A/V The Old Republic MMO: The New Official Thread

Any one reckon this game will set up the new sith wars befor it finish?

 

Spoiler

I guess I just see very little reason why a Sith who fits the traditional Sith mold ego and ambition-wise (or even less ambitious ones who have come to the conclusion that it's better for everyone if they're in charge) would settle for being an independent ally leading a much-diminished Alliance when they could simply say "lol no you're not the Sith Emperor/Empress, I am." or in the case of Malgus "lol I slapped you down before and I've taken down bigger threats since, bend the knee or I'll finish the job."

They have the power. They arguably have the legitimacy given that they're the closest thing the undying Emperor of the Sith and Zakuul had to an acknowledged heir. They have the connections and loyal subordinates. It's hard to imagine they wouldn't have the will or desire now that the Sith throne is once again the nicest throne to own now that the Eternal one doesn't control an unstoppable fleet of warships.

Bioware can't really let PCs seize the throne of one of the main factions until the story's completely finished without causing all kinds of difficulties, but they've written themselves into a corner where it's extremely hard to justify not making it an option. The closest thing to a graceful solution I can think of is to make laying the groundwork for such a coup a meaningful but optional part of 6.0 and draw it out until the finale whenever that might be, though even that would need to make a convincing case for why significant prep is required beyond the power base the PC already has.

This is the sort of mess which happens when you make a character a galactic-level player before the story's end, but can't give players galaxy-changing decisions because it'd interfere with the need to have all characters start in roughly the same place for future story content. But Bioware for better or for worse have never been able to resist special PCs, not since they rejected the original more down-to-earth Baldur's Gate concept in favour of making player characters the offspring of a God.

I hope not. I'm reasonably happy with the 2000 BBY Sith revival's current origin, where the most involvement the old Sith had is in the occasional recovered artifact or an isolated remnant cult/kingdom/clan absorbed by Ruin's movement. Karpyshyn already threw too much KOTOR/SWTOR stuff into the era in his books as far as I'm concerned, as part of what I'm starting to believe is his ongoing mission to rob every unique and unusual era of whatever makes it stand out from the others.

 

I just hope they try to keep the storylines balanced.

Spoiler

There's not much reason for most of the player characters to side with the Republic after how they've been treated. Maybe the Trooper or the Jedi, but not so much the Smuggler. And with a reasonable Acina or Vowrawn leading the Empire, not to mention Malgus being back, I'm not sure what chance the Republic stands by now.

Figures they would bring Gnost-Dural back only to kill him. Or have him be captured but that's basically it for his role in the story. No point getting Henrikson back for that.

I wonder if they'll finish bringing back all the companions before the next big thing starts. Tharan sure would have been helpful with Iokath's technology, Zenith can fit in anywhere easily (considering how many galactic conquerors there are and how valuable Balmorra is), and Kira and Scourge remain the biggest mysteries due to their links with the Sith Emperor. Hopefully the game has moved on from him.

 

I am excited about the new dark councilor but hoping they make some more pop up. I think they were a pretty unique part of the lore and early game.

Yeah I am disappointed that Gnost might be dead. But he could survive

Also I kinda hope that the Republic does lose the war. Even if it means another 'Empire v resistance' haha

Spoiler

It makes sense to me since the Sith's natural state is war, they live for it and their Empire thrives on it. While the jedi and Republic CAN fight they don't live on it like the Sith do.

Honestly it makes sense to me, like how the Sith were falling apart during the cold war while the Republic was getting stronger.

I think the fact that Sith actually fought against the Eternal Empire with the Alliance would make them look better/stronger to a lot of the galaxy.

 

Nice.

Spoiler

More screenshots HERE.

Spoiler

I think what we basically have on Ossus is remote Jedi colony vs Sith and the Empire. It is interesting because it seems that Sith and the Empire sticked together when at the same time Jedi have fleed from the Republic.

December.

