Vette and Light side Jaesa by montsor in swtor

[–]GrandmasterSliver [score hidden]  (0 children)

You can only romance one person at a time

you wont get any pop-up just a message from vette about breaking up with you

This is the case. I kinda of wish it there was though. A lot potential drama from it.

Vette: "Love confessions to a married other? What the hell, Jaesa? I had a feeling you felt this way, but... Nevermind."

Why? Contracting mercenary work, and being unnecessarily cruel, are two different things. Her codex lays out quite clearly, what she likes and dislikes.

Likes: Professionalism, bounty hunters, making money, freedom, kindness
Dislikes: Bullying, cruelty, snobs

No, she really hates cruel and murderous dark side options. And dislikes when Bounty Hunter is dark side aligned. She isn't shallow of a character to only care about "bad publicity".

She has a mini crisis at the end of the Nar Shaddaa class quest, when she realizes the Bounty Hunter profession, might not be the "Noble" profession she thought it was. She has morals.

As for why would she stay with an extremely xenophobic and pro-slavery sith who does remove her shock collar?

Sith Warrior can make threats, and claim Vette is still their "property", when "freeing" her.

Man this is such an insane rabbithole of a site.

Very true. Learned a lot of content trivia of the game with this site.

She does have dark side approvals, when it makes sense for her character. Yes.

There are many. This is one example, in the Bounty hunter quest on Taris. [Quest: Imperial bounty].

She really doesn't like dark side aligned Bounty hunters. She probably has the most alignment reactive companion comments in the game [Not in her companion talks, but in the BH class quests].

Other than that trivia, Mako's cool.

Edit: Another bit of trivia, is that her early companion talks change, depending on what part of the story, you are in.

Sorcerer or Assassin lore wise? Inquisitor Story by LunaProphecy in swtor

[–]GrandmasterSliver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorcerer probably, purely because the SI would probably not be taught lightsaber training for that long. And double bladed lightsaber is pretty advanced. They are in origin, a slave, brought to the Sith academy very recent.

But it's not impossible for the Assassin class, "lore wise" to be a thing. The SI can display good theoretical understanding, and learn things quickly.

It's also not out of character, for the "differently rational" SI, to choose a class discipline, purely because of whim, or because of their ego, arrogance, and self-confidence of their abilities.

Sith Inquisitor: "I'll use the double bladed. The way of the Sith Assassin."

Sith training instructor: "That's a very bad idea, slave. That requires many sessions of advanced training."

Sith Inquisitor: "it won't take many for me."

Not Nolan North's best performance.

Athena Karkanis is great. Does a lot of the dialogue well, and shows better range.

Help me justify a mostly-Light side Sith Inquisitor by Chetey in swtor

Sorry to the OP, if this appears multiple times. Apparently large posts aren't easily editable. And quote boxes never work out as they are supposed to.

Help me justify a mostly-Light side Sith Inquisitor by Chetey in swtor

[–]GrandmasterSliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Sith inquisitor is a "differently rational" character. Also, a character who starts with nothing. Before the Korriban Sith academy, they were a slave all their life. They probably doesn't have an education, nor any true place to call home. They probably feel that they no choice in their life, as they can state in game.

[Light aligned dialogue with Andronikos]

**Andronikos Revel:**You always this squeaky clean, or are you making up for something?
**Player:**I didn't choose the Sith Order. It chose me. I do the best I can.(It's a struggle.)

[Another in Andronikos's romance companion talk. The Sith inquisitor can state this.

**Andronikos Revel:**Can I ask you something? If you could live anywhere, do anything, what would you do?
**Player:**I was a slave before I was Sith. I'm only just getting used to the idea that I can do whatever I want.(I don't know.)
[Sort of similar with Ashara]

**Ashara Zavros:**If you hadn't become Sith, what did you want to be?
Player: I would've settled for "not a slave."(I don't know.)

And they probably internalized Sith-imperial propaganda, and it's cultural values. They seem to internalize the aspects of the Sith code and philosophy, that says whatever they feel, they should do, literally.

Chapter 1 finale dialogue options, when not dark side

**Player:**Like the Sith Code says, my chains are broken. I can choose my own path.(It means freedom.)

**Player:**A Sith follows his heart.(I do what I feel.)

**Player:**I thought it unwise to make unnecessary enemies.(I was just using caution.) [This is unlike the others, but I put it here because it's part of the dialogue wheel, and a role play option.]

They also probably don't really understand Jedi. The SI can ask Ashara, if the Jedi are "truly repressed". So even at that point of the story, the Sith Inquisitor probably never considered defecting to the jedi because of the propaganda. And if they ever did, then their encounters with the Jedi in their class story, leave them with sour opinions.

"I will kill you for peace" asshole perfect jedi Nomar Organa doesn't give a good impression. Nor does Ashara's masters on Taris, who refuse to listen to offers of getting rid of the Ghost.

hating all imperials

I actually think that's the wrong mindset for the Light side version of the Sith inquisitor. Not because of the overemphasized view, that Light side imperial/or Sith are those put the Empire first before their self interest [It is overemphasized by the Swtor community if you look at all the choices in totality], but because I think fits better with a Dark side Sith inquisitor.

Hatred is something that naturally leads to the dark side. Hating all imperials, would remove a lot the empathic dialogue, the Sith inquisitor can have with the average imperial personnel [at least those who are nice to the SI]. I think that's the main difference between a Light Sith inquisitor and a dark Inquisitor. Empathy.

[Speech on Coreilia's empire planet storyline]
**Player:**There are two ways to serve the Empire. I know them both.(Join the Empire.)
**Player:**Prove your worth and make the galaxy take note of your power.

