Pet Peeve: The Undying

I also played KOTOR 2 before 1 so therefore it wasn’t a surprise.

Telaryn:

Sylvanas isn’t really evil though, and she never contests it either. She was always manipulative, but there was a truth to what she had to teach. It’s the way she went about achieving it that was morally questionable. The fact that she is what she is wasn’t surprising for me, especially when she burns down Teldrassil at the beginning of the game.

The surprising thing was that despite that build up, and you obviously knowing there’s some things going on with Sylvanas, I was really invested in seeing how that turns out. Is she really a villain? Anti-hero? Anti-villain? I shouldn’t trust her, but she has a point – kind of. And in the end, I didn’t hate her. She was the antagonist, but not a bad guy.

Battle for Azeroth didn’t need to rely on a plot twist, the characters were fleshed out and written really well to keep you invested all the way.

Woah. Based opinion.

don’t insult kreia like that

Revan’s only major failing was that he canonically fell in love with Bastila, which no person of any great merit would ever do.

One of my favourite things about Kotor 2 is that your party does not get along at all with each other.

At best they’re indifferent towards one another, and at worst they’re actively trying to kill each other (depending on your influence and alignment).

Akamito-argent-dawn · September 19, 2019, 4:00pm

Worst part about Kotor 2 is rolling female exile which is canonical and best option, but as a result having to be stuck with the disciple

GOD THAT FACE

What a beautiful butterfly he is.

I don’t think that Kreia was this deep, transcendental philosophical giant. She’s actively encouraging your worst impulses, sowing manipulative threads to have you use your allies. She’s Sith through and through all the way pretending to be grey in a black and white binary and Atton gets all my thumbs up for pointing out the obvious after her “betrayal”.

But canonically the exile had a mix of the male and female exclusive characters on her crew.

Go back to your training. I’ll call you if I need someone useless.

I believe the only reason they made the Exile female is because Revan was male. Not sure if I can agree with “best option” though. KOTOR 2 really seems to have been made with a male Exile as the canonical choice until they retconned it in TOR. It especially shows with the Restored Content Mod.

I just wish we got KOTOR 3 instead of TOR. It ruined everything the KOTOR games set up, especially Revan’s character. A KOTOR 3 set in the Unknown Regions, perhaps teaming up with Revan and the Exile to combat the true “Sith Empire” teased in KOTOR 2 would have been perfect.

Elenthas-argent-dawn · September 19, 2019, 4:21pm

She was established as female before TOR, though not in the games. The KotOR novels were after TOR’s release but before their Revan content, so that’s a bit up in the air, since it could’ve been in the works/planning stages at the time.

I do think they were more open to male exile when the game came out with special love-love dialogue for Atris and the like.

Death-hydraxian-waterlords · September 19, 2019, 4:23pm

Rather Meetra Surik was established in anticipation for TOR but not before then.

It’s everything from male interactions with Bao-Dur and Atton to the dynamic with Visas, the Handmaiden and Atris. It’s way more fleshed out than with a female Exile.

Atris’ fall to the Dark Side makes a lot more sense as a male exile, you get cutesy interactions with Visas as a male exile, you get to have sweaty combat sessions with the Handmaiden as a male exile. I fully believe the game itself was tailored with a male Exile as the canon choice.

Besides the Disciple is really bland.

This word is my pet peeve.
