>>323450960
? That's the best part of KOTOR2. Provided you've built enough influence with her you learn quite early on that a confrontation between you and Kreia is inevitable. She remains your master, trying to make you see things her way, she admires you, and even as you plunge your lightsaber in her she is thrilled to see you succeed. A remarkably refreshing concept for a character vs final boss interaction.

>What did she mean by this?
at some point when you talk to her about Atris (in the Hawk i think) she says Atris walks the same path she did. You can get that convo right after leaving Telos iirc.

then at the end you talk to her about Atris again and that's when she says "There must always be a Darth Traya"

so my hypothesis is that there was to be a longer, more fleshed out Atris story arc where what Kreia means is better explained, but it was scrapped like so much of the content of the game.

Other than that idk, maybe i'm wrong

The original plan was for the player's choices to determine whether Atris joins you as a party member, whether you fight her on Telos, or whether she becomes the final boss on Malachor.

Well, before she says that you killed of the two other sith lords. Since she believes in balance (or more exactly neutrality) it might be about that in order for good to exist (assuming you are light side), there needs to be someone evil.

Good loses its meaning when there is nothing bad.

Not really. Kreia became Sith by exile and discovering the wounds in the force found on Malachor. Then she came to hate the force altogether when the sith turned on her. She uses the exile to try to kill the force.

Vergere was a jedi who turned sith and came to believe the force is neutral, she trains Jacen because she believes he can fix the force and sacrifices herself to ensure his future.

About the only similarities is that they're both morally grey.
>>
>>323458771

>>323461178
Kreia was a Sith before finding a wound in the Force with the Exile.
>>
>>323462562
She went to Malachor to become a sith, where she discovered the wound in the force. It was later she traced and understand it was the exile's inherent bonding ability that made the wound.

She was turned on Malachor, but she found wounds just retracing Revan's wake or even just collecting Sion and Nihilius,

I personally like to believe that Kreia turned into a Sith after her husband died and she was presumed dead during the Mandalorian wars.

Kotor 1 was simpler. Whether or not that makes it better is up to each person to decide.
>>
>>323463210
Also, when Kreia says 'Revan came to me in the end', I like to think it was when she had become a Sith, meaning prior to Revan's sacrifice but after the Mandalorian wars.
>>
>>323463512
She was a jedi during the mandalorian wars. She was exiled afterward. She had no husband. You' must be confusing her with someone else's backstory, like handmaiden

She became sith on Malachor, specifically in the academy. Now she was well on her way before that, but the academy is what finally pushed her over.

The Sith and the Dark Side of the Force in general are metaphysical constants that can't be erased. The Force NEEDS there to be balance. Better that someone who understands this function as its leader, to minimize suffering as much as humanly possible while still satisfying the nominal requirements for darkness and evil in the galaxy.

Pfft. Yes and Vader had no wife too.

>>323465325
It's pretty obvious as well.

>>323466781
Going to the Dark Side and still being a Jedi is harder. Neutrality only demands that you do good and evil whenever you feel like it.
>>
>>323456475
Revan is the best sith and has the best name. Coincidence?
>>
>>323458352
In all fairness "balance" in Star Wars is just a euphemism for "Complete and utter annihilation of the other guys"
>>
>>323467298
The fact that both Arren Kae and Kreia were Revan's last masters alone says enough.
>>
>>323467368
Funny that the Jedi in the Prequel never realized it
>the Sith have been gone for 1000 years
>yet we think this guy will bring balance to the Force
>I mean, what can go wrong?
Though, to be fair, the small amounts of Sith popping their heads from time to time were always up to no good.
>>
>>323467546
And that Kreia said 'in the end, he came to me'. But I still prefer that Kae and Kreia are different people, not literally, but that they have gone through such hardships that the beginning and end person are so different that they might as well be different people.
It really makes me want to see what Kae was like in her youth.

It doesn't help that every time a Jedi goes bad they say "Oh no, he's not a real Jedi, he's a Sith!" yet every time a Sith or unaffiliated force user does something good the Jedi get all the glory.

