Ideas for sith lord bosses or otherwise--please nothing rediculous...

[Quanon]

What if "you" where the boss ?

 

What if you planned to erase your own memory, infiltrate the Jedi by joining them , then as Jedi you fight off your Sith competators you had as Dark Lord .

 

And by the end of the story , by various clues it becomes clear you planned everything .

 

Allthough I must admit its a bit of rip-off of the move Cypher ( double double spy) and looks very alike KOtor 1 .

 

But I think it could be done very nicely and it would cause very weird situations .

[Darth InSidious]

Why does it even need a body?

[Nancy Allen``]

Take the idea a step further and have plenty of opportunities to play double agent and pretend to be a Jedi when you're really a Sith, then turn out that you are in fact a Jedi after all. The end boss could be dependent on what path you take. Light side could have you as one of the Jedi with Bastila fighting Revan (if going for a prequal) where dark side puts you on the other side of the fight.

[Salzella]

^^^ that scenario would be extremely limiting don't you think? i think a prequel is unlikely anyway.

[Quanon]

Not really , its like the same with Revan in Kotor 1 .

 

IN the end you can decide to stay a Jedi or just take your place back as Sith Lord .

 

Maybe to make things interesting you could choose something inbetween .

' Exile ' or something like that , a grey choice , because you got sick off all that manipulating on both sides .

 

Or turn it around , a Jedi memory wiped send to the Sith to be trained .

Cause in Kotor 1 you where forced to start as a Jedi , why not now as a Sith .

 

That could make the end boss a Master Jedi and Sith if your real dark-sided .

 

For LS you could have some Sith Lords awaiting you .

 

IMO , I think it would be nice to have a Jedi like MAster VAndar to be the end 'boss' if you are DS .

Sith Lords always seem to be human (or at least formerly so). How about a Trandoshan Sith Lord? Brute strength and ferocity, with Wookie pelts coating the walls of his sanctum. Some nasty traits like skinning his victims. Or a gand with incredible force powers, but not much lightsaber skills (and killing him could involve ripping of his mask and letting him drown in oxygen, if you're really evil).

 

Droids with lightsabers would be cool too, but a bit too Grievous-y. On the subject of droids though, is a force-sensitive droid possible? Darth Vader is pretty much half droid and he's still very powerful, and 4-Lom shows signs of basic force sensitivity. Could be an interesting villain.

 

There should definetely be some villains with more motivation than "dominate the universe". Something along the lines of G0-T0s quest to stabilize the republic. I like the ideas of beautiful female dark jedi who don't seem dark (white robes, etc). Perhaps a few of these things could be combined?

[Vaelastraz]

No. I'd rather stick to the good old humans. There's something about that classic human good vs human evil that is a necessary part of starwars to me...

[PoiuyWired]

Well, while the main sithlord should be a human (or once human) the other sithlords can be anything... and a sexy one to boot?

[Nancy Allen``]

I think Bothan's idea of having villians with complex motives. A Revan, who sought to strengthen the Republic against the Sith. A currupt Jedi who sought to blind you to the Force in order to save the galaxy. Sith Lords did it well, as neither Atris nor Kreia could be said to have conquest in mind.

[Darth Avlectus]

Ok, so the revan boss idea gets some. The variance is another element that also gets some.

 

This is quite the conundrum I must say.

 

In a general way we're moving away from hot women on this thread--though I must admit this one got quite a bit of attention. The majority who said female said sexy and manipulative. Though I see it is still being kept alive by some. (Cheers!)

 

I'll lighten up for *a moment* on the no ridiculous--someone made me laugh with the idea off shoot of general greivous...general Beavis. (I wish I had photoshop--or maybe somebody can surprise us all, do it before I change my mind back!)

 

I'd say the human idea is getting worn a little thin. I mena it's just one right after another. Though when I look at what the hell is going on in the world today, it isn't hard to imagine why humans are considered to be the ultimate evil in this franchise.

 

I sort of liked the greivous idea--if only slightly, but add more legs a tail and some mobility--wings too perhaps. An odd scorpion/dinosaur/bird/menotaur (mentuar+centuar) creature is some idea for the physical type.

 

 

The idea of some unembodied entity...mmh, I don't know... Nice concept for an intriguing storyline. It would need some real personality or something. Somehow, I just don't see it coming to fruition of being realized. I can see where that's coming from.

