I wonder what the status of Koth's Valkorian hero worshipping will be like if/when he sees Val's force ghost do something more like what WE have seen him do that is totally out of place with the idealized image he has created for him. we didnt get so much as a blip out of him if I remember right when we were freeing the gravestone to get to Odessen when Val took over our bodies (if we made the LS choice and didn't accept his power).. and said afterward that all those dead people were Val's doing (Will be going through FE again pretty soon on a few full LS DvL chars to verify that)

I'll preface this by saying I've only gone through Ch16 once so far (with a full LS Sentinel) I spared Arcann BOTH possible times.. Yet I still kept Koth and the 'stone Was he pissed? very much so, and with very good reason. Was it (sparing Arcann) the right thing to do? Also, very much YES. Or has anyone forgotten that one of the more common themes in the SW universe is powerful force users 'falling from grace' and their eventual redemption.. see the Skywalker/Solo family as exhibit a. If there isnt a cutscene in the next expansion with Senya and Arcann interacting/training with Master Satele and Darth Marr on another Force neutral planet in Wild Space I'll be more than a little surprised

I can understand a lot of peoples frustrations.. I REALLY want Kira, Jaesa and Nadia back soon, but I will resist the temptation to just retrieve them and while YES it would be easier to just go find them via the commanders tool in his quarters.. I mean even a new teaser mail message like the ones we found when we got access to a mail terminal after thawing out of the carbonite (only talking about the outlander's exploits and how similar it is to the adventures you shared before you disappeared) would likely keep some of us happy until they come back. Edit: and think about it for a second.. Kira, after Master Satele, is likely one of the strongest Jedi left after you disappear (including Nadia.. like I said I'd like her back too, but just stating fact.. Kira is likely in a different league now).. Jaesa likewise from a Sith perspective (especially if you went full DS with her..). I would hope they have a large part to play, and make an immediate impact As for clues left over the last few chapters. I suspect Satele and Marr end up being there when Arcann and Senya eventually go back to ground, and are part of Arcann's redemption

Could be wrong (nothing shocks me anymore) but I think its because many of those are the ones that can be done by both Empire and Republic characters..

going through your list.. 1) considering chapter 16 was pushed back to mid August (which actually puts IT in line to compete with Legion's release).. I'd have to put KotET's release for between mid October and early November. To give people enough time to get bored with WoW again 2) they may incorporate the global final results of DvL into the new expansion.. but otherwise, I expect between 3-6 opening chapters, then new chapters monthly like FE 3) I would expect at least one, maybe 2 new planets.. would be nice to see them incorporate the Chiss homeworld into the story (something I'm pretty sure EVERYONE would love to see now, especially with Thrawn's return to canon) 4) with so many companions available now, it might make more sense to either allow multiple crafting skills, or expand the cap beyond 550, and allow more than 6 crafting missions at once. but otherwise yes, expect at least a few more companions, plus any ones who havent been brought back yet 5) unless im mistaken, hasn't each major expansion added 5 levels to the cap? if so, only expect the cap to jump to 70

that's kind of what I was afraid of. I know a lot of the hardcore people likely aren't going to care who they end up getting. But given that tier's requirements are almost as basic as the opening few tiers (with the only thing remotely challenging getting through round 5 of the EC), it would have been nice for them to actually say 'if your planning on taking a crack at the final tier, be aware that ALL of the choices you make go toward determining what companion you get when the event ends'. This way, they can have the one char they take to the opposite side of where they're hoping for, and do what I mentioned in the original post.. making all the throwaway 50's that will be made toward filling that requirement making the choices that go toward the companion they want to get. not that most people wont have an understanding on where they stand in terms of the event, but having something tangible to keep an eye on wouldn't hurt

But if it has, I apologize in advance.. regarding the Eternal tier (lev 65 rep and imp event created chars + completed to round 5 of Eternal Champ that grants the new companion at end of event) will only the dark side/light side choices made up to the point the tier is competed count toward what companion is awarded (meaning choices made AFTER the tier completes wont affect the companion awarded) I ask this because I'm 'considering' making a run at that final level.. and if choices made on other event characters are going to count after the eternal tier is complete, your going to end up having quite a few people simply power-leveling chars to 50 choosing based on what companion they want, then deleting those chars once they hit level 50. though if that ends up being the case its not like its going to add THAT much time.. with the way things are set up now.. someone who opts to complete every quest available as they move from planet to planet is going to end up hitting level 50 well before they finish the class storyline, or will just be finishing it if they opt to not do any of the side quests

I've only seen the 4 lightsaber wielding classes though to at least the Hutt Cartel (2 through FE).. so i might watch some of the cutscenes for the others.. but I've only finished all of those once..

when I came back right around the time KOTFE was getting going.. I had one char worth anything.. a Sentinel that was at 50 (which was max when i stopped playing).. I now have that char capped (and filtering through some content I missed, deliberately passed over to get main lines done) and finished chapter 14. I also made: 1) a Warrior (who is capped and through chapter 13.. definitely has a lot of side content to do if/when I feel like it), 2) a Shadow @ lev 64 working through SoR 3) an assassin @ lev 54 just finished the main pre-expansions storyline 4) a couple of throwaway chars (mid 20's agent and bounty hunter I wont miss, but need to get some gear off them into legacy vault before deleting for event) What I'm likely to is: a) start with another Sentinel (and while I'm tempted to just do main lines to get him/her capped and through content to move on to the next.. I'm also tempted to have each char take a little extra time and clear all the content on every planet) going full light b) move to another Warrior (because dual wielding sabers is so much fun) going full dark and fully romancing Vette.. the first time around I romanced Jaesa.. c) figure out what to do on the fly after that.. I may finally decide to join a guild at some point ( im on Jedi Covenant for those wondering) and help others blast through content while marking off items on the bigger checklists along the way.. Though I at some point do want to do a full on dark side republic char and a full on light side Empire one.. thinking maybe light side Agent/dark side smuggler, wont know until it happens. welp, I still have some prep work to do.. so see you all Tuesday on Tython

i guess that makes sense in a weird way.. but having gone through FE a few times now (especially how the last 2 or 3 chapters have been length wise) does anyone get the sense they might have been better off making at least chapters 1-5 or 6 a single chapter? or at the very least make the initial encounter with the Eternal Empire a prologue chapter (like they did with SoR), make the carbonite dream stuff through the initial escape chapter 1, and getting to odessen would be like ch. 4 or 5 instead of 8 or 9

and there are still so many classic companions that have yet to resurface.. 3 that stand out to me are Kira, Nadia, and Jaesa.. While Kira and Jaesa likely have important roles to play (wouldn't be shocked to have it turn out Jaesa becomes Arcann's consort or something like that, while Kira has been leading whats left of the Order since Grand Master Shan went into self-imposed exile ) I've avoided using the locator to recover people, want to get them in the story.. but its getting harder and harder