Considering she managed to bag a legendary echani general and the thing Handmaiden tells us, she probably wasn't just like any other member of the Jedi Order.
>>
>>323463468
That's true though.
>>
>>323468094
The Sith want galaxy domination at all cost, so whenever they do something good, it's mostly and correctly summed that it's towards that goal.
The Jedi are backwards on this since they do evil shit like lying, manipulating people and facts, etc, just to maintain the peace and good.
Atton is right by saying that the Jedi do erroneous evil acts but they do it with good intentions and for a good purpose. Plus, they just like to sit back not claim anything.

>>323468284
She was 'strong in the Force' which tells us a lot and she like was just open about fucking and was more questionable of the Jedi Code.
>>
>>323468234
Her goal was to kill the force. She didn't care which side she was on, because to her, the forces manipulates ANYONE who can sense it anyway.

To be fair, to a normal person, a person strong in the Force is practically a godamm God.

>To be fair, to a normal person, a person strong in the Force is practically a godamm God.
No, it isn't fair because no other force user is built up like this. Revan, the Exile, and Kreia are held as some sort of dieties. KOTOR1 did not have this issue or atleast not as bad as KOTOR2. I also blame KOTOR2 for a lot of the more retarded hate toward TOR. People didn't like seeing these characters that were built up as god beings brought back down to Earth.

Also force users aren't gods to normal people. Mandolorians, Bounty hunters, even low life criminals in both Kotor1 and 2 brag about having killed jedi. They're far above a normal person but with ingenuity, a non-force user can beat them. Especially by exploiting the fact they rely on the force

Black Talon. The last boss of the instance is named something Baan. Same last name, same race. It's not explicity said to be her descendant but I doubt that it's a coincidence and is just a reference to her.
>>
>>323469332
No she pretty intentional wanted to fuck up the force, as least in the default ending of 2. She intended to use Malachor send permanent echoes through the force if not severe people from it altogether. She absolutely reviled the force, and was fully intent on damaging it as much as she could even if it cost her own life.
>>
>>323470056
How were they ruined? This is what I mean, people consider them ruined because KOTOR2 built them up as God being special snowflakes and TOR did not keep this trend going and brought them back in line with KOTOR1. Most peoples complaints seem to stem from Revan and the Exile getting defeated like bitches instead of triumphantly winning despite facing a far stronger opponent

You do realize that she was not the Echani general's wife, right? That's what sparked the outrage and what caused her exile. The Echani gneeral was already married when Kreia, then known as Arren Kae, had an affair with him, which resulted in Brianna the Handmaiden.

>>323471050
neither Revan nor Malak are names, anon

Revan is just a short form of The Revanchist, leader of the Revanchist fraction that led to the Mandalorian Wars

>>323469854
The only off the wall character is Nihilius, who can eat planets, and even that is explained, though not really elaborated on. Revan was just a good commander. Exile only true power was her bonding skill. Kreia wasn't strong at all. She's a naggy bitch.

Why people considered these characters ruined is 10 years of no sequel, and head canon. Also the sequel being a shit game. Excluding Nihilius, none of these characters hold a candle to someone like Starkiller.
>>
>>323471015
Because that strength wa sonly made by KOTOR2, in KOTOR1 he wasn't this God being. Also how is it ignoring strength? Do people just assume the player characters are weak/generic nobodies? Each player character class is a giant Mary sue. The inquisitor has the power of like 6 sith lords combined inside of him as well as becoming a dark council member from a slave in like a year, the warrior is the emperors wrath, the bounty hunter is the best hunter in the galaxy and sucessfully hunted and killed several targets every other major bounty hunter couldn't take down, as well as killing the Jedi battlemaster and a few other high power targets, the agent is ingenious enough to take on a dark council member with nothing but a fucking sniper rifle.

The republic side is really even more ridiculous for its force users.

