tadro Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sorry if something like that's been posted before I have seen mixed responses to Baras's character and I would like to know what you think of him In my humble opinion Baras is one of the best SW characters ever In the past we have seen legendary sith lords like Revan,Bane,Sidious etc and some larger than life villains like Nihilus..... but Baras.....he is one of those people who would keep an "evil empire" working like a well oiled machine He is not all-powerful or all-knowing but he is methodical and cunning And his voice rocks!

Elbrop Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I would have his Sith babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartalectwo Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I do enjoy the guy. He's like he EU's Grand Admiral Thrawn meets Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidewalkofPain Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 As a villain, I thought he was an excellent character. He wasn't a totally over-the-top Batman villain like a lot of the other Sith (characters that I tend to find ridiculous - if you kill everyone, you have no power base and no allies). And his voice acting was great, particularly when he tortures the captive on Dromund Kaas...his furious rage when he couldn't break the guy was excellently acted.

Ardim Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I like him. My Sith Warrior hates him and always act insolent towards him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptoss Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sith acolyte, you must fetch me a bowl of cereals within the ancient tomb of tulak horde where it is rumored he once buried a powerful chamber full of cereals that grant those that eat it eternal life. I MUST HAVE THOSE CEREALS!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadsithdread Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 the only thing i dislike is this baras gone from this: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/2/24/Sith_Lord_Baras.jpg to this http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/31/Darth_Baras_Sith_Armor.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthHeir Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Baras was one of those characters I just loved to hate. His arrogant, snotty attitude made me want to carve him a new one so bad and I think that is what really made him such a great character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDemens Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 A BLIND, DEAF, COMATOSE, LOBOTOMY PATIENT COULD SEE HOW AWESOME BARAS IS!!! Only somewhat sorry for the all-caps. But that one line just made me love Baras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoar_gaidin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I loved him. I think the interactions are brilliant and his voice actor is nothing short of excellent. Like the above poster, I LOVED the part on Dromund Kass where he is torturing the Republic Agent. The roar of frustration actually gave me goosebumps.

Wolfninjajedi Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As a character he was done amazingly well...though I still hated him when he betrayed me. At the end I killed him, the 2nd darkside thing I ever did as a LS SW and I felt great about it I killed the bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderAspect Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm also a Baras fan. The comparison with Baron Harkonnen is a pretty good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandelynRain Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well, everyone struggles with the temptation of Darth Mildred's Dark Fudge Brownies... Baras just gave in.

Like the above poster, I LOVED the part on Dromund Kass where he is torturing the Republic Agent. The roar of frustration actually gave me goosebumps. Seriously. If I heard someone yelling like that in real life, I'd be quietly sneaking off the other way. Plus, given that he's usually fairly calm, especially for a Sith...well, it gave it a lot more gravity. If it was just another DARTH HULK SMASH kinda Sith yelling, it probably wouldn't have been as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guildrum Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I like him. The Baras Code... Cake is a lie, there is only pie. Through pie I gain calories Through calories I gain fat Through fat, my belt is broken The recliner shall set me free. But his torturing of that Republic Spy was very well done, I really did feel bad for the poor guy when he was being electrocuted.

apantoliani Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I loved to hate that guy. He was extremely well written for being the bad guy of the warrior storyline. I also enjoyed the part where he calls you sometime before you head to Corellia when you select the dialog option "I'm sorry, do I know you?" There will always be a special place in my heart for that blind, deaf, comatose, lobotomy patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraidy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hey hey hey Baras is not fat. The only reason he seems big is because of all the rage that has built up and he hardly releases it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justadude Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Î too liked the torture scene, but the shoulder pads just ruin it. Breaks immersion for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) I liked Baras, and I liked Tremel too. I actually liked Tremel more, but I have this silly habit of liking people who treat me well I thought Baras's armor was pretty cool; he reminded me of a big, evil, hedonistic judgement pally. The only thing that turned me off to his character was that so much of my story revolved around him that I started to feel like it was the Darth Baras Story, instead of the Sith Warrior Story. (Better that though than the Kira Carsen story, which my husband dubbed for his JK.) Edited February 3, 2012 by grania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellison Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Darth Baras is a fat, fat, fatty fat, fat...fat.......fat. "And now, you must-" "REPEAT AFTER ME. EAT A SALAD." +40 vette affection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfthirteen Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I liked how much I hated the character. Like, the way they scripted him made me feel my character's hatred for him, and I really didn't enjoy him sending me on tasks that he either should have handled himself or warned me that I might nearly get killed (See: Nomen Karr fight). So, yes, I love the character. But I hate him so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
