[Theron Shan in Onslaught?]

didn't get anything on Imp side with Lana either . Dunno if its a bug, or not. I (and others) reported it.

 

Since once I played on the Repb side, I did get a romance scene with Lana . But none on the Imp....

 

You can definitely get one on the Imp fleet at the end with Lana. I don't think there's even a way to piss her off like you can with Theron.

[Malgus mentioning Vowrawn.]

Every class has the option to ask him that, and you ask about Acina if she's still Empress instead. Too bad Malgus' reason for following ended up being pretty lame.

[The Alliance must disband...Now.]

I completly agree with you, As to mandalore the avenger ( Visla) in lore she actually started working with the Jedi...so technically a mandalorian bh, is obliged under mando rules to follow. She is our new warrior queen. The old king is dead. Where mandalore goes..we follow. Its why my Mando Bh's all went and helped the pubs. Plus, she is a merc..she really doesn't care about politics..she did care about Torian's ( her husband) clan and why he fought Vindicated. So its a matter of honour. Plus the Alliance is a good thing...why put in all the work just to have it busted up ><. Although really..my hunter really doesn't care about leading the galaxy..she would give it to Shae Visla if she could.

 

lmao if that's the way you want to play it let us challenge her for the helmet.

[The Alliance must disband...Now.]

Torian only wanted to kill his father in order to regain honor for Clan Cadera. I'm sure being called arue'tal didn't help, either.

 

And where pray tell do you think that dishonor comes from?

 

BH is not Imperial. That is said multiple times throughout the story. They may be adopted into Clan Lok, but that is optional and not all BH's are Mandalorian. 6.0 may very well bring the option to swap factions. Clan Lok was pretty much wiped out in the fight with Zakuul and any remnants are scattered, so the BH, if they accepted the offer from Artus, is basically clanless.

 

That's why I said psuedo. Can you name one job you can do for the Republic beyond Janarus' offer? Because I can't. It's not as easy as "oh I guess we're blue now." And fwiw, it's pretty gross that you would just discount an entire part of a class story because it doesn't fit your headcanon hopes.

 

But, all of that is irrelevant because my initial point, that Mandalorian support of the Empire is not universal, still stands, and the whole point of the Crusader's Schism is because several clans wanted to join the Republic and fight against the Empire (even Khomo in Chapter 14 FE would rather attack the Empire than fight for them). This is something you have yet to address in any of your replies aside from trying to obfuscate the facts by saying they lost. It doesn't matter that they lost. What matters is that they wanted to join the Republic against the Empire and that refutes the OP's claim about Mandalorians ever joining the Republic.

 

First off, Khomo talks about Imperial bunkers because they put up better fights than droids and pubs, not because of some past crusade. Second, the schism has been over for a decade. Mandalorians abide by "Vae Victis". They lost, they had the choice to come back to the tribe or die. Only Jicoln chose to continue the fight. That's really the end of it.

[The Alliance must disband...Now.]

Clans Ordo, Itera, Kelborn, and Cadera all opposed Mandalore the Vindicated's decision join the Empire and all wanted to join with the Republic and fight against the Empire. It was a big enough deal that it got its own name, the Crusader's Schism, and was called the war between the clans. You don't think that justifies saying that support for the Empire among the Mandalorian clans was far from universal? Saying that Shae only supports either peace or the Empire, but not the Republic, is a bit of a reach. Especially since Shae has no problem working with, and later joining, a Republic character; a meeting that only occurs after it is set up by a former Republic SIS agent. From what little we've seen of 6.0 so far seems to suggest that that relationship only deepens, too. Further, Shae expresses her desire to be done with war. Something that would never happen if the clans remained allied with the Empire, and her comments seem to reflect that she is well aware of that fact.

 

Also, don't forget that Mandalore the Vindicated never defeated Jicoln. He failed repeatedly. All of his numerous bounties failed repeatedly. It took plot armor to bring down Jicoln.

 

But he did fall, to Clan Lok (or a rando pseudo-imperial bounty hunter) at that, and the rest of the clans re-assimilated under the Vindicated's flag without question before he was even dead. Literally the only one still fighting was Jicoln, and every Mandalorian down to his own son was willing to take his head.

