Kreia: Not so bad if you think about it.

You know i've played KOTOR and KOTOR II countless times, and each time i do play KOTOR II i can't help but think that Kreia is not the kind of villian that Sith Lords (or in her casy Lady) are usually associated with. Think about it.

First look at her teachings:

She teaches that both extremes are bad, and one should not be reliant on the force as the Jedi and the Sith are. She basically, through the exile proved that one does not need the force to live.

Her ultimate goal was to destroy the force (this is where i think the Villany argument might come in), but she distrusted it, and saw it as manipulative. Since she proved one can live without it, and it was more trouble than its worth she was doing the galaxy a favour, she wanted to stop the needless killing peroptrated by the force that was trying to achieve its balance. And she did it not for herself, but for everyone (she was willing to sacrifice power, not a Sithly trait).

So can we really call her a villain?

 

Yeah.

She does try to kill you.

Thats pretty villainous.

 

I guess you could see her in the grey area of the argument. Sort of like Jango was just doing his job style. from a different point of view i guess anybody can be good.

 

She attacks the Exile but I don't think she wants to kill him/her, because they're too important to her plan, and she basically loves the exile like a mother loves a child from the conversation options at the end.

 

she does manipulate you though.

 

Kreia = manipulative old *****.

NP edit: You need to star the words out completely.

 

Kreia = my favourite Gray Jedi, she's not Sith, and she's certainly not a lightsider, she's like a more crochety Jolee IMO.

 

Calling Kreia a villain seems a bit...harsh. Good or evil, she's definitely one of the more interesting characters in SW.
