I wanted to share my thoughts on chapter 1 of the JK story, and hopefully spark some discussion. *I will have chapter 1 spoilers below, but please do not post any chapter 2 or 3 spoilers in any responses, as I'm not there yet.
Overall, I thought it was pretty fun and interesting. *Here are some of my thoughts:
T7 is pretty hilarious. *Great and unique companion.
Not really sure why Tarnis bothered with faking his own kidnapping. *This part seemed a bit convoluted to me.
Speaking of Tarnis, nice to see a familiar character in his dad, Angrel, from the decieved book.
Kira seemed to be an unspectacular companionat first, until I got to part of the story dealing with her past. *The sith brother was a surprise, and the mention of Children of the Empire (first mentioned in the Blood of Empire comic series) was cool, but no details given. *She may get more interesting.
Best part of sory quest so far: The Lord Praven encounter was very suprising. *I enjoyed seeing a light-side sith.
Best side quest so far: the Cerzka one on Tatoonie with the improsoned Rataka, that was very interesting.
Orgus' death was spoiled for me by the game. *I did the quest that preludes Taral V (where Master Oteg shows you he had contact with Meetra) before going to Alderan and one of the dialogue options was that my master died. *This was vey disappointing, as I expected the death of my master to be an epic moment in my storyline and it just got spoiled. *Then i got to Alderan, one of the first things mentioned was that my master was killed by the Sith, which turned out to not be true, but there was no explanation as to why I was topd he was already killed. *This whole part of the story seemed kind of underwhelming, I think just because it got ruined for me.
Why do so many missions have to revolve around a superweapon? *It is getting ridiculous. *I think I have already encountered at least 5 just in chapter 1. *Planet Prision, planet-splitting one on Tatoonie, Death Mark, and Hammer Station just off the top of my head. Aren't there more plot devices they could use to*send me from planet to planet? *I guess it makes sense what with the super weapon location being stolen on Coruscant, but I hope they move away from this some for the future. *
What are your thoughts on the first chapter of the JK?
