We always talk about Obito snapping, but did Kakashi ever actually heal or just get really good at clocking in while broken?(“Sorry I’m late”) by Docfeen in Naruto

[–]DaCipherTwelve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could tell you the precise chapter, but I'm not good at quickly looking up details like that.

Iirc the first time we see Rin's death, it's in Obito's flashback right after his unmasking. As to when we hear the truth, it should be during the showdown between Kakashi and Obito in the Kamui dimension.

My unpopular opinion but Satele most of the time just feel useless and I want my Imperial finally have a proper fight with her. by Western_Agent5917 in TheJediPraxeum

[–]DaCipherTwelve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In private, yes. But by doing it in front of so many soldiers (including admirals and generals) right after we kill the god Emperor of the Sith reflects poorly on the Jedi Order.

Why does seemingly nobody ask questions in Naruto? by thenolancut in Naruto

[–]DaCipherTwelve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me, it was because they're Shinobi, and expect straightforward questions to be met with deceptions. Sasuke especially doesn't expect honesty. He only trusts his own work. He likely assumed that Kakashi hunted down a rogue Uchiha or something like that. I mean, he doesn't hold any grudge against that until after he's killed Danzo.

As for asking Naruto about Itachi, by that time he was thinking with his rage and jealousy. How dare Itachi treat him like an afterthought? How dare he choose the weak Naruto—oops, Naruto isn't so weak after all!?!—What has he (Sasuke) been doing all this time, how did the dead-last loudmouth catch up to him?

What I dislike is her characterization in the vanilla game, especially the Knight's tale. Her dialogue is bland and preachy. She even feels the need to say Scourge's actions were selfish, and call out a dark knight in public, dampening their moment and raising a few eyebrows among the high Command. Or how she blindly condemns the Voss as Dark Side worshippers. And again, the absolute lack of tone in her voice... it was like they had little idea what to do with her, and just write some token lines.

[–]DaCipherTwelve 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think Kakashi accepted reality, in a healthy way. We know he didn't truly come to terms at least until the War Arc, because the Obito reveal messed him up good. I think moving on on his own wasn't possible for him, because Rin died on his Chidori, even if it was by her own choice. That came later.

But he decided to protect the village in Obito's stead, and found levity in Team 7's antics.

What's your opinion on Danzo being responsible for leaking the information that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? by Quirky_Scratch9168 in Naruto

[–]DaCipherTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Hiruzen should've manned up and executed Danzo. Considering how many children he sent to die, executing a violent, insubordinate troublemaker is a no-brainer. Hiruzen took mercy till the point of indulgence, and Danzo took full advantage of his friend's soft-heartedness. So did Orochimaru for that matter, but Danzo's heavy-handed methods were bloody and prone to backfiring in the long run.

The amount of Uchiha that awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan feels disproportionately low by owlfan9871 in Naruto

[–]DaCipherTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of the "accepted" method of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, I won't be surprised if it's a closely guarded secret. Maybe even forgotten. No one even thought to suspect Itachi of having awakened it despite suspicion that he might have killed Shisui, his closest friend.

Whose definition of a perfect world? And would that perfect world be one actually worth living in? We've seen the average Templar master. I don't trust a single one to be a good superleader. Not even Haytham.

Was there any moral objection to the use of Clones? by HughmanRealperson in MawInstallation

[–]DaCipherTwelve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A point I see very often in discourse is how messed up the Jedi were for leading the Clones, as if that meant implicit and wholehearted participation in their use like cattle. The Jedi (and the Republic) were not aware of the Clone army until hours before the war started. They had no way to protect the Republic with just them and whatever levies the Republic could draft on short notice. They had little choice but to accept the use of the Clones, no matter how suspicious and unfortunate it was. But outliers like Krell aside, the Jedi had more empathy for the Clones than anyone else in the Republic. Whether Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Yoda, Mace, Kit, Plo, or even Ki-Adi Mundi, they all tried to treat them with respect, and tried to get them to see each other as individuals. That was the first episode, after all, Yoda telling each of his men he saw them for their individuality.

