fdbgjfdhjgkjdhsg Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I've been thinking about this and I just realized that Valkorian's son and daughter should be a lot younger than they are. Think about it, the emperor disappeared at the end of SoR and the eternal fleet shows up at Marr's ship about a few months later. Then we are imprisoned for 5 years. So how did the emperor build the eternal fleet, raise a family of kids that are in their 20's and build all the infrastructure on Zakuul in a 6 year period?
Giggiddy Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 You're assuming there are limits to his power...there are none.
PrincessNuri Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I always assumed Vitiate possessed Valkorian's body and took over his life since talking to the mother she says something like "all of a sudden he changed from the man J once knew" He can always teach the kids how to better channel their force powers to greater extent since as Emperor he has massive knowledge of the Force. I could be wrong!
Infidelious Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 He did it long before Zoist happened. Marr even mentions that this is what The Emperor had been doing when he would go silent to The Dark Council for long periods.
NickCrowhurst Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 The Emperor was missing from The Sith Empire for a lot of time. More than enough to set up the Eternal Empire and father children prior to SoR and Ziost.
QuinlanSaathis Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Think about what Marr says to him during the meeting. All those centuries of silence throughout our history, this was your distraction? So lets assume the Emperor's mind at least can occupy more than one space/body at a time and he switches his focus as necessary This is also reinforced by Senya saying when the kids were born he became cold and distant, like his mind was elsewhere... well it was, this period started with the war and then finished when he was weakened by the knight and was putting his plan together for Revan and Ziost.
NickCrowhurst Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 He did it long before Zoist happened. Marr even mentions that this is what The Emperor had been doing when he would go silent to The Dark Council for long periods. Got in before me! And I've just noticed how out of date my sig is!
Keeheen Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 This game no longer belongs in the official Star Wars cannon so I wouldn't stress over any misses.
Swissbob Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) What? A plot hole in KotFE? No.... no it can't be! Joking aside, to me (possibly, there are a lot) the biggest plot hole is the Infinite Fleet. How did this come into being? Who built it? Why, if people millenia ago had the ability to build a fleet that massive, was no other fleet that massive ever built for the entire rest of the Star Wars lore (that I'm aware of, anyway)? When was it built? The whole Gravestone story points to it being around a long time, and if that's true.... Why wasn't it used before? You'd think if you had an infinite, invincible fleet that could conquer the galaxy in a year or two, it would have participated in galactic events before. For instance, all of these centuries of fighting between the Sith and Jedi seems kind of pointless and stupid, when one of them (Vitiate) could have just conquered the entire galaxy and kill anything he wanted to with a fleet that is near infinite and nigh invincible. While I'm at it, here are some other plot holes: -How was the Infinite Fleet/Zakull not found by anyone except Vitiate? -How did Vitiate find it if no one else could? -Why did Vitiate care at all or even put any effort into the Sith Empire for over 1,300 years if he had a better, stronger, and seemingly all--powerful Empire? -What was the point of fighting the Jedi with the Sith if he could beat them easily and swiftly with Zakuul? -What was the point of seducing Revan and Malak when he could've conquered the galaxy? -Why did he not combine his two Empires? Or just put all of his eggs in one basket from the start to have one ultimate Empire? -What is the point of the Light Side and Dark Side dichotomy if the "Zakuul Side" (or whatever it's called) can wipe the floor with both at the same time in a matter of a year or two -Why did Vitiate suddenly stop caring about the Sith Empire? -Why did Vitiate suddenly want to consume all life in the galaxy? -Why, after he did, did he suddenly stop wanting to consume all life in the galaxy? -Why did Vitiate allow himself to be killed? -Why does Vitiate take such a huge interest in our characters to the point of giving up everything he's worked for for centuries even though they are weaker than him by miles? -Why did Vitiate, an immortal being with godlike power, have sexual interest towards a human woman? -If he's not a Sith Lord, and the Dark Side and the Sith Code isn't the source of his power, what is? (Oh, right, the far superior "Zakuul Side") -What was the point in destroying Ziost when he could've just conquered it with the Fleet? -How come Vitiate needs our permission to use his own power when he's clearly more powerful than our characters by miles? -Why, when I allowed him to use the power to kill Arcann, did he not kill Arcann? -How could the Gravestone not ever been found for who knows how long when it was right next to the capital of Zakuul? Wouldn't they have seen it when it crashed? Or just have basic technology to locate it? -How does a starship as colossal as the Gravestone be repaired and flown by just one guy? -Who made the Gravestone? Why wasn't that technology replicated? What was this conflict it had with the Infinite Fleet? Why was none of this known by anyone outside Zakuul? -Wasn't Revan inside Vitate's mind? Why didn't he let anyone know about Zakuul? -If Vitiate is this frigging powerful, how come no other force users in the entirety of the Star Wars lore don't even come close? I could keep going, but most additions beyond this point would mostly just be tons and tons of minute details with similar themes of things that happened in the entirety of SWTOR and KOTOR based on the nonsensical 180 turn of Vitiate's motivations and actions as well as the fact that he could have conquered everything incredibly quickly for god knows how long (decades? centuries? a millinium?).

