AshlaBoga Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So I just finished my BH's romance arc with Mako (until 2.0 comes out anyway) and discovered she was a clone. I suspected this since back on Dromund Kaas when we were attacked by 2 Mako lookalikes but was willing to just accepted the idea of Mako being a quadruplet. After we discover that Mako is one of a dozen (duodecaplets) I really fairly certain that she was a clone - even in Star Wars 12 identical twins is unlikely. When Coral confirmed it in Act 3 I was really hoping the twist would be that Coral was actually a clone and that Mako was the one and only original. Really, I was almost certain they'd reveal this when I spared Coral (or killed her if DS) but... NOTHING. What did you guys/gals think of the whole "Mako is a clone" thing?

erei Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 According to Coral, Mako is a clone, and Coral the original. But it may be wrong, Coral is kind of psycho and a liar.Anyway, I feel it lack of closure. Why clones ? SIS work ? What happen to Mako ? How many still alive/at large ? Is she some sleeping agent and will go rampage on the ship ?And about the romance, there is like 2 conversations once done, one for "oh we are alone in the ship" and the next is "let's have a wedding !". That's a bit short. No kid talk, nothing. And once the romance is done, you have the generic "you're great" conversation, which mean you marry first, then she say you are "an OK guy".

In regards to how many are still alive/at large I completely missed the possibility of that because I just excepted Mako's (quite possibly erroneous conclusion) that she and Coral were the last ones. Clearly they were they were last ones who's DNA Certificates were on file with the SIS, that doesn't mean there aren't more of them. I can't believe I didn't consider this before, good catch Erei!

AshlaBoga Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Okay, I'd really like some more people to give me their opinions here so... *shameless BUMP* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorinHyvek Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I suspect the reason Mako's storyline has such a vague ending is because the developers already had plans for what was going to happen in the next story patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarvong Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I HOPE MAKO IS NOT A CLONE because it doesnt feel right to have her as a clone so people of SWTOR plz don't have mako as a clone in the future of the game PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pubsam Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yeah, she's obviously a clone. I'm not sure whether it's even important if she's the 'original' or clone #12, seems like the whole batch was some bizarre experiment. What's weird is how oblivious Mako seemed about the whole thing. After dealing with Coral she's like, 'Wow! What was Coral talking about being the original and I'm a copy!" And my BH was just like, "...um, don't think about it. She was just being crazy! Let's go now!" I was expecting there to be another conversation with that SIS guy (who said he needed to talk to Mako) where we'd learn just who/what she is, why she was made, and most importantly, is the SIS going to try to take her back since she probably has some secrets locked in that cyberbrain. I've finished the conversation arcs for a number of companions, can't think of one that has such an open ending as this. Poor Mako. Discovering she's a clone should be the final straw to break the the perky, naivete out of her. Unless that perkiness was cloned right in there or something.

Sorry, bro. She's a clone. Deal. But seriously, it doesn't make her any less of a person. She was part of an SIS cloning experiment. I would, however, like some more backstory on the experiment itself, and how she ended up on the mean streets of Nar Shaddaa in the first place. Something having to do with Coral, is all we've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling there is more to come in Mako's story, tbh. Just a hunch I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellbirdIV Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I hope she is a clone. That might lead to some interesting characterization, and allow the player character to take a stance on wether or not clones are as good as the real thing. It'd be kind of lame if Mako turned out to be the "real" one, wasted opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStarkillr Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) It is quite possible that Mako is indeed a clone. Remember, she's in a universe with a planet that can create tens of thousands of clones, and seeing how Kamino wasn't removed from the galactic republic's databanks until just prior to the prequel trilogy, it's just as plausible for the republic to be conducting experiments on said planet. With that in mind, is it bad if she was a clone? My answer: HELL NO! It wouldn't make her any less of a person. After all, as we all know, there was a man who was born a clone who grew up to become one of the most recognized and most powerful bounty hunters to grace the galaxy.

Kyriosgundam Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have a question: When on Dromund Kaas are you attacked by Mako look alikes? Is that after you have been to Dromund Kaas the first time before you head off to Balmorra or when your in the lvl 30's (my BH is only level 17 so havent played much of the BH story yet). However I think it will be interesting to see how the character develops if they have Mako as a clone and not the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsarvong Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Actually Mako may not be a clone because if u look back she said she found her birth certificate while poking around in Classified Republic Databases so she may not be a clone Edited January 31, 2013 by Tsarvong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Actually Mako may not be a clone because if u look back she said she found her birth certificate while poking around in Classified Republic Databases so she may not be a clone Also could of been a fogery, or they made one up when they created her. In the end however, I don't think it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiRaphElan Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 *taps old thread to wake it up* Hey, so with the possibility of only planetary quests from hereon out, what's your take on Mako after a few months of silence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xakthul Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My feelings were more like "She's a CYLON!" but that may just be my geekiness ^^ I saw Coral and literally said "Frakking Toasters...." But Mako is like that one sleeper who kills off her internal "sleeper" personality. She's a pretty well done romance, IMO. I like romancing her much better than romancing Torian with my Fem. I made a new BH just for the romance story.....and to troll people... BEHOLD P'SY, GRAND CHAMPION OF THE GREAT HUNT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Mako is a Cylon. She's the equivalent of Sharon Agathon, while Coral is Sharon Valerii. You read it here first. On a more serious note, I honestly thought of this when I first finished her companion storyline. Edited October 25, 2013 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