So Revan should be unkillable? Why?
>>
>>323468257
She's a fucking Sith. She uses you, she manipulates you, she betrays you, she expects you to do the same. Following her advice puts you very strongly on the "dark side" path. Her entire goal was to annihilate the Jedi; not simply by slaughtering them all like Sion/Nihilus/Malak wanted, but by showing them that their philosophy was flawed and causing them to fall, thus annihilating the Jedi as an ideology, similar to what Revan did except less overtly. The entire purpose of her character, in addition to being a creator avatar, was to fuck around with the player by taking their expectations of the wise old mentor character and flipping it around.
>>
>>323471424
Also Revan doesn't even truly die from this, he comes back and this time it takes the strength of the PC, The current leader of the empire in the emperors absence, the Jedi order Grandmaster, a wookie, a SIS agent and another sith lord. And he isn't even "whole" when this fight happens. The Exile and Revan are also mentioned as the only two beings to ever resist the emperors power and influence (except for the JK PC) and considering how The Sith Emperor is basically force malestrom Palpatine tier...
>>
>>323471424

She was very powerful. Not as powerful as Revan or Exile sure but she was still strong.
>>
>>323472081
Why not? You have yet to give a reason. What makes Revan untouchable and unkillable by four Mary sues"? And yes, at level 38 the characters are very much Mary sues. The only argument I am seeing is "Revan should be such a Mary sue he is above every other Mary sue". Why would you want a character you like to be rivaling EU Palpatine? He was only ruined for you because KOTOR2 built your expectations of him far too much, and then he was brought down and you can't take it.

Sources and claims made from sources are never simple because autism demands it.

One is that the Jedi exiled her because she bore a child and another is that the Jedi order exiled her because she had an affair.
The former is more in line to how the Jedi Order acts in general and the latter is more scandalous.

I only played maybe half of KOTOR, and I never really have seen any of the Star Wars, but I think you're getting close to addressing the point OP brings up.

Within even the darkest night, there is always a seed of light. And even within what seems to be the brightest day, there is necessarily a shadow.

It is only in relation that these concepts exist. They cannot exist without eachother -- they are both complimentary and opposites. They undulate and take turns.

This is actually one of the harder parts about understanding the notion of the Force and the Jedi Order for me. Because the Light and Dark side as presented in Star Wars do not necessarily exactly correspond with "evil" and "good". In fact, Light and Dark are more like Order and Chaos. Harmony and Discord.

That Jedi are always trying to preserve balance seems to necessitate its fall.

So wherever there is order -- whether a Jedi Order or an Empire -- there is always that which weathers away at its base.

No reign lasts forever. For any hero to arise, there must be a villian to necessitate the heroic deeds.

There must be a vacuum, a void, for the universe to usher forth that which fills it.

So especially in the Star Wars universe, for the Player, for a Protagonist, for a Game, for a Movie, for a Story to exist --

there must always be a Darth Traya.

I still wonder if Kotor 1 was a criticism of the Prequels. The Jedi joined the Clone Wars much much too quickly imo. Kotor showed the opposite where the council refused to help because of 'a hidden threat' much like how the Sith were a hidden threat behind the CIS and a shadowery figure controlling the Senate.

The handmaidens. Both them and Brianna mention that they all share a father, but the last of the handmaidens has a different mother. If you probe her about it she'll reveal she's the child of an affair with the jedi.

Kreia was a pretty hit or miss character. I really enjoyed her because she felt like a true mentor and her views of the force were very interesting and different from the other views of the force. I guess other people were just annoyed with her and didn't care for what she said.

KotOR 1 had better worldbuilding and setting. The planets themselves were more interesting, and learning about the Rakata and the Sand People was top-tier (up until they introduced le superweapon Star Forge, of course).

KotOR 2 had a much better, more subtle plot, and better characters.

Thus, I think overall both games were equal in terms of everything other than gameplay; each had its own strengths and weaknesses. However, since the gameplay of 2 was unarguably improved (workbenches actually did something, more weapons, more variety in builds, and more dialogue/quest options), I think 2 is the slightly better game overall.

Adding upgrades to items improves nothing. The whole system is fucked at the core and balance is all over the place. If anything, the upgrading broke the game even further.

Both games are piss-easy, and can be min-maxed. At least 2 gave you more options (through combat, weapons, dialogue, quests, etc.). In a game like this, giving the player more more options is never a bad thing. A few options may make the game even easier than 1, but at least the player is more free to make those choices.

