most likely never going to happen but still I'm allowed to dream .

If Disney will Force Choke EA, save SWTOR from their hands, shower the game with money and hire a lot of talented people Sure!

I would be happy if we had a small class quest in each expansion like the ones on Rishi.

In DAI, such a system did not work badly. We had advisers and a command room, but the PC did not feel like a puppet and on the secondary roles.
But in the KOTFE/KOTET everything turned out differently. PC just pushed aside, and the main role went to Lana.
At least, I always felt that my character was superfluous.

What I do not understand in any way shape or form is the publicity or the tone of this plea. What happened to private messages? If LS, Theron says that Commander is too soft, – and then they just had to practically beg a man who betrayed them (for real or not, we will see in April I hope) to come back in front of everyone who bothered to watch!

What does it says about the Commander of Eternal Alliance? Strong leader? Can not be manipulated? Will make a levelheaded decision in the difficult situation (like someone holding a certain agent hostage and demanding a 100 of Eternal Fleet ships as ransom)?

After that display, Outlander dating Arcann seems... Not impossible?

Where is a neutral option to not make a public announcement?

Bounty option is no better.


My consular senses what he is doing. Now granted she could be wrong, but she believes that he is no traitor and that he is working undercover for the Alliance. Jedi can sense whether people are bad or good. It's part of the force. I also think that pleading to Theron's sensibilities, "come back Theron, I love you", is the best way to get a man to come back who is obviously in love. My consular met him long before the Alliance. He was her lover, her friend and in love with her and she doesn't doubt that he loves her. My other girls are not going to be so easily persuaded. My hunter will probably end up with Arcann. I'll have to see how that goes because no one betrays her. My smuggler, don't know about her. I think she's still in love with Dharmas and Theron is more a friend. She's not crazy in love with him but if I had to chose a bounty or love speech, I'd go love speech again since I don't see my smuggler going bounty on Theron. Now my hunter, that's a different story.

I don't think it makes the commander look weak. Everyone in the Alliance knows who the commander is sleeping with. That's fairly obvious with how gossip spreads. Do you not think that everyone will know that the commander is sleeping with Arcann? LOL, everyone will know that.

Anyway, my girls would also love to go back to their old lives. They didn't choose to be commander. In fact only one accepted Valkorian's power and she is regretting it. She will never use it again and she will never take the thrown.

Then there's a chance the enemy knows that too, and thus they have something to use against you.

The enemy is whom, the Heralds. Let's look at it this way. 1) The Heralds already know the history of Theron and the commander, common knowledge. 2) There are a lot of military guys who love their spouses/SO and still perform their duties admirably. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you won't carry out your duties to the Alliance.

There is one enemy to the Alliance in the story at present and that is the Heralds. The Sith preach embrace your passions and the Republic has nothing against relationships. The only ones who do are the now defunct jedi order.

Imagine a random Sith Lord watching that broadcast. It will be "Malgus wife is being used against him and he kills her" all over again.

Or that Alderaan general in SW story breaking then her lover is in danger.

Or that Order dude saying to Theron: “Your former lover seems like a trusting sort - lure them into a trap to prove your dedication.”

I lack the dictionary to make coherent point about what favoritism do to morale (English is not my first language).

Loving someone is one thing. Being unable to think about anyone else but the loved one is another.

Yes, but if the Heralds know Theron is your lover, and you become a threat to them, I could see them backstabbing Theron in order to hurt / stop you.

I haven't romanced Theron so I don't really have much opinion over that. As for his reasons, its kinda predictable when he sent that audio of annoying Zildrog guy and my main Outlander is a Sith Lord who sided with Acina. So there's must be a reason why he's doing it other than spouting how corrupt I am. Well, siding with the Sith Empire and taking in Arcann... I'm not surprised people disagreed.

(Not a fan of siding with the Republic anyway.. Sith struggle for their survival but Pubs wanted dominance dressed in idealism.... two sides of the same coin really..)

Anyway, I think DS Arcann does get the same Immortality Ritual as Scourge did.

Quote:
Additionally, the Emperor performed a scientific and alchemical version of the immortality ritual upon Scourge, rendering him immortal as well—but the gift of immortality came with a cost. Scourge would suffer intense and unending pain for the rest of his life, and he would eventually become immune to the pain, sacrificing his emotions, senses, and humanity for power and eternal life
Made sense why his parting words to Valkorion was talking about pain.

And Theron is, I'm sure, aware that he is going to be double crossed and is prepared for it. A good spy/intelligence officer knows that at any time they could be double crossed and is prepared for that eventuality.
