sanguiniu Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Why at the ending of eternal throne was there no light side emperor choice ? You got evil overlord emperor or federation . I wanted to rule as an enlightened ruler. Kind of like inquisition you are a nice guy but no one doubts who is boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monumenta Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It doesn't matter because endgame has you as neither, you are a galactic mall cop putting down tiny seemingly inconsequential uprisings, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyFlynn Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I think it was LS; Peacekeeper, DS; Emperor/Empress. I too would have liked a LS Empress option however given the Star Wars history, I think Emperor/Empress is mostly seen akin to 'evil dictator' so they probably felt that wouldn't work and for Jedi especially (unless you play them really dark) being any kind of Emperor just wouldn't work hence the Galactic Peacekeeper thing instead.

I wish I hadn't destroyed the Star Fortresses. If I'd left those I could have crushed the Hoth and Tat uprisings so easily. *Clicks Button* *Rebel Scum die* *Sips Hot Chocolate and enjoys Life Day with Ashara/Nadia/Kira/Jaesa* Seriously, where are my Inq, Con, Knight, DS SW lovers? I care more about that than the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just lazy.. a Smuggler can be LS and would rule just fine . Ok so maybe Jedi doesn't fit the ruling critera... But hell...lazy is lazy...... They are afraid of hurting that dialogue wheels....too many branch and it crack lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taramayne Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) I believe it is because, at its core, Star wars is a classic good vs. evil space opera. The light side is the lawful/good paladin shiny happy goodness justice hero.. The dark side is the chaotic evil greedy sadistic mastermind villain.. So the dialogue choices reflect that viewpoint. It was pretty much the same with the inspiring/oppressive speech choices the character gets on Odessen during ch. 9 of KOTFE. My Inquisitor would absolutely take the throne, but she would NEVER give such a provocative and oppressive villain speech like that. It would have been nice to have a more neutral "I'm in charge now but I can still work with people" kind of speech option. ..or perhaps just an option to skip the speech entirely and just announce the Eternal Alliance, then roll credits. Either way, the writers are most likely going to have to knock the player character off that pedestal in some way come next expansion.

IoNonSoEVero Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) I would have preferred if they'd had a less drastic choice there too. The Emperor/Empress speech is really oppressive and foreboding, and it seems like SWTOR's devs were taking the tack that there was no way to be a benevolent/non-evil ruler. If you take that choice, later on Indo Zal says that he regrets replacing one tyrant with another, so I guess they ran with that idea. ETA: I just realized how old the original thread was, holy necro there. Edited December 19, 2018 by IoNonSoEVero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