The prison reunion being the cherry on top, consisting of a whole three lines blatantly transplanted from a party banter comment that was supposed to fire on the surface.
But yeah, the restoration mod otherwise improves the game a lot. There are some lines that probably shouldn't have been restored and were cut for reasons other than rushing the game, but overall it's a definite improvement.

I liked it that way. The place was literally a wound in the Force - it makes sense that it was twisted, confusing and desolate.

The prison reunion was a bit forced, I agree, but there's only so much they could do with what they had.

Disney's been updating KOTOR 2 regularly on Steam, I'd love it if they did an HD remaster that incorporated the restored content along with new polish from the original VAs.

off topic but I saw that picture and had to ask any other old JKA players returning to the game? Surprisingly it's still alive, moreso than the days it started dying out in the early PS3 era

Wasn't even really cut. It's subtle, but there's enough left in the game with what Kreia says and how the second Telos visit (both Kreia's and yours) goes to see it.
And of course if you get restoration mod, the scenes with Handmaiden make it pretty damn obvious she has a serious unrequited love problem.

Sion is prone to these attacks because you can lower his defense through persuading him. May be Sion is kind of a brute so his Will defense is also lower .

Kreia is difficult to CC because she is a consular which gives her higher defense on resisting force power.

They've had at least 3 major updates to KOTOR 2 since Disney took over the IP, including a graphics overhaul, controller support and fully supported incorporation of the cut content mod into Steam workshop.

I agree, it's unlikely, but it's clear someone at LucasArts is paying attention to KOTOR 2 in particular (they haven't done the same for KOTOR 1).

>>323485208
He was an engineer, and a good one. Killing Mandies is what he signed up for after all. He gets the order, he does it.
Most likely the generator was in some part Revan's idea. HK and Kreia hint that he saw Malachor as a chance to purge the ranks from all the less loyal Jedi. A device like that was perfect for this goal.

Don't be a smartass. No matter how you build HK (and yes, TWF is really the only sensible option on a non-jedi), he still has no access to Force Speed. This means his damage output is effectively halved compared to other party members.
Meanwhile, the 50s in the level have hundreds of HP, carry repair kits and appear in groups of up to 8. Many, many times over and over again.

Kreia is a "Grey Jedi" done right. What it would mean to sit on the fence when it comes to the force and decide to let it neither guide or rule you, if only because you've faced the consequences of doing both.

I like Jolee Bindo, but he was as light as they come, surpassing every other companion in the game in his do-good-ness attitude and overall charm. And that's my main problem with the first one and most later Bioware games in general: The simplicity in which they approach character motivations and moral quandaries.

Both Juhani and Bastila are shown to be ethically troubled to downright cunts, yet only Jolee Bindo's alignment is grey, not because of his character or deeds, but because the slider they use to analyze where the characters in the game stand was decided by going Jedi Order: Good, Sith: Bad, charity: Good, kicking puppies: Bad.
Funny how they don't consider brainwashing: Bad and lying: Bad.

And that's why the Exile is a much better character than Revan. He operates in a universe where moral quandaries and consequences aren't as simplistic as the plot synopsis of a Saturday morning cartoon, where the Force is also a burden or even a curse, where good deeds can go punished and redemption is hard to come by.
>>
>>323489809
I literally did that with Atton and Bao-Dur, since they would eventually get up after being murdered, while Mira just used up all her grenades to shoot rockets at them.
>>
>>323489957
Exactly, sadly most people missed that.

If killing the force was possible, then she would have done it. Instead she just used the events of the game to show the exile how shitty the jedi and the sith were and then wiped the slate clean so they could rebuild the order, but this time in a way that wasn't going to fuck the galaxy over.

