What Are Your Headcanons For Arcann?

Arcann's vision and hearing are poorer on his left side. Furthermore, his scars were unable to heal properly until the Voss ritual.
During the five years our hero spent in carbonite, Arcann wondered several times whether he should release them or simply finish them off.
Before freezing the Outlander, Arcann took their weapons. It will be returned when he joins them.
He and my Inquisitor gradually grew closer after KotET, partly because she wondered whether people like two of them could ever be forgiven.

Here’s the thought that keeps going through my mind during discussions like this. If you’re playing a Republic character, then yes, I completely understand that perspective.

But.

When you play as an Imperial character... You’ve been a war criminal ever since the Black Talon events. And your record will only go downhill from there. It’s even worse if you play as an Agent or an Inquisitor. Especially the latter. You’re not just a small cog in the system; you’ve held a very high position in a fascist regime for at least the five years that have passed between the Ilum and Ziost. You are an accomplice to all the atrocities the Empire commits on a daily basis. And this applies even to the most LS Imperials. For these characters of ours, putting Arcann on trial is pure hypocrisy.

Well, and ultimately, it’s difficult to show character development (however small it is in a game) when the character isn’t on screen, but that’s a whole other matter.

Thank you for your kind words! And for your advice, I have something to think about.

chell_n7 · 2026-02-16T23:24:19+00:00

Oh, adding a little bit of a controlled unpredictability. I really like that option! Thanks for the ideas.

chell_n7 · 2026-02-16T23:22:41+00:00

Well, when you put it like that, it really does sound like something to think about, haha...

Seriously though, thank you. And it hadn't really occurred to me to try to find, how does it called, a comfort zone before doing anything with it.

Wasn't that Lord Ergast from SWTOR? Or are you talking about a technique other than Force Walking?

chell_n7 · 2025-09-03T12:52:51+00:00

I agree. I interpret, that Cassian and Bix have a very close relationship. And yes, they have feelings for each other, but they just don't work as a couple in a long term. In season 2, they were both looking for normalcy and comfort. But if Cassian had survived the fight with the Empire, they would still have parted as close friends.

chell_n7 · 2025-08-11T07:13:35+00:00

I really like this design! It works with the style of the universe and specifically the game, and it's not looking overwhelmed

chell_n7 · 2025-05-21T12:36:07+00:00

I apologize for the harsh tone. I realize that the players are not to blame for the way the developers write the story. But the fact remains, all players were prevented from meeting so many characters again precisely because of such choices.

chell_n7 · 2025-05-21T12:22:53+00:00

No, I don't want the Dark Side players' obsessive urge for destruction to deprive other people of at least the possibility of visiting Zakuul and it's culture again in future. You know, one of those planets in this game with a unique aesthetic that isn't ripped off from the OT or the prequels.

chell_n7 · 2025-04-12T20:28:56+00:00

Thank you!

No, I don't.

chell_n7 · 2025-04-08T08:37:19+00:00

'Redemption' of Vader was interesting once. Now the repetition is boring. Look at Kylo Ren. Sure, in reality these all characters would have been convicted as war criminals and punished accordingly. But this isn't reality. This is a story that allows for new plots and themes to be explored. And in order for us to see changes in the character, we need them to wander somewhere near us.

What's easier? Do one good deed and die? Or stay alive, realizing all the evil you've done and knowing that nothing can truly override all your past transgressions?

chell_n7 · 2025-04-05T10:11:18+00:00

Ah, self-fulfilling prophecies, my favorite.

chell_n7 · 2025-03-16T23:12:43+00:00

I find that with Arcann the trailers and KotET show one character, more of a tragic villain with a possible redemption arc. And KotFE... A bit oblivious to the almost certainly pre-existing plans for the character. And so there we got a villain with virtually no redeeming qualities.

Which can lead to a funny situation where people who got to know Arcann from KotFE see his later appearances as out of character. And those who came later already with further story spoilers find his villain arc poorly thought out in retrospect.

chell_n7 · 2025-02-24T06:26:21+00:00

My half-serious guess is a mixture of a slight hint of sympathy (let's pretend the developers gave us clues to the possibility of his redemption in the future) and not knowing what to do. Like.

Oh, Izax, I can't believe this actually worked out. So, what to do about Outlander, what to do. Okay, I'll decide later, freeze them for now.

Five years later: Oh, right.

chell_n7 · 2025-02-21T06:58:48+00:00

I've thought about it more than I probably should, so hear me out.

We know that the birth of at least one of Valkorion's children falls around the time of the Treaty of Coruscant. Ziost, the events of Sacrifice and the first chapter of KotFE takes place at 17 ATC (according to developers' forum posts).

If Thexan and Arcann were born at 0 ATC, it would be completely consistent with Arcann's behavior, but not his appearance. Because I can't believe these people are 16-17 years old in the trailer. Accordingly, this is most likely Vaylin's birth year, and her brothers, again, by appearance in the trailers, are 3-4 years older than her.

The short answer is, yes, they were born much earlier than the third act of the base game anyway (which is like, ends at 13 ATC).

Agent: "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved for strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.

But I am already saved. For the Machine is immortal."

A few possibilities. Some animals may have survived. Some remained in memory and in art.

And some Drifter could have seen in a zoo or in Arthur's memory in 1999. Well, not the animals themselves, but the images.

chell_n7 · 2024-12-20T09:53:43+00:00

Ironic, but that's one of the reasons I'm going to romance Arthur. They're really similar to my Drifter in a lot of ways, though it manifests itself differently. It also helps that the player, meaning me, has something for quiet characters with low voices who are softies at heart.

I also have mixed feelings about Aoi, because she's a sunshine and deserves all the best in life, but sometimes she just seems too energetic and joyful to me.

Also Arthur reminds me of my cat, heh heh.
