TwistedTony Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Bioware stated outright that the assassin and sorcerer were based on maul and sidious. What about the sentinel and marauder? I can't remember if they said the warrior was based off vader or just the juggernaut. I'm just curious is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolakoo Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Bioware stated outright that the assassin and sorcerer were based on maul and sidious. What about the sentinel and marauder? I can't remember if they said the warrior was based off vader or just the juggernaut. I'm just curious is all. They were talking about the story, not the in game playstyle. The warrior is supposed to be like Vader, and the inquisitor is supposedly like the two characters you mention...in reality they just brought these names up for hype. The Inquis story feels nothing like being Sidious or Maul....more like being Darth Bane's apprentice or something. So Sentinel/Marauder aren't any different. They are included when the devs said war is like Vader (Mara/Jugg) and JK is like Anakin (Sent/Guard) Edited October 23, 2013 by Joolakoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Qui-Gonn Jinn is the epitome of Guardian IMO. Anakin, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolakoo Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Qui-Gonn Jinn is the epitome of Guardian IMO. Anakin, not so much. This is somewhat hilarious considering they mentioned qui-gonn as the model for Consular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This is somewhat hilarious considering they mentioned qui-gonn as the model for Consular. I know. Honestly, I assumed early on that the all-knowing Consular would be more in line with an old Obi-Wan Kenobi or Master Yoda. But then again, they also said that the Sith Inquisitor storyline, which I love, would be for the ones aiming for the Palpatine experience. Right...

AlrikFassbauer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I wonder what Obi-Wan would be, then ? I mean the later Obi-Wan, the one of ANH+ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianDmitruk Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Qui-Gonn Jinn is the epitome of Guardian IMO. Anakin, not so much. I could definitely see Anakin as a Sentinel, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedTony Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 technically, Anakin was a textbook Vigilance guardian as he was a master in the djem so style of shein form. Which is what exactly the vig guard does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalityPrime Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Qui-Gonn Jinn is the epitome of Guardian IMO. Anakin, not so much. I always pictured Kenobi. Especially since he clearly uses the Soresu form after episode I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelefantos Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Well, talking about movie characters, Anakin's 5 seconds of glory wielding 2 Lightsabers definitely counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Inquis story feels nothing like being Sidious or Maul....more like being Darth Bane's apprentice or something. I disagree, sorcerers behave like Sidious, blasting people with lightning for one. And watch ep. 1 again, Maul travels around the galaxy being mostly unnoticed despite having a red head with spikes. So Sentinel/Marauder aren't any different. They are included when the devs said war is like Vader (Mara/Jugg) and JK is like Anakin (Sent/Guard) Vader/Anakin clearly are Mara/Guard resp.

Blasting someone with lightning isn't a story element significant enough to say that it makes the inquisitor story like sidious. The inquis does NONE of the scheming that Sidious did. Darth maul traveled the galaxy unnoticed...very true, but he didn't travel the galaxy looking for ancient tombs and spirit ghosts...he was killing mofos. (I don't watch the cartoon series so IDK what he does there, but ill guess and say Bioware was talking about movie maul not cartoon). ....also...how is vader a marauder? he would obviously...i mean obviously, be a juggernaut. That is if you're making the distinction between class specialties..which i wasn't. Edited October 25, 2013 by Joolakoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelefantos Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 (I don't watch the cartoon series so IDK what he does there, but ill guess and say Bioware was talking about movie maul not cartoon). He kills a bunch of people, does some scheming, kills some more people and then fights Darth Sidious. You should watch the episodes of TCW he is in, those are actually pretty good.

bionamaster Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Here is my estimation of what the ACs are (not basing it on their weapon preferences, only their style): Jedi Sentinel: Anakin Skywalker Jedi Guardian: Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Sage: Master Yoda Jedi Shadow: (unsure) Vanguard: Commander Cody Commando: Captain Rex Scoundrel: Han Solo Gunslinger: (Unsure, possibly Lando Calrissian?) Sith Juggernaut: Darth Vader Sith Marauder: General Grievous Sith Sorcerer: Darth Sidious Sith Assassin: Darth Maul Powertech: Boba Fett Mercenary: Jango Fett or Cad Bane Operative: (unsure, could be the spy from Mos Eisley) Sniper: (unsure, could be Tarkin). Note that this uses only characters from the show and movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highborne Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Bioware stated outright that the assassin and sorcerer were based on maul and sidious. What about the sentinel and marauder? I can't remember if they said the warrior was based off vader or just the juggernaut. I'm just curious is all. Here's how it goes for the Sith classes: Assassin - Maul. Sorcerer - Sidious & Tyranus (note that many Sorc 'sabers are curved-hilted, in a nod to Tyranus' distinctive style). Jugg - Vader. Marauder - Ventress. For their mirrors, the Jedi, the only ones I've been able to identify clearly are: Sage - Yoda. Guardian - Kenobi, Windu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
