Yeah, bluster aside I assume most of the reason why Random Dirt Farmer With A Blaster #391 tries to take on these legendary heroes/villains is because they don't have much choice. Hell it's sort of one of the ironies of light and dark side choices for Imperial characters, a lot of the time the light side choice is taking them alive so they can be tortured in an Imperial prison for everything they know then executed. I was playing the Bonus chapter to Shadowrun: Hong Kong the other night after accidentally discovering that it existed, and it was funny while running raids on corporate labs to have the companions remark "Hey remember how we beat that horrific demigod? And now rent-a-cops are shooting at us." Anyone you tried to use that reasoning on would just shrug and say "A job's a job."

 Sith Warrior Shadows of Revan Update 23: A Daring Rescue..?  Click for Video  I haven’t had any problems with them--so far. Always be at least a little guarded. Not the worst way to live, considering all the betrayal on display. You have no idea. As I mentioned earlier, I did acquire some information worth noting. Rishii observations surrounding the Revanite stronghold fit what we know: they’re holding powerful warships on standby, and they’re well protected.  That is the kind of self-assurance I like to hear! I don’t believe Miss Beniko was finished, Jakarro. We’ve been unable to reach the Imperial fleet nearing Rishi, but I can confirm from the Nova Blades’ datalogs that Darth Marr’s flagship is among them. Get to work on a solution for our connection issues. He needs to know what’s coming. I’m working to remap the interface patterns into code that protocol droids on approaching ships should be able to decipher--if they’re any good. Press on. Stall their ships if you can, and we’ll do what we can from here to reach the fleet and lend support as needed. This technical junk would be much easier with Theron around. I’m no pushover, but you aren’t joking! We do hope Agent Shan is recovered. Yes--preferably alive. Now go show the Revanites--and, fate willing, Revan himself--why you are not to be trifled with. How. What? How did we possibly miss those on the way in?  That’s a nice AA gun. Let me borrow it.    There. A holorecord of Theron under interrogation. Coordinates are coming your way. And Revan? No indication he’s there… but no indication he isn’t, either. I wouldn’t let my guard down.    Click for Video  Oh, now that’s subtle. Revan. Or a pale shadow thereof. So, your victory’s pre-ordained then? Yes. I guess I should just give up. Wait, no. I’m going to do the opposite of that. Theron Shan’s fate doesn’t matter. Neither does yours. I’m changing the fate of the galaxy itself. All I see is you trying to destroy everything. The only upside in your being here, really, is that you get to bear witness. My plan’s too far along for you to stop it now.   Don’t listen to him--it’s not over yet! Theron! There you are. It’s nice to have my--apparently only--competent ally back. Figured I had a lot to tell you, so I broke out. Guess I could’ve saved myself the trouble. Don’t know how much Lana or Revan told you, but he’s lured the Imperial and Republic command fleets to Rishi. Revan wants to draw them into a fight, try to take out the leadership. It’ll barely be a fight. Revanites embedded on both sides are gonna sabotage shields, weapons--you name it--and we can’t warn them. Revan had the Nova Blades build him a signal jammer. No communications at all up in Rishi space. It’ll be a bloodbath. One call to Jakarro and no more signal jammer. The Revanites have that thing protected. You send Jakarro out there and he and Deefour become part of the landscape. That would be a shame. I kinda like that droid. Are you finished? Yeah, sure.      Why do you always have such bad luck with computers?   Where’s the Earth-shattering kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom! Hello? Are you there? I appear to have sliced through four layers of encryption to remotely deactivate the power core. Just in the nick of time. Don’t know if I could’ve managed that, even. That’s because she’s been playing useless this whole time. Theron. Good to know you’re alive. I heard everything--about the jammer, all of it. We need to regroup for an immediate attack. Whatever happens… be proud of what we’ve accomplished up to now. See you soon. Click for Video Alright, take it easy. I’m not exactly a hundred percent, and you’re not exactly gentle. Oh, good! The team’s back together again--all thanks to you for saving Theron, of course. Modesty! I might be sick…. Theron, you have the intelligence on this signal jammer. You start. Yes.  Jammer’s on a nearby island. You’ve probably seen it. Can’t be sliced remotely, lots of Revanitze zealots protecting it… the usual hopeless nightmare, basically. Let them try to stop me.