 

My worries appear to have been justified:

Spoiler

An Imperial PC is at this point the closest thing Vitiate had to an acknowledged heir. They almost singlehandedly massacred the would-be usurper Malgus' top followers before defeating him. They are one of the deadliest individuals alive and command massive political+military influence. In the Inq's case they were a Dark Council member already. In Dark Side KOTET endings they've spent some time as de facto Galactic Emperor, only losing that status due to the recent loss of the Eternal Fleet.

And now with the fleet gone, Bioware expects it to seem plausible that such an individual would just roll over and accept becoming the junior partner to an Empire ruled by someone else, and allow profound disrespect from an insect like Malora to pass without consequence.

If this is what they wanted, they shouldn't have allowed the characters to climb to the heights they already have. The story completely falls apart for any character but those who are entirely unambitious and lacking in pride, which I can't imagine are the majority on the Imperial side. Still holding out vague hope that they go with the coup-planning optional subplot I mentioned as a potential solution and it simply hasn't been datamined yet or will show up after this daily area, because its the only thing I can think of which could rescue this from absurdity.

 

I got to say the the planet is loooing amazing.

 

My fav quote from that vid, "a big'ol Killik".

Cuase it's obviously a Geonosian,

"Do all insectoid species look the same to you?" (I would have done, 'you humans are all racist, but his character is a
Twi'lek)

 

I wonder if we'll meet Ood Bnar and/or the Ysanna.

 

Spoiler

I think that’s their intention for sure. We know Boyd wants to bring them all back. If I had to guess, after Ossus we’ll get a slew of spread out companion alert patches to keep us content until the new expansion.

Spoiler

I definitely see where you're coming from. In general, the transition from Imperial vs. Republic to the Eternal Empire storyline and back again is showing its seams. I don't think that means the overall story of the game has been bad, but it's very clear that they had to abandon their original course for the game, committed fully to a soft-reboot of the game's premise without anticipating ever going back to the Republic vs. Empire dichotomy, but now are because of the playerbase's demands.

I honestly don't think that the Imperial character seizing power in the Empire is off the table, however. I could definitely see them going that route in the expansion next year. For me, there's really just a larger question of how divergent they'll allow the stories to become. Because if they loosen up on that, why not let someone become the Emperor? They don't have a leg to stand on yet, given the Eternal Fleet is gone and many of the Commander's forces are scattering, but who knows what happens next year.

Spoiler

Two codex entries titled “Ysanna” and “Ysanna in Hiding” have been added to the Test Server without text, so maybe we’ll see one or at least get a mention of them!

Spoiler

I was just on the Test Server and the alert for Khem Val is there, but we can’t actually activate the mission yet. I think they’ll probably add it to the server in the coming weeks—they mentioned in the test server forum that the Ossus dailies would be coming too.

Spoiler

These are stunning.

 

This is madness! They did it! I thought they were joking!

Spoiler

How many of you want to ROMANCE Khem?

Khem: The Force used to satisfy my hunger, but no longer. I'm neither a slave nor a captive of the witch, and the freedom overwhelms me. I long to be bonded. Your scent is much changed--you are stronger, infused with the essence of the Force. Your aroma is intoxicating, and I fear I will soon lose control.
Player: I find your scent rather...intoxicating, too.
Khem: If we wish to be together, we must be bonded using the ancient rituals. If I displease Mistress Death, she will drive me mad and force me to devour you.
Player: Is this true? Then I must explain....I've always wondered what ancient Dashade rituals looked like.
Khem: I am honored, my Master. We will need many sacrifices for the blood rituals. I will leave immediately.
Player: A goodbye kiss, then?
Khem: Forgive me, Master. It is forbidden. Mistress Death is the soul of envy--she must be appeased.I will begin gathering the sacrifices. This will take much time. If you require me in the meantime, Master, you only need to ask.

 

Spoiler

Based on codex entry names we might meet the Ysanna. As for Ood Bnar, there is a mission with relics related to him.

I might be wrong in some lines but I think I glued them together well enough.

