K_Kinnison Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 What is the point of playing Jedi when you have to follow rules and are limited in what you can do Yet a Sith only should have to worry about other sith who might see them as a threat.. yet I doubt we will ever see that happen in the game.. we certainly didn't see that in SW:Galaxies. So in short, SIth get to do whatever they want, with no restrictions, and would think becoming a Jedi as punishment. Yet Jedi have to be Galactic Boy scouts or risk becoming sith themselves. seems kinda unfair
Ztalker Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Sith: -Yah. I'd love to compete to the death with fellow classmates for the function of apprentice. -Yah, I love the wrinkles and corrupted body you get when you go DS. -Yah, you can't heal yourself with the Force. Seems unlucky in a war. -Everyone will be preying on your position. The strongest one wins. Not a nice environment.
RoxStar Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 So in short, SIth get to do whatever they want, with no restrictions, and would think becoming a Jedi as punishment. Yet Jedi have to be Galactic Boy scouts or risk becoming sith themselves. seems kinda unfair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality In all seriousness it's been made clear that the Jedi feel a calling in their lives much like priests, monks, and others that dedicate themselves to an ideal. They believe in peace and only use fighting as self-defense. While a Jedi believes in discipline and restraint the Sith lust for power and domination. Plus we all know that the Sith have way higher insurance premiums on their cruisers with such aggressive drivers
Ztalker Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 O yeah, being Sith does not come with dental care in it's insurance package...
tKon Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 They live longer as a whole yes, but individually I'd say vice versa. That is to say that you would be striving to become the strongest Sith. If ya don't you're a goner While Jedi will accept any body that plays by the "rules".
K_Kinnison Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 Do you really think the game designers will create a perma-death for Sith characters? Otherwise it is rather pointless to use it as an argument
RyuuKage Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Do you really think the game designers will create a perma-death for Sith characters? Otherwise it is rather pointless to use it as an argument it was a joke, but now that you bring that up.... how exactly would the constant struggle against your Sith associates work when everyone respawns? You might beat one guy in a fair fight, beat a second, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere the first guy comes in and whollops your severely weakened self...the Sith mentality kinda requires perma-death to function properly or it's just an endless civil war. Maybe they'll judge by the number of victories or something...

Maybe they'll judge by the number of victories or something... They won't have perma death for that exact reason. Nobody wants to get ganked after a hard fight by an annoying player and have to start the game all over from scratch. They will probably have something like WoW's arena system. Battles between players of the same faction will be pitted, non-deathmatch events. And yeah, this is gonna run contrary to the Sith idea of kill or be killed, but lets face it, they're gonna have to do it that way if they want to keep players happy.

Plus, they could always be a little divergent from the usual Sith...I mean, they probably want as much cannon-fodder Sith as possible for the war, after all. XD
Sabretooth Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Well for one, Sith would be vulnerable to both Jedi and Sith. So if we're in a Jedi-Sith fight, one Sith may just slaughter the other. The Jedi, on the other hand will work together in a team. But I'm sure there will be some sort of balancing mechanisms anyways. :/

And everyone remembering the Kotor 1 Sith training knows how that goes...being rewards for killing fellow classmates...it's the essence of the Sith. But how to put it in the game? Like you said, balance is lost is the Sith turn on each other.
Tommycat Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Why bother with being either when you can be a scoundrel and have fun without being killed by both. er well hunted... wait... darnit.. bounty hunters.... and other smugglers... and disreputable buyers... and reputable buyers... and....
SW01 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Just play as a Jawa and hide from everyone! Maybe the thing will be arranged so that only so many people get to become Sith every...week? Month? Whatever, anyway - maybe there will be, as suggested, non-deathmatch contests, tournaments, to decide who gets to ascend in that cycle.
Istorian Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I'd personally like to play as a Jedi, and co-operate with the other Jedi to kill Sith...The master-apprentice system that works in SW Galaxies is a very good example of how the relationship between master and apprentice should go...But that's just my opinion. |I|
Darca Lar Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 jedi tend to live longer XD Non-force users like smugglers live longer since they avoid confrontations when possible. Jedi are always battling Sith and weighed down by restrictions; while the Sith face everyone and themselves.
RC-2067 "Evo" Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Sith are awesome, don't get me wrong, but it comes down to power or doing what's right. It feels good to do the right thing, even if it's in a game.
Master Finch Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 To be honest, the Jedi will always be the winners. You don't need fancy lightning skills or fancy choking skills when you've got Stasis Field to freeze people and Force Wave to stun people. That was seriously overpowered in KotOR. I even Force Confusion'd Sion and he didn't hurt me.
DarthJacen Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Wow, this was a huge necro! Some of the posts from the top are from the first day! I, think, the devs have covered this content in their recent E3 interviews, so if anyone needs reminding. It's on the Internet somewhere.
berryla Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Everyone will be preying on your position. The strongest one wins.

O yeah, being Sith does not come with dental care in it's insurance package... So, are you saying that the Sith operate in a fully free market and the Jedi are unionised?
Droma Nise Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I think every class will have it limitations
