? That's the best part of KOTOR2. Provided you've built enough influence with her you learn quite early on that a confrontation between you and Kreia is inevitable. She remains your master, trying to make you see things her way, she admires you, and even as you plunge your lightsaber in her she is thrilled to see you succeed. A remarkably refreshing concept for a character vs final boss interaction.

>What did she mean by this?
at some point when you talk to her about Atris (in the Hawk i think) she says Atris walks the same path she did. You can get that convo right after leaving Telos iirc.

then at the end you talk to her about Atris again and that's when she says "There must always be a Darth Traya"

so my hypothesis is that there was to be a longer, more fleshed out Atris story arc where what Kreia means is better explained, but it was scrapped like so much of the content of the game.

Other than that idk, maybe i'm wrong

The original plan was for the player's choices to determine whether Atris joins you as a party member, whether you fight her on Telos, or whether she becomes the final boss on Malachor.

Well, before she says that you killed of the two other sith lords. Since she believes in balance (or more exactly neutrality) it might be about that in order for good to exist (assuming you are light side), there needs to be someone evil.

Good loses its meaning when there is nothing bad.

Not really. Kreia became Sith by exile and discovering the wounds in the force found on Malachor. Then she came to hate the force altogether when the sith turned on her. She uses the exile to try to kill the force.

Vergere was a jedi who turned sith and came to believe the force is neutral, she trains Jacen because she believes he can fix the force and sacrifices herself to ensure his future.

About the only similarities is that they're both morally grey.

>>323461178
Kreia was a Sith before finding a wound in the Force with the Exile.
>>
>>323462562
She went to Malachor to become a sith, where she discovered the wound in the force. It was later she traced and understand it was the exile's inherent bonding ability that made the wound.

She was turned on Malachor, but she found wounds just retracing Revan's wake or even just collecting Sion and Nihilius,

I personally like to believe that Kreia turned into a Sith after her husband died and she was presumed dead during the Mandalorian wars.

Kotor 1 was simpler. Whether or not that makes it better is up to each person to decide.

>>323463210
Also, when Kreia says 'Revan came to me in the end', I like to think it was when she had become a Sith, meaning prior to Revan's sacrifice but after the Mandalorian wars.

She was a jedi during the mandalorian wars. She was exiled afterward. She had no husband. You' must be confusing her with someone else's backstory, like handmaiden

She became sith on Malachor, specifically in the academy. Now she was well on her way before that, but the academy is what finally pushed her over.

The Sith and the Dark Side of the Force in general are metaphysical constants that can't be erased. The Force NEEDS there to be balance. Better that someone who understands this function as its leader, to minimize suffering as much as humanly possible while still satisfying the nominal requirements for darkness and evil in the galaxy.

Pfft. Yes and Vader had no wife too.

>>323465325
It's pretty obvious as well.

>>323466781
Going to the Dark Side and still being a Jedi is harder. Neutrality only demands that you do good and evil whenever you feel like it.
>>
>>323456475
Revan is the best sith and has the best name. Coincidence?
>>
>>323458352
In all fairness "balance" in Star Wars is just a euphemism for "Complete and utter annihilation of the other guys"
>>
>>323467298
The fact that both Arren Kae and Kreia were Revan's last masters alone says enough.
>>
>>323467368
Funny that the Jedi in the Prequel never realized it
>the Sith have been gone for 1000 years

Though, to be fair, the small amounts of Sith popping their heads from time to time were always up to no good.
>>
>>323467546
And that Kreia said 'in the end, he came to me'. But I still prefer that Kae and Kreia are different people, not literally, but that they have gone through such hardships that the beginning and end person are so different that they might as well be different people.
It really makes me want to see what Kae was like in her youth.

It doesn't help that every time a Jedi goes bad they say "Oh no, he's not a real Jedi, he's a Sith!" yet every time a Sith or unaffiliated force user does something good the Jedi get all the glory.

Considering she managed to bag a legendary echani general and the thing Handmaiden tells us, she probably wasn't just like any other member of the Jedi Order.
>>
>>323463468
That's true though.
>>
>>323468094
The Sith want galaxy domination at all cost, so whenever they do something good, it's mostly and correctly summed that it's towards that goal.
The Jedi are backwards on this since they do evil shit like lying, manipulating people and facts, etc, just to maintain the peace and good.
Atton is right by saying that the Jedi do erroneous evil acts but they do it with good intentions and for a good purpose. Plus, they just like to sit back not claim anything.

