thewatcheruatu Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've been thinking to roll a character on a different server. Jedi Knight is the only class I haven't played at all yet, but I was thinking it might be sort of fun to play an "alternate universe" version of my Sith Warrior. Kind of a "what if he'd been recruited by the Jedi instead of the Sith?" The character's defining trait is basically his narcissism. He's not cartoonishly evil, but he can be cruel just as a result of his sort of emotional detachment from other human beings. On the Sith side, he has actually turned out to be thoroughly grey--he makes a lot of light side decisions largely as the result of simply not caring. Anyway, just curious as to whether or not it would be possible to shoehorn a personality like this into the Jedi Knight storyline. Any thoughts?

clearsighted Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 That is pretty much is the whole dark side storyline of the Jedi Knight. Being a narcissistic ***** rather than true evil. The Force was with me, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuglerrun Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well i think thise choises are pretty funny. While the lightside choises have the problem of being extremely forgiving and have to tolerate just about any sort of evil. The darkside choises have the problem of giving you borderline psycothic options. Sometimes even the good and decent thing is the darkside option. So i can see the developer have had lots of fun semi pushing the players around with the light, dark rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewatcheruatu Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hmm. I may just have to try it out for a few levels and see how it feels. I sort of liked the dichotomy of options for the Sith Warrior. Usually the difference between dark and light is being a real sadist versus being a little more wiley.

iCanUseTheForce Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I actually find most of the "dark" Jedi choices to be pretty interesting and not exactly cruel, but generally more realistic. I play my non-force users more neutral, and it makes the characters more believable, as opposed to good/evil to a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewatcheruatu Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've gotten to around the end of the Tython arc with my dark-side leaning Knight. To this point, I've been making almost exclusively dark side options as a result of the fact that my character is an inveterate opportunist, so he ends up squeezing a lot of characters for rewards, etc. I kind of don't want to do exclusively dark side options, so I've put myself through some logical contortions to explain why he wouldn't just be blatantly evil all the time. I mean, he isn't evil, really. He just understands that he has power over others and thinks he should be rewarded for his time and...occasionally, his mercy. I actually kind of like the options available (especially because almost none of it is becoming of a Jedi Knight, and I didn't really expect to be able to play this way), but at this rate, I'll be dark V before I know it.
