Nice :)

 

Anyone taken a look at the new FP on the PTS? I think Darth Rivix (along with Darth Krovos) is supposed to join us for that. I'm currently installing the PTS - if there's anything Rivixy I'll post (in spoilers).

Thank you! :)

 

And do tell! I was considering installing PTS for that, but didn't get to it.

 

I assume the not-Elara Jedi is for the Pub side.

Yes she is.

 

I've given up on attempting the PTS as it's stuck at the install stage and I cba trying to find a way to fix it. I've not had this issue before when when installing the PTS. No early Rivix for me :(

All right then, PTS download commencing! (Let's utilise that new shiny fiber I upgraded to this month :D)

 

ETA: Nah, PTS won't reveal anything. Only vet FP is available, so unknown who would be the NPC comp we take with us.

I have lovely fibre optic too but I've lost the will to live trying to solve problems with swtor installs, though since it's non story I'm missing nothing. Pity about no glimpses of Rivix.

haven't done it yet, but if someone does, make sure to use the spoiler tags :p

 

 

*I did download the PTS, but just to check the new vendor, and new deco's coming out...lol

Darth Rivix is a fascinating, unique character. Willing to bet he's a Zeltron.

 

Hopefully we get him as a companion (he's way more interesting than most) at a time of a Zeltron species unlock.:)

Indeed. Whilst I do have soft spots for many companions, I'm really hoping they do great things with Rivix. The last interesting companion imo was Paxton Rall who is hilarious when you speak to him in the various cantinas (even after you've done the achievement). But he's not interactive in stories; hopefully Rivix will be.

I'm linking your thread about Rivix with a lightwhip because (at the risk of being reprimanded): LET THE WHIP RELATED SHENANIGANS BEGIN!!

Well, I very much hope that Rivix will be romanceable at some point. I kinda need male sith character romance 😅 Also poor Theron is killable and I do not have hope of seeing him much in future content, so some 'alive for everyone' male romance would be nice...

problem with Rivix (for me anyway)

I don't trust him -- and if Zeltron, I really don't trust him

 

And I have dear Theron to romance, so I will stay loyal to him

i think they need to kill Lana and replace her with Hexid / Ranus

 

Rivix...IDK why the echoes of Oblivion didn't involve him. or the mando part. and where is that Commodore Pardox or whatever her name is. like tf.

I feel like Aygo will die of the old age before Pardox replaces him lol. And yeah, concerning Rivix, I don't understand why introduce character in the story and not use him afterwards. It was similar with Malora who looked interesting but dissapeared without trace after Ossus.

I think Darth Rivix was left out of Echoes of Oblivion because he wasn't really part of that storyline; he turns up as a liason between us and Acina or Vowrawn. It makes sense to me that he'd be part of any later storyline involving Malgus. As for not being part of the Mando thing that also makes sense as we have Mandos already in our alliance (Shae and Torian if you let him live) plus we allied with the Mandalorians in a previous chapter. I wondered why Indigo wasn't included (he's just mentioned), but that's a whole new thread!

Having just read the Darth Rivix Wiki I saw that he addresses you differently if you rejoin the Empire. Most of my 60+ alts remained separate - only one of my Sith Inq's rejoined the Empire and I boosted her straight to KotFE. I now need to make 4 new characters of each class to rejoin the Empire for reasons of Rivix addressing me with my original class earned titles :D

  • 4 weeks later...

Ran the new FP today on my character that I've been holding out on for a Rivix romance and there were some interesting things:

 

Rivix displays abilities that look light sided like a Jedi Sage's or very similar to Arcann's Zakuulan force abilities rather than sith-like. This led to lots of conspiracy theories about Rivix in the FPs general chat. Rivix's past must be quite interesting especially as it's mentioned he seems to know a lot about Jedi history. Some people wondered if he's a Jedi spy. I hope not, well not unless we can turn him.

 

There's a briefing after the new FP in which you meet up with Rivix, however he's busy briefing Empress Acina (or I expect Vowrawn if you went with him and doesn't notice you which makes him jump which is quite funny considering he's supposed to be an evil sith!

 

The are hints that he may well become a romance, here are some screenshots:

That Rivix says "I can guarantee that you and I will be spending a lot more quality time together" sounds promising :D Maybe the devs did listen to us after all. Unless they are planning yet another betrayal and Rivix will be holding us captive instead (nope and booo to that)

In a spoiler too:

 

 

 

I noticed the Jedi abilities and worried that they may even kill him off in this FP, especially since he doesn't have any battle cries or comments when given a gift, as other companions do, but when I played the Pub side I realised he's just copied over from Arn's abilities. They're exactly the same.

