Upon return to Tython to speak with Jedi Council. Youn-Par is among masters speaking. Per the holocall aboard Vivicar's ship, that master states the Masters shielded suddenly sickened and died. Thus YP would not be in a position to speak at all.

So I couldn't remember if there was even an 'option' to not take the mission, I created a new jedi and pushed to that point. There is NO option to not do the quest other than never to click on the "Baby Bundle". I get and understand the possible 'M' for actual abandonment and if that is the reason, I'd agree that this is the only way to dodge that bullet. Doesn't change my belief that this mission misses out on action and consequence. My thanks for reading and the responses, See you in The Shadowlands.

You are correct about the loss of xp being minimal in not accepting the mission. This wasn't about the xp of it more that FEB it lacks impact because there is very little 'intention' in it.

The mission is predicated on "doing the right thing" or so Master Squilb praises you for upon turn in. Granted, this quest has no Light side points gained from it. However, what about those pursuing a Darker path from the first footsteps? Wouldn't Dark Side points be appropriate for denying the quest and leaving it to die from hunger and exposure? Currently, there is no option. You run off to kill Guid for meat to feed 'FEB' then take it to Squilb. I see the lack of DS possiblilty to be missed opportunity, not just for DS, but for the gravitas of that particular portion of the Jedi story. I'm not suggesting the Protagonist toss "FEB" against rocks or cut it in half with a training saber. It could be argued that a quick death like that could be 'merciful', so what really is more Dark than leaving it to squeal and die slowly? With a possible DS component in this mission it makes 'doing the right thing' a more thoughtful action and not just 'pro forma', as in, 'to satisfy the minimum requirements or to conform to a convention or doctrine. I realise that a change like this might sound simple up front and be rather complex in the back end. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