If you're romancing Theron, he reveals that Revan pretty much dropped the whole torture/questions thing when he learned Theron was his great grandson and was trying to bring Theron into his service. Fortunately, Theron has no love for the Jedi in general and for the crazy ones even less so.

 ##Begin Log## Captain’s Log, entry #[REDACTED] Stardate: [DOUBLE-REDACTED]  Ever since Tython I've been doing my best to keep a low profile, and that means cutting back on writing all my secrets where anybody who can guess the Miel Muwn's network password can find them. Had a little personal business on Rishi though, and it stuck with me, so I figured there's no harm in getting it out.  Going to Rishi wasn't my idea. I'd been having trouble finding leads on Colonel Darok, and then Theron went dark only to wind up with a stack of phoney charges on his head. At that point we were basically just cruising from port to port and trusting to luck.  Speaking of trusting to luck, somebody really needs to teach Corso how to play cards.  quote:Corso: Hmph. Better ways to spend my time.  Seems I was right being careful about leaving evidence lying around on the ship's computer. If our mystery slicer's reading this log right now, well, hope you're enjoying yourself. quote:Corso: Rishi? The pirate hideout?   I'm not gonna talk about if we made any progress on our investigation once we landed – that's the kind of top-secret stuff I'm trying to keep a lid on – but like I said, I did have a bit of side business while we were there, involving an old friend.  Remember Beryl Thorne? If you're the mystery slicer, maybe you don't – and shame on you for not reading my backlog to get up to speed. Beryl's another “independent captain” like myself I met back on Taris. Her and Risha have... let's call it history. quote:Beryl Thorne: You know there's a Republic representative to Port Nowhere now? It's almost like you cleaned up the place.  Smuggling those Tarisian “core samples” out from under agent Soganti's nose (RIP) was a fine bit of work. In fact, Beryl's friendly family heirloom retrieval service was my second-favorite memory from that garbage ball of a planet. My favorite was that bottle of Cassandran brandy she had. quote:Beryl Thorne: Just the fortune for today.  We weren't in the middle of anything too time-sensitive and I always like catching up with an old friend, so me and Risha made for her landing pad. Risha and Beryl might not be on the best terms, but when there's a fortune to be made she can overlook a little history.  Recommended for reunions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcQa2VzgqVo   Like I said, Risha's up for the money, but she and Beryl have a pretty strict “no talking to each other” policy. quote:Quentine: Beryl. So what have you been up to? Just the kind of stupid rule I'd expect the Senate to pass. Never miss a chance to blast ourselves in the foot. quote:Quentine: Where's your droid? Argo?  Okay, so I only buzzed Ilum before seeing how much frostbite we were looking at, but the rest of what's gone on is crazy enough that it blends right in. Weird to think that Hutt infighting Beryl mentioned was a side-effect of me bringing the Cartel to heel back on Makeb. Which means I'm part of the reason she lost Argo. Probably for the best I didn't point that out. quote:Beryl Thorne: You're good, but I think someone's feeding your ego. It didn't. I'm just terrible of keeping up on galactic gossip. quote:Beryl Thorne: Former businessman, retired to a moon of Hosko about a decade back. Pretty sedate tastes for a Hutt, likes to avoid trouble.  Sounds like typical Hutt problem-solving to me – make a run for it with all your money and hope someone else fixes it. Basically Makeb all over again. quote:Quentine: The war's only getting worse, and if it's over in ten years? I doubt Garblaque will like the outcome.  I have to admit, the question caught me off-guard. I'd never imagined escaping the war before, that it was even possible. For a rich enough Hutt I guess just about anything is. quote:Beryl Thorne: Is that wrong? Hutts can be good conversationalists, and I'm just – I'm tired of the fighting. You must be, too.  I'd be lying if I said the idea didn't appeal to me at least a little bit. Not that I'm desperate for a way out, or that I'm all that close to Beryl. It's just... well, even with everything going on in the galaxy, smugglers don't usually have long before they get taken out or retire. Am I still going to be jetting around the galaxy punching out Sith five years from now? quote:Beryl Thorne: Not an ending – a new beginning.  quote:Quentine: Blow things up, watch the droid, steal the tickets. Not a problem.  