Conversation with Jaesa:

Spoiler

Jaesa: So it was you jamming our communications. I've imagined this day, but somehow this feels much more...ordinary.

[OPTION 1] Player: It's been too long, Jaesa.

Jaesa: Yes, If I'd known you'd returned, I would have contacted you sooner.​

[OPTION 2] Player: You should've sensed me the moment I set foot on Ossus.

Jeasa: When you left, I felt a terrible sense of emptiness. I couldn't reach you through the Force. You simply...vanished.​

[OPTION 3] Player: It's clear your allegiance lies with the Jedi. We have nothing to talk about.

Jaesa: I know how it appears, Master. Let me explain. I haven't used my power in years. My master thought it was becoming a crutch... I'm getting ahead of myself.​

Jaesa: I was adrift... neither Jedi nor Sith. All of my former allies and confidantes were lost in the chaos of war.I spent a year running from Sith agents, hiding in the Outer Rim. It was there that I heard of Master Gnost-Dural, and his fascination with the Sith.

[OPTION 1] Player: Only you could convince someone like Gnost-Dural to be your tutor.

Jaesa: The master agreed, and brought me to Ossus. He offered me a chance to redeem myself--and one day rejoin the Jedi Order.​

[OPTION 2] Player: Is that what you really want? To be a Jedi?

Jaesa: When the Sith were hunting me, Master Gnost-Dural and the Jedi offered me hope. But now that you've returned, my choice is clear.​

[OPTION 3] Player: I thought you wanted to change the Empire from the inside. But now you're crawling back to the Jedi.

Jaesa: He's a brilliant historian, and his theories about the Force go beyond anything I'd ever imagined....It seemed like the natural choice, after the Sith rejected me. But now that you're here, my path is clear.​

Player: I command an Alliance of specialists and Force-users from across the galaxy.

Jaesa: An...Alliance? So you found a way to unite Jedi and Sith after all. I would love to see it for myself.

[OPTION 1] Player: I'd be honored, Jaesa.

Jaesa: Truly, the honor is mine. I'll get offworld, and contact your Alliance. Find me again when all this is over.​

[OPTION 2 REJECT COMPANION] Player: It won't work, Jaesa. We're on different paths now.

Jaesa: Of course. I... I understand. You must do what you think is right. If you face Master Gnost-Dural, take care. He may be a formidable enemy, but I owe him my life.​

ON ODESSEN

Jaesa: The shuttle pilot told me Odessen was a formidable base, but it's even more impressive in person. Jedi and Sith working side by side...it's surreal.
[IF GNOST-DURAL WAS KILLED] Jeasa: I know I've only just returned, Master, but I'm having difficulty coming to terms with the loss of Master Gnost-Dural. You were there, beside Malgus. Was there no other way? Wasn't Gnost-Dural worth saving for his knowledge alone?

[OPTION 1] Player: I'm sorry, Jaesa. I knew you were close.

Jaesa: Gnost-Dural was a remarkable man. I wish I could bear his loss with the stoicism he so often preached.​

[OPTION 2] Player: We're at war, Jaesa. We won a great victory on Ossus, and one Jedi's life is a small price to pay.

Jaesa: Perhaps you are right. I have long been in the company of Jedi, and I may have lost perspective. I would like to be alone for awhile. I will meditate on your words, for there is much to consider.​

[OPTION 3] Player: Blame me if you like, but I stand by our choice. Malgus won a great victory for the Empire.

Jaesa: Malgus bears the blame, not you.​

[IF GNOST-DURAL WAS CAPTURED - I AM MISSSING ONE OPTION] Jaesa: Once again, I find myself in your debt. Master Gnost-Dural may have been captured, but he lives because of you.

[OPTION 1] Player: It may be too late to stop the war, but we'll continue fighting for peace.

