They won't make you choose. Despite everything it might seem, Theron and Lana will consistently choose you and the Alliance over other options. Now, they'll be biased towards the Republic and Empire respectively, but still choose you. If you don't believe me... who wants to make a Credit bet?

A month late, but hey. I TOTALLY CALLED IT.

Unfortunately, your choices cannot be changed. Replay only shows you want you COULD have done instead, but your first choices are cemented in the system. At least, until Bioware says we can change our game.

Although your headcanons trump all in the end, I suppose, it seems more than likely that Koth and Lana were in a relationship prior to your release. Whether true emotions were involved, I do not know, but knowing Lana, I would not doubt at all she would use sex/relationship as a manipulator. As for being a couple now, there are three factors: Are you romancing Lana? Then no, they are not a couple. Did Koth betray you? Then no, they are not a couple. Finally, are you romancing Koth? Then no, they are not a couple. #1 & #3 are fairly self-explanatory: Bioware, unless the character is explicitly shown to be "wild"/"lascivious"/insane* (Read: Kaliyo, DS!Jaesa, Iron Bull, Isabela, etc.) does not have a character cheat on the main protagonist. Neither Lana nor Koth fit any of those definitions, so any cheating is highly unlikely. Possible, but highly improbable. (( Besides, why would they cheat? They've got the PC, sex-master extraordinaire. )) (( *This list does not include idiots, such as Jacob. )) #2 is answered in Chapter 3 of KotET, and again is pretty self-explanatory as well. The betrayal from Koth is something Lana takes very personally, much like Agent Kovach's betrayal on Ziost. Lana makes very clear that anything between them is dead then. As for Lana/Theron, there was no doubt romantic subtext. But I doubt a physical relationship occurred, simply due to each's reluctance on a relationship with our ever charming PC's, and any hope of one appearing was dashed after Lana let Theron be captured. (( Also, Theron doesn't take vacations at all, I don't think him not getting any nookie seriously troubles him. The man is far too dedicated to his work. ))

More likely that even if they could interbreed... one does not willy-nilly do so. The child could be born sightless without Force vision.

According to Wookiepeida they can. Besides, you're talking about a galaxy full of sentient different species that can apparently have compatible genitals and kids. Science has no care anymore.

That one time diarrhea actually made a decent point in regards to the suffering of others. Chalk another one up to "Things I didn't expect to read today."

Yes, but Redemption is a main tenet of Star Wars. In any case, as to your second point: I one hundred percent believe that the option will be narrowed down to this: Kill Arcann and Senya, or spare them. In fact, I will go on record claiming this. You can all point back to my post on Nov 29th to see if I'm right.

We've got a whole galaxy of threats. I'm sure we'll be busy doing something.

It wouldn't be Star Wars if the angry masked bad guy wasn't redeemed by love. In any case, I have no doubt they will have the story open and split between those that kill Arcann and Senya, and those that do not. More than that, if Arcann offers a genuine turn towards good... why shouldn't we accept that? He may never be able to atone for his crimes, but is death the best answer? Is it the correct answer? These are questions others have to answer for themselves.

In my mind, it will be almost certain that you can redeem him, with Senya's help, at least. Star Wars is always one for redeeming bad guys. Unless they have Emperor as title, then it's give or take.

1) Jedi Knight is a relatively satisifying "You're the Hero" story. It doesn't attempt to drive away from that cliche, but executes it well, for the most part. Solid story. 2) The companions are pretty good (Kira and Doc being standouts). Your actions feel... Somewhat important? At the very least, there are some reminders of what you chose before near the end, based on whom you spare/recruit. 3) The Old Jedi Order has its issues, but for the most part, I would prefer them over the Sith. Star Wars has always been a fantasy of "Black and White" to our reality of "Gray." Therefore, some choices may seem jarring. React as you believe your character would, not what the shiny alignment button says. 4) Personally, having experienced most of the story and seeing all the classes: Jedi and Sith feel more in tune with the story of the Outlander. I prefer Jedi personally, but the story will be the story regardless of faction. Just twists and tweaks.