The plan was simple, especially considering the payoff. That's the thing about stealing from pirates, though – it's usually a lot easier than stealing from whoever they robbed in the first place.  I told Risha about the plan, but she wasn't exactly thrilled. Sure, the tickets were worth plenty of credits, but it's not like she needed a way out. Her planet, Dubrillion, is just about ready for its queen to return. If anything it kinda looks like she's stalling. Don't tell her I said that, though.  Finding and hitting the pirate cargo wasn't hard. You couldn't throw a thermal detonator in Rishi without blowing up a pallet of loot. The hard part was sneaking out in the confusion to keep the pirates from guessing what was going on.  A few arsons later and Beryl gave us the heads-up that the droid was on its way, and she had a good guess where it was headed. We'd managed to keep away from any guards so far, so now all we had to do was beat them to the jackpot.  I took a moment on the ride over to try and figure how some backwater buccaneers got their hands on a couple dozen tickets for the most exclusive joyride in the galaxy. I mean, obviously they stole them, that goes with being pirates, but it's not like any small-time outfit gets a crack at a prize that rich. Maybe they just got lucky.  The coordinates Beryl gave us were for a hidden landing pad out on the water, just big enough for one small shuttle. Whoever these pirates were, they'd obviously been relying on stealth to keep their precious loot safe – most of the work on this job was probably in how Beryl got the info in the first place.  Seems like we'd beat them to the punch. Everything was going nice and smooth until...  Yeah. Seems they didn't just send a droid – the pirate captain figured out our game and tried to jump us while we were cracking his treasure chest.  The captain was this big, meaty Houk who mostly just tried to tear us limb from limb. Risha had a lot of trouble drawing a bead on him with her sniper rifle at that range, so I let my scattergun do most of the heavy lifting  Now there's one fewer pirate captain in the galaxy. The set of keys he had on his belt saved us some time on the chest, too, so I'll call that a net win.  We grabbed the tickets and headed back to Beryl's landing pad. Risha was a little quiet on the walk back. She didn't say it, but I think she might've been worried I was about to ride off into the sunset. Well, as you probably guessed, things weren't that simple. Recommended for a plan B. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQEFR4MO0xM  quote:Quentine: Got them. Two dozen tickets to Garblaque's luxury dreadnought.  And there you have it. Getting out was never on the table. Guess that explains what the Houk and his crew were doing on Rishi instead of packing their things for a ten-year cruise, moving golden tickets takes time and they must've thought a pirate planet would be perfect to lay low. quote:Beryl Thorne: We can sell them, no problem, but we're not going anywhere. Truth is, even if these tickets turned out to be a bust, I've racked up more than my fair share of credits over the last couple years. I figure if I wanted out I could probably buy one of Garblaque's tickets outright. Would I, though?  quote:Quentine: I'm doing something good. And I won't abandon the people who rely on me. Even if a luxurious early retirement is tempting, I couldn't relax leaving the galaxy the way it is. Besides, Jolune'd never forgive me if she heard I blew off solving this whole conspiracy business. Doesn't mean Beryl should leave Rishi empty-handed, though.  quote:Quentine: Doesn't have to be privateer work. The Supreme Chancellor owes me a few favors.  quote:Beryl Thorne: Too bad the only people who can afford tickets don't really need them. The ones who've already got gangs and armies for protection. I might've laid it on a bit thick there.  quote:Quentine: Never figured we were. Beryl's a good woman, she doesn't deserve the kind of trouble she's had to deal with. Soon as we're off Rishi I'll check with the Chancellor and see if my credit's good for a pardon, if the Republic can overlook my record they should be willing to do the same for her.  I met up with Risha afterward and told her about the tickets. She chewed me out a bit for letting Beryl give them away to the needy when we could've made enough credits to buy our own moon, but still, I think she was a little happy to hear I wasn't going anywhere. That's enough getting sidetracked for now. We've still got a job to do here on Rishi, and the leads we're picking up – well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. drat if old mean, red and ugly isn't at it again. ##End Log## Dolash fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Aug 30, 2016 |