>>
>>323491390
A Sith isn't even a Sith done right. That was what KOTOR III was going to explore before EA decided they needed a WoW killer instead.
Kreia was no Sith or a Jedi. She turned away from both extremes to further her own agenda, a renegade, a "Grey Jedi" if you will. Qui-Gon was often called a Grey behind his back because of his unconventional methods and independence in the field, but he was still an official and loyal member of the Order when he died.
>>
>>323491595
Going by what I've read, no. Better just grit your teeth and not press that level up button until you finish your training.
>>
>>323491970
You usually want to level up one of the non-Jedi classes to 4 or 5 to take advantage of certain abilities and then start saving up any levels gained afterwards until you become a Jedi.
>>
>>323491854
>A Sith isn't even a Sith done right
That's a very good point. The Sith are, in their stated principles in this time period of the Old EU at least, all about embracing their emotions as fuel for their power and dominating things for their own benefit. But it typically shakes down to either "LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HATE" or "I wanna rule the entire galaxy and fuck everything up incredibly shortsightedly" Any emotion that isn't rage is basically verboten as a Sith. It's almost a good counterpoint to how the Jedi got all corrupted by the prequels, where they're supposed to be about serenity and oneness, but end up cutting themselves off from other people and the galaxy.

It's kind of why I liked Jadus's plot in TOR. He's still a crazy Sith, but he's "progressive." In that he thinks all the Empire's people, force sensitive or not, should "benefit" from the ideology of the Sith and proceeds to unleash terror on them all. It was a nice twist on typical Sith edgyness.
>>
>>323490229
>>323491854
I'm starting to question if you've actually played the game. It's hard to think you have when you're this wrong.
>>
>>323492358
In SWTOR as a Sith Sorc you get a companion and you basically end up teaching her that she can still be a Sith, but light side and the story arc is all about embracing your emotion and letting you do shit that helps people without being a faggy Jedi about it.

That's what i took out of KOTOR 2 as well
>>
>>323492358
What I was referring to, what both game allude to, was that the true Sith weren't the edgelords you found in the Old Republic and later, but an ancient race of slaving conquerors that were directly responsible in shaping the galaxy by terraforming and creating/shaping/uplifting the species that resided there.

Saying Kreia isn't a Sith is not just semantics, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of her character and role in the story. She is absolutely a Sith and never stopped. Sith is an ideology, after all. Just because she criticizes shallow and petty displays of power and advocates manipulation in the shadows doesn't make her any less of a Sith than Palpatine was.

If you level Scoundrel up to 5 you'll have an extra Sneak Attack bonus (and if you're playing as a Consular you'll want to take advantage of sneak attacking via your stunning force powers) and an extra feat than you would've with Scoundrel4/Consular16 build. Only downside is you'll be given one less force power, but that don't matter too much since there's only so many force powers you will be using by the end game.

Problem is, she does not act according to the Sith Code at all. You could make an argument for passion, considering her love for the exile and acting on her strong beliefs but the rest?
Power? Kreia doesn't give a shit about it. Everything she did was for two things - first, to nurture her best student to date. Second, to wipe the galaxy of both existing Jedi and Sith. She made you get rid of Atris, the Council, Sion, Nihilus. And in the end, herself. What power did she gain from it? Nothing. Everything was setup for you to be the strong one, not her.
'The Force shall set me free"? Problem is, Kreia thinks the exact opposite. She hates the force and considers it a power that enslaves, not liberates. If only it was possible, she'd rather see it gone from the universe.

Kreia is not a Sith. And not a Jedi. Kreia is Kreia.

You're exaggerating. The most common group number is 3/4. The 8 fight is practically the boss of the dungeon.

Even without Force Speed, you're still getting 4 attacks a round with Rapid shot. It's enough to put down an HK-50 in 1/2 rounds.

Kreia is at odds with the Sith ideology. Her entire belief system is predicated on the rejection of force power and shallow sentiment. Everything she does in your company is ultimately to educate you into becoming a better person, regardless of the Force. She dies for this belief, the ultimate rejection of Sith egoism.

She's only "Sith" as a tool. A safeguard, even.

Holy hell, you missed the point so fucking hard.

Every lesson she teaches you revolves around the idea that true power, true strength is not overt. It's not about raising vast armies or killing whoever you want. It's staying in the shadows and subtly manipulating events so that what you want to happen ends up happening without anyone realizing you're the true source.

