While Nihilus was a meme villain and Darth Sion seemed manichaean until the final showdown in Malachor, Darth Traya/Kreia is the finest villain in SW and only contrarians think otherwise.
I mean, what else is there in SW to compare her to? Vader, The Emperor, all Kyle Katarn villains etc. were bad compared to her - only Grand Admiral Thrawn would probably come really close.

I'm pretty confident that Avellone doesn't hate Star Wars, he just doesn't like how manichean it is and thinks the jedi/sith are cunts (which they are, that's a fact, not even an opinion).

If I'm wrong however, he is a genuine masochist then since he allegedly went through as many EU stories, books, comics, etc. as possible in preparation for writing the story.

>If I'm wrong however, he is a genuine masochist then since he allegedly went through as many EU stories, books, comics, etc. as possible in preparation for writing the story.
If he didn't hate Star Wars at first, then he surely did hate it later after reading all that crap

That doesn't mean the writer's perspective isn't that she's objectively correct.
It's really pretty funny that a game pushing so hard to throw out objective morality pushes the antagonists morality in your face as an objective truth you have no means to disprove or even disagree with without your dialogue sounding like a drooling vagina.

Kotor 1 + 2 has a richer story and worldbuilding than all the disney star wars combined.

Ever single character is more memorable than the Disney Wars characters.

I'd rather play pazaak than watch Disney Wars, I gave up up after Rogue 1. I don't care what happens anymore.

Kreias philosophy is not nihilistic in the slightest. Her entire "rule" boils down to living your life with a meaning of your own instead of wasting it by following someone elses dogma. Idiots think that Kreia wants you to be "grey" or "neutral" when in reality she tries to teach you to be your own master. The "apathy is death" teaching is embodied in being forced to pick a side when your imaginary party members turn on imaginary Kreia, and if youre afraid of choosing, it means you arent in control of your goals

Anyone who thinks Kreia isnt the best star wars villain is entitled to thinking that way since I also like Palpatine way too much but the people who try to demean the unfinished masterpiece that is kotor 2 by saying its "2deep4u" while it actually clearly WAS too deep for them are the worst type of retards
>>
>>84432976
to add to this, this is why Kreia idolizes Revan far more than Revan probably ever did for any of his masters (or for the very least, how Avellone portrayed Revan). Revan is basically the "perfect" human according to Kreia's practically objectively correct philosophy. Revan was portrayed as being so completely in control of his own goals and so free of of the jedi or sith dogma that he freely "fell" to the dark side for his plan.
>>

youre a fool if you think disney cares about good story

they care about money, which means appealing to the widest spread of people at one time, which generally means bad, cliched, tame and unimaginative story, they aren't willing to take risks so there is zero chance they will make something special

the old star wars might looks formulaic now, but when they came out there was nothing else like them and thats a part of what made them so good
>>
I agree Kreia is a good character but kotor 2 really isnt deep as you people make it out to be. Could be different if it was actually finished.

>>
>>84436423
you've discovered the secret of KOTOR 2
>>
>>84436506

Kreia was not a moral individualistic relativist, she specifically did everything to use the jedi exile to kill the force so the galaxy would be free of the stupidity of the sith/jedi, because she knew in the long term that the continued galactic conflicts that would continue ad infinitum would damage more lives than the damage she would do with her plan, she even explains this to you at the end of the godamn game.
>>
>>84436702
go back faggot
>>
>>84436702
Good work ignoring everything up until then
She has the balls to want to kill an inherent part of the universe for arbitrary reasons but gets really fuckin indignant at you for wanting to restore Telos because she thinks it's a waste of your time to help heal a planet and that it's not your place to determine such a thing. She also despised altruism so there was definitely no good will on her part in trying to save any potential lives in the long run.
>>
>>84436844

she didn't directly despise altruism, she says you should only do it when it also furthers your goals too.

her lesson with the 5 credit guy is that even if you have good intentions your altruism often doesn't make a difference - that example alone is probably one of the most poignant life lessons I've ever seen in a video game.

she was against altruism simply for the sake of altruism
>>
>>84436702
>>84436844
The whole point is that Kreia is still a flawed person and ultimately a villain

Wanting to end the influence the force has on humanity is her personal vendetta. She isnt doing it for the greater good even if it happens to be so from a certain point of view

>altruism simply for the sake of altruism

that's literally what fucking defines altruism, so yes you agree with me that she despised it, so claims she was doing all this bullshit to save lives in the future is utter fucking garbage to say
>>
>>84436702
She literally says she doesnt want the force to die, because that would mean the death of life and there would be no victory in such a thing. She wants the galaxy to be free of its influence, especially from the sith and jedi who both betrayed her. This is why the exile was so special to her. One who turned away from the force, and the jedi and sith, but still lived.
>>
>>84436915
>>84437047
Kreia isn't against altruism, she's against rigidly adhering to a set of beliefs just because it's expected of you in lieu of thinking for yourself. That scene is meant to mock people who just make decisions in RPGs based on what morality points they get

People always forget that Kreia doesn't even demand you agree with her; you can tell her she's wrong but as long you don't completely blow her off and say you're think on what she tells you you'll still gain influence

Kreia: muh hand. virtue is in the middle. fuck the force. i luv u exile. don't fuk my daughter. don't fuck the blind one. machines suck. sion is a retard. nihilus is useless. atris a cuck. council are redditors. u da jedi nao. muh h- *dies*

kotor fags need to kill themselves and stop bitching. It's a fun game, but it's not a fucking movie. Movies are not video games. The story would not bring anything knew to the table because kotor is just a reiteration of the star wars story.