 

Curse me if you want, but maybe sith who don't use darth? I.E. Ludo Kareesh, Exar Kun, Naga Sadow, Ajunta Pall, etc. A sith with another name type.

 

The doppleganger was sort of inspred by the lavender gel doppleganger boss in castlevania 3 for nes. (Remember that?) Of course a much better example might be the last boss of Zelda 2, where you had to fight your own sihlouette. It knew what you knew, but it was also much more aggressive and more powerful. Since I have seen a lot of metaphor and symbolism in the games and the movies and comics, I figure this one is as good as any. What it means is ultimately we are our own worst enemy. I think most people would agree. I suppose it could fit the newly found plotline discussed.

 

...now that I think about it, the nameless formless boss could be this--though the battle is not physical, but maybe in the astral plane of your player's dreaming mind?

 

Another idea here: Some wierd living portal thing (sort of inspired by the whole evil creative element as opposed to hunger) that feeds off the living and the dead, all their minds, and produces oddity creatures. Some could be sith bosses.

 

You ultimately must enter this portal from the regular world and destroy it from inside.

 

Or maybe it can't be destroyed but you must sacrifice yourself in the end to defeat it. It will change regardless of alignment.

 

OR Perhaps that is what has happened to everybody else and you will be the one and only to overcome and re-emerge. And that alters it, if not destroying it, to never again do what it's done.

What if that "spirit" possessed one of your party (it could even be random to add replay value) and you had to fight it and choose either to kill that member or not?? If you have the oportunity to turn force sensitives into force users as you did in TSL you could end up fighting someone you trained.

Your persuasion and charisma could make the member fight the influence of it and weaken it (LS) or you could do it the hard way and hack him to pieces (DS).

[PoiuyWired]

Sith spirit possessed crystal hidden inside the PC's lightsaber. Its like a your name crystal, but eventually it guides you towards a dark path.

That's railroading, meaning a fixed plot dicated to the player without choice or interaction. Which, put shortly, sucks. No thanks. I'll decide what my pc will or will not do. It could be different for the NPCs, but not for the character I control.

[Darca Lar]

I'd personally love to see a Sith equivalent to Grand Admiral Thrawn. He is a master of battle, but his prowess comes from his tactics and his sheer intellect, not his brute strength. He is both charismatic and a true terror at once.

 

I suppose this is similar to what Sabretooth was getting at with Count Dooku. Count Dooku seemed much the same... except that he was a complete and utter moron. I would simply like to see a Sith Lord with more than "kill all," "conquer all," or "inflict pain on all" going through his head. Conquering the galaxy for such a Sith would not be his main object, but the journey, the game, would be the true prize. Like a galactic game of chess, I suppose. Maybe I just want to hear him say "checkmate".

 

I'm just so tired of the disfigured Sith Lord, or the Force God/Goddess. I would love to see a character that has a leg to stand on beyond their Force potential. Someone with depth of character and not just a cool look or an impressive Force attack.

 

Count Dooku wasn't a moron! He figured out Palpatine far before the Council did(if you've seen ep. 2 he mentions it to Kenobi), that's why he captured him later on in the clone wars. And he wasn't with the Jedi because of how blinded they were. They didn't litsen the way they should have and didn't adapt like the Sith like they should have! They were in a way arrogant and tryied too hard meditating to find the Sith Lord when he was right there on the highest seat of power long past his term. The problem Dooku had was he tried to do it himself and failed.

 

But back to the topic, I think it should be like a former ally of the Exile if possible, like say Atton or Mira's time spent with the Exile caused an unbalance in his/her force sensitivity causing them to become absorbed completely. Their minds overwhelmed by the power twists them physically and mentally to the point where they are no longer themselves, their true conciousness lying dormant underneath all the power that had taken over them. So basically its like the force and Atton/Mira merge together, and it causes them to pretty much go insane thinking that maybe they have become the force and want to restore balance themselves, only they do it by destroying everything that was touched by the force, light or dark to cleanse the galaxy and start over. While maybe the Sith themselves return once again with a new Dark Lord wanting to do the same thing, except these Sith have traveled from unknown space and have since conquered every planet in their path, for example they come across Onderon or Citadel Station and conquer it in days destroying all existence and/or enslaving potential force users. The Dark Lord senses you during hyperspace travel and decides then to track you down. That's all I got right now.
