Sir Vougalot Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 But just to be clear: are we talking about the player when he or she falls to the dark side and joins the Sith, or are we talking about the Sith antagonists? Or both? Because I was addressing the latter in my post above. But I'd rather not see it for the player, either, for the same reasons: you are joining a Sith group that is not in any way connected to the Darth title, which came about from a different group (namely Revan and his followers).

DAWUSS Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Darth Noob Darth Awesome Darth whatever I seriously hope they restrict it's usage. I could tolerate Darth Hawt on a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSerion Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hmmm... I think all Lords will bear the Darth title, but only the leader will be the Dark Lord of the Sith, the supreme ruler of the Order. Yeah, I think if you reach the level of it, you should get it, and Master on the Light side. Darth Mother-in-law sounds funny I think. But I think I'm gonna stick with my name: Darth Serion.

adamqd Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Like Zerimar said, they shouldn't have the Darth Title for said reasons, but they probably will to avoid non chronology follower confusion, and wrap it in a nice easy casual fan package... I hope not but chances are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 People would abuse it way too much. Not every one can be a Darth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Maybe, perhaps, the Darth title might be reserved for the few players that meet specific requirements, i.e., completing certain missions, being strong in the Dark Side, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 ^ And what if the Darth title existed BUT the moniker wasn't choseable? You'd have to pick one from a list of decent games the game would randomly offer you. Kinda like the name generator works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW01 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Maybe, perhaps, the Darth title might be reserved for the few players that meet specific requirements, i.e., completing certain missions, being strong in the Dark Side, etc. Perhaps a particularly lengthy and challenging quest? Something that is so hard that it keeps away the casual timewaster known as 'Ibedapwnzor' or 'tehn00b', and will be finished only by the more able players, and long in equal measure. And yes, I do think that it should be incredibly hard to complete such a quest. Just another way of limiting the tide of Dark Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Catto Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 In this I'm thinking of the Rule of Two. It should only be the Emporer and Apprentice that can have the Darth title, as other's have already said. They are the leaders, and only they should be allowed to have that title. If you are with the Sith faction then you're just a servant and not worthy of that title unless you are chosen to be the nex apprentice. And in this case, seeing as though its a game, that's not likely to happen, so I think that would be a fairly good idea. You can have restrictions like certain requirements needed, but in given time, there will be hundreds of Darth's running around because everyone will want to get those requirements. As I said: Rule of Two. Only the two involved should be allowed to have that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The Rule of two is a much later concept ie: Darth Bane invented it, but it isn't a bad idea to stop the million Darth's running round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, what's the matter with you people? You're slacking in your knowledge of Star Wars lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Catto Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Actually it was around long before Darth Bane. He only brought it back into Sith Legacy. Read Path of Destruction and Rule of Two, then you will know Revan implemented it with Malak. I'm not sure how many used it before Revan however.

GeneralPloKoon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I hope the Darth title isn't usable by the player characters, then it will be abused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Actually, there are indications that it existed even before Revan and Malak, back into the Old Sith Empire. They constantly talking about it in the KOTOR comics. Well, I guess I just undid everything I said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Catto Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, I had a feeling it was used before Revan and Malak I just didn't know how long before. just reinforces my point some what ... Its been there for that long. It would be stupid not to implement that into the game, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Avery Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Considering this is an army of Sith... High ranking or very skilled Sith like, say, the player, probably deserve the Darth title. Dark Lord of the Sith is really the only title that is reserved. Darth, in the large armies, just seems to be a title for an accomplished Sith. I mean, the Jedi are going to want to be called Jedi Knights, am I right? Darth is basically the equivalent of Knight for the Sith. So don't get your panties in a bunch over titles. Remember, Sith are one of apparently many classes available. Even if they have a Darth title, I'll still be shooting them down with my Bounty Hunter anyway.

Well, going back to what I said about the title having been used to death, and how the idea of having Sith with non-Darth names might feel fresh and interesting again, I sincerely hope it's kept to a minimum.

adamqd Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Read Path of Destruction and Rule of Two I couldn't get through the first 2 pages, I love Drew K for kotOR, but Darth Bane and surrounding New Sith War's, AOTC Palpatine statement retcon was CRAP, so I have little knowledge on him... so not a good Idea to correct people on stuff I dont actually like hehe. touche Well, I guess I just undid everything I said earlier. No, things just get retconned Don't you think it kinda makes Bane's Legacy moot? if everything we thought he the visionary had devised, was now just taken from someone else's Holocron?

Darca Lar Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Since there is going to be a large Empire of the Sith, and possibly several Sith Lords, what do you think will happen to the Darth Title? Will it be used by the Emperor only? Will just a few (preferably the ones on the Dark Council) have them? Does any one else have an idea? I'm not sure if its been clearified or not and I don't feel like cross-checking it, but I suspect that it could be around this time that the Sith title is no longer used until Bane rises and establishes the rule of two.