The "irrelevant thief" became so after it was revealed the Black Sun were the main culprits. With the reveal that Tarnis was the one attempting to steal the plans, do you truly believe the Sith Lord did nothing to make it as easy as possible for the Rodian to steal them? He was a slicer with a truly deep "in." Moreover, he not only tells you, the Jedi, where he's going, but then sends a letter! Giving SIS an incredibly easy way to track him down if they wanted to. By killing him, you are merely allowing another criminal to fill the slot he left vacant. And possibly a criminal who doesn't respect the Jedi, which Vistis admits he does. By showing mercy, you give this criminal not only a reason not to go after the Republic, but a stern reminder that attempting a heist on the Republic files again will result in no mercy. The difference here, since there is no choice to bring the slicer into custody (thanks Bioware), is us: you believe he should die, I do not. The medication you are after is not a cure; It is only a way to stave off the infection. So long as the raiders there continue to stay on Taris and fight off Rak'ghouls, the less manpower they have to actually raid. Moreover, the doctor admits in a Light Side letter that the entire company is speaking of pulling off the planet entirely, which by the time Chapter 2 arrives, indeed happens. The rak'ghouls also seem to focus on the raiders more, meaning less pressure on the republic settlers. Choosing the Dark Side option means that instead of raiders merely stealing supplies, we have monstrous rak'ghouls eating people! But that's pretty okay for you, it would seem. If we do not pull in Imperial Taris as proof that Jedi training was working, until the Sith got involved... It was not just the nekghouls. Firing the reactor would have irradiated much of the of the land surrounding the reactor. Even if all of the nekghouls died, countless rakghouls would not, and adapt to the radioactive waves. Radiation that takes years to scrub. You would not only wipe out a sentient species (WHICH IS GENOCIDE BY THE WAY) but also harm colonists even morso then simply taking the chance with the Nekghouls. Some cancers cannot be cured. There will always be crime. There will always be pain. You can wallow in the anger and frustration and hatred that comes from recognizing that the galaxy is a crappy place. For some, that is even what they choose to do. But the Jedi choose differently. Hope instead of Despair. Life instead of Death. Justice instead of Vengeance. To believe that all a person needs to be good is a helping hand. A beacon to follow. To be a Jedi is to be a shield for the defenseless first, and a sword when all other options are exhausted, and your hand has been forced. And when your blade must be unleashed, you wield it not as a butcher's cleaver, but as a scalpel, thoughtfully and precise in its excision. A Jedi chooses to represent what the galaxy could be, and can be. Because Ideals save us. They lift us up so that we can choose to be better. But you chose and still choose to wallow. And perhaps I cannot convince you. But that does not mean others cannot choose to rise above. (( All considerations are taken due to the indefensible sloppy writing that limits us to the binary choices Bioware presents and puts our characters into a vaccum. Optimal solutions may not be be included. ))

(( Ow the edge on this post, btw. But semi-serious answer below. )) Everything you've described reeks of revenge and vengeance. Emotional reactions that result in being unable to control your own sense of self. A belief that because someone committed evil, you may do unto them the same. You have declared yourself executioner; barely acknowledging a judge, and ignoring the jury. I'm not surprised though. Revenge is easy. To give into impulse, to attack those who have wounded you or those you have deemed to attack what you protect is nature, natural. You blame the Jedi for being too weak, too pacifistic. I say you have no concept of what is to actually enforce justice, to practice restraint and mercy. To emotionally detach yourself from the horrors of evil so that society, not you, be the judge of their fate. The truth of the matter is that as much as you say enforce "justice," you don't. You couldn't stomach justice, and most people can't. Because everything you continue to describe is me, me, me. Justice has never been, and never shall be, personal. Justice is for the whole of humanity. Justice must always be for both sides, or there is no justice.

Pah, I completely forgot about Xenophobic... Yeah, that makes sense. Perhaps "barely tolerated" would be a better description for current day aliens in Imperial territory.

Zakuul is a primarily human civilization. Most aliens there are foreigners. The Empire has been incredibly... Speciesist? (Racist just doesn't fit) For the longest time. Only recently have aliens been accepted there. Only the Republic has been really -alien- diverse, and we saw that with chapter 11 and Aric Jorgan. But considering humans are by far the most populous of the species in the galaxy, I'm not surprised it seems human-centric. Personally, I'm not concerned with how many aliens will pop up in the story. I'm more concerned with how well written they'll be. There's a world of difference between Vette and Kaliyo and Jorgan and Koth, ya know.

I believe Meteor was the Commander's callsign. As for the Squad itself: Meteor: Tactics and surgical strikes, with either gunnery (Commando) or close combat (Vanguard) specialization Jorgan: Long range specialist Dorne: Combat medic Vik: Explosives expert Forex: Heavy weapons and fire support Yuun: Slicing and technology

From my memory, Vette really didn't seem to have that many flirt options. So, possibly on track. See if youtube has the full romance and convos to compare.

Your post is unnecessarily hostile. She explained she prefers the stronghold mechanics over the other functions of the game, and that her gear was not up to spec. Why attack her over things she readily admits? Would it not be more satisfying to encourage her to try and gear up, and really play the game? A little positivity, man.

In order to easily compete in Eternal Championship, your gear should be at 208 gear rating or better. For the most part, that's not difficult to get. Doing the Odessen heroic dailies/weekly should enable you to earn the lowest tier of gear by the end of the first week of farming. I understand you are a casual player, but Eternal championship is quite possibly the only Solo experience in the game so far that was meant to be a "serious" challenge. It's meant to test how ready one is for Operations based on reactions to how the bosses are fought. This guide linked here explains all the mechanics of each fight. I sympathize with your disappointment that your particular avenue of enjoyment requires perusing avenues outside of it, but I cannot agree with lowering the difficulty. For more serious players, like myself, I enjoy something my character doesn't instantly faceroll over.

To follow up on this, I don't think people here think less of you for wanting to try. It is an admirable concept and outlook.

I don't think there's a single bad guy in existence that someone hasn't thought, "A little love can change them! They can be good!" And sure, sometimes it works... And this is Star Wars, where a child murderer apparently got redemption (from his son helping). But even if Arcann could be redeemed, or given a chance to be good, let's keep the realistic option of "Stab him in the face until dead" as primary option #1.

Don't you think believing the only enemy to ever pose a threat to you is behind every attack against you is a little... Outlandish? (( But yeah, Arcann is a complacent tool. ))

No, I don't think that's quite right. I think they just stuck together as business partners, from what I've read. She still gets targets, Torian brings 'em in.

I promise I meant no attack. I just saw the premise, and really wanted to keep the thread focused. Thank you.