And guess what? That's exactly what happens. Through you, she manipulates events so that the remaining Jedi reveal themselves and become vulnerable, and so that her failed students are culled. That is power, the kind she advocates. That's exactly why I brought up Palpatine because he did the exact same thing: keeping himself in the shadows and playing both sides so that, when the Jedi finally clued in, it was too late. Palpatine is essentially the closest example of Kreia's ideology, at least up until he decided to spam force storm while yelling about unlimited power.

These are crocodile tears, but for all those in the movie, and perhaps watching the movie itself, they'll see he is apparently moved — and of course, he is. He can just do it. He can, as it were, turn it on. And I suppose for him, it's also a bit of a turn-on — the pure exercise of power is what he's all about. That's the only thing he's interested in and the only thing that can satisfy him — which makes him completely fascinating to play, because it is an evil soul. He is more evil than the devil. At least Satan fell — he has a history, and it's one of revenge.

It's you who's missing the point really fucking hard.
The Sith want power. Kreia DOESN'T. Power is means to an end for her, not a goal in itself like for the Sith. The end is getting rid of both Jedi and Sith as they are and leaving her best apprentice to rebuild in their place. She willingly gives up her life just so this can be accomplished. Hell, she plans it from the very beginning. She rules over nothing and she doesn't want to. The Sith are all about egoism, Kreia is the antithesis of it.
You're confusing the methods with the goals.

>>323497820
Except Kreia's lessons aren't about the acquisition of power, they're about how our emotions and preconceptions about a universe governed by a god of good and bad intentions distorts our perception of reality and generates needless conflict. She's teaching you about subtlety in morality as much as subtlety in true power. She wants you to look past the Force, because you are above it.
>>
>>323498751
>>323498818
Your limited ideas of what power is were exactly what Kreia was talking about. Did you just shut your brains off on Nar Shadaa or what? She explicitly refers to this in both the "Kreia hates beggars" and "feel the Force coming from this pit" cutscenes, and it's a recurring theme in most of her teachings.

Say what you want about KOTOR II's writing, or waifu garbage, or whatever, but I thought the dialogue related to Atris's severe desire for the space D was actually some of the most poignant in the game. At least in the Restored Content mod.

>at the very end, when she's just left in the meditation chamber with the holocrons, and they basically ask her why, even at the very end, she never confessed
>Kreia before the final fight, talking about how unspoken sentiments like that are the building blocks of great tragedies

Again you miss the point. Her whole character is essentially about going Beyond Good and Evil in a universe where a mystical force enables and reinforces a slave morality that keeps the galaxy in constant and often needless conflict. She doesn't literally hate beggars. She hates the idea of them and how society reacts as a result, because it represents failure. Give to one or ignore him, neither will help root out the problem.

It's Star Wars adventures that were set so far in the past that there wasn't any chance that they'd affect canon or be limited by it.
Originally a more distinct setting from the movies in both look and level of technology, until Bioware was tasked in making an RPG and decided that it was more attractive for potential customers to live out their Star Wars fantasies than explore a more distinct setting that might alienate them. Good games though.

I know, that's just the easily understood name for that cutscene. But if you threaten to kill the beggar her lesson isn't "don't be evil", her lesson is "don't be petty because true power means manipulating people for your own ends." She's not complaining about the evil of your act, but the short-sighted pettiness of it.
>"From one act can come tremendous power, when the echo has traveled as far as it can. Send a great echo, and power will come to you."

This is also the crux of the return to Dantooine on the dark side path. She doesn't criticize you just for killing the Jedi. She criticizes you for doing so with no purpose besides short-sighted murder. (because the game doesn't let you, but still)

Also pay attention when you are manipulative and she praises you for it. She refers to it as power, as strength. She does not reject power, she does not reject using the Force, she rejects dependence upon it and short-sightedness because in the end she sees that as powerlessness in the long run. This is her interpretation of the Sith Code, not a simple rejection of it.

They can only become Jedis because of their connection to the MC, because they become bonded to him which unleashes any latent force power in them.

The MC was a very powerful force user during the Mandolorian wars since he always formed those bonds with soldiers. I mean, look at the respect he commands with Bao-Dur, a man that is a savant with machines.

