Pet peeves: The return (Part 5)

i think we can all agree that the “good guys” were lame though right. trooper was unironically the best story out of the 4

Forgettable more often than not

DS jedi knight was pretty fun as I recall, but it’s been literal years

jedi knight was about as by the numbers as it gets but ends with you “killing” the big bad so feels like the main story

consular had some interesting ideas but didn’t quite land for me

less said about smuggler the better

trooper was good though. very good even. everytime the camera focuses in on general garza’s dump truck is a moment well spent

You speak harshly but fairly

The Inquisitor fails upwards constantly in their own story

Which makes sense because the Inquisitor story’s main focus is the corruption at the heart of the Sith Order and the meritocratic lie the Dark Council sells to manufacture the conflict among Sith, so that they wear their ambitions out without truly bringing forth any great change, as they’re busy fighting each other instead of directing that ambition towards the system itself.

You’re told that by playing the game, you’ll rise to the top because Passion, Strength, Power, Victory. Only the strongest can rule. The truth is that the people at the top will just flip the board over and punch you in the face when they don’t like how the game is going.

The game was rigged from the beginning and you, The Inquisitor, are part of the problem.

Simple fact is thus: Star Wars is about and for space wizards, not dweebs with little pew pew blasters.

Also, I really love all the evil mysticism stuff of the Sith, but I confess I wasn’t keen on empire’s, uh, real world inspiration.

On the topic of Ahsoka, I really enjoy how the scenes in it are shot. It feels like a very… I don’t wanna say old or classic SW experience? But there is something different compared to the sequel trilogy that is just pleasing to the eye for some reason.

the two come hand in hand

because indiana jones or something idk ask george lucas, he’s the 30s germany obsessed one

I don’t want 'em! I’m an edgelord not a K-On! fan.

This is like saying Shadowlands is the best expac beucase it was more unique and foreign to the settings.

That was entirely the problem, it didn’t feel like Star Wars.
Akamito, stop letting your relatives post nonsense :angry:

I hadn’t thought about it until a friend showed me what they meant, but another huge improvement is the fighting choreography.

It pretty much marries the rigid style of the original trilogy with the almost dance-like moves from the prequel trilogy. The result being an impressive, but still realistic looking form of lightsaber fighting. Like there is weight behind the strikes, but not so much that a flourish would seem unfeasible.

My friends from SWTOR and I have a long running AU-timeline RP campaign over discord where the Empire loses the war, the Dark Council goes down fighting during the final siege of Dromund Kaas and the galaxy reverts to a broken post-war place similar to KOTOR 2 with corporations and criminal cartels exerting their influence over the Imperial remnants while the Republic is too stretched thin (and broke) because of the war to assert peace.

We had a few time skips, and we’re now 7 years post-fall of the Sith Empire. We conducted a purge of the Sith survivors so that 1. only our teachings survive while we rebuild it and 2. purge out the weeds from the garden i.e. all the nepotism and corruption that diluted the Sith Order for centuries. We’re going proto Rule of Two with whatever arbitrary number we finally settle on once we’re done.

With there currently being about 12 Sith left in the Galaxy as of our sandbox campaign, the Galaxy believes the Sith to finally be extinct while we go full Phantom Menace trying to undermine the Republic and the Jedi Order from the shadows to rebuild in the Outer Rim.

Also the Grand Moff took her own faction of loyal legions and jumped to the North East corner of the galaxy during the siege of Dromund Kaas which lead to its final fall as the reinforces never came, and they haven’t been heard from since. Scattered rumours speak of this faction of Imperial Remnants encountering strange creatures at the edge of the galaxy…

You mildly redeem yourself with this, mind you.

The question is never ‘Force Lightning?’
For that is always the answer.