fdbgjfdhjgkjdhsg Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for the clarification guys. As swissbob pointed out, there are even more though.

Swissbob Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) ITT, people using the term "plot hole" for everything they don't understand or hasn't been revealed yet. Plot Holes can be explained and resolved through the plot. They are by no means final or unresovable. Until they are filled in, however, they are still holes. Just like you can stop up the holes in boat, but that doesn't mean they aren't holes. EDIT: However, if you'd like to use a different phrase, "plot inconsistency," "plot contradiction," "not understood occurence," [fill in phrase here], feel free to do so.

iankalo Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I always assumed Vitiate possessed Valkorian's body and took over his life since talking to the mother she says something like "all of a sudden he changed from the man J once knew" Yeah, me too.
Celeryherring Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 ITT, people using the term "plot hole" for everything they don't understand or hasn't been revealed yet. Yeah, part of the intrigue of the expansion is why Valkorion doesn't really act like the Sith Emperor, that's not necessarily a plothole. I love when he says "Zakuul... was different". Vorthena sees him as a benefactor of the people, etc... I agree that the whole "the brothers were already ravaging the Sith Empire and The Republic but at the start of Chapter I everybody acts like they never heard of each other" thing is a plothole, and you won't convince me otherwise.
Leklor Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 In Swissbob's list, I mostly see a lot of "This hasn't been revealed yet, let's call it a plot hole." -How was the Infinite Fleet/Zakull not found by anyone except Vitiate? For the Fleet, it seems to have been led by sentient droids, if they didn't want to be found, they weren't. What if Valkorion thinks he found the fleet but instead, the Fleet found him? As for Zakuul, it's in Wild Space, a mostly uncharted region of space by the two main factions. An unmapped region is hardly hyperspace-friendly so every exploration took a long time. As for "Why hasn't anyone found Zakuul?", some found it like Choza Rabaat, they just couldn't come back to civilization to tell about it. -Why did Vitiate care at all or even put any effort into the Sith Empire for over 1,300 years if he had a better, stronger, and seemingly all--powerful Empire? It's rather obvious, listening to it. He established the Sith Empire and had quite high hopes for it but it was quickly brought down by overall Sith stupidity and infighting. Then he founded Zakuul. -Why did he not combine his two Empires? Or just put all of his eggs in one basket from the start to have one ultimate Empire? Because the Sith Empire was a failed experiment, it could never had fused with the Eternal Empire without a huge deal of damage required to it's structure. -Why did Vitiate suddenly stop caring about the Sith Empire? Said again and again by Valky himself: The Sith Empire was a failure. They were so focused towards avenging their defeat during the Great Hyperspace War that he never could build his perfect society. -Why did Vitiate suddenly want to consume all life in the galaxy? -Why, after he did, did he suddenly stop wanting to consume all life in the galaxy? Not revealed entirely. I personally assume he wanted to clean the galaxy (Except Zakuul) and repopulate it with his chosen society. As to why he stopped? Apparently, eating all of Ziost triggered a massive change inside of him, he says it in Chapter II. He doesn't fully understand what he is now but munching the whole galaxy doesn't benefit him either. He wants something to