  1. Ohhhh really, is it triggered later in the story after Onslaught? I don't think I've gotten much in the way of alerts 🤔
  2. Oh really? Thats possible I guess. 😃 I have literally just finished the Oblivion expansion. My next mission is to help out the Mandalorians, no mention of a romance though
  3. If you skip straight to level 70, can you still romance Kira/Have the reunion moment at the end of onslaught? Or do you have to play through the base game, romance her to a certain point and then go ahead with the expansions, does anybody know? For example.... Can I start the romance and then skip to the expansion? The reason I'm asking is because my Knight main bugged out and for some reason I wasn't able to do the whole Kira Romance and it feels like its completely unsettled my whole story. So If I were to consider making a second Knight I was curious how I would go about it 🤔
  4. I romanced Kira in the base game. When I go to meet with Scourge and Kira and Kira says that she misses the player character I select the flirt option.... But I've finished Onslaught and the resume romance stuff never happens at any point, what the heck? Am I missing something or Is there any way to go back? My game is totally bugged out and I'm genuinely annoyed 😕
  5. I agree. The weird thing for me is I'm not even mad about it, I feel deflated, like the final rasp of air escaping from a balloon. I understand that whoever wrote the expansion story most probably takes pride in what he or she has written, but as far as I'm concerned (and you seem to be of the same mind) the expansion really diminished the character. I was originally opposed to giving Revan a face/voice/gender as I originally played Revan as a female in Kotor. However, after seeing him in the foundry and the Maesltrom Prison, I was taken back by how well the team at Bioware portrayed him. I know some people disagree with that but the fact that he was charismatic and willing to destroy the Empire using his infinite army, that was the Revan from the Manalorian Wars made manifest! People seem to forget that he gave the order to kill millions when they detonated Malacore 5, he had done this kind of thing before. People also seem to suggest that he'd gone mad or that the Emperor turned him into a mad madman, or that he wasn't thinking straight. (even the expansion suggests that) But much to the contrary, he was simply doing it because he thought it was right. 'I'm doing this to save lives, not for glory, I will mourn for the dead and do what I must." He was a chaotic good, a "By and means necessary" kind of guy. That made him interesting and unpredictable. Whether you disagree on that with that or not, well that's up for debate, but like Villains such as "Ra's Al Gul,from the Batman films (Liam Neilson), Revan had conviction, In his hands the Foundry would save the galaxy. Every villain is the hero of their own story and from the original content I personally believed and respected his conviction, his belief that what he was doing was right. You also have to remember that the Republic was backing him and that he had briefed the Jedi Council on his plan...They seemed cool with it. Wars is an unpleasant thing. To add to this he didn't die in the Foundry, he disappeared under suspicious circumstances. "before his opponents could finish the Jedi Master off, Revan vanished in a flash of violet energy" (Wookipedia, On Revan) In some ways id have rather they left it at that as it leaves a mystery as to the character's fate. maybe the force had plans for him and kept him alive? The Force does move in mysterious ways after all As it is, they tell us he died at the foundry in Shadow of Revan... In Shadow of Revan it seems the writers agreed with the ney sayers, as Revan says to the Republic character that "his actions were that of a madman." Were they Revan? You seemed pretty level headed at the time. He was both light and dark. both heroic and extreme. He was interesting, now, he's gone... The whole of Shadow of Revan seems to make everything he's done and what he's gone through mean nothing. He said to the force ghost of the Exile that 'He'd finish what they started." Now, not only has he failed to finish it, he has actually made things worse. The Emperor is on the move and the galaxy is now thrown into a new era of darkness. It makes all his sacrifices, all his losses, feel like they were for nothing and like the ballon example I used before, his story has come to a miserable and deflating end. So now.... In the end, that's it its done. Revan has finally been taken by the darkness as he so poetically quoted before his disappearance in the Foundry. He's a force ghost now and I doubt even Revan can come back from that. A diminishing end for a fascinating character. Imagine if they had done something so anti climactic to Luke in the Original Trilogy? This expansion does feel like a cash grab, if not just on the story alone, the content itself is also lacking as you say. I would have been able to overlook that element if the story were at least satisfying, but it is not. Some may disagree, but hey that's my thoughts on the subject.