Jaesa: I am grateful for my time on Ossus, but I'm glad to be back. Together, you and I can put an end to war. Create lasting peace.​

[OPTION 2] Player: I have to look out for the Alliance, Jaesa. I can't focus on reforming the Empire anymore.

Jaesa: I'm sorry, I was making assumptions. The Alliance should come first.​

ROMANCE

Jaesa: I'd like to speak plainly, Master. Perhaps there's somewhere more suitable for that sort of conversation?

Player: That can be arranged.

Jeasa: Master, I must be straight with you. Even before I met you, I've struggled with one tenet of the Jedi Code: the restrictions on love. And yet the way I feel when I think about you...it's exhilarating. It's so much stronger than the bond between master and apprentice. How could it be wrong?​

[ALTERNATE ROMANCE DIALOGUE? MAYBE IF GNOST-DURAL WAS CAPTURED]
Jeasa: Master Gnost-Dural always said that I need to govern my emotions. Maybe it's time I took his advice. I understood it logically. Romance made fools of people, and a Jedi must be willing to sacrifice any individual for the greater good.

Player: Jaesa....

Jaesa: When you were gone, I completely lost my center. I had to shut myself off from my power, or I'd constantly be searching for you. I guess... What I'm trying to say...is that I love you. More than my own life, maybe! Maybe I'm just a fool after all....​

[OPTION 1 ROMANCE] Player: You aren't the only one, Jaesa. I love you, too.

Jaesa: This is more than I'd ever hoped for....I can't believe, after all this time, that you feel the same way. Finally, I've found a home. I'll be here for you, whenever you need me.​

[OPTION 2 NO ROMANCE] Player: I'm sorry, Jaesa. I can't....Let's just be friends.

Jaesa: It's alright, you don't need to explain. Please, forget I said anything. If that's even possible.... This won't change anything, I promise. I just need a few moments to meditate. On my own. If you need me, you know where to find me.​

Conversation with Doc:

Spoiler

Doc: Gorgeous, let me tell you something: you have made it.
Doc: My friend, let me just say this: you have made it.
Doc: This place, this planet, your own cantina, ships, a staff--a small army! We're a long way from Bugtown on Balmorra.

[OPTION 1] Player: I'm proud of you. You stuck with the Jedi, helped all of those people on that colony for years--that was a very noble thing.

Doc: I figured hanging out with a bunch of stuffy Jedi was the best way to keep myself out of trouble. Well, this Jedi I knew once really helped me find my way in the galaxy, so I figured I'd do my best to reciprocate.​

[OPTION 2 FEMALE ROMANCED] Player: Such high praise! Let's hear some more.

Doc: Let's see... you haven't aged a day, you're even more heroic and stunning than I remember, and I'm so glad to see you it's hard to even think straight.​

[OPTION 3] Player: Now that you're back in the galaxy at large, you must have big plans.

Doc: You know me too well. Yeah I did put together one or two ideas while I was on Ossus, but... I'm not ready to commit.

Player: All of this just boils down to a lot of responsibilities and paperwork. I liked things better when it was just our crew and one little ship.

Doc: I can understand that.​

Doc: Hard to believe it's been so long. The colony was good for me. Good for everyone, really. Way things were going... a break was good. I stuck with Kira and Scourge through the war, and even for a while after--until Scourge went on the hunt. He was obsessed... something to do with the Sith Emperor, but he wouldn't tell me more. Kira was spun up about it, too. We got separated on Begeren. When I couldn't hook back up with them, I circled back to Tython and then fell into Gnost-Dural's little project.

[OPTION 1] Player: Do you remember anything else? I can have people start searching for them right away.

Doc: Not really--sorry. I know Scourge had a secret contact, someone he knew from back when he was the Emperor's Wrath. I'll jot down everything I have for you.​

[OPTION 2] Player: Sounds like you went through a lot. I'm glad you made it in one piece.

Doc: You and me both.
Doc: You and me both, gorgeous.​

[OPTION 3] Player: I don't know what they could have been doing. The Emperor is dealt with--end of story.

