hmmm! How does it look? A bit of a Spoiler

Post by Xanatan »

I really wanna know how a full fledged dark side guy looks in that menu..Does anybody know perhaps a site where I can see it?
I can't be evil! I tried being evil in the end and persuaded Zaalbar to kill Mission, I cried!
How ruthless!
I just wanna do good! Be a jedi!
What happens with you character dialogues if you are evil? Will they all hate you or is it the same as with light?
Can you turn Juhani to the dark side with that slaver guy?
What happens? I wanna know caus I just can't be evil :(

Why should I be dark? Spoiler

That Dark side pic is damn cool! Does the blackness shimmer? :eek:
People, tell me, why should I be dark side? Don''t you guys feel guilty when you, say, take that plate of that woman in Tatooine without giving her money? She calls you a monster and what not! Damn, to hard for me!
Do the relationships with your crew change? Caus Bastila was always telling me what a good job I'm doing resisting the darkside, does that happen with evil too?
Can you turn Juhani?

i dont like how darkside mastery looks because it doesnt have an obvious defining element that tells you you are incredibly evil. If you are completely lightside you get that jet of rising light wich is a lot better than just a dark cloud . Also, ive seen it animated, and theres nothing special.

I've always thought the dark side effect was fairly obviously evil. I mean what d'you want, devil wings and a pitchfork? Ominous music? The sun-bleached bones of the dead at your feet?

Plz answer my previous questions too..

Well, I think it looks really evil. Look at his face! And the blackness is the element that makes him totally evil... A semi evil guy doesn't have it...
What happens with your party relations?!

The darker you become the ruder your conversation options become.
And often someone like Jolee or Bastilla will turn round and tell you that what you're doing is wrong.

I know that if you start off good and slip to the dark side, some of the conversations seem wrong. When they all find out that you're Revan they still say things like "I'll judge you by the good things that you do now, not on actions Ive never seen " then you can tell them that you're the Sith lord and they should bow down to you, and they just keep on being pally pally. Odd.

I've never had this happen. The conversational options remained exactly the same, whether you went dark, or light.

Really? Is it just that you get some more evil conversation options as you continue through the game then? It seems a bit odd to have more and more evil things to say even if you stay strictly on the light side....

I've had exactly the same good and evil conversational options, regardless of whether I'm playing darkside, lightside, or something in between. From what I've been able to tell, multiple choice conversational choices are fixed, and influence "morality," as opposed to the other way around, as you suggest. If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate hearing of some examples. :)

not really, I was just saying that the lightside is flashier, no need to overdo it.

I'm just saying, anyone with two functional eyeballs can see that the hunched over guy with the black cloud and the red mist is a bit of a bad'un.

I never said it wasnt obviously evil. But when I showed a friend of mine how lightside mastery looked like, he said he couldnt wait to see darkside. When he saw it he was dissapointed. Thats it. Im not arguing anything but that lightside is flashier, and I thought I made it clear. I have two functioning eyeballs (well, not really but my contact lenses do work) its not whether or not it looks evil or not, which it does, but which one of both looks better. In my opinion, lightside looks better. Thats all I ever said. Why do you keep arguing? I never stated a fact. Just my opinion. We have two different opinions, just stop arguing because its not worth it. Please. :)

You'll be getting one measley skill point all the way through unless you have at least 14 INT. You can either devote every SP you receive to persuade, find a way to boost your INT, or reroll a scoundrel.

if you want good persuade you can also go scout guardian only you save the skills until you become a jedi. By then you should have about 20 skill points (give or take according to int), and because persuade becomes a class skill when jedi, you can easily max it and keep it maxed.

I'll lower my con to 11 and make int 14...
Persuade isn't a jedi class skill...At least, til level 20 my character had only one point a level, to treat injury...
I don't wan't a scout or scoundrel, to weak, useless...

Can I turn Juhani to the dark side?
Is it possbile to turn any character for that matter? I didn't find a way though, but perhaps you can turn Juhani when encouriging her to attack her slavemaster..

Persuade is a class skill for all Jedi classes. Scout and scoundrel are far from useless, you just haven't used them/don't know anything about them. No, you can't turn Juhani to the dark side. You can't turn anyone. There'd be big spoilers involved in expounding on that.
