And Jaesa, Ashara, and Scourge too.

This is true. Even so, nearly all Empire-born Children would likely have a void in their mind where Vitiate used to reside, and I can definitely see the more fanatic ones (i.e. all of them but Kira) wanting revenge for the death of their Father. I mean, we only know of four Empire-born Children total (Kira, Valis, Suri, and Tannac); who knows how many more are out there?

If you stop and think about it, both Valkorion's mother and stepfather HAD to have been Sith, since we know that he himself was one. The stepfather didn't realize that Tenebrae wasn't his until his power in the Force manifested when he was six. If he (and his wife) had been human, shouldn't he have realized the truth the moment Tenebrae was born?

I mean he doesn't believe in light or dark anymore. He says as much throughout KotFE. I just re-read a few parts of Lost Tribe of the Sith (which has some information about Sadow's rule) and there WERE humans in the Sith Empire by that time; it doesn't say when they arrived, but the fact that Ragnos was half-human implies that they were there before he was born. (I actually didn't know that Ragnos wasn't a pure Sith; thanks for that tidbit). However, that does not mean that Vitiate was half-human as well. As for Bane, he still called himself Sith. He taught his apprentice in the ways of the Sith. The Rule of Two was his vision for the Sith Order. Valkorion, after abandoning the Sith Empire, completely forsook the Sith way and embraced a new perspective. I am not denying that as Vitiate/the Sith Emperor, he was a Sith; he most certainly was. However, when he became Valkorion, he ceased to become Sith and became something different entirely.

Vitiate was born nearly a full century before the Sith Empire truly intermingled with humans. And there was always Force-blind (or just really weak) Sith in the Empire; someone had to do manual labour before they had alien slaves, after all. And on the topic of whether Valkorion is Sith or not, he is NOT Sith! 1. He does not follow the Sith Code 2. He does not wield the Dark Side exclusively 3. He created the Eternal Empire because he was dissatisfied with the Sith way 4. He sees the Sith (and Jedi) as inferior to Zakuul and its Knights If he was truly Sith, he wouldn't have abandoned his first Empire, would he?

I imagine that it'll affect the Empire-born Children differently from the Republic-born ones. in all likelyhood, for the Republic-born Children they'll just carry on their lives as normal, as only their Child persona would be affected (and the Child persona would probably be wiped out), but for Empire-born ones... well, anyone who's done Kira's final companion mission knows how merely killing the Voice affected Suri; she was nearly driven insane by that alone. If there are any Empire-born Children still alive though.... they could make an excellent enemy in a future expansion (coming after the Outlander to avenge their 'Father'....)

I agree with this, as it will definitely make GC less painful, Besides, the reasoning for why set bonuses were locked to a particular gear slot is obsolete now that gear doesn't drop in Operations.

She's a Jedi... why would she EVER wear Sith gear? If it really matters, you can always equip her with Sith-y Cartel Market gear. If we'd gotten Hexid, she most certainly would've worn the Empire gear version. Side note, EVERY vanilla companion uses the gear versions of the faction they were originally apart of. For example, on my Smuggler, I can't equip Smuggler gear on Vette because it'll be Agent gear. It's not a big deal, though.

Having gone through KotET with a character who used Valkorion's power in KotFE (didn't kneel, though), I can most assuredly tell you that you can still recruit Arcann and Senya even if you use his power. The only thing that blocks you from recruiting Arcann and Senya is sending your troops after them in KotET Chapter 1 and killing Senya. (You can't get only one; you kill Senya, you have to kill Arcann)

Smuggler Outlander forever!

Good thing neither Valkorion nor Vaylin are Sith (not anymore at least in the case of Valkorion).

Except for Dramath, but he's only there if you don't free him in Chapter 7.

I would like to point out that Ashara does, in fact, approve of quite a few Dark Side options down the road. Particularly on Voss; she really does not seem to like the Voss at all. In her companion convos, manipulative Inquisitors can even get her to the point where she is, in effect, a Sith, albeit one who hasn't admitted it to herself yet. Kreia from KotOR II has a line that sums Ashara up perfectly; "It is such a quiet thing, to fall. Yet far more terrible to admit." Did I mention that she approves of killing Voss?

To me, it looked very similar to the technoliths you find on Iokath. My best guess is that the monolith in the Dark Sancuary is an older-generation technolith. I mean, the Gravestone was away from Iokath for how long? ARIES undoubtedly upgraded everything on the planet over the course of that few thousand years.

Vitiate was always a Pureblood at birth. The Human fought in JK Chapter 3 was a Voice of the Emperor (aka not his real body). The Voice in JK Chapter 2 is the Voss voice that Warriors free on Voss (you don't see this Voice's face as it would be very confusing as to why he's a Voss in Chapter 2 and a human in Chapter 3, and knowledge of the Voice of the Emperor was Warrior-exclusive at the time)