Doc: Scourge probably lost his mind. Now then...​

Doc: I've already got my gear moved into some very nice quarters Doctor Oggurobb put aside for me, so....
[OPTION 1 FEMALE ROMANCE] So, why don't we spend a bit more time catching up?
Doc: Just what the doctor ordered....

[IF NOT ROMANCED]...But hey--let's focus on the man of the hour. What do you think? Got any openings for an incredibly talented doctor?

[OPTION 1]Player: Welcome to the Alliance, Doc. I'd be glad to have you.

Doc: I'll drink to that. Now then--what's the story with that cute Voss lady downstairs?​

[OPTION 2 REJECT COMPANION] Player: The Alliance isn't the place for you, Doc. No, you don't belong here.

Doc: After everything we've been through together....Guess it's a good thing I didn't unpack.​

ROMANCE

Doc: Look, I don't want to pressure you. I'm the last guy to give a lecture on fidelity, and we've been apart a long time. But I just want to be sure you know: I've stayed true. You are the only one for me.

[OPTION 1 ROMANCE] Player: I don't want to spend another day without you.

Doc: Yeah... you and me both.​

[OPTION 2 NO ROMANCE] Player: I appreciate that, Doc, but... I think our time is over. I'm sorry. I can't be with you anymore.

Doc: Look... don't get me wrong, I'm not thrilled at the moment... but whatever there is or isn't between us, you're doing something great here. Look, I've been cooped up for way too long. Your Alliance is my chance to get back out in the galaxy and do some real good, in places where it counts. So... what do you say? Think you could put up with having your mopey ex around?

[OPTION 1]Player: Welcome to the Alliance, Doc. I'd be glad to have you.

Doc: All right, I'd better get settled in.​

[OPTION 2 REJECT COMPANION] Player: The Alliance isn't the place for you, Doc. No, you don't belong here.

Doc: Wow... two rejections in one day... that takes me back. After everything we've been through together....Guess it's a good thing I didn't unpack.​

Conversation with Nadia:

Spoiler

Nadia: This place is amazing! I can't believe you built all of this.... and the people! Incredible! I mean... that lady was a Sith, right?

Player: More or less.

Nadia: And you work together, saving the whole galaxy... wow. We really missed a lot on Ossus.

[OPTION 1] Player: I wish you could have been a part of it all. It's an honor seeing the Jedi you've grown to be.

Nadia: I had a great teacher to try to live up to.​

[OPTION 2] Player: I'm sorry we couldn't do more to preserve the colony.

Nadia: We did, but... that kind of stuff comes and goes. That's the way of things--the way of the Force, right? One chapter ends, another begins.​

[OPTION 3]Player: Ossus was a waste of time. The Jedi should never have gone into hiding like that.Hiding on Ossus was foolish.

Nadia: I'm sorry, but... you don't know what we went through.​

Nadia: I wish the rest of the galaxy were following your Alliance's example--finding ways to work together for a greater good. Even if we manage to defeat the Sith, what happens then? How do we deal with them afterward? We have to find ways to coexist. To meet on common ground, like Father always taught. If we must go back to war, then I want to be with people who represent the kind of future we're fighting for. I want to join your Alliance.

[OPTION 1]Player: Welcome to the team! If you need anything, start with Sana-Rae--she heads our enclave for Force-users. I'd be glad to have you.

Nadia: I met her earlier! Such an interesting woman.​

[OPTION 2]Player: You'd be welcome, of course, but don't you represent Sarkhai in the Republic Senate?

Nadia: Oh, no--not for years now. Fighting alongside the other Jedi in the war against Zakuul... I realized I couldn't do both jobs as well as they deserved. The royal family was very understanding. They appointed a wonderful new Senator, Thariki, to replace me. I should see how she's doing....​

[OPTION 3] Player: I saw you in action on Ossus--you belong with the Jedi, not here. The Alliance doesn't pull its punches.