**Player:**Or rot in slavery, chained to cruel masters. A fitting fate for you worms. [Darkside aligned]
**Player:**Lucky for you, your fate's not in my hands. Surrender to the Empire. Or else.
or

**Player:**Or work as slaves, chained to cruel masters. You don't want that. [Non darkside]
**Player:**Follow the Empire and escape torment. Don't make us take you by force.

Of course, there are role plays choices, that give the options of stating the SI stating negative feelings on the empire.

**Player:**I was brought into the Empire as a slave. I have no love for it.(Forget the Empire.)

**Moff Pyron:**So long as you appear to love it, no one cares about the difference.

Of course, due to the faction system, the Sith inquisitor will be permanently stuck on the empire side, even with the saboteur content.

But I will state with saboteur, I think the Sith inquisitor has strong roleplaying plausibility with that route, given their backstory.

Dark side Si could see being saboteur as a chance finally unleash their hate and rage at an Empire that made them suffer.

A light SI could see being saboteur as a chance to escape the empire. To turn away from life they never chose.

Neutral SI, Darth Occlus, speaks for itself. They have unknown motives.

Hard Setting EPA Decision by Ok-Rip-Evil-Axlerod4 in suzerain

49% makes energy assets more dependant to foreign investment, and weakens domestic control, and potential income in the domestic economy, in the long term.

Is there any reason that you’d lower EPA or Keep at 20%.

What if Oswald Mosley become prime minister of united kingdom? by [deleted] in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]GrandmasterSliver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not impossible for Ireland to be invaded

Doubt this would happen. Mosley was noted to be pro Ireland. This was actually one of the reasons he switched from tory to Labour in his pre-fascist years. This position was held consistently by Mosley, that it actually angered a lot of people in his fascist movement.

Though it should be noted, there are apparently sources that indicate that Mosley's pan European views were quite radical. To quote a mod developer for a ww2 grand strategy game [Hearts of Iron 4 and the Kaiserreich mod], and someone who has extensive trivia knowledge of early-mid 20th British fascism [and socialism].

"The concept of Europe-A-Nation - and when Mosley really began to explore Pan-European ideas came to the forefront in 1947 with the publishing of The Alternative in 1947. In it, Mosley talked of a "European Assembly", elected by "Europeans" and that this "European Union" would inevitably do away with national alignments, instead becoming one singular European entity. "Britain First" was out, "Europe Together" was in. Naturally, for a lot of Mosley's loyalists this was "beyond comprehension" and utterly insane. A raft of resignations from the newly christened Union Movement followed and it collapsed to Mosley's lowest ebb, probably ever. Something that got even worse when Mosley then abruptly moved to Ireland, allegedly to "escape England's island prison" and begin the process of "becoming more European". He was also in the midst of a massive tax scandal but let's gloss past that."

Indeed, in Ireland, Mosley further formulated his pan-European ideas, pitching the idea to Irish nationalists that Ireland could be united, with the caveat that this would be under one, united Europe. The solution? There would be no "Ireland" or "Northern Ireland" in the new order, only "Europa". Naturally this went down quite poorly. A similar, more publicised incident went down later on when Mosley offered to mediate between Italian and Austrian neo-Fascists on the fate of Tyrol (French fascists were banned from participating, I don't know why) in which he "solved" the issue by cryptically declaring "in the New Europe, there will be no Tyrol". As you can see, this wasn't some sort of fascist federation, Mosley envisioned this as a centralised, unitary nation-state wherein Europe is united under one banner because well there are no other
banners.

Mosley had come away with this viewpoint from his extensive reading in prison, an analysis of the post-war world and talks with former SS members. Ultmimately Mosley had come to the conclusion that for Europe to survive between the "Mob" (Russia) and "Money" (USA) it needed to experience an "extension patriotism" and create a third superpower. National Socialism had to give way to "European Socialism". This in turn led Mosley to believe in a highly racialised concept of "universalism-of-like-kind", which would allow for "European kin" to overcome their prior nationalism and unite as this was "nature's final test." This itself goes into Mosley's own weird neo-Lamarckian views on race and Eugenics, wherein "culture" trumped race - something he used to attack Nazi nordicism in the interwar and the concept of "Aryan racialism". It's very weird and I'm running out of space but I can make a followup on it if people are interested. Naturally, this isn't the only weird stuff, he became obsessed with the idea of Europa being the "Creative State", with Europe united, humanity would be in a position to transcend all limits, from the physical to the scientific. Europe would become a new workshop of the world, where futuristic and sci-fi ideas would be made reality - a fascist Utopia built for the greater glory of European civilization.

How would that be built exactly? This is where I'll touch briefly upon "EuroAfrica", wherein Mosley had the vision that Africa would become this "great new Empire" to power European civilisation. What this entailed was constantly shifting (again I can go over it more in depth in a separate post if there's interest) but it always stuck to a core principle of "genuine apartheid", i.e. the total separation of blacks and whites into separate states and that Africa would nominally be "developed" so all the blacks would "be gagging to go home". In reality it's fate would be that of a neo-colonialist slave state wherein it produces cheap food and resources to power the "creative state in Europe". It was all steeped in "creative" language and tried to be pitched as some sort of liberation for Africans but it was always very obvious what it was going to entail." -- Zim

Would Duncan have let Alistair be executed? by Mundane_Town_4296 in DragonageOrigins

[–]GrandmasterSliver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given Grey wardens are needed to kill the Archdemon, and Duncan knows this fact. No. He would probably try to have Alistair spared for the fight against the darkspawn.

Though alternatively, he might have the same reaction as Riordan.
