And the Exile, who is explicitly called "a hole in the Force," comes back as a force ghost. People are saying that KotOR 2 and Kreia are effectively retconned, but I can't find anything more specific than that, so it may be overreactions about some plot twist that affects KotOR 2's story. People are also calling its gameplay standard MMO stuff, which doesn't surprise me. Still, people are saying some of the storylines, including the Imperial Agent, are incredibly good, so that's good news. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Not to say it wont still be a good polished gameplay experience though. -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out <cite>SovietOmega posted [p:407743] in Star Wars ...

I seriously hope this guy is just trolling. the biggest grievance being making the Exile a regular Jedi, and retconning Darth Nihlius while giving the **ing Sith Emperor in TOR the EXACT SAME POWER to eat planets. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.

Anagram 10/02/11 12:08:00 AM #6:	Bam more information, this time about the Revan novel, so massive spoilers There are three main characters throughout: Revan, the Exile (now named Meetra Surik,) and a Sith Lord in the Emperor's service named Darth Scourge. Revan's story is pretty simple. His dreams are bothering so he leaves his newly pregnant wife to go find out what's going on. He starts off his quest by visiting a planet the Mandolorians are on and helping Canderous find the old Mandalore's mask. Kills Canderous' wife in the process. The information he finds there leads him to the Emperor's home world, which has been stripped of life and made completely empty of the Force. Revan upon leaving is shot down by Scourge and his master and then drugged for two years so he can't do anything. Scourge is also pretty simple. He's brought to the Imperial capital as part of a political machinations between the council right under the Emperor. He goes around doing things for them, though its pretty painful to read as he likes the tactic of bullrushing shooting enemies while hoping his armor protects him instead of blocking with his lightsaber and cutting people apart. Eventually he learns that the person he's under and a number of the people on the Dark Council are talking about betraying the Emperor because he wants to go after the Republic again. But they're all talk and don't do anything. Eventually they capture Revan and keep him captive for two years. Drugged Revan talks and does him mojo on this guy during this time, none that we actually see, and doesn't actually matter much since it doesn't come to much in the end. Except for the last bit, where he says he has a vision of escape. Then you have the Exile, Meetra Surik. Bastila finds her and sends her after Revan. First thing you should know, is that Karpyshyn takes the game he did not write for and retcons everything interesting out of it. The Exile is a normal Jedi who was cut off from the Force and became a normal Jedi when she got it back. The Sith Lords are barely even mentioned aside from the fact that they hunted down the Jedi. Oh, Nihilus' power doesn't exist, in fact it can't exist. A big deal is made that the Emperor does the same thing and its something nobody has ever experienced before. The planet he stripped of the force to empower himself is very traumatic to Meetra, despite her in the game being the same thing. So, that part of the story of KOTOR 2 is retconned. Along with everything that came with it. Anyway, she goes and finds this world and eventually ends up on the Imperial Capital. She finds Scourge, gets him to help her rescue Revan since he was told by him that a rescue would be coming and go and face the Emperor. Oh, Meetra is completely overwhelmed by Scourges master Sith through the use of Sith Lighting until Revan comes out and murderizes her to save the damsel. Anyway, they go face the Emperor where the three of them go face to face, until Scourge gets a vision of a different Jedi facing the Emperor. Figuring this must be the red skinned bastard's eventual killer, he stabs Meetra in the back with his lightsaber and the Emperor electrocutes Revan into submission. He locks Revan up in cryo to spend time plumbing his mind for information to help with his takeover of the Republic. Meetra's spirit refuses to join the Force and sticks with Revan to help him resist. Revan puts thoughts of caution into the Emperor's head, which is how he delays the coming invasion. The end. I wish I was describing satire or fanfiction, but I'm not so lucky. -- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig. Started: July 6, 2005 <cite>Anagram posted [p:407745] in Star Wars ...

If the Eurogamer Expo article is any indication the beginning sucks, and if your beginning sucks you're in an extremely bad position when it comes to keeping players. The most important part in a mmo are the first few levels, you need to hook up the player right away otherwise he'll get bored quickly.