Male Revan Female Exile because Bastila deserves to be cucked.

Mira's straight rejection of your advances right off the bat is fucking hilarious though. Games condition you to expect every attractive female companion to beg to suck your dick and here's the girl that outright tells you "piss off grandpa".

F/M

The general should be a male since disciple a shit. Plus, 2's companions all sound like they hopped on for adveture and shit to bro it up with a guy that they cant help but be drawn to.

Anyways, I think we can all agree that the Old republic period prior to tortanic was the most interesting of the star wars period.

Do Revan and the Exile ever meet after the events of Kotor 2 or are you just being a headcanon fag?

>>323467548
Well he kinda did in the end, by episode four there was only two jedi and two sith.

That seems pretty balanced to me

it's quite cute how she rejects you, she squeels about how you're basically a sex bomb but she has to resist because of the trouble it'd cause

yeah and some gay shit happens, don't look it up

I'm with you until you said

>This is her interpretation of the Sith Code, not a simple rejection of it.

No. It's Avellone's interpretation of Will to Power, an ethical dichotomy beyond slave morality notions of Good or Evil (or rather, Jedi/Sith), that weights both extremes before an action is taken instead of blindly, and often falsely hiding between the two. Manipulation can and is often used for the greater good (Revan's "redemption" for example) and there's nothing wrong with Power as long as the one wielding it isn't consumed by it. She wasn't interpreting any code, rather she was rejecting the very notion of codes, be they Jedi or Sith.
She wished the Galaxy to go beyond Good (Jedi) or Evil (Sith) for its betterment, and believed the Exile capable of doing so, to the point of making herself into an obstacle to overcome so he might learn.

I don't know what is it about Atris but she makes my dick rock hard.

>>323505064
If I remember right, they meet up, find the Sith Emperor, Exile dies and Revan is alive for 300 years or some shit until he dies in Tortanic. It's a fucking mess.

She wants your D

new thread where?

Should have been a romance option. Or at least a friend option instead of spooky ice women that goes crazy in asides.

>>323505167

Kreia is the betrayer anon, it doesn't go any further than that. The exile's emotions were powerful enough to cut himself completely off from the force, something that Kreia wants to do but is too weak to. She found him to use his gaping force vagina.. to go do some things

You know, the end game doesn't really make much sense in all honesty.
>>
>>323505167
Within the context of Star Wars lore, will to power is absolutely a form of the Sith Code. The flawed interpretations of the Sith Code by power-hungry Sith mirror flawed interpretations of will to power, mainly by fascists.

>>323504703
Man, come on. I get that you want to be pedantic here, but what you're saying isn't true at all.

>the euphemism "to care for" is used repeatedly throughout the game to describe romantic feelings when they're ostensibly forbidden, including in Atris's case
>the jealous rage she shows at the Handmaiden is waaaaay beyond what we could assume of someone who just admires someone
>goes on a furious rant about how "there is no love in that one, he is only a shell" etc., chastising the Handmaiden for falling in love with the Exile. That level of bitterness is disproportional for just admiring someone the way you're implying she loves him, and it's in her tone as much as it is in the actual written stuff.
>"she loved you as one loves a champion" doesn't preclude romantic sentiment at all. It actually has chivalric connotations, which makes your point patently bad.
>After the Exile leaves, she has a moment where the holocrons ask her why she didn't tell him how she felt, and she basically just says "It wouldn't have changed anything, and because I was afraid." Why all the immense trepidation and hullabaloo over such a benign sentiment as simple hero worship? Can unacknowledged hero worship seriously have the same effect as whatever you did to Atris?

Not only are you wrong, you're also being a douche about it, and what's the point of that?

Fuck off, retard. Just fuck off.

She loves your D so much she even keeps your lightsaber as a trophy.

>>323475805
She is 100% a sith, just a less edgy, more pragmatic kind.

You are trying to ascribe traits to her that don't hold up in reality. Everything is just a tool to her

>>323506138

Yes yes, she hates the force. Okay, she finds your gaping force vagina. Now what? There's no rationale for what happens other than your personal journey. It's a story where you just have to go with it.
