Let's Play: Knights of the Old Republic COMPLETE

[woodaba]

Alright, so, it seems were siding with the Elders then!

 

[woodaba]

You can come back and kill the Elders afterwards right?
I don't like loose ends lol.

I'll also cast my vote for helping the elders. Space hitler may appeal to Varen, but I don't think she would want the competition, and giving him knowledge about the temple and the Star Forge is not something you want to give to space hitler. Is there a way after going through the temple to destroy the other tribe that you didn't side with? Eliminating both tribes once they both become useless to you?.

I'm almost certain you can't. We need one of the tribes to get into the temple, and the temple it the Point of No Return: entering it puts you on a fast track to the finale. But, I'll see what I can do.

Nah, you are wrong, i remember there was some kind of sidequest about their genetic code or something that you collect from the temple.

All you need to do is take a detour to their settlement after you leave the temple (you walk to the ship yourself), get access to it saying that you have the data (i don't know if you truly need the data or not) and...

Proclaim to them that "the true dark lord has returned, bow down to me!!!!"

Have fun slaughtering them (cue evil laughter)
muahhamuahahahamuahahahahahahamuahahahahahaha.

Oh, well, I honestly didn't know that. Thanks for the tip though!

 

[Shadows Risen]

If you can wipe them both out, do it? I've never actually seen that before...

[HEADING=2]Update 39: Darth Shan[/HEADING]

My fucking GOD this update has been an absolute nightmare to get out. Photobucket reearanging all your pictures in a seemingly random way for the sole purpose of trolling you is bad enough, but the fact that Doctor Who is on has led to a sharp drop in my productivity. Oy. Hopefully the next update won't nearly be as late, but considering the extra-large size I've planned for it and the fact that Imageshack isn't as fast at imbedding as Photobucket was, well, it could be a while.

Spoiler: The End is in sight. Lets hope I don't trip at the finish line.

Last time, we spoke with both the One, (no, not that one) and the leader of the Elders, representatives of tribes which are a a collection of massive assholes, and another collection of assholes who are slightly less upfront about being assholes respectively. We decided to do the Elder's bidding and eliminate the One, who is basically a googly-eyed Space-Hitler. But if they think that precludes them from an lightsaber to the gut themselves, well, they've got another thing coming...

Our chats with the leaders of the Elders done, we go to look for sidequests.

We come across a room Varen very much approve of.

"I do love a good torture chamber."

"I'm sorry, have we met?"

"So, what are you doing?"

"No, nimrod, I mean, what are you doing this evening? OF COURSE I MEAN YOUR RESEARCH! What do I look like, a functioning member of society? Because that's the impression I'm getting."

"That sounds a lot more effective than whatever we use to make our ships fly. ...What DO we use to make our ships fly?"

"I dunno. Maybe God did it, like in that really fucking stupid Justice League comic."

"So, no Rakata can use the force?"

"So, wait. Let me get this straight. You kidnap members of the other tribes, perform horrific
experiments on them, all to win back the power that made you the emperors of the Galaxy? And you're meant to be the good guys?"

"Yes! Fuck the Witcher, we're the ones who really have the whole "ambigous morality" thing down!"

As much as I don't think this dynamic is particularly intentional, it's interesting enough that I'm going to give you a by-ball on this, Karpyshyn.

"Yeah! And with our next flagship series, we're planing on giving you three ultimately identical options, each seemingly beneficial on the surface, but each one kils everyone anyway."

"Another ME3 ending joke? Come on, Narrator. The internet got bored of those the second you started making them."

Shut up, Varen.

"Alright, fine. I'll rob the ancient secrets of your people that your tribe is so intent on keeping from falling into the wrong hands. Note that I am obviously, definitely, the wrong hands."

That done, we continue to explore the compound, seeing, among other, less interesting, reused sights...

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/228/2012090500057.jpg/]

...a church, or temple thing, though sadly we don't get to learn anything about the Rakata faith. Though I imagine it's King Dickhead ruling over a pantheon of Arseholes...

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/214/2012090500058.jpg/]

...and a barbeque. Now you are all imagining the Rakata with australian accents. Your welcome.

