Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire

Started by AncientPower70 pages

Welcome to bioware storytelling, all PCs have to be the ultimate saviours of the universe:

Revan
Shepard
Warden
Hawke
Inquisitor

The only exception has been Jade Empire.

No, you're still the ultimate savior in Jade Empire. About half the endings involve you becoming Emperor even.

"The Outlander" is kind of a hilariously blatant copy of their previous system though, lol. Bioware repetition for the win.

The only people on that list that is the ultimate savior of anything is Shepard and the Inquisitor. You also forgot Gorion's Ward, but that's okay because their story is basically the same as that of any other Bio protagonist, with the added benefit of being a literal demigod.

Why would we be worried about that?

Because the last thing we need is more protagonist wank? Just a thought.

What game were you playing? Hawke was not the savior of the universe 😆

-Was a contributing factor to the start Mage-Templar War that ripped Thedas apart at its foundation.
-Unwittingly unleashed an ancient Darkspawn magister that proceeded to easily amass an army because of the war that was going on.

Basically, Hawke shits and the Inquisitor wipes.

They even brought that up in Inquisition where

Spoiler:
Hawke gets taunted about the fact that nothing she's done has ever accomplished anything other than get her family killed.

Ok but on the other hand it helps me win versus threads so yeah.

And a few of them really need more exposure to cement how good they are. The HoT especially.

What they really need actually is an actual representation of the characters....but that's just me, of course were not gonna get that ever considering the way things are going. But that's just me, I find it hard just going off of simple cutscenes and vague details of fights and so on, without knowing what actually happened in a fight.

If you start out a new Outlander, you're still one of the original 8 characters right? I mean don't they still have the same companions?

I don't think there is one "Outlander" considering that. Although that raises the question of what happens to the other 7 classes in the story. Does only one of the characters survive?

Yes, the Outlander, even the new one, is just one of the base classes. You don't start as the Outlander, it's just a free level 60 character, and only level 60 characters can begin the expansion. Honestly, it'd be pretty funny if they still made you do the starter planets.

See, I was trying really hard not to say, "People like you wanking the HoT," because that would be a lot less passive than aggressive.

I was generalising, they always have to be the lone hope of whatever.

Most current companions survive, and you can recruit cross-class companions now.

I'm already thinking up my Assassin's dream team. I want Doc, Kalyio, Vette, Risha and Jaesa mmm

Mainly because Doc and Kalyio know each other, and Vette and Risha grew up together. Plus they're all badass tbh

Doc's a bit of a creeper tbh. He'd probably explode surrounded by that many smokin' hot women. I'd prefer Lokin. Also no Khem!!!? Blasphemy!

Recruiting cross-class companions sound pretty fuggin nuts.

Yeah, I'm guessing only one of the protags canonically survives.

Surely it makes most sense to be Nox then?

Can't die, would feasibly join Vitiate, makes sense...

Nah, the HoT makes the most sense with the Vitiate connection, being arguably the "main character" and being in the trailer and promotional art. And with Scourges vision arguably left unfulfilled.

Except the joining Vitiate thing is probably the non-canon way to go, Sel.

My dream team would be Scourge, SCORPIO, Khem, Kira and Lokin btw.

I'm picturing Khem's reactions to following a Jedi and it's hilarious. Maybe I should try to pick the most dysfunctional teams for each class. Like Quinn following the Smuggler, lol. Or M1-4X and the Inquisitor.

Scourge and the second Wrath?

Nadia and the Bounty Hunter, Pierce and Havok, Corso and the Agent?

Haha yes this is amazing! Game redeemed!

Rusk and the Sith. Bowdaar and Qyzen on the same team. Skadge and the Consular. Xalek and the HoT. Kaliyo and Havok.

Ashara and a Jedi might be really interesting/awkward though. Jaesa too. mmm

My dream team is Darth Marr and just Darth Marr.
