JakRoanin Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I said I'd do it and I did! This thread is for the people who wanted to save the dark princess, and those people who love her just as she is and want her back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaticFringer Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I do have to admit that for a one story fits all classes angle for the game... they should've delivered every possibility at least. Including a Vaylin redemption possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulsutherland Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm still salty over the lack of a Vaylin companion ... in fact I'm so salty, I'm probably the origin of the planet Crait from The Last Jedi. Fear not ... I have a plan ... Sith Voodoo ... we'll do the Ziost healing trance to Zakuul and dump all the 'life' stuff into Vaylin and then we'll go crush the Republic.

MrJunay Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I also subscribe for her return. I hope that the developers will come up with something and hear the requests of her fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodrac Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 She has a better reason for redemption than Arcann IMO but that screeching voice can stay dead and never be heard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrutchCricket Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yes. Also an option to join forces and be the most powerful psychos in teh galaxy. My inquisitor NEEDS this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurj Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think she was the most interesting character in the planned Knights trilogy, and I think we lost a lot of interesting story-telling that would have focused around her. A redemption arc is difficult if the player ends up as the Eternal Commander, but if the storyline includes the possibility of walking away from the throne, it's a whole 'nother ballgame, in my opinion. I think it would have been a great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamephil Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 What I wanted then: The ability to show her compassion, even if she spat it back in my face and forced me to kill her. What I want now: Resurrection, some form of redemption, and a traveling companion. Or just the occasional email notification that she's getting the help she needs, but the companion would be better.

JakRoanin Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 While I think her ending is really the only way they could have gone, and the one where she would be able to find peace, she like Zhorrid broke my heart completely. She was her father's ultimate victim and she will have my compassion, and affection just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulsutherland Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) What I want now: Resurrection, some form of redemption, and a traveling companion. Or just the occasional email notification that she's getting the help she needs, but the companion would be better. Cloning? Sith Voodoo? Belsavis Mother Machine? Plenty of options out there. I suppose as we're going back to Nathema, maybe we'll get lucky ... I doubt it, but you never know. Yes. Also an option to join forces and be the most powerful psychos in teh galaxy. My inquisitor NEEDS this! Yeah! That would have been my ideal ending! Edited February 15, 2018 by Paulsutherland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdharaKyleth Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I feel sorry for her in the trailer, but I don't really like her in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExarSun Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 +1 For possible Vaylin redemption/romance. Not possible probably, but they can just go ahead and make it...since we will be getting a year without any major content we might as well have fun.

Cawyden Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) I wasn't a fan of her voice either, though I do think it suits her. Me too. I do feel sorry about her - I really hoped we could redeem her too. What always confuses me is how she has blond hair in the trailer and later it is brown? I mean I know hair color can change during childhood but why just not give her brown hair in the trailer?

Maybe she died it after Arcann got her back from Nathema? Or it's a side effect of sticking those lumps on her forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah could be dyed right. And as you mentioned it - we still don't know what these "gems" are for right? I mean Senya has them too but no one else on Zakuul if I remember right.

Ralei Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Vaylin and Arcann both were a blight upon this game. From their overbearing voice actors to their Pinky and the Brain style scheming scenes to the writers' stubbornly trying to make us sympathize or even, dare i say it - love them *full body cringes* - and also the way they would each enunciate "FATHER" lmao *gargles phlegm* FAAAATHER ... they are a lesson in how to write characters to inspire hatred. Insipid, screeching, seething, sneering. If there was one redeeming quality to either of them, it was that they were cute kids. btw, you should have specified in the title that "haters keep out." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see it as royalty jewelry - I don't think they have really a functionality only decoration purpose. Like wearing a tiara I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have family that absolutely had that kind of light blonde hair as children but grew up to have dark hair. Well, until it turned white. I've seen the pictures. I also like the idea that she dyed it, though. She didn't want any reminder of being that little girl playing with her mother or brothers in the swamp.

I've seen the pictures. I also like the idea that she dyed it, though. She didn't want any reminder of being that little girl playing with her mother or brothers in the swamp. Same here. A lot of the people in my family have dirty blonde hair as kids which turns to dark brown as they grow older. That video is what gets me every time. This poor, innocent child cursed with power she can't control, betrayed by her mother (at least in her eyes), and tortured by her father. And on the other side, as a parent, the anguish of Senya when she realizes that she is too late and has lost her child already. Two equally compelling points of view that are diametrically opposed. At least for me, *that* is what makes good storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe if we get her back she'll dye it blonde again ... I'm sure Lana has some blonde dye laying around she could donate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
