No, I was pointing out that if you make a couple choices that leave you slightly off the mark, you can fix it to get to where you need to be, thats totally within the limits of the issue, unless you want to make gear that is unrestricted(will end up with hundreds of identical jedi) or make gear specific for each level of light/dark. For neutral, you have 2000 points of leeway(total, 1k each direction) and I DO think that there should be alot of high end rewards for being dedicated to a path. But then, I play a force user, and it DOES mean alot to my character. A non-force user should have equal gear, itemized for them, that are not alignment restricted(easy, make sure it gives bonuses that are mainly useless to force users) to free them to make realistic choices. Honestly, a force user is always going to follow alignment if being played right, even the the alignment they are following is neutral, so that is where the issue should be as far as neutral specific gear, not on the tech users.

You can easily grind alignment in the game, especially end game. Just blitz BT/Esseles over and over solo, or run a bleepton of diplomacy missions, so fixing your alignment isn't a huge issue(tho annoying during the leveling portion of the game, and gamebreaking for people who came because of the painless grind here). To me its an issue of being able to play my character the way I see her, and still compete with those who went cookie cutter.

Probably depends on your playstyle, the ones I glanced at seemed to provide the same bonus when used as the non-pvp ones give when combining the use and the base, so your stat spikes will be the same, but you will have higher baseline endurance(since your gonna get one that gives end as its base stat, simply for pvp). Might wanna go over to the pvp forums for a more accurate assessment tho, my pvp experience come from eve online, not a wow style mmo, so I am not doing any serious analysis of endgame gear anytime soon.

They aren't as good as non-pvp relics, since they have no stats, only an on-use ability.

It represents whatever the person writing the story arbitrarily this is light/dark at the time of writing. My ideal interpretation is that lightside/darkside are personal thing, and have to do with personal morality(which is pretty standardized when everyone is raised from a very young age inside a rigid religious structure, ie the Jedi Temple), but thats not something that can be worked into a game like this due to mechanics. Tho, they could tailor it if everyone took an exhaustive psychological profile during account creation, but then, who would do that

I've heard that, but no one seems to be able to provide a link to it. You also have to ask, when?

You don't pvp much do you.

remember, the clones were altered to suppress the individualism that mandos prize. mandos themselves hated the clones, and felt jango had betrayed them by allowing himself to be cloned. Based on KoToR, if clan Ordo rejects the Mandalore, Then they simply do not acknowledge he is mandalore. Those who follow him will try to kill them, but hey, thats not a bad thing to a mandalorian

v0v Its still presented as a viable option by Bioware, so my point there stands And the only relics I've looked into are the pvp relics, and I understand they are terrible at 50, you should stick to the ones from level 40

No one seems to be complaining about the restricted gear, exactly. The problem is that neutrality is a goal for some(reinforced by the sith revanite quest chain that tells us that great power can come from walking both light and dark paths, like Revan), and for others, their natural choices leave them stuck in the neutral zone. As far as relics... You get how many datacron matrix relics? Only 1 iirc. And how many slots for relics? OH!! 2?!?! So by going neutral I gimp myself. EVERYONE will have the Datacron relic, as well as a high end aligned relic. So where is the great power Bioware promised me for following in Revans footsteps and going grey sith?

Just FYI, Clan Ordo has provided a few Mandalores over there years. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clan_Ordo So if they are siding with the republic, it means they seriously question whether the current Mandalore is legit, and if they do, others are likely to question him as well.

Most of them aren't this ambiguous, there are just a few

No, he wasn't. Its just that his kind are very reclusive(Lucas has confirmed they are around, but refuses to give any details. They aren't allowed to be named in any way other than 'Yoda's Race'). There was another of his race on the Jedi Council when Yoda joined(Yaddle) and if you pay attention, you will see more of them in a few shots in the PT(one was pink, iirc)

And Mace Windu used the dark side, even tho he was considered the most light sided jedi ever. Darth Caedus(Jacen Solo) turned to the darkside so he would have the power to pull the galaxy through to a lighter place, which would be a form of self sacrifice, yet he died a Darth. Some people do believe that the ends justifies the means in a good way, and you have to remember that morality is subjective, and very rarely black and white. That particular philosophy is one of the most grey you can find.

They be trying, I've had a couple of threads I posted in closed with a comment that there is another thread about it, and a link to the thread. Takes time, tho, and there are more artards posting than mods locking.