>>323468284
She was 'strong in the Force' which tells us a lot and she like was just open about fucking and was more questionable of the Jedi Code.
>>
>>323468234
Her goal was to kill the force. She didn't care which side she was on, because to her, the forces manipulates ANYONE who can sense it anyway.

>To be fair, to a normal person, a person strong in the Force is practically a godamm God.
No, it isn't fair because no other force user is built up like this. Revan, the Exile, and Kreia are held as some sort of dieties. KOTOR1 did not have this issue or atleast not as bad as KOTOR2. I also blame KOTOR2 for a lot of the more retarded hate toward TOR. People didn't like seeing these characters that were built up as god beings brought back down to Earth.

Also force users aren't gods to normal people. Mandolorians, Bounty hunters, even low life criminals in both Kotor1 and 2 brag about having killed jedi. They're far above a normal person but with ingenuity, a non-force user can beat them. Especially by exploiting the fact they rely on the force

Black Talon. The last boss of the instance is named something Baan. Same last name, same race. It's not explicity said to be her descendant but I doubt that it's a coincidence and is just a reference to her.
>>
>>323469332
No she pretty intentional wanted to fuck up the force, as least in the default ending of 2. She intended to use Malachor send permanent echoes through the force if not severe people from it altogether. She absolutely reviled the force, and was fully intent on damaging it as much as she could even if it cost her own life.
>>
>>323470056
How were they ruined? This is what I mean, people consider them ruined because KOTOR2 built them up as God being special snowflakes and TOR did not keep this trend going and brought them back in line with KOTOR1. Most peoples complaints seem to stem from Revan and the Exile getting defeated like bitches instead of triumphantly winning despite facing a far stronger opponent

You do realize that she was not the Echani general's wife, right? That's what sparked the outrage and what caused her exile. The Echani gneeral was already married when Kreia, then known as Arren Kae, had an affair with him, which resulted in Brianna the Handmaiden.

Revan is just a short form of The Revanchist, leader of the Revanchist fraction that led to the Mandalorian Wars

The only off the wall character is Nihilius, who can eat planets, and even that is explained, though not really elaborated on. Revan was just a good commander. Exile only true power was her bonding skill. Kreia wasn't strong at all. She's a naggy bitch.

Why people considered these characters ruined is 10 years of no sequel, and head canon. Also the sequel being a shit game. Excluding Nihilius, none of these characters hold a candle to someone like Starkiller.
>>
>>323471015
Because that strength wa sonly made by KOTOR2, in KOTOR1 he wasn't this God being. Also how is it ignoring strength? Do people just assume the player characters are weak/generic nobodies? Each player character class is a giant Mary sue. The inquisitor has the power of like 6 sith lords combined inside of him as well as becoming a dark council member from a slave in like a year, the warrior is the emperors wrath, the bounty hunter is the best hunter in the galaxy and sucessfully hunted and killed several targets every other major bounty hunter couldn't take down, as well as killing the Jedi battlemaster and a few other high power targets, the agent is ingenious enough to take on a dark council member with nothing but a fucking sniper rifle.

The republic side is really even more ridiculous for its force users.

So Revan should be unkillable? Why?
>>
>>323468257
She's a fucking Sith. She uses you, she manipulates you, she betrays you, she expects you to do the same. Following her advice puts you very strongly on the "dark side" path. Her entire goal was to annihilate the Jedi; not simply by slaughtering them all like Sion/Nihilus/Malak wanted, but by showing them that their philosophy was flawed and causing them to fall, thus annihilating the Jedi as an ideology, similar to what Revan did except less overtly. The entire purpose of her character, in addition to being a creator avatar, was to fuck around with the player by taking their expectations of the wise old mentor character and flipping it around.
>>
>>323471424
Also Revan doesn't even truly die from this, he comes back and this time it takes the strength of the PC, The current leader of the empire in the emperors absence, the Jedi order Grandmaster, a wookie, a SIS agent and another sith lord. And he isn't even "whole" when this fight happens. The Exile and Revan are also mentioned as the only two beings to ever resist the emperors power and influence (except for the JK PC) and considering how The Sith Emperor is basically force malestrom Palpatine tier...
>>

>>
>>323472081
Why not? You have yet to give a reason. What makes Revan untouchable and unkillable by four Mary sues"? And yes, at level 38 the characters are very much Mary sues. The only argument I am seeing is "Revan should be such a Mary sue he is above every other Mary sue". Why would you want a character you like to be rivaling EU Palpatine? He was only ruined for you because KOTOR2 built your expectations of him far too much, and then he was brought down and you can't take it.