Someone didn't level up wisdom enough. You can disagree with her constantly the entire game, if you have the points to argue your side she'll like you. Also don't insult her intelligence. I was probably 80/20 Light side and I had mad buddy points with her. She can even concede you're the better person at the end of the game.

Bioware didn't have a problem doing it by themselves, in fact, Obsidian admitted there's no way it could've happened without all the technical assistance Bioware gave them.
>>
>>84430779
That's not really true, you can argue with her and reject her points; she's just obstinate and committed to her beliefs. One of the reasons she has contempt for your other companions is that they will mostly just follow your lead on what to do or believe.

I recently replayed it and didn't really have that problem (I was on a high Int/Cha build and had every skill above 30 by the end, so I saw pretty much every dialogue option) with one exception. At the end of the rebuilt Enclave, there's one point where you literally cannot say anything intelligent to her to show that you learned the lesson. It's the last line of dialogue before she stuns you and leaves you to die.

She doesn't leave you to die, she knows you'll survive and she knows you'll come to Malachor. You can't tell her you've learned the lesson because to her, the lesson is not yet complete.

KOTOR 2 is literally the most you can do with star wars, which literally a children's franchise to sell toys.

The Kotor comic book series was also pretty good, and touched on some similar dark themes as well, and why the the Jedi are doomed to fail, even though they live in a Manichean universe.

I wouldn't be surprised if they disney movies move to the Kotor themes as well, Luke saying "the jedi must end" is more of the grey jedi philosophy Kreia was saying. Lucas vision for the universe wasn't deep at all, all villains are essentially corrupted beings, who have no other motives other than the amassing of power. Antagonists like Kreia, the Mandalorians and Thrawn would never exist in a Lucas star wars movie.

That is nihilism you absolute brainlet. She is literally eschewing Nietzschean master morality and slave morality and advocating that you create your own moral virtues. She wants the force to die much Nietzsche proclaimed God to be dead so a new set of guiding principles could be established. You are a tard and it shames me that other brainlets have deemed your post enlightening.

>>84452336
Kreia does not want the force to die no matter how much you hear brainlets say it, she wants to end the influence it has on people through humans like the Exile who have separated themselves from it in all ways that they should. Kreia's "philosophy" has nothing to do with nihilism. Nihilism is the "edgy" shit people claim Kreia spouts when she is literally just telling you to not live according to a religion (which works immaculately in an RPG where people are making choices based on alignments)
>>
>>84428942
Nah. It's a cool game, but to me it didn't really feel like Star Wars. More like a story made by someone who doesn't like Star Wars and wants to deconstruct it.

She hates the force, she wish it didn't exist. She saw the death of the force and a possibility for a new type of force user.

>>84452495
Once again that is nihilism. Or more specifically ethical nihilism, you are too obsessed with the edgy meme to be coherent and you have no idea what you are talking about.
>>
>>84453953
"Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy."

Definition of Nihilism has nothing in common with what Kreia thinks. Youre obviously far too ignorant to think that something doesnt fit into the same box your masters preconceived
>>
>>84452495
Holy shit read a fucking book and stop basing your opinions off of memes. You know nothing about nihilism other than "lol nothing exists man" that isn't what nihilism is.
>>
>>84454020
>durr read a book about someone else telling you how to think man u kno nothing

Not a single philosopher has said anything of value that boils down to anything but a glorified opinion. Even if I "read a book" (which I tend to do sometimes) it would have nothing to do with Kreia not being a nihilist. Youre simply too retarded and are panicking whenever something threatens to even slightly escape your little box, causing you to compulsively shove it back in and try to say its exactly like X thing you already know
>>
>>84454073
>books are nothing but opinions
Haha holy shit you are a brainlet
>>
>>84454196
How fucking retarded are you? I said philosophers are nothing but people spouting glorified opinions

Go kill yourself "brainlet". Do you actually need other people to think for you, and are then stupid enough to be proud about it?

>There is much weight, much craving attached to such a tiny thing of light. For the male, it seems to have inordinate importance. But we shall leave such male preoccupations for philosophers and cultural historians.

Kreia's pretty lewd.

>>84428942
Can you fuck off? I adore this game in every respect, but fuck me I am sick of seeing people whine about it needing a show or movie. I know that's not what you post says, but you posted it on /tv/ and it makes you sound like on of those retards.

Something set in that era would be fine, just leave the game alone, there's no reason to adapt it.

Based on what? Because it suits your retarded ad hominem? I simply googled the definition of nihilism and pasted it into the thread because it already shows just how wrong the retards are who keep trying to lump Kreia in with nihilism

If you explain to her what you are doing she usually backs down. She's much more interested in why you are doing something than what you are actually doing