Quentine seems to refer to a location called "Porn Nowhere" in this update. That can't be right... there's no way that's an accurate description of the place. But really? Giving away a pathetic two dozen tickets to the needy? That's inconsequential no matter how you look at it. No, no, no, it would have been much better to sell them to the worst crime lords you can find, so they would go away for a decade. Just imagine what could be done with that opportunity.

Paging doctor Freud! Typo fixed. And yeah, the whole cruise idea's a bit flimsy. Selling the tickets to some honchos then donating the proceeds to help a much larger number of refugees, for example, would make sense. It's not like being a pitiable charity case on a ten-year cruise with a bunch of Hutts, rich gangsters and businessmen outside of the bounds of society is a guarantee of safety either - I can see that cruise going Bioshock pretty fast. It is sort of neat from a sci-fi perspective to consider that once you have interstellar space travel, advanced technology and a whole galaxy to explore, someone wealthy enough could just opt out of society entirely and cruise off into the unknown. Heck, the Rishi maze is a whole mysterious and underexplored dwarf galaxy thing clinging to the edge of the main galaxy, the "Great War" is only really taking up a fraction of the space available.

Sith Warrior Shadows of Revan Update 24: A Dialogue Option Nobody has Ever Chosen  Click for Video      We read you. … That’s it? No words of advice? Nothing? I think we lost connection. I knew we should’ve switched to Space Verizon. Well, whatever. This won’t be so bad. Kill some mooks. Sneak through a hole in the-- … What?  Hey, developers, don’t put side-paths and obvious map holes if you don’t want players to explore them! It’s fine, Vette. We’ll just go the way we’re supposed to.  Oh look, the bosses are in pairs this time. How much you want to bet it’ll be two troopers, and then a sith/jedi combo? Not taking that. My money’s on them enraging if you kill one before the other, that’s a trick the game hasn’t played before.   The Remaining Adversary Rages at the Death of Their Ally!   Okay, you’re in. There’s a forcefield between you and that jammer. You’ll have to gather a set of security codes to pass through. Great, so we’ve reached the pointless busywork part of the flashpoint. Signal’s going to start breaking up soon. Talk to you when you get that jammer shut down.    Second verse, same as the first.        Tempting, but let’s do that thing where we’re not shortsighted morons.  Click for Video    Oh no, a walker unit.  Is that an acronym? What? Y’know. Walking… Automatic… uh, Legged Killing Energized Recon unit? No, Vette. Just… no. It’s just another boss that’s too tall to take good combat screenshots of.                     Who was that? Nobody imp--  Blooper. Whoops! Wait a sec. Need to adjust my 3D monitor. There we go. Click for Video (Recommended Viewing) Quite a significant occasion. I see you’ve begun without me. We both felt time was of the essence, Wrath. Satele Shan, Grand Master of the Jedi Order. Your intervention allowed us to defend ourselves against the Revanite fleet. Many thousands owe their lives to your actions. And the all-encompassing rot of the Order of Revan has been excised from our fleets. Now we turn to the matter of Revan himself. And you didn’t tell… me. I thought you’d give Rishi a laugh and let the Republic and Imperial fleets kill each other. I thought you’d know me better by now.    Starting with you. Ending with me. What? What.    No, seriously. Who is that? Nobody imp-- That went surprisingly well, I think   Unbelievable. Where’s the trust? Huh? Did it go wander off someplace, or was it never there to start with? It happened. It’s over. It’s in the past. Let it go. Exactly! It is what I tell the droid all the time! Oh, yes. It’s virtually constant. I say enough of this. We need to focus on the Revanites! Isn’t there… anything else you wanted first? Yes, will that be all? Don’t have to tell me twice. C’mon, Jakarro. Yes, let us go before I see anything I cannot unsee!