do with the Outlander. -Why did Vitiate allow himself to be killed? Physical death means nothing to him anymore. He has transcended the concept of death. And it seems like it's a part of his plan with the Outlander. -Why does Vitiate take such a huge interest in our characters to the point of giving up everything he's worked for for centuries even though they are weaker than him by miles? Listen to Haskel, damnit. The Outlander, like Valkorion, isn't a slave to destiny's whim. He makes his own destiny and Valkorion wants to understand how that works. -Why did Vitiate, an immortal being with godlike power, have sexual interest towards a human woman? Even in Vanilla, Vitiate alluded to wanting to live whatever life he wanted, whenever he wanted. As it happens, he fell in love with Senya because, despite his power, she dared oppose him even when serving him. -What was the point in destroying Ziost when he could've just conquered it with the Fleet? Wouldn't have fueled his ritual. Before Ziost he still seems dead set on galactic extermination. -How come Vitiate needs our permission to use his own power when he's clearly more powerful than our characters by miles? Because he doesn't own our body. He can only channel his power through us if we accept to do it. Provided we resisted, we'd likely die and he wants us alive. -Why, when I allowed him to use the power to kill Arcann, did he not kill Arcann? Arcann says it himself to Vaylin: Valkorion's power has diminished. -How does a starship as colossal as the Gravestone be repaired and flown by just one guy? Maybe because it wasn't really that badly damaged? -Who made the Gravestone? Why wasn't that technology replicated? What was this conflict it had with the Infinite Fleet? Why was none of this known by anyone outside Zakuul? Revelation to come, surely. It's alluded to in the current chapters. As for the reason all this isn't know, already explained above: Unmapped region of space, unknown precise time period. -Wasn't Revan inside Vitate's mind? Why didn't he let anyone know about Zakuul? We only have Revan's word he was inside Valkorion/Vitiate's mind. Maybe we wasn't at all and Vitiate only made him believe he had influence as part of a game. Or maybe he only had access to chosen parts. -If Vitiate is this frigging powerful, how come no other force users in the entirety of the Star Wars lore don't even come close? You mean like the Celestials on Mortis who literally control the very balance of the Force? Or the Force Priestess in Yoda's final arc in TCW?
hadoken Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Plot Holes can be explained and resolved through the plot. They are by no means final or unresovable. Then perhaps you should finish reading the book before judging it.

Veronyka Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Best not to worry about such things too much; it's a story/game with lightsabers and laser guns and talking gribblies
Max_Killjoy Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 these are the Reapers from Mass Effect series. Valkorion/Vitiate found a way to control them Why not, the expansion is basically Dragon Effect Wars.

So how did the emperor build the eternal fleet, raise a family of kids that are in their 20's and build all the infrastructure on Zakuul in a 6 year period? Vitiate was largely absent all through the game. It's mentioned through a couple of the imperial characters if you ask or choose the right dialogue, he's been pretty well ruling jn absentia for a while.

Valkorion said the with empire was a means to an end, Zakuul was always his main focus. He used the with empire to become immortal, that happened at ziost. After that, he was done with them. He thought it would take a lot more after ziost to reach immortality, but it was enough.
