Nope, the one where you find out your character isn't who you thought he was, despite creating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Having amnesia, being mind-wiped or just unaware of what you are, and at the end of the story finding out you're Revan, former Dark Lord and Jedi Knight from centuries past? I'm guessing there will be a "great revelation, big secret" somehow, somewhere, in the game. Whether it will center around your character, or around one of the major NPC's in the game, but I do think there will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamqd Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 My Guess is your past will be left out and you'll just be a promising recruit in either faction. I cant see them being able to write a gary stu storyline into your experience successfully, and still have co-op story... unless the MMO elements are end game content only? As for Amnesiac Hero... twice bitten Thrice as shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotorfan84 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I agree that you'll just be a promising recruit in either faction. For the Jedi/Sith story line you'll probably have just finished your apprentice training. With he Bounty Hunter line you'll be a guy with a a blaster and a contact that thinks you have potential.

Sort of, you Reveal hidden contents made your own PC, but you had a "mysterious event" that everyone talks about and gives you weird looks for that you're PC seems to know about but you the player only get bits and pieces of. You do get to define parts of it, but along the lines of "when you were there you: A: Did what it took. B: Could have gone better. C: were lame. or D: did nothing." It wasn't as "ZOMG I'M REVAN!!!?!?!" style, but still, your PC wasn't completely defined by only you. I'm hoping they just do the typical DnD/MMO approach, you're just some new adventurer/person ready to go out into the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(just in case spoiler tag) Reveal hidden contents You really defined your character, and (s)he wasn't the typical "Who was I before this moment" character common to most RPG's. You don't really find anything NEW about your character (then again, maybe that is Bioware flexing their creativity in story telling) the player finds out more, but the character was not amnesiatic. Though you get some extra content based on your choices... I think that was pretty dang creative of Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, perhaps for the main character, but for NPCs, it could make for epic sotry line plots. I'm thinking there will be something like this in the game.

It won't be Star Wars without some black-and-white/good-and-evil types. That's part of its charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saenjaina Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 While it would definitely add some meat to the individual plotline bone, it would in my opinion not be necessary. I don't expect to be some forgotten "awesome" or something like that. I'd prefer building up my own character whilst maintaining some kind of neutralness in the sense of being kind of average-joe.

Lord Foley Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I think it should turn out that you're Revan again. No one would see it coming this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukkoku Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I think since its an mmorpg the fact that every single other player is also some established character that shares your fate will take away from it. i think it would be better off with normal RPGing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velinos Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We will all be pawns in the war. We are not the major story line like you are in kotor. You will have your own storyline but it will not end up with you becoming a Sith or Jedi council member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
