TX_Angel Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thread title. It eludes me. It is a girl, too many people here like any girl... She is ok looking I guess, better than some, worse than others... I'd rather have Satele as a companion... She's a Shadow of course, I'd prefer a Sage... maybe she could convert? A heal/dps Sage companion? It would be like Treek, but better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrellma Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Personally, I couldn't care less about her looks. I like the fact that she doesn't fit into the typical "drown everything in a river of blood" mold of most Sith we come across. I like her for the same reason I like Darth Marr. She's pragmatic, with the best interests of the Empire in mind, not her own power grabs at the expense of the Empire like so many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewan Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 People see different things and like different things. That's really all there is to it. If you don't like it, that's fine. No need to goggle at people who are interested in her. You don't like her, move on. I think one of the major draws is that she is the only female Imperial character that female player characters have ever gotten a Flirt line with.

Also, if looks are an issue for you, remember that even somebody as vain as Jaime Lannister can find a soft spot for Brienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtJeremy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It's nice running into a sith that doesn't want to burn everything to the ground. I mean yeah we get it sith are bad. Simmer down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Well, for many empire side players, it's probably the first time they've met a female sith that doesn't want to rip your heart out and eat it infront of you. Also, it's probably the first girl they've seen in-game that doesn't look like a goth convention reject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrutchCricket Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) She's bland. And as someone pointed out in an FP once, she looks like she does coke. And there are female Sith that don't look monstrous or rage all the time. Lachris comes to mind. Also that one from the Smuggler story on Tatooine.

Darth_Wicked Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) I find her character model lacking but aside that, she's funny. Especially Republic side. Edited October 11, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alssaran Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I find her look somewhat blank too. However, there are two reasons as to why I like the character. First: She appears to be a (somewhat) reasonable Sith-Lord. While I think she will not hesitate to burn you to a crisp if you want to harm he Empire, she doesn't appear to be one of those "I will drown this world in flames and blood!" type of Sith. Even Lachris had that. Most Sith woman you meet in this game appear to be maniacs. I mean, lets take a closer look at Jaesa? If you think the Emperor is radical, play through her Dark Side story. Second: She can shut up. She can talk, but she doesn't talk too much. Looking at the other alternatives my Marauder and Sorcerer have to deal with every day, she seems to be downright perfect. (Yes, I'm looking at the Jedi-Padawan and the slave!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 From what I've seen of her...nothing. She is nothing special. For that matter, neither is Theron. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's probably the first girl they've seen in-game that doesn't look like a goth convention reject This is actually a good explanation. I was wondering as well, what is so special in Lana Beniko, because I think she looks a bit weird. Like one of the "dogs" that Carl Barks drew for his Donald Duck stories. You know, with those weird noses, hats and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not subverting the Empire for Light-side points, but simply not being absolutely mindlessly maniacal about serving its interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codedrago Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I just can't stop looking at her hair.....the way it moves and looks just freak me out. Baras would have been more intimidating with that hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaron Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I mean, lets take a closer look at Jaesa? If you think the Emperor is radical, play through her Dark Side story. Ah, my "insane piece of Alderaanian trash". At least according to a certain other companion. But yep, she's definitely a "true Sith", while Lana probably leans much closer to Marr (and even Malgus a bit) with the philosophy that all this infighting will destroy the Empire.

Not subverting the Empire for Light-side points, but simply not being absolutely mindlessly maniacal about serving its interests. Dead center. She's characterized as a "Light Sith" in a way that doesn't serve as shorthand for "Wannabe Jedi who just needs to defect already, but BioWare won't let her." Seriously, they won't even let Sith Warrior players go allegedly "darker than a Dark Jedi" without espousing sympathy for the actual Light Side of the Force. I see in Lana a lot of what I try to see in my Sith characters, and it's neat to finally have that point of view reflected in the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkov Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 As others have said, its her personality and point of view that make her interesting, not her looks. Some of us actually enjoy the "Empire first" attitude she has. I find it especially nice as a compliment to my Operative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us actually enjoy the "Empire first" attitude she has. I find it especially nice as a compliment to my Operative. This fits in with what I see as appealing about her, that and her Morrigan eyes. It is rare to see a Sith that actually has the Empire's best interests in mind when they do what they do. Marr is one, I'd count Malgus, but really, he's more in it for himself: Else, why would he proclaim himself the new Emperor. If it's really the Empire first, wouldn't he look for a new way to "govern"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt-Snake Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) All this talk about light side sith, and according to some ppl a light side sith is what a true sith is... Please please don't make me throw up ugh.. Any way my only concern with Lana is her hair is too bright, and as for jaesa I love her as a sith companion compared to that Jedi filth ashara, damn I can't stand her every time she talks I just want to execute her in the most painful way possible.. And I would take great......great .....great pleasure in her torment :p:p:D:cool: Edited October 11, 2014 by Lt-Snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that "true Sith" who simply go around slicing everything and choking everyone are extremely boring and predictable, even if written well. Those kinds of characters are one note with virtually no narrative potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Marr and Lana have more in common with Palpatine than an Old Republic Sith. You could never imagine 99% of the Sith SWTOR having the self-control and vision required to create what Palpatine did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
