Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Computer God Autism]

Meanwhile the actual cancelled Chris Avellone KOTOR 3 pitch seemed more meaningfully large and interesting. The purpose of making TOR over KOTOR 3 is an obvious one, I find it strange given your usual track record of star wars knowledge, this is just common sense.

I thought it was pretty obvious I was posing a rhetorical question, I remember very well how they were advertising SWTOR as Kotor 3, 4 and 5 and how the only area it really managed to surpass Kotor 2 in was having an unplayable launch.

It was and is a failure of a game. There was no benefit to making it over Kotor 3 for the fans of Kotor, especially if the end state of it was to just be a worse version of a single-player game we were denied.

Speaking of Star Wars RPGs, that total conversion they released for Starfield looks insane. Has anyone played it? Is it worth pirating the game for? Does it work for an EU purist, or is it just Disney slop?

I miss when subtle politics were baked into Star Wars.

During the Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader novel, Palpatine has to navigate the post-Order 66 galaxy and its politics. Even though he is Emperor, he was still a constitutional monarch, and so, he had to play the role of the gentle politician to keep the Senate satisfied, since he still needed them to pass his bills and stamp their seal of approval onto his agenda.

When asked by a senator on why the Jedi betrayed them, he responds that he doesn't know, but he uses the fact that most clones obeyed the order without question to posit the idea that the clone army had a hunch that the Jedi stank of corruption, hence why they executed the orders when they got them, without hesitation. He also couldn't openly say that he sent a mentally-deranged Jedi to wipe out the civilian leadership of the Separatists, so he pretended that Viceroy Gunray and his allies on the Separatist Council were still alive, and that they could take the deactivated battle droids as a sign of their surrender.

It was quite interesting to see Palpatine play the political game and keep worried people quiet and satisfied in the early years of the Empire, when the Imperial military is just what's left of the Republic military, and they didn't have all the power yet, so they had to work with the consent of the governed and keep them quiet and happy.

I just loved the thought that the Star Wars galaxy was this fully-realized fictional realm with realistic politics and ideologies that are down-to-earth and relatable. There's a time for over the top Sith powers, but there's also time for realistic politicking and maneuvering of political pawns. That gives Star Wars an advantage few other franchises have. Most franchises have OP powers but a simplified political landscape, or low fantasy to go along with a "realistic" political landscape. SW managed to get the best of both worlds back when the movies and the old SWEU were in concert.

The stuff people praised Andor for, SW had that as far back as 20 years ago, if not more.

Star Wars is really best when the space magic serves and hightens the otherwise mundane plot. The Sith Warrior storyline from SWtOR does that really well, as it is about spy rings, fears of code breaking and brazen political plays with the added space magic elements of the Sith Empire.

man
i can't believe you could actually trick jedi into leaving you alone through rule lawyering, hand over another jedi's parents for torturing, and completely demolish her worldview by corrupting her master, doing the same to her too
you will never see that done again

or this

i can't believe i'd ever want things to be at least on the level of fucking tortanic but here we are

This movie shit is all determined by who is giving them money to say stupid shit. Kennedy actually worked on some great movies in the past but blackrock or whoever wanted them to put in a bunch of retarded shit so she did. Now a lot of that money has dried up so they made her the scapegoat and out this new guy in to make star wars just a normal fucking show about guys with laser swords to get normal people back into it.

Well to bad, star wars sucks, everyone has moved on to 40k for space fantasy, and Games Workshop would never sell them shit.

GW would sell their licenses to any one willing to buy them. They have been doing so with games since the company shifted direction a decade ago. The amount of warhammer branded games that are pure slop out numbers anything of quality 100 to 1. Are tabletop newfags convinced the 40k meme is real and that GW are protective of their IP? They aren't. They're sue happy to people who make proxy models. Other wise it's a very easy license to get and quality doesn't matter.

If you want to see how bad 40k can get check out the CGI Space marine movie. It makes PS2 games look 4k quality.

SWTOR's most highly-rated stories are the Sith storylines where they mix dark magic with Game of Thrones-style politics. They were the closest SWTOR had to regaining the glory days of KOTORs 1 and 2.

I would rather have the padawan's family be taken care of so that her transition to Imperial lapdog, be it Light or Dark, is stable. But yes, corrupting her master is fun; he does it to himself. Even a Light-sider winds up corrupting him by accident because he's so arrogant and just can't take a loss with his chin held high.

You got me there. Rogue Trader was pretty fun though, but I'm a sucker for any CRPG. I kind of meant a total sellout which seems to be what Disney wants. GW will sell their loicence but will hold on to ownership like the UK holds on to the royal family.

I will remind the thread that Christopher Lee actually was a very distant relative of R. E. Lee.

I did this when I tried out the game when it went free to play, but I didn't know or remember you could make the companion watch. I always kind of want to go back and actually beat the game, but it being an MMO puts it very low on my priority list.

So was Admiral Willis Augustus "Ching" Lee Jr. who also served in WWII.

Same for me for the longest time until I decided to just buy a month's membership and do it.
I burned out in the second chapter of Bounty Hunter after getting through Sith Warrior and Imperial Agent.

When I tried it out I did the starting quests for all the characters so that probably played a part in getting burnt out when I decided I liked Sith Warrior the best. For the hell of it I tried to see if I could recover my old account one time, but no such luck. One day I'll just make a new account and do the same thing you did.
