  1. Valkorion has been a Vitiate skin for hundreds of years. He's Vitiate trying something different, nothing more. And it's not like he interacted much with his kids. As for how that works with us fighting the Emperor somewhere else...the Jedi stories and to a lesser extent the Warrior one explain it. Or at least reveal it. Vitiate can be in several places at once via his puppets. No normal physics limitation applies here; he's definitely capable of seeing through and controlling someone FTL across great distances from wherever "he" is.
  2. The factory reset isn't just what Vaylin wants. If you've poked through Iokath's records you will have a pretty good idea what their programming is.
  3. The reason Valk didn't train Vaylin as an equal life form and successor is obvious. Vaylin has phenomenal potential in the Force, far exceeding anything that was assigned to kid Tenebrae. A Vaylin knowing what she is doing with full power and not under his direct control could destroy Valkorion. He does fear this when she shrugs off his attempt to control her with his Emperor Force magic, before he uses the conditioning phrase. Sith mind their apprentices in general but Valk/Vitiate is no ordinary Sith. He doesn't want to risk a successor, period. Arcann and Thexan aren't raised as apprentices either; they know very little of what Valk can actually do.
  4. It's subtle but once Vaylin knows Valk is in the Outlander's head, she starts off every confrontation demanding him. When she decides Valk must be on Voss, that's also when she escalates from just burning the planet to blowing a lot of it away. Vaylin wants revenge and the Outlander finally gives her that with the Holocron. It's about the only time she seems legitimately happy with the Outlander.. Her deciding to deal with Valkorion first makes sense. And I do think that was Vaylin herself because she DOES try to wallop Valk first, he just stops her, while he can't stop the Outlander from doing anything in their own mind. Which would also be the only way to rehabilitate.Vaylin if her spirit survived. Valk ripped everything positive out of her.
  5. Yeah, you cannot tell when SCORPIO is lying, she has lied epically in the past with no/negative regard for sentient life, and the amount of power with Iokath is staggering. She dies.
  6. Much of "Valkorion's" motivation is revealed at his end when he snarls "pondscum" equivalent at his family when they all turn on him. He thinks he is God and this is all his privilege to do and ours to be graced with his presence. He's playing with toys and seeing what happens. It's also revealed that he is flexible. His original plan was to just hijack you in Chapter One of Fallen Empire but you proved too powerful. Everything since then from him has been heavy BS.
  7. I love the part where Lormen and the mercs are talking threats and she just crushes one of them. "Like, really?"
  8. I think you are missing the forest for the trees. KotFE/ET make the most sense as an Inquisitor. It's right in all three of their wheelhouses - able to fight powerful. Sorcerer type enemies, trying to become Emperor and mental combat.
  9. Even at the very end scene, Vaylin doesn't recover. She's just giddy that the Outlander is going to enable her to kill Father and he's obviously afraid.
  10. My Inquisitor shot at their ship for Senya turning traitor but ultimately changed his mind on Voss because he figured Valkorion cared a little too much and was probably lying. This turns out to be right of course. And for the OP, yes, you can claim the title of Emperor and Arcann & Senya will acknowledge it and stand in support at the ending scene.
  11. Even in 2011, there was an awful lot of stuff it would have been silly to forget about. Namely the Sith and how their accent, symbol and ship design got absorbed in the Republic we know in the movies. Star Wars having bad "memory" about this period is nothing new. Same goes for the myriad Sith Lords with Vitiate at the head who would curb anyone in modern day Legends.
  12. Not that I know of. I meant I made sure to add SCORPIO to the bonfire.
  13. Well Iokath was very Mass Effect so maybe that particular type of menace is out there in other places (assuming you were smart enough to kill both AERIS and SCORPIO...). Some other galactic invader, as dangerously close as that comes to SW EU bloat.
  14. Hmmm, maybe Dark alignment Sith don't get it. I know that Light Sith and Dark Sith have different dialogue when they shank Valkorion in the end of Chapter I of Fallen Empire.
  15. It's extra great when your character is Sith or very Dark Republic. That reverse psychology that you are better than executing her..."Nope, see the red saber?"
