menofhorror Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 ...is soo stiff. He is only there for the mission. I don´t know but he can`t take a breather. even Lana is more relaxed and too often when coming from the mission instead of taking a breather, some jokes, it`s already onto the next goal. This is what I don`t like that much about 3.0 story. There is no time to breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimasterjac Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That's... kind of the point. An army of insane rebels is pressing in and could destroy the Empire, the Republic, and most life in the galaxy in a matter of days. It's meant to convey a sense of urgency.

But they didn´t know what the Revanites were planning at first before Blood Hunt flashpoint. On rep side Lana said when I return that we should have a party for achieving the goal. But I came back and nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimasterjac Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 You still had urgency. You knew the Revanites were up to war and you had to stop them, even before you knew the fate of the galaxy was at stake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menofhorror Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 They still could have thrown some more relaxing moments in there. There was enough humour included in the first part of the planet. I mean I get what you say and yes it`s true but it still felt often too hectic for me. Not enough time spent talking to Lana and Theron about them and how they spent the time in hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Theron got terrible to non-existent character development for this expansion. I got to the end of it feeling completely indifferent or numb towards the character. Jakarro on the other hand -- and Lana especially -- grew on me. For of all his flaws, Jakarro does seem to care greatly with the people he came to work with. Lana on the other hand, regrets having thrown his Republic ally to the wolves. Theron is just a whiner with mother issues and on top of that, Force-blind. Kinda makes me wish they had created a new character from scratch, instead of ruining a great one from the EU. His VA didn't help at all quite frankly; I'm a fan of Troy Baker, but Zenith came rearing his lekku more often than not.

He only spoke about the mission and how I should take care of himself. He never received any moments for himself. At first I liked him but everytime I came back from a mission he grew more and more uninteresting. He never spoke of something else, always about the mission, never had a break.

Darkelefantos Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well what's the point in having characters that always do the same thing? Theron has to contrast Lana, otherwise there's little sense to his character being in the story. Especially after being captured by the Revanites, him urging you to gogogo makes perfect sense. Also nevermind the fact that the great evil threatening both Republic and Empire is his ancestor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremsau Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I felt like the expansion progressed similar to the Old Republic novels (or as much, most modern action) with a, "We're done here. Quick! On to the next task before utter annihilation." That being said, Theron had story. He's a Shan. A Direct descendent of Revan and his focus is on the mission? It is very true that that's been his nature with his mother...but even there, how can you leave a moment so dry? I looked to SoR for multiple story resolutions and got an MMO expansion. My err. I can only hope Satele outlives Theron, as I appreciate her character in TOR much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I swear that throughout the entire expansion, Satele only notices Theron's assistance twice. Since the threat we were facing was THEIR ancestor. I was expecting the two to have some development as a family.....me dissappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremsau Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 He is barely acquainted with his mother, why would he give a **** about about his distant ancestor? The relationship between him and his mother was always strained by Satele's stepping aside in the parental role. They're adults now, I think some additional closure is in order. Regardless of that situation, the fact that Revan is both LS/DS I'd think appeals to Theron. Being he's a 'get stuff done' kinda guy, and Revan is an exemplary model of the same. Albeit, it isn't Revan...but to me the player shouldn't have been in the 'spotlight' when Theron was on the stage (with his relatives) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomtomgo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) there's actually a cutscene when you get the chance to talk about his feelings towards his mom, that she always kept distance with him or something like that, can't remember completely Edited December 15, 2014 by Thomtomgo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
