I found Kreia’s “nuance” tedious. I help someone and she’s all “but if you force them to help themselves they’ll be stronger”. Shut up space Ayn Rand
I mean, she’s literally the baddie. She ends up just being another egotistical Sith with a penchant for sophistry.
If anything, she should have taught players that the whole Grey Jedi concept is a bullshit con to lure people to the Dark Side. You don’t get to trade Good Boy Points from feeding orphans for a murder or two of Bad Guy Points to stay “neutral.”
What she means, and perhaps you already know this, is that helping is sometimes not sought, but instead given to the unwilling and not wanting. Growth only occurs in greater steps when failure is an option. Helping stunts that progress.
just like lifting weights. Spot the people who are in danger, let the people who are pushing themselves do their thing. No matter how easy it would be for you to intervene.
Dark side points gained
light side points gained
lost influence with Kreia
gained influence with Kriea
Perfectly balanced
Also the high point of my interest in Star Wars in general. I lost all interest when they deleted the canon and then went full coward-mode with the sequels’ story. There were so many better stories to tell then the same shit all over again
Honestly, I always thought Star Wars would work as a Tales From the Crypt-style anthology, just pump out interesting happenings from across the galaxy as self-contained, 40-minute long episodes and put the meat on them massive bones! I bet one could pull off at least 3-4 12-episode series without even touching The Force.
Star Wars is at it’s best when it gets away from the godamn Skywalkers.
Eeexactly! That ‘dynasty’s’ been going on for so long, it’s narratively ridiculous and boring.
Don’t get me wrong, despite what my initial comment may indicate, I would LOVE to see something which goes in depth into The Force’s philosophy, its spirituality, but that foregoes Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ by its very nature… Actually, no, acceptable Skywalker Lightsaber Fight™ in the original episodes, because those moments were used to punctuate.
Well, the first time they e really gotten away from that dynasty has been Acolyte. Haven’t seen it yet, but judging by the discourse online this might be the last time they ever explore outside the skywalkers
I… I don’t even know what to say anymore.
Well obsidian, you are an odd company, but you make a good RPG.
Now, if it didn’t have that god-afwul boring combat every 50 centimeters… =.=
Games? No it’s the high point of the entire franchise. It might literally be the only time star wars was good imo.