Swissbob Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) In Swissbob's list, I mostly see a lot of "This hasn't been revealed yet, let's call it a plot hole." Overall great post! Enjoyed reading. Again, something can be a plot hole and then revealed. People here are buying too much into the negative connotation of plot hole. All a plot hole is is a plot inconsistency. The things I pointed out (with maaaybe a few exceptions) are logical inconsistencies in the plot. They're plot holes. Is this bad? While .... ahem.... "inconsistencies" (if you prefer that term) of this magnitude and quantity are usually not ideal for good storytelling, it's only definitely bad if they are still around by the end of the story. Again, my list is no means final nor do I claim it means the story is objectively dysfunctional, as the story isn't over yet. Okay. Onward. For the Fleet, it seems to have been led by sentient droids, if they didn't want to be found, they weren't. What if Valkorion thinks he found the fleet but instead, the Fleet found him? What gives you the idea they were sentient? They just seemed programmed to follow orders very strictly. While your idea here is certainly interesting, there's a few problems with this. A sentient fleet of this magnitude is a massive, massive introduction into the Star Wars lore, that presents its whole set of issues and questions. -Who created it (and how did they get that technology)? -Why is that technology no longer around? -Why was that technology never again used in all of the Star Wars lore? -If they could create something this powerful and immense, why are they not ruling the galaxy? -How did they lose it? -If it's because they were defeated by something, how, and what is thing that's mroe powerful than the fleet (and apply most of these questions to it as well)? -What is the fleet's motivation for "choosing" a leader? -Why does the fleet itself not conquer everything? -Why, if Vitiate's had this fleet for a long time, did he not use it until now? As for Zakuul, it's in Wild Space, a mostly uncharted region of space by the two main factions. An unmapped region is hardly hyperspace-friendly so every exploration took a long time. As for "Why hasn't anyone found Zakuul?", some found it like Choza Rabaat, they just couldn't come back to civilization to tell about it. How did Vitiate find it? Does he have better space navigation technology then everyone else? Also, if it's so difficult to travel from Zakuul back to the known galaxy, how does Arcann/Vitiate operate a war from there, where ships, troops, supplies etc. would need to be transferred back and forth on a regular basis? In fact, Vitiate simultaneously operated two empires across this "difficult to traverse" space. Granted, he's powerful in the force, but if he could manage the day-to-day of too Empires through the force across that distance, other incredibly powerful force users couldn't even sense it? It's rather obvious, listening to it. He established the Sith Empire and had quite high hopes for it but it was quickly brought down by overall Sith stupidity and infighting. Then he founded Zakuul. "Quickly" = 1300 years? How long did it take for him to realize this? And when he did, why did he stay with the Sith Empire so long? He's operating in galactic affairs all the way up until his big Zakullian invasion (Revan plot, Ziost, Jedi Knight plot, etc.).... so why? You say "then he founded Zakuul".... and yet he continues leading or at least being involved with the Sith for (how long? Decades, centuries, millennia?) If he wanted to leave the Sith.... wouldn't he just flat out leave? Pull up all the stakes, abandon everything and just go? Why still help them cause damage to the Republic etc. for all those years? And also... HE IS A SITH (or was). He fought with them in the Great Hyperspace War. He uses (or used?) the Dark Side for his power. Shouldn't he.... you know.... believe in the "Sith ways"? When, why, and how did he stop being a sith? Because the Sith Empire was a failed experiment, it could never had fused with the Eternal Empire without a huge deal of damage required to it's structure. Fair enough about the fusing them. But why not just put his eggs in one basket? Said again and again by Valky himself: The Sith Empire was a failure. They were so focused towards avenging their defeat during the Great Hyperspace War that he never could build his perfect society. Then why be their Emperor for centuries and centuries? Shouldn't he have seen this early on and just completely left? He sure put a lot of time and effort (hundreds of years worth of it) into what he perceived of as a failed society. Not revealed entirely. I personally assume he wanted to clean the galaxy (Except Zakuul) and repopulate it with his chosen society. As to why he stopped? Apparently, eating all of Ziost triggered a massive change inside of him, he says it in Chapter II. He doesn't fully understand what he is now but munching the whole galaxy doesn't benefit him either. He wants something to do with the Outlander. Well, my credit-loving, flirtatious smuggler sure feels special that the eater of an entire planet has a "special plan" for him. Again though.... are these sudden changes in character unresolvable? No. But they are certainly plot holes as the story stands right now. Physical death means nothing to him anymore. He has transcended the concept of