I don't even care about the what is "canon" anymore. Disney Star Wars and SWTOR Star Wars are two completely different albeit extremely similiar universes to me. Disney made cool new things like the Inquisitors but Bioware made equally cool things like Vitiate and Revan. I'll just enjoy both medias and don't care about what is what

So as we all know the tatoos our toons can get are purely esthetic and have no real meaning. But for the sake of Roleplaying and funsies let's say they have some meaning behind them. If I'd have to say: Bounty hunter, human BH gets a number of tattoos and face paint. In my head canon they represent a gang or "tribe" our BH used to be behind. My BH has the first option that's just like Skavak from the smuggler story. I like to think they were part of the same gang on Nar Shaddaa way back before said gang split up. Sith Warrior tattoos: These are fun because as stated multiple times on Korriban is that Red skin is just a mark. SW characters are always "born sith", for humans I find Sith tattoos to be a way of showing that they have proven Sith blood in them that go all the way back to Naga Sadow and Ajunta Paal. Slave Markings on Inquisitors: these can have multiple meanings. Some can say the place they originally come from, a planet, or a certain stable or a former owner. Some can be a punishment or have been part of a ritual. Like to me the one that looks like a bar code under the left eye is literally a price tag. Trooper tattoos: just like in real life these tats signify a special sort of service. You can really go crazy on these. The Havoc Squad logo is pretty obvious, it shows that you're a proud member of the best squad in the Republic army. But then there are of course other. Read up on Sailor tattoos, they can give you an idea. Zabrak/Rattataki tattoos: Zabraks' tattoos are a rite of passage and can symbolise family or tradition or personailty. Not much is said about Rattataki so I guess it's the same thing, go crazy. Mirialan tattoos: as it said in the description these mean you've been through stuff. Come up with a personal achievement your toon did, like win a hot dog eating contest or something, that'd be cool. And that's it I suppose. Share your ideas and thoughts, what could be added or changed?

I'd love it if we were allowed to have Koth somehow see as I talk to Valkorion on how we would kill (and hopefully beforehand torture) him. His precious Immortal Emperor discussing with his worst enemy on how they would kill him. Oh, the satisfaction my Sorc would get

But as HOW he would destroy it? First he would dismantle the Eternal Fleet, making it useless, then he would take control of the Republic and Imperial fleets and go a full scale "Darth Malak-style" orbital bombardement. Eventually Zakuul would be like Taris. But with less Rakghouls

Oh yes, my Sorcerer is already pissed at the five years they took from him. Burning down the Spire was only the start, the chaos fueled him. For him the people of Zakuul are pathetic, they've got nothing but droids to take care of them and do everything for them. He is disgusted at the weakness of its citizens, he thinks that Zakuul is not worth saving. In the Empire people at least knew what power was, and that the goal in life was to climb the ladder and become top of the food chain. My Sorc wouldn't hesitate but to destroy Zakuul and the Eternal Fleet with it. SCORPIO's deception only proved the flaw with having an overpowered, droid-based, army. Skynet was inevitable.

Okay, so a couple of days ago I actually took the time to finish my jedi knight's storyline. Chapter 3 is all done. Now this little window in the character selection screen should show the JK icon glowing right? Well it doesn't. It doesn't seem like I've finished it. Heck it even shows I finished BH story, but I'm not even of off belsavis yet. So, what the heck is this?

Alderaan is the only planet that deserve to be first place in line for it's own stronghold So there

Well i mean yeah. I was hard enough to accept using his powers for "your" own good. First I used it to save Lana. Then I used it again because I didn't want to get stabbed. But I swear this little charade he's holding is not holding up. That fight with Arcann was the last time I'll ever use his powers. He's going to backstab me someday, I know it. I don't buy this "change" thing for a moment after what he did on Ziost and Yavin 4. I mean, seriously? How the bloody hell could he have built up an Eternal Empire as a benevolent dictator out in wild space while he also was the supreme overlord of the dark side and all things bad? It's a giant plot-hole to how he at the same time raising three children and being emperor of another place could be the infamous Sith Emperor. I almost don't buy that he is the real sith emperor (although it's pretty much confirmed) But I do believe there is one massive plothole in it

