Old thread I know but I didn't want to start a new one for the same topic and content and I only just finished this for the first time ever on my first ever character. I know many of you have played for a long time. But, I completely agree with the OP Rubbish result, very much especially if you are Sith aligned. There is no choice you can make that actually matters. The choice only affects who in your "alliance" gets pissed off at you. Big deal. In the game story you knew none of these characters '5 years prior in stasis' other than Theron and Lana. There is no real connection with Senya, Arcann and Vaylin for me, they just get introduced into the storyline. And Valkorian is just someone you're forced to deal with. You wake up one day from cryo stasis in a new empire, with a new emperor who has somehow managed to create a new empire which puts the Jedi Republic and Sith Empire COMBINED to shame all while neither faction even knowing this was happening under their noses. Barely believable, but OK, Ill play along. I enjoyed the game a lot up till now so lets give it some leeway. So after 16 chapters you get to a point in the story where enough damage has been caused and your character has been through enough trials and met enough people that everyone in your team is over 200% is on board with getting rid of Arcann and Vaylin, this absolutely includes Senya in her speeches along the way after her first encounter with Vaylin. You then get to that point finally in an epic battle where you finally bring Arcaan to his knees. The part of the cutscene where you stand there looking down at him after selecting to kill him off while the ship is being blown to bits around you is a literal eternity. Plenty of time to stick your sword through his head and then get out of the burning ship. But you stand there continuing looking at him like a muppet. Debris drops and suddenly you're separated. I knew right there and then, never having played through before, exactly how this was going to pan out. The escape using the rubbish story writing trick. Its an oldie but a goodie. Any choice to kill him off, is completely ineffective. So don't even bother. You have no choice. Doesn't matter what you select. Then while you're separated, still staring at him, while even a force apprentice knows how to force leap, your character as a Jedi or Sith master by this point...just keeps staring. Seems odd. A large hunk of ship drops on him and crushes him. Arcann, we find out soon after, still lives. When you leave the buring ship then Mother dearest decides NOW is time to be a better mother and decides to take off with him. You then actually FOLLOW them in your shuttle after successfully getting out of the burning wreck. You expect if you wern't going to have an ability to kill them both off your character wouldn't even bother turning your ship around, but you do. You catch up, get another option to select to finish them off. Maybe this time my choice might have a real outcome. Nope. So, nothing you select to finish the job actually matters. There is only one choice and it's already made for you. On the other hand if you want him to live or even if you're slightly not sure then all your roads lead to your Rome. He lives, even if you select to kill him or both of them off. The 'good' option is the only one for all of us. The 'bad' option must be so bad that the stroy writers have deemed youre not allowed to have it. In this chapter there is no story and no decision which really affects the final outcome other than the consolation prize of selecting ultimately the side remarks from your team members as to who likes you and who doesn't after that. But who cares. I never based my character around a popularity contest. Piss poor story writing.