death. And it seems like it's a part of his plan with the Outlander. I mean.... why? What makes my smuggler, my trooper, my bounty hunter, my Empire-loyal agent, my peace loving consular etc. so important to him? Surely he doesn't need my smuggler to enact his plan for the galaxy? If the answer is yes... yes he does.... then I'm VERY curious what Bioware has in store for me. Listen to Haskel, damnit. The Outlander, like Valkorion, isn't a slave to destiny's whim. He makes his own destiny and Valkorion wants to understand how that works. I don't buy this at all. My smuggler is just a particularly lucky and skilled spacer with a good shot. All this talk of "destiny" means nothing to him, and the fact that apparently this guy who transfers illegal goods from one end of the galaxy to the other is a "destiny denying chosen one" just reeks of poor writing. I mean, we'll see where it goes... but the planet eating force ghost being equal to my womanizing space pirate just seems silly. Even in Vanilla, Vitiate alluded to wanting to live whatever life he wanted, whenever he wanted. As it happens, he fell in love with Senya because, despite his power, she dared oppose him even when serving him. Just seems silly that on one end he's "I love you, honey" and the next he's "I'm gonna eat this entire planet and slaughter millions." It just seems like contradictory silliniess. Was Palpatine a loving and caring family man? What about Darth Bane? Marka Ragnos? Wouldn't have fueled his ritual. Before Ziost he still seems dead set on galactic extermination. Fair enough. I guess I'm still not buying into the whole sudden change in goals, but if you buy into that than this question was moot.... so yeah, fair enough. Because he doesn't own our body. He can only channel his power through us if we accept to do it. Provided we resisted, we'd likely die and he wants us alive. Well yeah that's given, but the questions are why and how? This immortal, godlike, planet eating force spirit should easily be able to mentally dominate my smuggler, it seems. Why do you say we'd die if we resisted? Is it because he's too powerful? How is his power so huge that we can't handle it, yet is he not enough powerful to force us to use the power (thus we have power over him?) Arcann says it himself to Vaylin: Valkorion's power has diminished. Apparently. Goes from killing an entire planet to not being able to kill one person right in front of him in the space of a few years. It's just another one of those things we're supposed to brush off, and say "it'll be resolved." Maybe because it wasn't really that badly damaged? Still, to fly it though? How does he fly it? I mean, the Millenium Falcon needs two pilots.... but this giant capital ship? One. Revelation to come, surely. It's alluded to in the current chapters. As for the reason all this isn't know, already explained above: Unmapped region of space, unknown precise time period. I sure hope it is. For now it's just another one of these "There's a good answer, for it, trust us." Meanwhile, the part of my brain in charge of suspending disbelief is overloading. We only have Revan's word he was inside Valkorion/Vitiate's mind. Maybe we wasn't at all and Vitiate only made him believe he had influence as part of a game. Or maybe he only had access to chosen parts. Yeah, that entire plot could have all just been a lie. All previously established plots are seeming to fall to the hammer of KotFE, anyway. You mean like the Celestials on Mortis who literally control the very balance of the Force? Or the Force Priestess in Yoda's final arc in TCW? Okay, fine. But none of those entities were at any point human (I don't think?), like Vitiate.... but I'll give this one to you. OVERALL, great post, as I said above. Ultimately, none of the things I raised are unresovably destructive to the plot. Here's the central problem: When you have massive things in both the plot and characters that are unresolved and unexplained with the "not important right now, you don't need to know yet" excuse, my disbelief and skepticism overloads and gets too hard to contain. Can they come up with brilliant answers to all these... erm.... "unexplained occurances".... yes. Very likely they can. But it's getting pretty deep into the story now, and very little has been made clear or really given much attention at all. The Sith/Jedi conflict (you know, Star Wars at its very core?) that has been going on for millenia has been relegated and shown to be an irrelevant struggle of inferiors under the pure might of "Valkorion" and "Zakuul." It comes down to this: If Zakuul is so infinitely powerful, and has presumably been around for a very, very long time what was the point of letting the Sith/Empire and Republic/Jedi (which I always considred to be the biggest powers in basically all of Star Wars stories) battle it out for hundreds and hundreds of years when it all could have ended centuries ago? This is a very, very crucial question to the integrity of years of Bioware's own writing, and I've just been getting "it's unresolved." Well you're right. It is unresolved. But at this point in the story, with something so crucial just out there, hanging in the air, unresolved, with my Inquisitor just accepting it all without raising any of these questions (not very inquisitive).... I begin to lose interest as so little is explained. Edited November 1, 2015 by Swissbob