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/152/2012090500059.jpg/]

We go to meet the Loremaster of this tribe, to find the Elder perspective on Rakata history.

"Who are you?"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/109/2012090500062.jpg/]

"Enough of your mindless prattle. I don't remember. I demand to relearn your secrets!"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/51/2012090500064.jpg/]

"I don't know what apologies are like on your planet, but on mine, that isn't it. In face, it's pretty much the furthest thing from an apology. Now, I demand to know your history!"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/2012090500066.jpg/]

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/2012090500067.jpg/]

"Give me the basics."

"How did the Rakata fall?"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/2012090500077.jpg/]

"I have my own theory on why the Rakata fell. It was giant metal cuttlefish from outside the galaxy who harvest living beings to make more giant metal cuttlefish."

"Oh, shut up, Shepard. That's your answer to everything."

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/707/2012090500078.jpg/]

"Your homeworld was secret? That doesn't make any sense. We Brits don't keep the existence of London a secret."

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/442/2012090500079.jpg/]

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/2012090500080.jpg/]

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/684/2012090500081.jpg/]

What I love about the Rakata is the mystery behind exactly why they fell. We've been getting conflicting reports from almost every person we talk to, some saying it's a plague, others saying that it was because they lost the force, and others still blaming it on dark Doppelgangers. It really emphasizes just how far the Rakata have fallen, and makes them a far more interesting race to delve into. Plus, it resembles how real-life historians will debate the hidden meanings and reasons behind why things happened. Of course, we do eventually learn exactly what happened, but when it comes to lore-hunting, half the fun is the journey. This, I think, is the main reason the Rakata and their Infinite Empire REALLY caught on in the rest of the EU, most notably in the Dawn of the Jedi comics, which combined really cool ideas with the worst Jedi origin story anyone has ever thought of. Fuck you, giant floating pyramids that abduct people.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know how much of a nerd you are, Narrator. Why are you Elders different from the other tribes then?"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/2012090500084.jpg/]

"That sounds...positively...delectable."

Stop licking your lips. Why are you so weird?

"Seriously? You've seen me murder and maim countless people, you've seen me destroy civilizations, you've seen me pleasure myself to torture, and you're calling me out on licking my lips at the prospect of world-destroying weaponry?"

...shut up.

"That's what I thought. Anyway, what do you know about the other Rakata tribes?"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/209/2012090500090.jpg/]

"What do you know about the disruptor field that caused my ship to crash?"

That's all we'll get out of this Loremaster. However, we're not yet done here, we have a computer to chat with.

"Oh, for fuck's sake. At least tell me how I can bust in to the temple."

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/27/2012090500119.jpg/]

"Then how the fuck am I speaking the Rakata language?"

"Silence! We had to think of some reason the player needed a tribe, and this was the best one we could think of. So shut up and drink your ovaltine!"

"Rrrgh. I'll get you for this. Make yourself useful, and tell me about the Star Forge."

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/198/2012090500123.jpg/]

"Goddamn! How useless are you? Can you at least tell me about the history of the Rakata?"

"The Infinite Empire of the Rakata stretched across all the known universe, across hundreds of planets, and stars beyond counting."

Even their Rancors are no match for us, because we've hit Max Level!

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/207/2012090500145.jpg/]

No, really. KoTOR is one of those games where it's far more of a challenge NOT to hit Max Level before the end of the game, because there's just so few levels to gain. This isn't a bad thing, per se, but it is bound to annoy those people who played through the Fallout 3 DlCs pre-Broken Steel and cried at all the wasted EXP. The sequel would later take this in the other direction, by making a level cap so high it's literally impossible to reach in actual gameplay.

Incidentally, feel free to laugh at my pathetic stats.

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/2012090500146.jpg/]

We make our way to the center of the One's fortress.

Finally, after cleaving our way through an army of Rakata, we come to the chamber of the One.

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/2012090500163.jpg/]

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/2012090500164.jpg/]

"Are you feeling all right? You've got sort of a...glow. A green glow. That's not usually a good sign. Did you build this place beside a toxic waste dump?"

"SILENCE!"

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/2012090500167.jpg/]

"Oh, goody. I love the taste of Rancor soul in the morning. Tastes like...victory."

