MrBlackvale Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Exactly what the title says! The devs are saying that there will be a time skip involving carbonite, and that you will meet your companions years in the future. Anyone have any idea HOW MANY years? Its important!

DAWUSS Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 And what are our characters doing in carbonite? I don't think any of mine would have been placed willingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deshiel Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That new empire didnt build itself in a day and those two boys didnt grow fast either so my guess is that the expansion will take place in atleast 20-30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as the Bounty Brokers event proves, you don't have to be willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the twins are leading the attack. So in all likelihood they are the same age as most of our characters. And one of them loses a few body parts while we're frozen. I think it'll be a 5-10 year time span. That way they won't screw over every current romance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the lightsabers they presented are actualy ours. Sith warrior, inquisitor - Jedi knight, consular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typenine Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I doubt it will be long, maybe 2-10 years, Lana still looks young for one thing so not 20 years Edited June 16, 2015 by typenine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlackvale Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 never trust Fido I found that out after I posted that. To be fair, I am new here. This is the first time I've needed to have a lore question answered that isn't found on wookiepedia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funking Bioware and constantly favoring/pushing players to take Sorcerer/Sage over Assassin! Bad enough Nox can't get "Kallig's double saber" but now this?

Bad enough Nox can't get "Kallig's double saber" but now this? Easy there, we don't know for certain they're player-character sabers. Also I really doubt they'd a)show preference to the force-sensitive characters over non force-sensitive ones b)feature anything to do with player characters in an official objective trailer, because everyone has (and is encouraged by BioWare, they make role-playing games after all, to have) their own headcanon. Lots of people go about playing Sith/Jedi classes with vibroswords and stuff. So no worries, yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 my guess is 5-10 years. 20 would be problematic as they'd need to literally reskin our old companions to add wrinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewGoldens Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hmm. What if it's some new/force-infused carbonite technology which completely stops/delays aging? I mean that way they wouldn't have to reskin anything. Save for some non-companion NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your companions either chickened out or retreated to save you another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgpocarter Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Can't be too long. At least 2 years I think. I think carbonite stops aging because in a heroic mission on Taris for the imps you have to kill the Taris leaders that froze themselves in carbonite a long time ago. And in Empire Strikes Back Lando said that Han was alive and in perfect hibernation when in carbonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahl-Vinn Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 42 Another rat and I have just found this guy whose brain holds the answer to the greatest question. Well, he *says* 42, but we're going to cut him open and have a look at his brain, anyways, just to be sure. We'll let you know what we find out, afterwards - assuming everything goes to plan....

Savej Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Where are you getting that are characters will be frozen from? There were several interviews about the xpac with BW top dogs. Someone put them all into a post somewhere on these boards. Or you can go to the source at IGN or a bit more can be found at MMORPG.com. Several reference were made to our characters waking up from a carbonite freeze. Edited June 22, 2015 by Savej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtfaengerin Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I figure you don't age when you are carbonised? My Warrior was already much much younger than her hubby. Oh well, what's another five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yermog Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I figure you don't age when you are carbonised? My Warrior was already much much younger than her hubby. Oh well, what's another five years. Well, if it makes you feel better, Wookiepedia says that most humans live on average 100-125 years, and on more developed planets with advance medical care, they can live to 200. Only the ludicrously rich who can afford highly expensive treatments live to 300. So probably even if he is 5 years older, he's still going to age really well.

VitalityPrime Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I hope it's just a couple years...because I plan to play it off as my Jedi being in a self imposed exile, instead of being frozen in carbonite...as long as the story doesn't shove it in our face over and over throughout the story.