 

I absolutely loved him. I took the flirt on many characters, but also yelled at him for hiding things, and if you think he's jumpy when you startle him, choose angry (bottom) options. :D There's enough time to escape and re-do the scene for the character's personality, but it's SO WORTH seeing at least once. It's even more hilarious, since he's so small.

My main, Mahiri is romanced with Theron so tries to do light things even though she's dark. I did the angry options on her with Rivix because he excluded her and went against her instructions. The angry walk-right-in-his-face thing during the briefing is hilarious! It looks like he's visibly quaking. The part in the FP when Rivix is force choking the trooper and kills him when you tell him to stop is quite interesting. It's like Rivix was overwhelmed by his dark side and not capable of giving any ****s about what you're saying.

 

I was so pleased to see him say that he'll be around more which gives me huge hope for him being at the very least a permanent companion. I was not expecting so much stuff to happen with Rivix as they gave the impression during the last livestream that they weren't going to bother having any romance interactions with him.

 

He also has a write up in the companions list. Was that there before? I don't remember seeing it. The fact that he says nothing when you give him gifts didn't bother me as he's supposed to insta-leap to level 25 and there's currently a bug that keeps both him and Arn at 1. I don't remember Acina or Darth Marr saying anything when I gave them gifts either. I wonder what they'll have Rivix say when we give him gifts when he does become a permanent companion?

Probably something cryptic and shady. Rivix is also now a contender for best hot-voice, even above Quinn, Theron & Aric (O.O) /awaits JennyFlynn-thirst-post

I love the little kabedon scene lol

He looked like the perfect example of "mark me scared and *censored*"

He has very interesting background, I never thought of the possibility of him being a spy. It would be hilarious if it's true and he and the saboteurs find out about each other's true loyalty. But as for now, my imp characters don't trust him a bit even though I really like him.

Not sure what to make of Rivix. When he first appeared I was like oh great another character basically Quinn of the new Dark Council. Think his character is upto more than just being a liason/requisition officer from the empire. He seems to be spying on the what is now the Hand. Almost like his job is to dismantle it or seize control over it himself or put Krovos in charge of it. As the commander/wrath/nox and whatever have had their freedom from the empire for many yrs and i would not be surprised if the empress and/or dark council is actually plotting to seize control through Rivix much like Quinn was tasked was seizing control of the warrior's ship/crew to pass to Draagh and Baras. Just seems like it is going in a very same direction story telling. I dont think his character is actually interesting, but more like they are giving him a more in depth story than some of the characters we have gotten recently and the story will play out probably very well into mid 7. something from the way it is going.

 

Honestly Malgus may have a point about the empire short of maybe a return of Jadus and Xarion finally revealing himself as a major player in the storyline the empire is very weak not quite as weak as the republic is right now from yrs under Sareesh the attacks from Revanites on Tython dismantling the jedi not to mention the characters who left for the revanites, then there is the whole Zakuul arc which made the republic weak. Sure the empire faced many of the same things but the sith were bred for conflict and trained for it. Though there has been a lot of weak Dark Council members and the pool of sith are thin at best.

 

Guess the real question is who kills Rivix the Commander/Wrath/Nox, Acina/Vowrawn or Krovos or is it Malgus himself. Something is going on and it wouldnt be entirely surprising if Malgus doesnt attack your forces as right now they are in the best position to do the most damage out of the republic, empire, hutts and mandalorians.

 

On an additional note it is funny to see all the people like Rivix when there is so many that hate Quinn. Guess what they are the same character in terms of what is going to happen with them. So there are either a lot of people fooling themselves or whatever but Rivix is going to pull a Quinn.

Welcome to the club :D Most of my adoration came most likely from the fact that he also voices one of my most favourite characters in Dragon Age, so it's a pleasure to have more of him to listen. The moment he stepped from that shuttle last year, I was done XD

 

 

 

That part where he kills that trooper... When he holds him, it looks like he had his... private parts in a Force-squeeze. I can't unsee that :D

Well, in my case, I love both. I also don't see the parallel, even when you point it out, I feel it's a stretch.

 

While I don't put it beyond BW writers, it would be *another* male character betraying us, and this would just be getting ridiculous at this point. So I hope they don't go that way, regardless of him being... well... Sithy.

 

I also hope that all those doubts and hints are to add suspicion, but he'd turn out to be actually sincere in his wanting to work with us. That's wishful thinking, because I like the character, I know, but it'd be nice for a change to not have another male team member turn on us. This trick stopped being funny with Theron.

I've said it before - and after hearing what was said by the voice actor himself about romance --

I do not trust him ... never will (and agents, remember what Vector told you ; do you trust Vector or not ?))