The One is a tough opponent, but only because of his chums. If you use AOE attacks on the Rancors, then it becomes an easy fight as the Rancors are quickly taken care of, and the One has little else to rely on.

[http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/402/2012090500170.jpg/]

With the One dead, we locate the Elder prisoner.

Well, this has got very, very dark all of a sudden.

"Yeah. Isn't impalement great?"

We also find some Ship Parts to aid in the repairs to the Ebon Hawk, in case the ones we found at the Mandalorian ship don't quite suffice. With that done, and the One lying in a pool if his own radioactive blood, we return to the Elders.

"We did have to watch 12 Angry Rakatas to come to this conclusion, but all's well that ends well."

In the basement, we find a conveniently placed datapad.

The Datapad is in the clutches of a severed hand. Said hand is in Varen's clutches. While she goes off to some secluded corner with the hand and some tissues, Jolee reads out the datapad. Imagine it with the voice of Morgan Freeman for the full effect.

"Novice Sith such as you cannot be trusted to remember even simple tasks, Acolyte. It is therefore prudent for your masters to explain themselves at length, using small words. The ancient sequencer on the lower levels can only be activated once all the sequencer tiles on the floor have been activated by walking on them in the correct pattern. To make sure all the tiles the same color, simply walk them in the pattern of an 'H'. I trust there will be another unfortunate incident like last time..."

Oh no. That sounds like...

Bastila, for all her talk, snaps like a twig. Seriously, I think I used two powers, before I halved her health. Once her health falls to 50%, she force pushes you back.

And here, I leave to you. Depending on your choices in this conversation, you may join with Bastila and attempt to usurp Malak as the Dark Lord of the Sith, or, we can attempt to bring Bastila back to the light. THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN. If we want to pull a last minute redemption, now is the time. You have until Sunday. Until then, this thread is to be a battleground of people arguing moral opinions and questions. Or it could be a parade of people saying. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL". Either's cool with me.

So, fellow Escapists, all who have followed this ride so far, everyone's who has suffered my bad jokes, all the boring commentary, all the incomptetence...

Do we Fall into Darkness?

Or Rise to the Light?

*le snippity snip snip

Oh Woodaba. I am dissapointed in you. You show us Malak's disfigured face and don't tell us why iit is that way. tsk tsk. Wasn't it because he got into a duel with Revan and Revan cut Malak's jaw off or something like that? Oh and how the heck does Malak eat? Does he go all nihlus on people and consume the force to stay alive?

Oh and I wonder if Revan's neural changes is because she is even more evil or if it is because she is stupid evil now rather than a manipulative bad ass.

OT: I say EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Once again this is Varen, jacks off to torture, destroys civlizations for fun, blablabla.

Captcha: as you wish. So you will be EEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLL. good to know

I'm going to vote for siding with Bastila due to a very disturbing, very EVILLLLL piece of manipulation you can committ soon after this scene. You know the one. A scene so dripping with for-the-lulz EVIILLLLLLLLLLLLL that would suit Varen perfectly.

 

[C F]

We've played through the entire game doing whatever we want because we are EVIL, and now we have an option to either:

<color=skyblue>A) Side with the Republic, destroy what the Rakata pitched as a lovely marvel of a superfactory, and go home to the Jedi Council to be in bed by 8:30, or...

<color=crimson>2) Show Malak who's at the top of the food chain, eat what is left of your friends' trust for breakfast on the morrow of what is to be a beautiful brand new day, kick the Republic in the balls, and shout "Varen Forever!" from the apex of your lovely new toy.

You might want to check the OP, you didn't link Update 39 in correctly.

Also maybe it's just me but most of the images don't seem to be loading.

Got the OP sorted, thanks for the catch!

The images, however, seem to be working fine for me. Is anyone else getting this issue?

Evillllllll, just because of this. If it's the scene I'm thinking of. Which is pure evil.

 

[gamptrak]

Join Bastilla. Varen would not accept anything less than being emperor of the entire galaxy. Unfortunately you have to get rid of the best character. Oh well, sacrifices are necessary.

Right, I've captured the footage, it should be up in a few days.