Nadia: After all this time... I'm still not good enough for you?​

ROMANCE
Nadia: I'm so excited to be a part of this. I don't exactly have a lot of luggage, but I'll go get my things and settle in.

Player: : And... what about us?

Nadia: Oh. I... uh... well, I wasn't sure, after so long apart... if you would feel the same way.

[OPTION 1 ROMANCE]Player: "All seasons, all worlds. Under stars, and earth."

Nadia: "You, and I".... I love you.​

[OPTION 2 NO ROMANCE] Player: We've both changed with time. I think it's best if we put it past us and move on. We should move on.

Nadia: Oh. Okay, yeah, I... let's just move on.​

Nadia: As soon as you need me for a mission, just let me know! We'll take on the whole galaxy together, just like old times.

Player: As soon as the Empire makes their next move, I'll let you know.

Nadia: Sounds good to me.​

ROMANCE (NO PREVIOUS ROMANCE)
Player: I want to be more than your teacher or your partner, Nadia.

Nadia: You... you mean it? I always sensed something more... more than the bond of a master and padawan, more than a connection through the Force....I sensed it, but you never... so, I never... even though, you know, I wanted to, but... it all seems a bit silly now, doesn't it?

[OPTION 1 ROMANCE]Player: We've lost so much time....

Nadia: But we don't have to lose any more.​

[OPTION 2 NO ROMANCE] Player: I'm glad we spoke of this, but... we shouldn't act on it.

Nadia: Oh. Well... I suppose, maybe, you're right. If it were going to happen... it would have happened years ago. If, uh... as soon as you need me--for a mission--just let me know....​

Player: Things are going to get much worse before they get better, Nadia. Prepare yourself for that.

Nadia: With you back, we can handle anything.​

 

Sorry for double posting but I cannot edit the previous one:

Conversation with Khem (it was the hardest to sort it out since Khem does not speak in basic and there are no audio files for him):

Spoiler

Player: There's a presence nearby. It's oddly...familiar.

Khem: Little Sith! At long last, you have returned. Stay, and watch me feast upon this Jedi.

[OPTION 1] Player: You always did have a large appetite.

Khem: There are many Force-users on this planet, so I hunt in the shadows, thinning their numbers. The strongest are too well-guarded. Weaklings like him cannot satisfy my hunger.​

[OPTION 2] Player: It appears I've already missed the best part.

Khem: I have hardly begun! Mistress Death will not be satisfied unless I devour him slowly, with relish.​

[OPTION 3] Player: I'd rather not. There's something about entrails....

Khem: When I hunted on other worlds, many fools sought revenge for their fallen allies. I swatted them away like gnats, but grew tired of their interference.​

Khem: After you disappeared, Little Sith, there was no one powerful enough to serve, save Mistress Death.

[OPTION 1] Player: Your freedom is well-earned.

Khem: I once believed you had the strength to rival Tulak Hord. Then you disappeared, imprisoned by one twisted by the Force.​

[OPTION 2] Player: So my disappearance broke our agreement?

Khem: I am a shadow-killer, bound by honor only to serve Mistress Death.​

[OPTION 3]Player: You promised to serve me eternally. You'd dare break your word?

Khem: I cannot serve you now, when you carry the stench of weakness once more. Never had I imagined that it would come like this.​

[OPTION 1] Player: Hundreds of Force-users are at my command. I defeated Zash. I'm stronger than ever.

Khem: Your titles mean nothing to me, but the witch...you say she is dead at last? You succeeded where I have failed. It appears that you did not break our agreement. I will lend you my strength once more, Little Sith.​

[OPTION 2] Player: Don't question my strenght fool. [Shock him]

Khem: Enough! I yield. Your power is formidable, but you act without regard for honor. I will serve you--for now.​

[OPTION 3] Player: I'm powerful enough to defeat Zash. She perished on Nathema, and she'll never plague you again.

