I'm hard to pin down. I don't really care for the current SJW nonsense with cultural appropriation, safe spaces, and letting transgenders use different gender bathrooms. I oppose hounding places like cake bakers, and wedding photographers. I think Brendan Eich was unfairly treated. I think the flood of Muslims into Europe is a bad thing.
However, I really dislike conservative foreign and economic policy. I think they fall into the other extreme on social issues, and I really hate Global Warming deniers.
I also hate the current GOP, although I don't actually have any beef with Trump.

KotFE isn't like KotOR at all, the premise isn't even the same as KotOR, and even if it was, it's the exact same developer, which is known for retelling the exact same story for 18+ years. KotOR is just Baldur's Gate in new clothes.
I'm not saying KotFE is like KotOR. I'm saying the premise is almost identical to the one portrayed in KotOR II about the 'True Sith', everything Traya says about them and how she says Revan disappeared because he went looking for them, etc. That premise = Eternal Empire.
And...
I never played Baldur's Gate. 😐

The premise for KotOR II and KotOR are like the exact same thing because it's the exact same story, even sharing the exact same characters. It may seem like they made it up as they go along, but some of these things were established beforehand. The point. And no, it's really not similar at all. The Eternal Empire isn't supposed to be like the True Sith, Revan never even knew they existed, let alone did he ever consider looking for them, kek. Or anyone for that matter. No one knew Zakuul was a thing until they invaded, whereas the Republic knew the Sith existed somewhere out there, they were just dumb enough to think they'd be weak and unable to attack them. Nothing Traya has said about anything has been true about anything ever outside of KotOR II, and I mean literally everything she says has been proven wrong one way or the other. It certainly doesn't match with the Eternal Empire.
Dude. Let's compare.
True Sith
- Hiding in Unknown Regions, allowing the Republic and Revan and Malak's Empire to cripple themselves to attack
- Led by Vitiate
- Centuries in the making
- Nobody knew about Dromund Kaas
- Individual protag attempts to fight and defeat them (Revan)
- Is initially unable to, the True Sith plunge the galaxy into darkness/war
- Vitiate attempts to mind-control the protag and use his power for his own purposes
Eternal Empire
- Hiding in Wild Space, allowing the Republic and Vitiate's Empire to cripple themselves to attack
- Led by Valkorion
- Centuries in the making
- Nobody knew about Zakuul
- Individual protag attempts to fight and defeat them (Outlander)
- Is initially unable to, the Eternal Empire plunges the galaxy into darkness/war
- Valkorion attempts to mind-control the protag and use his power for his own purposes
Lucky you. Doesn't really change my point.
Wasn't trying to make a reference to your point. Was just sayin'. Lighten up a bit.

Let me put it this way. The protagonist after recently ending a major galactic threat and defeating the bad guy with a little help hears that there is a new threat. In searching for the bad guy he finds that the new threat and the old threat are one in the same, a secret better empire on a hidden world, with a god-like being on the throne. The hero, realizing he can't defeat the big bad empire on his own joins the Emperor to find power and understanding.
Which is nothing like KotOR, in case you were wondering. Besides your vague, and pretty incorrect, generalities, I'm not seeing the similarities here.

Someone recap the state of the forum for me as of late Feb 2016.
KMC has banned all new registration essentially condemning the forum to a slow death and exiling all who reside here to slowly decay into madness ( those who aren't already ).
Shitposting has reached an all time high.
SWTOR wanking has reached unprecedented levels.
90% of the forum has boarded the Bane hatetrain.
Ant was banned so I can't even find mild amusement here anymore.

Good. This place should wither and rot in my absence.
Shitposting has reached an all time high.
Also good.
SWTOR wanking has reached unprecedented levels.
That seems ominous. Monitor the situation closely, my disciple.

Only 90? mmm
We must bolster recruiting efforts. Free boarding passes for everyone on this most special train.

Intriguing mmm
What trespass did the child commit that the authorities would punish him so harshly?
