short answer, No

If this is true then it is just one more proof that the devs have no idea what the hell they are doing, not that we needed more but I guess here it is

Most likly, from the way they talk to one another, especially in the first 9 chapters of fallen empire. And it would be incredibly cliche, which all but makes it a certenty that the writers went with it, since they have proven unable to write anything that is both original and good, really they cant write anything good most of the time even if it is unoriginal

well there is a very easy way for you to avoid those spoilers, just do not watch the videos, simple as, you wont get spoiled

Now we can all agree I think that starwars has some hits and misses when it comes to ship design. But is there really anything that tops the Gravestone? its just a huge monolith of ugly, and somehow maneges, in starwars to look so impractically designed as to pull you right out of the story

So if we ever needed more proof that the devs and writers of this game are compleatly incompetent then here it is, did they initially promis us that we would get our companions back? yes, are we going to? No, and why because they couldent figure out a way in their messed up story to make it so. Here is an idea, why the **** did you take them away then?

So I sort of feel like the value of fanfiction is a topic that should be discussed somewhere else

wow, so much wow

if he lives and is set to work aginst his sister, there is a much larger chance that he will betray us and go right back to his own self the moment he is without supervison, you would have to be constantly watching him, and lets be honest the outlander has a really really bad track record for spotting betrayals, besides so you let him work, compleatly spitting on the memory of all the people he killed, what then when the fight is over? besides we have already seen that the writers only work in extreems, so if there is going to be a choice, it is going to be either kill him or compleatly forgive him

the only reason some of those people are picked up is that the story forces you to, there is no reason to pick up Kaliyo or scorpio, secondly yes the allience is a military organization ment to fight zakuul so you should expect people to follow orders

well Kaliyo is a no brainer for not trusting her, even if you arent the agent, anyone can see from a mile away that she is an unstable individual and not someone who will be able to follow orders, definetly not someone you would want in a military organization, and much the same could be said for scorpio

are you kidding me? it is quite clearly untrustworthy, your character, which seems pretty dense otherwise even gets the option to say so when you pick it up initially even though they then forget that later. And even say you did not mistrust it from the begining then you should when you start to find out about the pilots of the ships. Since you know scorpio is in the allience for its own reasons. The resonable thing to do would have been not to bring it along to begine with

yeah cause in a highly advanced civilisation that could happen, you wouldent be able to pull stuff like that today, there is basically no way that no one would find out and show it to people

how? first of all you are playing the 'leader' of the allience with no actual influence. Your character has also apperently lost all common sense and falls for every obvious betrayal, I mean scorpio really? You have the 'new side of the force' thats compleatly bull and breaks with all star wars lore and aside from that makes no sense because even though these people are apperently super powerful from the new side of the force, enough to beat both the sith and the jedi, you kill them all day as if they were nothing. This new story line has so many plotholes, and thats when the plot isent straight out redicules. Aside from that the characters dont seem resonable or even remotly belivable, take Senya for instance, not even counting her betrayal in the last chapter she is just plain dumb, like when she introduces you to the scions, at a point where she has just met you and presumably is trying to win your trust, one of the first things she dose is lure you into a trap, when there was no reason at all that she couldent have told you in advance.

I have no faith in the part of bioware that writes this game no, and their writing ever since vanilla has proved that, especially the fallen empire storyline, its such a mess all around

well you will be pleased by the upcoming compleatly unresonable redemption story with no option for those of us that actually would like to be able to take the story of the game seriously

thats just wrong on so many levels

you laugh but its likly to be close to the truth with the utter failings of the writing team, that is if we even get a dark or light choice, I still think they are just going to sadle us with Arcann and we will just have to pretend he isent a warcriminal who slaughterd millions of inocent people

There cant be any question that Senya is a traitor and should at the very least be locked up, as for Arcann even if he shouldent be killed, which by all rights he should, At the very least he needs to be locked up as punishment for what he has done, all this talk of redemption is bull because you cant redeem someone who has done the things he has. He needs to be punished for his actions, instead of just being spirited away by dear old traitor mom, only to appear again as a 'changed man' But the writing in this story being what it is, I find it highly unlikly that he will have to face any sort of consequence for his actions, far more likly is that we will just be forced to accept him into the allience come the next expansion, because the writers have lost all sense of how to do their job.

I think you will have it. In the sense that we will be forced to accept it, its clear to me that they are going for a redemption story, and if the last time we had the "option" of killing Arcann is anything to go by then no there wont be a choice, it will just be something shoved clumsily down our throats like all the other bs of this expansion

thing is, I dont belive they will give us the choice of either killing Arcann or keeping him, if they are setting him up for a redemption story and bearing in mind how they have done the story recently its gonna be forced on you to accept. I personally at least would have no issue with being given the choice, I cant see why anyone would take it, since I dont belive he is worth trying to redeem but if its an option I can chose not to. However I find that highly unlikly, much more likly is that we will be forced to accept him into the allience for some contrived reason. As for the daddy issues, well maybe you have had them, maybe severel people have had them, but I doubt anyone has gone out and killed millions of people for them, and guess what if you do kill someone and try to cite daddy issues as your defence, you will still get punished, its not a get out of jail free card.

Here is the thing, just because something is common in movies dose not mean that it is by any means a good way to tell a story, where it would make sense for the non force users to use the shild, for the jedi and sith it simply makes them look weak, because they should have been able to block that lightning with oh I dont know THE FORCE, you know that thing that the star wars univers revolves around, instead of a common sheild, also if the shields are able to take that kind of punishment how do we ever defeat any of the knights that uses them, for that matter why dont they make their armor out of this stuff?

Thing is though, Quinn dosent actually add anything that you couldent have gotten elsewhere, besides having someone on your team that you do not fully trust would be a very bad idea, you would just have to be constantly watching him for a new betrayal,

Also there is a very simple explanation for all of this, which is that the writers dont want to make any differences whatsoever in the story or game depending on which class you might be playing, thats the reason for the shield, its something that is class neutral so they can more easily shoehorn it into every class, whereas if they gave the force users a chance to deflect with their lightsaber or with the force itself then they would have to show some actual creativity for the non force user classes and come up with another set of animations for them

I am happy about this, true it makes chapter 12 even more of a giant waste of time then it already was, but the sooner we can forget about the magic weapon of +5 Arcann slaying the better, put it out of our minds because it makes no sense. Of cause the fact that we only beat him because of a random shield is stilll ****, and whoever wrote this deserves to get the boot, but at least we might not have to listen to any more bs about magical weapons or a 'new way of the force'