Khem: The witch is...dead? It is a wonder she returned, but once again, I am in your debt.​

Khem: Little Sith, I've grown weary of this place. Let us walk outdoors. Your power is great, but your actions lack honor. I promised to serve you eternally, so I am bound by my words. For years, I longed for the day when I would drain the witch's essence and spill her blood. You won that honor, and I hope she suffered dearly. You have changed from the Sith I knew. I will train relentlessly, so that I may one day challenge you and win back my freedom.

[OPTION 1]Player: I'd expect nothing less.

Khem: The red planet was hidden and full of delicious prey. I waited patiently for fools who fell easily into my traps. Perhaps you will prove me wrong, Master, and earn my respect once more.​

[OPTION 2]Player: My power grows each day. You will never surpass me.

Khem: Only one as young as you could possess such arrogance. I long to hunt again, Master.​

Khem: I grow ever more hungry. I long to hunt again, my Master. Do not keep me waiting, for I grow hungry. Since I awakened, I have been consumed by a desire for freedom, and revenge against the witch. Without them, I am only a shadow-killer.

[OPTION 1] Player: You're a part of the Alliance now. It may take some time for people to warm up to you, but we have many strong allies.

Khem: A shadow-killer does not put on false pretenses to impress others. Yes. I will find one who smells strong and challenge them to a duel. Sparring is an excellent way to identify one's weaknesses. Perhaps your allies are stronger than they look. But if anyone dishonors you, I will make them suffer.​

[OPTION 2 ROMANCE] Player: I'm back for good, Khem. You don't have to be alone again.

Khem:: Truly? Then there is more I must say....The Force used to satisfy my hunger, but no longer. I'm neither a slave nor a captive of the witch, and the freedom overwhelms me. I long to be bonded. Your scent is much changed--you are stronger, infused with the essence of the Force. Your aroma is intoxicating, and I fear I will soon lose control.

[OPTION 1] Player: I didn't realize Dashades were interested in romance.

Khem: If we wish to be together, we must be bonded using the ancient rituals. If I displease Mistress Death, she will drive me mad and force me to devour you.

Player: I've always wondered what ancient Dashade rituals looked like.

Khem: It is rare, but there are certain steps which must be taken....​

[OPTION 2 ROMANCE] Player: I find your scent rather...intoxicating, too.

Khem: Is this true? Then I must explain...

Player: I've always wondered what ancient Dashade rituals looked like.

Khem: I am honored, my Master. We will need many sacrifices for the blood rituals. I will leave immediately.

Player: A goodbye kiss, then?

Khem: Forgive me, Master. It is forbidden. Mistress Death is the soul of envy--she must be appeased.I will begin gathering the sacrifices. This will take much time. If you require me in the meantime, Master, you only need to ask.​

[OPTION NO ROMANCE] Player: I'm sorry, Khem. I'm not ready to make that kind of...commitment.​

[OPTION 3 NO ROMANCE] Player: I've heard too much already, Khem.

Khem: I'm ashamed, Master. I should not have spoken such things. Forgive me for speaking so openly.​

[OPTION 3] Player: If you're trying to make friends, you should stop harping on about "Mistress Death."

Khem: Your allies reek of weakness, but for now, I will hunt offworld. I seek stronger prey to sate my appetite.​

[IDK where these lines happen, probably when speaking about "romance"]

Player: It must be lonely without other Dashades.
Khem: We are allied by our service to Mistress Death, but little more. You and Tulak Hord have been greater allies than my kin. Now I travel offworld, to find your people and await your arrival.

 

Spoiler

So Jaesa goes back to being light no matter what? That's a shame, hopefully they will find a way to bring her back to the dark for the sake of continuity

 

Spoiler

She stays on the light side if she was light sided in the class story. She stays dark if she was corrupted in the class story. Light Jaesa appears on Ossus while dark Jaesa appears in the "alert" mission.

 

Thanks.

 

Here is the conversation with dark Jeasa if you haven't seen it before.

Do you think Malak killed his dog?

OR is Revan's dog HK-47?
