Yes, if you're looking for a challenge. Really spices things up I found.

The SW Mythos has a defined and known afterlife. Killing people just sends them to an eternal session playing tanglebuddies with every other life form ever to exist. Nothing wrong with that.

Does it?

For the life of me, I can't remember confirmation on what happens to non-Force sensitives upon death.

Don't they just "transform into the Force", losing their individual identities?

that's what i was gonna say. After life is only for force sensitives.

I'm not sure.

I still haven't finished my last playthrough, where my plan is to visit every single location. I have the 5 expansions installed, and haven't touched them. Well over 200 hours in. I finally cheated myself to a 1k weight limit so I don't have to go back and sell things every couple of hours... now I can just explore all night.

Obligatory mom joke.

Edit:


Star Wars is a space opera. Billions, millions, quadrillions, they die all the time in such settings.

Yo can't mourn every death. Nor are you expected to. These are non-existent people who you have non-existent feelings for.

If a character you've come to appreciate dies, if someoen you've come to emotionally invest yourself in is slaughtered or hurt, that's going to effect you more than a bunch of nameless, faceless people kicking the bucket.


This, too. Anakin's evilness is mostly informed evilness. There are so much more intimate ways of describing a fall than what Anakin showed. For example, this is one aspect of Caedus that I actually liked. The early slips, before he starts shooting lasers at trees, are actually rather subtle. Bashing in a criminal's head with the Force out of frustration, fear, and expedience is totally the sort of thing that leads to a hardcore fall. (Of course, the motivations for the fall themselves were utter shit. It was just the early path it followed that I liked.)

Play the DLCs, they're fun. Specially the one that extends the game's ending beyond the credits.

Ahh, Caedus had such potential.

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

I never got Caedus' motivations myself. Going Sith was the only way for Luke not to die, but...... then he tries to kill Luke? Did he ever actually use his 'look into the future' thingy again?

Also, Betrayal was actually a good book I thought.

Yes, at least during the events of Invincible, where he saw a corrupt!Luke sitting on his [Caedus's] "dark throne."

For the record, I like where they're going with TOR. The timeline gives the plot some character (pun intended).

TOR sucks.

I once agreed, and it could definitely improve, but I like the nuance they're giving the Sith Emperor's plot.

It's definitely menacing and multilayered.

TOR's webcomics pretty good. Dunno about the portrayal of the Emperor though. He seems a bit too pretty.

The videos paint him as much more impressive however.

Luke created that vision for Caedus. That was what was beautiful about that series. Luke was all up in Caedus's s*** the whole time and Caedus never knew.

I enjoyed seeing a dark!Luke, but they had neutered Caedus beyond redemption at that point.

they started well. I liked where Caedus didn't actually mean to do the evil things. his torment over his "sacrifice" (which since when does a sith have to make a sacrifice... none of the rest of them ever had to....) it was the second he killed mara and was rewarded with magical powers that the whole thing went downhill. can you say RPG LEVEL UP?

I meant neutered as in "credible threat," not morality.
