Rasen Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Excellent excellent post. I'm very excited to see where the story goes from here. Everything is being setup beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luniara Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It pleases me to see an update on storylines such as this. It gives us an idea as to where we currently stand in the long scheme of things ICly (for those that RP) and what we may be gearing up for. Also, SUPER happy the Empire is gaining some form of figurehead. I feel offing Malgus really hurt the game. You always need the evil and good guy, ya know? Malgus was the poster boy. Now, lets see Marr be what he was! Not very into PvP, but still excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatFrosty Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The Cartel is in shambles. The invasion of Makeb can only be seen as a disastrous failure for Cartel interests, with all resources committed to the campaign lost and almost nothing gained. Many elements of the Cartel that weren’t directly absorbed into the Republic by force are continuing to operate, but with almost no direct cooperation or coordination beyond the continued use of the “Cartel” name. It seems unlikely that the Cartel will return to its position of prominence in the galactic underworld for some time. And yet the galaxy observes the continued expansion of the prodigious Cartel Market, curious... Edited April 7, 2014 by TheGreatFrosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZirusZero Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The Republic’s production capacities (particularly foodstuffs, energy, and war materiel) Typo right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CmdrShpd Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Typo right there. I thought the same thing, so I googled it. It's not actually a typo at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionHalcyon Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Too bad we haven't gotten this much story in the actual game itself since Makeb, at least from a quester's standpoint. Edited April 7, 2014 by ZionHalcyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebergy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I love when Bioware does stuff like this, great touch. Too bad we haven't gotten this much story in the actual game itself since Makeb, at least from a quester's standpoint. Ugh, all of this stuff is in game, are you being purposely contrary or are you really this dense? Edited April 7, 2014 by Icebergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I like the 'in-character' approach of posts like this. The post itself points to an unknown party that's careful enough to foil the Shroud and remain hidden. A force, in his own words, that isn't one of the usual suspects. With the return of Mr. Freed to story writing duties, I have to wonder if the SC is truly gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakugo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nice to see where we stand, and someone needs to shut up this shroud guy, his ego is rubbing me off in the wrong ways lol... but seeing this figure pop up constantly now and then, i figure he will have a Op or FP coming up soon. and ooooh yeah Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow.

Alec_Fortescue Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Shroud forgot to mention that the Jedi are still missing their traditional robes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 and then there's the possibility of WX being alive still. Oh, and I like how they're giving us an in-game heads up on the state of things regarding both heads of state. Marr is ruthless, efficient and completely without ambition for the Emperor's throne. An excellent war-time leader, so I foresee something bad happening to him. Sad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtBombshell Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Interesting. For the first time in a while, we are given the impression that the Empire has the upper hand, and not the Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelefantos Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm confused. Wasn't Shroud killed? Long story short: No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unibek Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Shroud forgot to mention that the Jedi are still missing their traditional robes. This is true. It is clear that this can only lead to one conclusion. This is not the real Shroud! He is a fake! An imposter! The real Shroud would have added it to that transmission! So maybe The Shroud really is dead? Edited April 7, 2014 by Unibek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excise Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Very good post. I often complain that the overall storyline of what's going on in the Galaxy is barren and vague, but this is a superb counterexample. I'd be thrilled to see this kind of exposition in-game as well.

That is truely possibly there are also evidence to point to the revanites as potential culprits of these unknown parites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBlackJack Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm confused. Wasn't Shroud killed? No as it's pointed out at the end of the macrobinocular questline that he is most in fact alive The shroud places a clone of himself in the facility, he escapes and takes the data you/your party stole form him (or killed the person running your operation if you choose not to give him the data).