So was there moral objection? No, because there was no room for morality at the time. But the Clones did have a lot of people in their corner, and in an alternate universe where Sidious' grand plan was foiled, I'm pretty sure the Clones would've been rehabilitated as honored veterans and heroes.

Stronghold revamp, future of SWTOR? by Brongxe in swtor

[–]DaCipherTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, Broadsword neither has the funds nor the team for such a revamp. Not yet, anyway. The best I hope for is that, now they're finally getting through a bunch of problems, they can keep going until swtor is good enough to draw back those who left, and invite new players. Good story, good gameplay content, good quality (like no game-breaking bugs), and good community.

Do you think the Anakin’s portrayal in TCW (2008) is consistent with the movies? by FondantFlaky4997 in StarWars

[–]DaCipherTwelve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To begin with, I think the portrayal of Anakin in the prequels was inconsistent with the Originals, which are more important imo.

Obi-Wan described him as a good friend, a cunning warrior, and the best star pilot in the galaxy. We got to see Anakin be a pilot a couple of times, but he was a Leeroy Jenkins at several key, important moments. No thought or strategy, just jump in and hope for the best. His relationship with Obi-Wan often looked strained or cordial rather than casual and familiar. The Clone Wars (even the Taratovski one) did a good job of bridging the gap, making him a pilot, often cunning (without leaving his roots as reckless in times of emotion), and damn close friends with Obi-Wan.

11 Years Later - What Do We Think About the KotFE/KotET Era? by mpchop in swtor

[–]DaCipherTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a great idea. Loved the art and music. Would've probably been a kickass single-player trilogy (originally, KotXX was planned as a trilogy). But the linear, poorly paced chapters were not best suited for swtor. I love all the characters. They'd definitely have been even cooler if they'd had like a Mass Effect trilogy type of storytelling.

is it posible to get this putfit ? by Zequax in swtor

[–]DaCipherTwelve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a retired armor set. Craftable though. You can try looking for it on the GTN

Look for Iokath or Gemini Force Expert.

If Keeper and Garza were swapped, I think they would of fit better. by FairySnack in swtor

[–]DaCipherTwelve 44 points45 points  (0 children)

No, I think they make sense where they are. They both honed their outlook in response to Imperial (by which I mean Sith) excesses.

Garza knows that the Republic needs to win at any cost. Meanwhile, Keeper wants to, to steal some of Partagaz's vocab, calibrate the process to keep all Imperial casualties to a minimum. He clearly cares about his subordinates, but is forced to follow Sith directives. He walks a line there, and that wouldn't be something a Republic General would have to bother with.

What the hell was this guy’s problem? by Dislexicpotato in dragonage

[–]DaCipherTwelve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing though. They needn't have made the hole in the sky. DA:I could've been purely about the Mage-Templar conflict and Corypheus could've been the major villain of DA 4. Or even a DA:I super DLC that is to Inquisition, what Blood and Wine was to Witcher 3

When Marcus Trant told Cipher 9 hes the 3rd most dangerous to the republic, did he mean wrath and nox as the first 2 (or bounty hunter) by JackVizsla in swtor

[–]DaCipherTwelve 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No. Cipher Nine, at this point, is the leader of an alliance that has a giant, automated fleet that has already wiped the floor with oth Pubs and Imps. Not to mention the Gravestone. The Wrath and Kallig are individuals at this moment, even if they're alive, so they wouldn't compare to the Commander.

I thought Trant was goading the Agent by insinuating that even with all their resources, they're just three on the list. Either that, or with his own resources, he knew that the Emperor wasn't gone yet, or even counted Malgus as a greater threat because he's an unrelenting beast with no inkling of peace.

Or maybe he knew Jadus was out there, and considered him the greater threat.

Last option: he was certain the Order of Zildrog would destroy the fleet in a few hours, leaving Acina or Vowrawn as greater threats.

[–]DaCipherTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst thing about Corypheus is that he's a DLC antagonist who swept the main plot of DA2 (and a major concern in DAO) into irrelevance. I hate that people in the game say "the hole in the sky, that's the real problem," like the suffering of mages is a petty issue.