Not quite since we are going to be having the same companions as your original character had (if you choose the same class). Then you won't have had the choice of being the hero. Or maybe you're right. Maybe this new character won't be the Hero of Tython, Darth Nox etc. Maybe this will be a completely new character (with the same voice apparently) that had his own companions and his own story and so on

So as we all know the Outlander will be our character, maybe your alt or your main, but according to a developer (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=818168) We will recieve a new character that will start at level 60, one "free character" as he liked to put it and that you can purchase a new any time you want from the CM. But my only question is: "How the fu** will that work?" I mean, where's the story? How can you choose wether you killed that guy or saved him, or married her or him, or when you fled home because a guy told you something really bad would happen and beat that one guy on the street and later deciding to answer the beast's riddle and ridding from the city that later made you king for it and married their widowed queen. But after the city started to fall you were told by an oracle that you had to bring the former king's murderer to justice, but then after asking another oracle you find out that the murderer might have been yourself and then later on you find out you were adopted, and then your wife/queen goes to kill herself, and later you go to find if the fact that you were adopted was in fact true you meet the man who had given you to your adoptive parents from the former king and now realising that you had married your own mother and killed your father. Historical jokes aside; what would your story be if you never HAD a story to work with, or will we have this pre-thing at character creation where you make the choices that would affect your story in KOTFE ? It gets a bit confusing for me

My only question is this: How will this new characters story be? How will we have chosen how he/she has been doing, will it be randomnised or will we have a pre-section of character creation where you go around choosing: Romanced her, killed him, had an affair with heir, betrayed him, saved those people, etc.

So as we all know, in both the trailer and in the expansion description, your character becomes the Outlander who is a Veteran of the Great Galactic War. However, if we look into the Journal of Master Gnost-Dural he speaks of the Great Galactic war as it happens BEFORE the Cold War, which is where every single one of our stories begin. This has to be some sort of wronging in Bioware's own lore, or i am missing something, the only war your character can be a veteran of is the Galactic War (and yes I'm not making it up, it is identified as that in a developer update: http://www.swtor.com/info/news/blog/20130205) , since that is what you go through after the treaty is broken. So what is this? Has Bioware mixed up its own story and lore or am I not paying enough attention (which would be quite embarrising). Please respond and what not.

Tell me first, is Decieved the only book where they at all mentions the Knight?

What the title says. I'm going to do an RP with my friends and I'm going as the Inquisitor. But which one of the two advanced classes: Assassin, Sorcerer, is the most fitting for the Sith Inquisitor story line

