Thu, 05/27/2010 - 20:30

$27.00! THAT AN ARM AND A LEG FOR A 200 PAGE NOVEL!...Im still gonna get it.

Thu, 05/27/2010 - 11:22

Looks like Darth Vader but still is very original. I can't wait to defeat/ally with him in the game AWESOME!

 
Thu, 05/27/2010 - 11:23

This proves that they haven't run out of great ideas. Well, duh! Look at all the great classes and planets they've come up with. Totally unique!

Tue, 05/25/2010 - 15:49

He looks like an ok boss. But Darth Bane would be better. Inspecialy with orbalisk armor.

Sat, 05/22/2010 - 19:53

He looks a bit like Darth Vader when his helmet is removed.

Fri, 05/21/2010 - 16:25

Why do you think he looks like Malak?

Fri, 05/21/2010 - 04:48

AlinChosenOne, said darth malgus turn to the light side, interesting, I wonder where did you learn that?

 
Fri, 05/21/2010 - 07:25

from a friend of mine who has a star wars book, he sayd that to me , but i don't remember exactly if it's Malgus or Angral, but i think Malgrus, Cuz he says to someone " I am a servent of the Light Now"

Fri, 05/21/2010 - 03:30

tHIS ONE LOOKS LIKE A EGGHEAD :)

AND EGGHEADS GIVE ME CREEPS!!!!

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 23:28

When I first saw "Deceived," I actually thought he was Darth Bane at first until I saw his mask and lack of orbalisk armor. Regardless, he is one of the best Sith I've seen.

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 22:28

And i failed. Turns out you cant have two accounts on the same Email address.

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 22:25

Lucky I signed up so fast becouse I was so pumped up about the game that I choose a bad screen name. Maybe I can make a different account and make myself Lord Angrel.

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 22:17

Interesting.....looks like we have a new end boss, like the witch king in LOTRO. (the breathing problems are caused by the destructive nature of the dark side, which slowly deteriorates sith, or can hold them together, like that one guy that was utterly messed up in KOTOR II)

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 21:15

hahahaha I chose Darth Malgus like nick name!!!!

Erdal
Thu, 05/20/2010 - 08:11

Darth Malak + Darth Vader = Darth Malgus

LoL

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 07:18

from what i heard darth malagus will come to the light and become a Jedi and the end of the story :)

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 07:14

GundamExia so you say that revan and bastila had a child??

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 01:58

Now the character from this game that really intrests me is Satele Shan who apparently is the direct blood decendant of Darth Revan and the jedi Bastila Shan. That would be a character that they could write several books on.

 
Mon, 06/28/2010 - 20:37

who says Revan is the father (great great great great great grandfather)?? I know they loved each other n all, but he left her and everyone he cared about forever. I don't see him as the "shag and run" type, but I could be wrong, lol! Hahaha!

For a child to be force sensitive, she would only need to be Bastila's child and not both of them, however thats an option too.

Thu, 05/20/2010 - 01:52

Not quite, unlike Darth Vader Darth Malgus from what I have read doesnt seem to want to aquire power. where as Darth Vader became a sith because he wanted more power and couldnt over come the fear of losing what he cared about the most. Also Vader tried several times to over throw Emperor Palpatine. Where as Darth Malgus prefers to follow orders and remain on the frontlines.

Wed, 05/19/2010 - 23:35

looks like they made another darth vader though............. sigh

Wed, 05/19/2010 - 23:32

this guy is has some scary **** features

Wed, 05/19/2010 - 04:03

@Free MMO Trollers: I honstly wouldnt want to play a free MMO (ever). Having to pay a few buccs a month keeps out all the *******bag players, who dont care about their account cuz its free and they can just make another one in 3 minuts, out. Also, when I pay I know that someone is being payed to keep my game from being stagnant.

 
Fri, 05/21/2010 - 22:24

yet wow is full of those even if you have to pay

community can be bad even with a high, low or even no cost
Most of the time it depend on the difficulty level of the game.

Anarchy online is one exemple, the basic game is free yet the complexity of the game fear the ''nooby'' away.
Lack of tuturial and the old look dont help much either :P

 
Wed, 05/19/2010 - 17:47

Thats so right! i are in your side! it is much much more better if u got a mounth fee that u gotta pay. there is people that have jobs at support if something happend to your acc etc.etc.. u gonna have help to fix it. and there will be less scam and stuff =P and nothing gonna cost u money to get better items and stuff =P

Just do the game with a fee to pay :)

Wed, 05/19/2010 - 03:09

cool

Tue, 05/18/2010 - 16:39

I'll cut him down

 
Tue, 05/18/2010 - 21:32

It would be fun to see him get a saber through his gut like he did to that jedi.

Tue, 05/18/2010 - 07:31

Once I finish Dynasty of Evil I will be looking forward to reading this new book when it comes out!

Tue, 05/18/2010 - 03:34

Personally I love all the lore that surrounds this game. Kotor I and II were great for the same reason the Neverwinter Nights series was great; they had massive story content that you could submerse yourself in for hours. This game is shaping up very nicely, not that I expected anything less. If there is a chance for a lifetime subscription before launch or any kind of special offer subscription I am going to get it without a seconds hesitation.

Mon, 05/17/2010 - 22:38

yes he looks powerful but i well not bow for him i serv darth vaska leader of the sith army

Mon, 05/17/2010 - 19:38

I would like to learn more about this guy, he seems to be a powerful sith lord=)) Sorry for my terrifying english=))

Mon, 05/17/2010 - 17:57

Hhhhmmm I can't wait to take this guy down.

 
Mon, 05/17/2010 - 22:18

Yeah. I hope we get an earlier encounter like you did with Malak in KOTOR I
and with Sion in KOTOR II. Kicking their butts early was fun. Then the rematch was tons of fun because I knew what they would do. Personally I just cheated Malak out of a fair fight and ran around with knight speed and saber throw. It can be fun to be a noob every now and then. Especially in such a serious battle.

Mon, 05/17/2010 - 00:09

I shall get this document and peruse it thoroughly, that I might gain some insight as to the workings of the nature of The Force, and it's ability to be both dark and light, existing on a level incomprehensible to most.

Remember, to know both sides of The Force, is to know and understand The Force as a whole, and one's self better.

 
Mon, 05/17/2010 - 00:33

"I'm going to be a grey jedi and read the new novel" Seriously, just paraphrase.

Sun, 05/16/2010 - 22:48

Sun, 05/16/2010 - 20:00

he looks like a cancer patient

 
Thu, 05/20/2010 - 20:17

He found out that the Empire's insurance won't cover his bills.

 
Tue, 05/18/2010 - 03:35

Wielding a lightsaber and with burning red eyes?

Sun, 05/16/2010 - 00:30

this guy would be an a great boss!

Sat, 05/15/2010 - 22:47

yes this would make the game feel more real when you play it. thums up guys.

Sat, 05/15/2010 - 18:05
