Great work!!

That'd be great.

OMG yes plz to the Force Monk. I loved in KOTOR2 how you could improve your hand to hand combat.

"Force lightning ability was not restricted to dark-siders. Jedi and other light-siders who were strong of will and character could learn this power without falling to the dark side—but its use was viewed as inherently corrupting, and most Jedi Councils forbade its use." http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_lightning I get what you are saying but if you go to that link it shows many sources of light side users using force lightning with no effect. Instead it was "viewed" as corrupting rather than actually being corrupting.

Well that is why I brought up the other force-sensitive groups that are neither Jedi or Sith. They use multiple force skills (including force lighting, Witches of Dathomir) without accepting a Sith or Jedi way or even only one side of the force. I do see your point that certain powers are diametrically opposed. Unfortunately there are examples of people using both, and apparently examples of it not being possible.

I see what the two of you are saying that Sith, as a philosophy, must always be dark side. So it seems like more of a misunderstanding on definitions (primarily on my part). I had a larger response with spoilers semi-composed but I realized it came down to this: Most Sith accept the current ways and work within that framework and ideals, they are in a sense shackled by what they believe is bringing them freedom. If you play a light side Sith it is very obvious by the way the story develops that you reject some of the principals of the order. For instance, typically you will reject deception in favor of honor. You will reject meaningless bloodshed and take time to develop hidden talents. And finally you will prove your path is valid either by an evidenced history or by martial might. I don't think this course makes you reformed, it simply means you are independently deciding on what parts of the code are actually useful and which are simply traditions or conveniences. This course itself isn't unusual being that the Sith themselves are self proclaimed reformers. "The Sith saw themselves as seekers, challengers of old and stagnant ways, in touch with the laws of nature and the universe."--Code of the Sith, Wookiepedia

I think to take such a binary look at the stories over simplifies the matter. Redemption is a common re-occurance throughout SW so much so that it is basically the go to battle cry of the Jedi. It's true that very few who drink the dark side kool-aide decide to change their course but if the Jedi stopped offering it or believed it wasn't viable then their whole order would be called into question. I think it is really only the Sith themselves that believe there are no other paths to talk.

This, except I totally bought it!

It's true that in a lot of the movies and books we don't have much in the way of a light side sith. But we do have a two interesting examples: 1) Darth Vader; in the end he kills the emperor, saves his son and returns to the light side. However, imagine that Darth Vader doesn't die at the end and instead negotiates peace with he Rebels as the new rightful Emperor. Some would see his killing of the Emperor as his ascent to power, while others would view it as his redemption. He wouldn't be a Jedi again, but he also wouldn't be the maniac Palpatine was. He'd be in essence a light side Sith. 2) Mara Jade; once a member of the Emperor's Hand to the a wife to Luke. She clearly starts at the depths of the dark side and evil and moves to a completely different alignment. At some points in her life, could she have been described as a light side Sith, I think so. Next we have multiple accounts of Jedi falling in the heat of battle, only to go back to their more centered perspective. I think this shows that neither side is absolute or that you lose power using one side or the other, it seems instead they are just better fitted for different occasions, light for peace and dark for battle. 1) Obi-Wan clearly gets angry in his final clash with Darth Maul. 2) Luke clearly goes berzerker on Vader only to pull himself back together. Finally I submit to you the groups that neither accept Sith nor Jedi teachings but use the force, showing that it isn't a necessary dedication to the ideals of these two groups that grants the power: "These [groups] could belong to either the light or dark side, or simply exist somewhere in between. Some of the more well known examples of independent Force-user groups included the Ysanna, the Witches of Dathomir, the Aing-Tii Monks, the Baran Do, the Fallanassi, the Jensaarai, the Krath, the Sorcerers of Tund and other Force-based Organizations. Also, some Force-users did not adhere to any code or creed, but were self-taught or raised and trained by independent masters. There was also a family of Force-wielders known as "The Ones" on the planet Mortis." - Wookiepedia "Force-Sensitive" So in conclusion, it is true that often the polarized Light vs Dark is the focus of a story within the Star Wars universe there are many shades of grey and different circumstances. I don't think a light side Sith is any less "realistic" than a dark side Jedi.

I ran into this doing Armor tech I broke down a ton of green chest pieces I created and couldn't get a blue design. Maybe the fake random number generator is just "streaky".

Well Ironfist is one of the toughest fights. Are you trying this solo? My recommendation is just make sure you knock out the adds when they come, and get a healer.

Preordered after the weekend BETAs, received 5 days EGA, and the launch was smooth; yeah great success from my point of view. I'm sorry others had difficulties but mad props to the devs for pulling this off.