The following text is a scripted form of three fragments from the holo recorded journal of Tanceley Fett, a mandalorian warrior of the Cold War who struck down at the republic with both the training of the Mandalore culture as well as the Sith. This piece was retrieved and translated by Dark Council member himself, Darth Alargus, Head of the Pyramid of Ancient Knowledge. 3653 BBY; Sith Academy; Korriban, Record 1 "First Month at the Academy. It feels only like it was a century ago since Overseer Tremel messaged my parents that holo-frequency. And perhaps it was, I've heard that the dar'jetii, or maybe just the Emperor, could make people fall asleep for an eternity and never wake up. Or maybe it was all just a bunch of rubbish they told us on Mandalore to make children fear force-users. Well, I've tasted the force, the Dark Side felt good, but I tried the Light Side as well, it also felt good. Jetii'kot felt good!" Record end 3653 BBY; Sith Academy; Korriban, Record 6 "Second Month at the Academy. Overseer Tremel has taught me much of the Sith, told me the Code once, but I forgot quickly what it means. I was thinking about recording it later. But it had gone through my mind lately. I was born a mandalorian, trained as one for years until I was twenty. Then the Sith came and made me go to Korriban. Mother cried, Father didn't, he wasn't surprised I was force sensitive. It was just like my brother, Avickik. My little brother whom I only saw as a day old babe being taken away by the Jedi my parents made a deal with. What that deal was is a mystery to me and my older brother. But what do I do now? Do I embrace the teachings, the culture and ways of the dar'jetii? Or do I keep with the Mandalorian culture which is my true birthright? Many other acolytes have asked me a lot about myself, about my culture. I was glad to share pieces of history to them. But now I'm unsure what my true self lies; with Sith or Mandalorian? Both? Whatever I become it shall not be a dar'manda" Record end 3653 BBY; Sith Academy; Korriban, Record 11 "Third Month at the Academy. Now it really do feel like a habit to record my journal. I mentioned in my previous record how a Pureblood girl, the cute one, Al'reas, the first woman I called cyare. She wondered if I had truly asimilated into the dar'jetii. I didn't know how to answer that at first. But now I know that I shall integrate the two. I shall be a Mandalorian Sith. Never thought it was possible for a Mandalorian to become Sith, a force-user in general. I guess me and my brother will be the first two. I hope at least he will share it with me. But I shall tell now how I work, how I shall integrate my cultures, the Sith Code with the Resol'nare. First off, The Sith Code: From what Darth Baras has explained it teaches you how to gather strength. Strength is an important part of the Mandalorian culture, if we aren't strong then how are we suppose to protect ourselves and our honor? To do what is neccesary to protect and to bring fortune to family and clan; that is a lot like the Resol'nare. 'My chains are broken, the force shall set me free'. If I understood that quote correctly I should have the freedom of being able to choose my own culture. I shouldn't be bound to a Master, nor an Emperor for that matter, I should be able to choose whether I want a leader, and who this leader might be. I choose Mandalore, another part of the Resol'nare that tells how I become bound to rally beside him when he calls for war. In fact, I don't think I need to tell anymore about the Sith Code, for it only tells you how you become stronger through your passions, and how strength lead to your individual freedom. If that is so then I should be able to choose the Resol'nare code and still follow the Sith Code. But then there is more to the Resol'nare than to rally behind Mandalore and protect yourself and everything you love. Minor things if you ask me, but highly conservative things, like speaking the language and raising your children to be mandalorian and wearing armor. The language is something I know, and I can do that easily. My children is a fact in the future, not sure I will get any. About wearing armor, I guess I will need to find a Mandalorian Smith and buy some beskar'gan. Anyways I know how I am now, I know how I can become a dar'jetii without breaking the Resol'nare. I hope this Journal can come out to the Mandalorians who can use the jetii'kot. Protect yourself, your loved ones, your clan. Be loyal to Mandalore before all other of your allegiances. Wear the armor, know and speak the language, and raise your children the same way. The Sith code allows all of this, for you are not bound! Fellow Mandalorians, you are not bound by chains, you are bound by your will, for it is you who chose the path of honor, it is you who chose to follow Mandalore. We are Mando'ad! We choose this for it is our freedom!" Record end Comments of Darth Alargus: Three inspiring pieces indeed, I enjoyed listening to Tanceley's philosophy on how the Mandalorians could be Sith while serving Mandalore. I took note of how he himself used the Mando'a language some times while struggling to speak Basic. You don't see that of course, because I've translated most of it. Some words though, out of pure respect I've left un attended. Words such as "dar'jetii" or "dar'manda" or "cyare" and "Mando'ad". Dar'jetii I know is meant as Sith, for it is aliteral meaning of "not Jedi", and "dar'manda" is soul-less, without honor, the list of meaning is eternal. But enough of translations, though I took note of the word "jetii'kot" which I hadn't heard befor, my theory says that it is his version of saying The Force in Mandalorian. Though only said it twice in Mando'a. Anyways, the teachings of this acolyte, or rather Darth now, tells a much wise code of honor that he has followed since his training begun. The fact that we only managed to retrieve three fragments of his entire journal is sad, but still marvelous we found the recording of his first and last months as an acolyte, while he meanwhile had figured out a Mando-sith philosophy. You who is reading this have no idea how much I want to make this public. Alas, I must call forth the Dark Council before that. Darth Alargus