I enjoy how the entire game points to the Jedi Order doing nothing wrong. All of the major problems in both KOTORs were directly or indirectly caused by people ignoring the Jedi Council.

Sources and claims made from sources are never simple because autism demands it.

One is that the Jedi exiled her because she bore a child and another is that the Jedi order exiled her because she had an affair.
The former is more in line to how the Jedi Order acts in general and the latter is more scandalous.

I just want to know where it said he was married and had an oath to someone else.

I only played maybe half of KOTOR, and I never really have seen any of the Star Wars, but I think you're getting close to addressing the point OP brings up.

Within even the darkest night, there is always a seed of light. And even within what seems to be the brightest day, there is necessarily a shadow.

It is only in relation that these concepts exist. They cannot exist without eachother -- they are both complimentary and opposites. They undulate and take turns.

This is actually one of the harder parts about understanding the notion of the Force and the Jedi Order for me. Because the Light and Dark side as presented in Star Wars do not necessarily exactly correspond with "evil" and "good". In fact, Light and Dark are more like Order and Chaos. Harmony and Discord.

That Jedi are always trying to preserve balance seems to necessitate its fall.

So wherever there is order -- whether a Jedi Order or an Empire -- there is always that which weathers away at its base.

No reign lasts forever. For any hero to arise, there must be a villian to necessitate the heroic deeds.

There must be a vacuum, a void, for the universe to usher forth that which fills it.

So especially in the Star Wars universe, for the Player, for a Protagonist, for a Game, for a Movie, for a Story to exist --

there must always be a Darth Traya.

I still wonder if Kotor 1 was a criticism of the Prequels. The Jedi joined the Clone Wars much much too quickly imo. Kotor showed the opposite where the council refused to help because of 'a hidden threat' much like how the Sith were a hidden threat behind the CIS and a shadowery figure controlling the Senate.

Kreia was a pretty hit or miss character. I really enjoyed her because she felt like a true mentor and her views of the force were very interesting and different from the other views of the force. I guess other people were just annoyed with her and didn't care for what she said.

KotOR 1 had better worldbuilding and setting. The planets themselves were more interesting, and learning about the Rakata and the Sand People was top-tier (up until they introduced le superweapon Star Forge, of course).

KotOR 2 had a much better, more subtle plot, and better characters.

Thus, I think overall both games were equal in terms of everything other than gameplay; each had its own strengths and weaknesses. However, since the gameplay of 2 was unarguably improved (workbenches actually did something, more weapons, more variety in builds, and more dialogue/quest options), I think 2 is the slightly better game overall.

Adding upgrades to items improves nothing. The whole system is fucked at the core and balance is all over the place. If anything, the upgrading broke the game even further.

Both games are piss-easy, and can be min-maxed. At least 2 gave you more options (through combat, weapons, dialogue, quests, etc.). In a game like this, giving the player more more options is never a bad thing. A few options may make the game even easier than 1, but at least the player is more free to make those choices.

Malachor V is still shit.

The prison reunion being the cherry on top, consisting of a whole three lines blatantly transplanted from a party banter comment that was supposed to fire on the surface.
But yeah, the restoration mod otherwise improves the game a lot. There are some lines that probably shouldn't have been restored and were cut for reasons other than rushing the game, but overall it's a definite improvement.

I liked it that way. The place was literally a wound in the Force - it makes sense that it was twisted, confusing and desolate.

The prison reunion was a bit forced, I agree, but there's only so much they could do with what they had.

Disney's been updating KOTOR 2 regularly on Steam, I'd love it if they did an HD remaster that incorporated the restored content along with new polish from the original VAs.