That bit with "Isn't there... anything else you wanted first?" "Yes, will that be all?" was thirsty as gently caress. Come on guys, even the Wookie could tell. "Let your agony fuel you" is also the best, Sithy way to say you don't feel the same way I've ever seen. Good on Vette for suppressing her laughter.

Heh, I will grant Lana is a fun romance (died laughing in the last chapter of KOTFE when she bitched about how my character always picked the worst times to kiss her) but man that's kind of a pushy sell. Given the frequent complaints I've heard about Bioware romances I do have to grant Theron/Lana at least lack the problematic subtext of most of the other relationship options; they are very much treated as more or less equals and they're certainly mentally healthy adults. Although since we've gotten Battle of Rishi, may I say gently caress the hard mode version of that flashpoint's final boss. It summons adds that pretty much melted my group repeatedly the one chance I tried for the Dark vs Light achievement from there, ridiculous how much harder it is than most of the operations/raids I've done. Then again at least it's not giving me a "Detail Data Missing" thing preventing me from getting two levels of the Dark vs Light achievement done like Manaan at the moment *sigh*.

And she's got a point in that the potential value was near priceless and she had good backup nearby to pull him out. And it paid off in spades. So yeah, I get that he's annoyed with it and would have preferred to have been consulted, but I'd expect an SIS master spy to be a bit more pragmatic.

He's been tortured and has just found out that Revan's his great grand-pappy in what was probably the most awkward "join me, I am secretly your relative" reveal in history. Plus, he just spent the last half-hour with his mom (and if you're romancing him, you find out she doesn't even bother to ask how he's doing, which is the Jedi). He's more than a little upset and Lana's really the only available target. Satele does care about him, but the only time she expresses it openly is if you do something incredibly stupid in content yet to come. No spoilers if you know what I mean, I plan on chatting about it once we get there. If you side with Lana here you can actually talk some sense into him, and if you side with Theron you can help Lana understand why he's upset (because she doesn't). Mort's being kinda a blunt jerk mostly because I like to give  So, now that we're done with Rishi, I have to say that I really feel like Shadows of Revan would've been better with Darth Malgus instead of Darth Marr. I know Darth Marr's the guy from the Dark Council that everyone likes. I also know it was never in the cards for Imperial players to join Malgus's rebellion (but at the same time, wanting the emperor out of the picture would've made much more sense if they had). But mostly, Malgus has a long history with Satele Shan and her Marr and Malgus are both surprisingly reasonable, pragmatic Sith, so they both work. I just feel that using Malgus--who had a long working relationship with all the player classes thanks to flashpoint missions--would've made more sense than a guy who's worked with the agent or bounty hunter precisely once, on Makeb. Marr's reaction to the Emperor's Wrath telling him his fleet's full of traitors is reasonable. Marr doing the same thing for some Randolorian Bounty Hunter who's working pro-bono and calling from a known pirate nest is... a bit less so. Marr still works, and he's still the second best Sith (after Vowrawn). I'm probably just still salty that Malgus went out like a whiny chump.

He saw his chance, he made his move, and he quite possibly might have gotten away with it if he hadn't immediately positioned himself as the top priority threat to both the Empire and the Republic. I'm not sure if the Republic side Ilum arc is a spoiler, but if Malgus hadn't done what he did in the final cutscene, the Republic might very well have decided to leave him alone for the time being, and he could have snapped up a significant chunk of the Empire with little effort. But he just had to be an rear end in a top hat about it and declare war on both sides simultaneously. He had a good plan and good resources, but as usual for plans made by Sith the biggest glaring flaw in the plan was, well, Sith being Sith.
