What did people think? I loved it. SO MANY CHOICES!
I actually got ver-klempt and emotional and cried when I finally ended Valkorian. As a Jedi Knight who fought him long ago at lvl 50, and had him destroy Ziost and keep escaping me... I honestly was overwhelmed as a person when he died. It was so rewarding and great. I felt a huge weight off my shoulders.
The choices to save or kill Arcann and Scorpio were so hard for me. I play a Jedi Knight who looks to do the right thing, and serve the light side... but not at the expense of being a naive warrior. I will do what must be done... if an enemy is too dangerous to be kept alive, or threatens me or other people, he dies.
I chose to try to kill Arcann... for all he had done, and believing, even in his weakened state, he needed to be destroyed. Senya defended him and I fought her to protect myself... I Didn't have a choice to just defeat her and rebuild our friendhsip. She died. I got so sad :(
Scorpio... ya right! After all she did, after seeing how manipulative she can be and dangerous she can be, basically able to control hundreds of thousands of droids with just her mind-network... why would I spare her and let her have what she wants? Dead.
It was cool though... as the story went on, I started feeling, in-character and out of character, that maybe I should have spared Arcann. Maybe I should have tried to redeem him. I started rationalizing it and saying it was a heat of the war-moment. I wished he could have been my companion. On another character I suppose I'll enjoy that and see if there are conversations with him.
The ending: Pretty great. I wanted to know more about did we help Coruscant and Dromund Kaas enough when they were being attacked by the fledging Eternal Fleet? Why exactly are the Republic and Sith going back to war with each other? Did our Alliance not inspire anyone to work together? Maybe it's simple territorial disputes over planets and resources again, which makes sense in a galaxy like that, I guess.
