starwarz24 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I was browsing Star Wars.com and look what I found! Check out this link http://starwars.com/gaming/other/rpg/news20080222.html. If that's what you look like if you get redeemed, then count me in! Looks awsome!
adamqd Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah it looks awesome don't it! welcome to the Forums starwarz24 I'm guessing you can go light, dark, or neutral, Check this thread, I posted some bigger pictures of the Hasbro toy versions...

TKA-001 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I think the proper term for the Apprentice being redeemed is "absolute rubbish".
Jeff Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I don't think we can call it that, we virtually know nothing about him, his past or anything like that. I like all these features of the game that give it an rpg feel to it.

A lot of games do it nowadays, giving the player the choice to be the good or the bad guy. And this is Star Wars, of course.
millinniummany3 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 How much would a game appeal if the character you play as was a heartless ****? I think a few people would be put off by it.

I think a few people would be put off by it. I wouldn't mind. It'd be something different from the usual nice guys. Besides, if you've played KotOR or TSL, you know you can do just that: be completely heartless.
TKA-001 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Quote How much would a game appeal if the character you play as was a heartless ****? Ever hear of the Hitman series? Or Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy, or KOTOR, or KOTOR 2? Or hell, ever hear of TIE Fighter, for that matter?

DAWUSS Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I somehow get the feeling that once again LS will be the canon ending... I don't have a problem with it, but IMO a DS ending being canon would make for an interesting change.
Rev7 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Here is a action figure of the Redeemed apprentice. I think that that would be cool to choose you side. EDIT: The picture is kinda in the middle/the end of the page.
millinniummany3 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 You guys bring up Knights and you guys bring up Jedi Academy, Grand Theft Auto, I feel those games give you a choice. You can be as bad or what not as you want to be. A game where you had to kill Jedi children to proceed, for example, there was no option to avoid doing so. This is just me but I don't think that'd be cool and I think a number of other people wouldn't like the idea either.
millinniummany3 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Cool your jets okay. Listen, shhh, listen. I looked up Tie Fighter and as the name indicates you serve as an Imperial pilot against Rebel terrorists. The game does have you fighting the good guys, sure. They're also a military force. Nowhere in my research into the game was there a part where you had to bomb a civilian colony or eliminate every man woman and child in a settlement. People might be craving this sort of game, but I think people would be turned off the game if they learnt that you had to commit such acts to play through.
DeadYorick Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I believe that having a redeemable protagonist in TFU would be a good idea to the plot DAWUSS: The reason most SW games have LS cannons is because the majority of fans like to play the LS cannon more then the DS cannon since they project their own mortality on their characters and do not choose the DS ending as much as the LS.
TKA-001 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I recall that every transport-full of anything you capture in TIE Fighter is delivered for interrogation (and we all know how nice Imperials are in interrogations). That's just off the top of my head.

So you mean its LS ending Canon for that Anakin game? Well, I think its good to be bad sometime, but thats just me. On the Tie Fighter game: There is actually some choice you can make in the story I think. You get to choose to work on the special objectives from the Emperor's Secret Service, and get to be the Emperor's Hand/Eye/Spleen/etc
millinniummany3 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 The freighters you scan are dealt with by Imperial torture? Yeah, and while you're on the front lines in America's Army or something your buddies are abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib, go figure.
millinniummany3 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 No relevence you say? You want to say Tie Fighter has you evil because of what who you work for does. In America Army, in Kuma War, who you fight for do evil. Depending on your point of view, invading Iraq, or Abu Ghraib, or Guantamano. In Generals, who you fight for do many evil things, what USA is attacked for, GLA modelled after Al Qaeda. In Red Alert, Soviets do many of the same atrocities as Empire. How is it not relevent?
millinniummany3 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I just explained how they are related. You can't just say they're not, you have to prove there's no relation.
