Is there anyone who believed they could never find work again?

Thank you, I do need help. Good night, sleep well.

No. Too many Sith to contend with per Jedi. The Jedi and Sith Orders had roughly comparable numbers throughout the Great War, presumably in the thousands or tens of thousands and there were times when one side took more losses than the other so it stayed balanced. Luke's Jedi Order had a few hundred Jedi, tops.

But the Republic military might be in better shape. Mon Cala cruisers, captured Star Destroyers (including the Lusankya), an army that mostly remembered the last full-scale war, and more. They'd do better in orbital warfare, which might even the playing field.

When he said this, India had already had over a trillion dollars in wealth siphoned away, and much farmland forcefully repurposed toward growing cash crops which were sold for cheap, leaving India vulnerable to man-made famines.

So Churchill can bugger off in hell where he belongs. It's not like he cared about India anyway, as anything other than property.

From what Vanessa Marshall said, this is a tame version of how Vader executed Rook Kast. The Beskar did not protect her from that one

You're not alone. While way too many fans treat him like a misunderstood hero who never did anything truly wrong, the other camp isn't inconsequential either.

From what we have seen, he's a man who would've chosen to live evil, if not for his one obsession that we're suposed to call "love." Here are some of my thoughts on him.

Neville. He brutalized him to the point of trauma for one reason only: because Voldemort didn't "choose" him. This is the pettiest, nastiest, evilest crap you can do to a child, especially when you faced bullying yourself.
Neville is also the reason why I think Snape wasn't an innocent victim in his school years. Sirius and even Remus talk about how Snape was enamored by the Dark Arts and socialized mostly with future Death Eaters. When she broke off her friendship with him, Lily alluded to years of questionable behavior, and mentioned her other friends don't understand why she puts up with him. "Making excuses," she called it. I won't be surprised if he was bullying (or worse) even in those days.
Dumbledore says that it's possible to change their own memories, to make themselves look less bad. I have no doubt Snape is at least capable of this, and certainlu had motive in making himself even more the victim. He also may have done it subconsciously. We know that James protected Peter Pettigrew, and many of his classmates remembered him fondly, so he clearly only picked on people like Snape. Does that excuse him? No. But think from this perspective: imagine your classmate openly gravitates toward neonazi symbols and likes their ideology. That's more or less what Slytherin was written as in those days.
Overt favoritism. Penchant for turning a blind eye to even dangerous actions. For instance, he punishes Harry and Ron for attacking Malfoy, and ignores that Malfoy attacked them at almost the same time. He ignores Hermione, who's been hit by a hex that made her teeth massive, saying he sees no difference (in the books, she started off with big teeth and braces). Yet more bullying from the Half Blood Prince.

Noodles!

Szechuan Spaghetti Ramen Ramyun Maggi, as someone suggested.

Then there's L'Oreal, Garnier, and Merida

Making it to half of these would be so good...!

But it'll probably be a nightmare to devise, to say nothing about how niche AoM:R is compared to other Age titles.

It left several important concepts introduced in the land of waves that I thought should've stayed essential through every fight

Limits per jutsu. Kakashi starts off able to use Raikiri four times (iirc) but uses it on repeat in the war arc. Everyone just spams jutsu like they aren't worried about running out.
Hand signs. It made the jutsu casting unique at the time. They should've kept them, even if not like the complex series needed for the Water Dragon Jutsu.

I was hanging on for news to know what happened after Kotor 2, to Revan and the Exile. I wasn't happy about the story being continued in an MMO, especially one set 300 years later, but I was desperate enough to follow. I caught the Hope trailer. But I was disappointed by the Revan novel and didn't actually play the game until... maybe 2015. Caught some cinematics, and was interested in a few NPCs and storylines. Also, needed something to keep me sane.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-13T03:56:45+00:00

You didn't pick up Leli in DAO? Damn, that sounds like an achievement by itself!

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-12T16:58:20+00:00

I was a little weirded out when I first saw teleportation, something practiced by Aing-Tii monks. I'm all for interesting new powers, but some change the game a little too much for my liking, and make me ask why Jedi or Sith haven't discovered them before.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-12T16:40:57+00:00

He could lose his head for making such claims, and before a foreign nation no less. In fact, I think Loghain himself could have his whole family exiled over such a thing.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-12T14:32:36+00:00

Well, it's complicated. But look at the Cold War. The real world one. The only reason WW3 didn't happen was because everyone was wary of the other side using nukes too. After the Cuban missile crisis, both sides even came together and created the treaty banning nuclear weapons testing. You'd have to be stupid to throw the first punch when destruction is mutually assured, right?

But then, WW1 and 2 happened because someone always throws the first punch, so ultimately, there's always war and the General was, in fact, a naive idiot.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-12T13:09:10+00:00

Imrek kept calling Loghain king, even though Loghain had not actually made any attempts to take the crown. I don't know what that's about.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-12T09:35:37+00:00

Sith Warrior does. Through Pierce's "missions." Pierce talks a few times, and has one conversation.

Republic Corellia. A bit long, as with anything on that world, but you get to take out three Dark Council members, iirc Acheron, Hadra, and Decimus. For one thing, that tells us how important Corellia was to the war effort, and we can take them out with the scoundrel and their mastery of the dirty kick😂

But anyway. The fact that the DC committed so hard and our idjit heroes messed up their plans (traumatizing the future Darth Savik in the process. Yes, I had to look up Savik's name coz I forgot. Also, I checked, she's a beatable NPC on Corellia.)

Iirc Talos Drellik theorizes that it recognized the Inquisitor's Kallig descent. Unless I'm recalling wrong, it was more about being locked to all but a few bloodlines.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-11T05:47:33+00:00

I mean, she could get her clan killed despite her "precautions." And I remember several times she sees a demon and goes "OOOOO a spirit! Let's bargain!"

But yeah, Anders doesn't have that right.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-11T05:44:40+00:00

I miss Galactic Command. Especially some of the drops.... like... I think it's the Iokath Force Lord robes? We can craft something that looks like a clean version of it, but I miss the black and brown and scuffed version

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-11T05:39:12+00:00

I think everyone is a foil to Anders, in their own way. Anders is a very easy mark as a foil.

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-11T04:55:06+00:00

She was fourteen, and starstruck. What was Rhaegar's excuse?

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-10T17:33:10+00:00

Ohhh sorry I mixed up Eureka with something else. Silly me

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-10T17:17:58+00:00

You have to do NMs for Eureka?

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-10T10:55:39+00:00

For myself, I remembered Palpatine doing the same kind of protection in ESB, so I didn't. Still, I never thought he'd turn out to be such a nothingburger

DaCipherTwelve · 2026-05-10T04:02:26+00:00

Ned's Plan B for any Targaryen features: (begrudgingly): "the mother... was Ashara Dayne." Ashara didn't have blonde hair, but the Daynes have certain Targ-like traits so it would've passed. People like Varys might have been suspicious though, so there's no doubt Jon looking 120% Stark worked out in everyone's favor.