 

As for the mandos ever leaning towards the Republic, why? The only time Shae has worked with the Republic is with the Alliance and the coalition, both times are only because the PC is involved. And if we want to go meta reasoning, what would you tell Mando BH's? "lol sorry but your guys just decided to swap teams :^)"? That's ridiculous. They're tied to the Empire for the rest of SWTOR just by virtue of being a core component of an Imperial class.

[Sorcery Inquisitor Alignment]

LS Inquisitor always feels wrong. Occulus is fine, and Nox is the baseline, but Imperius is just a walking contradiction.

[The Alliance must disband...Now.]

and saying goes 'Once peaked you go all way down'.

 

I agree that the Alliance needs to go away, but this "peaking issue" is only a bad thing for Inquisitors and people who got too high on their own farts. My BH for example went from Mandalore the Indomitable gear for KotFE/ET to Cassus' Neo Crusader look for the new Imp vs Pub conflict. My Warrior on the other hand went from his more neutral Commander outfit back to Sith pageantry to inspire fear in his old enemies.

 

As far as Mandalorians joining the Republic. I guess you forgot about that whole incident involving Torian's father. Mandalorian support of the Empire is far from universal.

 

Let's not go too far. Jicoln lost that fight, and Mandalore the Vindicated decided to continue working with the Empire despite Mandalore the Lessers shameful reasoning for his original support of them. Shae is either leaning towards peace or the Empire, not the Republic.

[The Empire are the good guys?]

An exception that proves the rule.

 

Especially considering how many try to keep the SI down because they are a former slave. Not exactly "good guy" behaviour

 

Darth Thanaton was also a slave at birth.

[The Empire are the good guys?]

Except in the Empire you can be born into slavery with no possibility of self-determination.

 

We watch a slave ascend all the way to the Dark Council.

[Which species, gender, class, and alignment for each story best represent the lore?]

Oh, interesting, i've never read that, i should try next time I create a new pureblood SI.

 

ye, it's pretty sneaky, but its actually been explained from the get. I'm more surprised they never corrected the record considering all the speculation pureblood SI's have gotten since the game was released.

[Which species, gender, class, and alignment for each story best represent the lore?]

But as to why a pureblood would be a slave, i see 2 options :

- the SI comes from a pureblood family who fell in disgrace and ended up as slaves (which seems to be what happened to Kallig's familly after he was betrayed by Tulak Hord)

- The SI is the bastard child of a pureblood noble or Sithlord and a human slave but inherited mostly pureblood traits and was raised as a slave regardless.

 

If you make a pureblood inquisitor and log out then back in before talking to Harkon, the screen says you were part of some other lords powerbase and when he tries some shady **** you get made a slave.

[The Empire are the good guys?]

Uhuh.

Sooo… slavery isn't inherently evil, then?

 

A bit late, but the Sith and Empire wholeheartedly believe in self determination. They just believe you need the strength to grasp it for yourself.

 

"Through victory, my chains are broken."

[Alien Sith Warrior?]

Red Zabraks are from the homeworld of Iridonia, and are known to be more warlike and aggressively dangerous than their colonial, more regular skin-toned cousins. The Sith Empire has used them as mercs and soldiers for a long time. It's not surprising the truly powerful force users among them could gain recognition, not to mention they already have the "I'm pure so I'm better" outlook down since the red skin becomes more notable the closer you get to their homworld. They're one of the few races that actually has enough strength and self assurance to put themselves on even footing with actual OG Imperial and Sith races.

[Was the SW final victory that impresive in the end?]

He was a pretty tough fight when the game was released so it's not like he was made out to be a total pushover. I actually had to go buy gear for Quinn my first time through because I only ever used Vette and his heals just weren't cutting it.

[Risha Romance]

So is it true that Risha

cheats on you with some nobleman?

I understand royal politics and all that but does she ever get involved with him intimatly or just kind of flirting and dinner dates? I was planning on taking her instead of Sparr but this might just make for a good story.
