I agree with most in this thread, the light side choice is so dumb but then again a lot of light sided choices are plain stupid and Bioware never makes the player suffer any consequences for their stupidity. But then again, that's Bioware for ya. I've long since stopped asking for their story choices to make sense. My canon choice is to kill Arcann and Senya. I felt a little bad for Senya but she's an idiot if she thinks her love alone is enough to pardon him of his crimes. Plus it felt much better to wrap up the story with Lana and Theron than Senya and Arcann. However, I did create a toon to romance Arcann cause why not? He was hot before his face got burned. I won't even pretend it makes a lick of sense or that my toon and Arcann should even be alive to have a romance together as I think everyone would be well within their rights to think that my toon conspired with Arcann or something and this was all one big set up or something.

Not really, Most people aren't neutral at all. They just don't think that what they are doing is wrong, or if they do think it's wrong, they'll do it anyway because it serves their purpose. I made choices I felt were right for my character, and other choices were just for fun. Still ended up as Darth Nox. I don't mind Grey characters existing, in a world like SW they are the nail that sticks up. But I wouldn't want SW to be full of Grey force users. I'm already sick of kinda sorta Sith Kylo Ren and kinda sorta Jedi Rey. Sometimes I just want a Darth Malgus MFer. If the Jedi and Sith is getting replaced by people like Kylo and Rey, it's gonna be a very boring Star Wars.

How dare you not embrace the Nox name! You foolish fool! Yeah, I had a problem with the Nox name when I was first given it, but I never changed it and it has grown on me and now I love it more than the other two. I actually hate the fact that no one calls me Nox in game. I just can't get behind the generic Outlander title.

It was just boring more than anything. I also felt more like a bystander and they never gave me any personal stakes beyond "Arcann and Vaylin are bad" "You should be Emporer" "The Emporer is bad" Why the heck should my Nox give a d*mn? Plus it was way too many flashpoints and grinding through enemies. I felt disconnected from the world overall.

I agree with this. Our characters can't go any place but down from there. I personally have no desire to go back to sitting on some dark council listening to Acina after ruling my own empire. Especially knowing that Darth Nox is far more powerful than her in general. I even think it would have been a good idea to make us create a brand new character for any new expansions if they wanted to go back to the Imp vs Pub. But yeah, I'm okay with the game ending at KotET.

It was successful for not being DA2. Not much of a high bar there.

I figured this could be the case. EA isn't interested in story games so closing an MMO sounds about right. They probably want to put that talent into Anthem or some other multiplayer game. I knew the moment I got that crappy Andronikos reunion that only the laziest effort was put into the entire thing. Like it was just slapped together. Not to mention this guy told the truth about BW before, so yeah. It's easy to believe this is the case.

I agree, I can't believe I logged in, had a 2 min chat and logged off. lol!! Don't expect much from Ashara's return.

It's in the Companions & Contacts section. One of the alliance alerts called "A Pirate's life" or something like that.

This is why I've never cared about BW's canon choice because I never choose "right" and also BW tend to go for the typical uninteresting and cliche choices. The LS Jedi Knight is the typical Star Wars hero and so it wouldn't shock me if he was the chosen canon hero.

I agree. Yeah other force classes can have a history with the Emporer but it's a history Vitiate had buried. Valkorian was prepared to move on beyond the Empire and Republic, it makes no sense to hang on to pawns (Sith Warrior) et al. The SI had no prior history with him, plus a body that is capable of housing spirits with the possibility of immortality. Why waste time trying to convince old enemies and a tossed away pawn to trust him when a possible immortal body with no prior baggage is waiting for the taking?

Valkorian and Arcann- I never felt connected to any of the villains I faced as the SI. I love the SI story but I felt like something was missing from Zash and Thanaton. Like there were missing scenes or something. It was hard to buy the relationship with them. And I only liked Zash after she was inside Khem (I choose to help her keep the body). I never understood my SI's subconscious "desire" to have Thanaton view him like his child. Or Zash liking me. All I did was run errands for them and then they tried to kill me. With Valkorian, I at least had time to talk to him, whether I trusted him or not I got a chance to develop and define my SI's relationship with him and I even wanted him to be my SI's father even though I didn't trust him. especially when he tells the Outlander that he is a part of him he wishes to keep. I sort of thought it was leading to that reveal. Arcann- I wanted him dead but I also felt bad for him and was able to express that. With Arcann, he was jealous of me but it also wasn't personal. Actually, I agree with Arcann wanting to kill my SI or lock him away until Valkorian could be killed. Valkorian was too dangerous to just let roam about, even in my SI's head. It's hard to take it personal with him and I don't care nearly enough about the Empire or Republic to care if he was bombing them to sh*t.

I always side with the Empire. The Republic didn't lift a finger to help against The Eternal Throne, now they demand I break an alliance to help them? I wish my SI had force choked Malcolm right then and there, but for some reason, he keeps forgetting he can do that. As for Acina, I hope I get to betray her just like she tried to do the alliance. Personally, I would have preferred using my fleet to bomb them to hell and back, but whatever.

If I had to choose, I would just kill off Theron and keep Lana. Even though I like him more than her and he's my SI's LI. First of all, I can't rationalize my SI trusting him to remain a member of the alliance or taking him back romantically. Even if the whole thing was a ruse. What would happen if he feels the need to do this again, is he supposed to be trusted every time he goes off to "betray" the alliance? And what message does this send to everyone else? That the Emperor can be openly betrayed and played for a fool? That the Emperor isn't trusted to handle opposition? Or that it's okay to run off and do whatever you want as long as it's for the good of the alliance? I killed Jorgan and Koth for disobeying me, I can't justify keeping Theron alive, especially at the expense of losing someone exceptionally loyal like Lana. If it is a ruse then I would at least like the option to give Theron a more "in the field" role like the Spectres from ME. In which case he would be kept far away from the inner circle, at least publicly.
