They are downplaying MC's power to sell how significant the new threat we face. And the story itself is not bad, but it did feel like my character was just an invited witness, rather then part of main cast.
Always glad to see your Dread Master Nox in action! Obviously, they had to nerf the more powerful classes (Nox, HoT, Wrath, Barsen'Thor) for this story but I found how to be very interesting. The Sonic weapon (which, given its location and size) seemed to be a military grade weapon that would be used vs starships and they needed 4 to hold Nox. Sonic/ vibration weapons have a long precedent of hampering with Jedi/Sith's ability to channel the force (specifically a much lower-grade cuff and helm were used on Obi-Wan to keep him trapped in his cell in Star Wars Republic as well as Quin vs Jeasa in the SW story). Though among all the player classes I think Nox would have been fine without help since to be killed he needs to be expunged of his force ghosts which I doubt a bunch of Mandos would even recognize (Darth Thanathon couldn't figure it out). I appreciated this easter egg tbh. As for the brief 1v1, given all the talk bout honor and such I feel Nox wanted to go blade to blade despite being a force specialist. The Twi-lek lasted all of 20 seconds before getting overwhelmed. If not for his Mando armor I think he would have died from the lightsaber throw.
They're really making us seem like a side character is this. I don't mind too much for now since this is still them laying the foundation of the storyline down, but once the Sith artifact comes into play hopefully next update, they'll truly put us front and centre. There are three things I majorly hope for when it comes to this story. One, we alone are the ones to kill Heta, and to not be forced into a team-up with Shae and/or the rest of this Mandolorian cast. Second, we can bring the Padawan under our cause/will, with different ways for the classes. Jedis and Sith can make her our Padawan and Apprentice, while for the others, it's just as simple as having her being part of the Alliance or if you chose to dissolve it, with their respective factions. We're long overdue a proper companion storyline and interactions outside from Lana. Third.....stop making our characters, especially the force users, seem so weak. Not for once during this update did I see the legendary and fabled Empire's Wrath, Master of the Dead, or the Hero of Tython.
"stop making our characters, especially the force users, seem so weak. Not for once during this update did I see the legendary and fabled Empire's Wrath, Master of the Dead, or the Hero of Tython." So trueeee, I'm getting so tired of us looking weak when we have killed the emperor 3 fucking times.
We've really been a side character since KOTFE. Then it was Vaylin, Arcann, Senya and Valkorion family drama, player character felt like it was there just to witness the events.
They need to record 16 different voice actors for every line the protagonist has. The less they speak, the more money BW can use elsewhere in the content.
Hope this game dies. Because I know that none of what you said will happen. There were almost a dozen situations where we could've used the force here but they were definitely too dumbfounded as to how to proceed the story afterwards. It's sad. Take me back to the kotfe/kotet days where we were the main character, did flashy force moves, were considered one of the strongest mortal force users, and didn't have to endure and play through this pathetic anime filler story arc. So yeah, one part of me wishes this game to end so that the "main character" gets put out of his/her misery of being treated like a joke and clown who forgot how to use the force for the past couple of years.
With how much nerfs my Dread Master got in recent story and cutscenes to his power, that even one twi'lek mando can fight me on equal ground, maybe i should rename my series to Discount Master.
Love the armor. I am using the same chest and belt for my Sith Warrior playthrough. I had a tough time making my choice, but your videos made it easier
At this point I'd take time travel bs, another unknown region threat, or digging up past threats like nihilus. Revan and others made a return why not bring actual threats. Next Expansion will be getting jumped by swooper gangs and your toon forgetting about force push
This is the problem when you make the character too powerful to deal with God-like enemies, then have to nerf them to deal with regular people afterwards. It feels bad. Like, how the hell a padawan or a damn fat twi'lek can even stand for a few seconds against our character after everything? Like we are suppose to be beyond final boss level now. Now the 4 sonic weapons just to keep you down? Fine. But not only the fat boy could hold throw us like nothing but also the stupid Padawan could just force push us like nothing too? Really?
Expected an update where we can actually do some flashy stuff and then I see the player getting pushed by a little teen. Now I know I shouldn't expect anything from this game now. Wasted my time playing for nothing
I want my companions to have more dialog. I want my romance companion to replace lana if you choose your old lover. I want to be able to over throw the new emperor of the sith and take is place or do a real peace treaty or for my character and is close companions to walk away from everything. Hell even have my character die. I want to fight malgus and decide if i kill him or make him my body guard. The way they are doing the cut scenes after onslaught i like its more telltale style the missons arent as long and i can moventhe story along faster
I thought the Sith with Sorcerer skills ought to have killed Bask with Force Lighting rather then pressing a sword to the gut that wasn't even a very impressive graphic. Otherwise I thought the over-all fighting choreography was very good in Showdown.
You know what really sucks about this story? Is it the force users being heavily nerfed? No Is it the fact that the player character is put in the side character position? No It is because the MANDALORIAN character has NO UNIQUE DIALOGUE (with the exception of moments with Torian, if you chose him over vette) I swear it really sucks that the ONE TIME MANDALORIANS TAKE THE STAGE! Our MANDO character is just IGNORED.
I think BioWare forgot we can use the Force…

@@Elphirein I feel like the MC’s power and skills was heavily nerfed.
@@kingatlanofatlantis3075 lol
We are the dark lord of the sith who killed Tenebrae 2 times.
@@mairon154 But yet I’m getting tossed around by some baby ass Jedi who’s a mere novice in the Force…
To be fair, Senya and Lana were also able to throw our asses around whenever they felt like it.

Its kinda like when a fight starts and the losing side gets excited, then notices hes clearly gonna die if it lasts.
I'm pretty sure Rikan has to be wearing some type of beskar, he took multiple shots and saber hits to the chest and it did nothing
Love the armor. I am using the same chest and belt for my Sith Warrior playthrough. I had a tough time making my choice, but your videos made it easier
Why do they keep on acting like the character cannot use the force and isnt the most powerful being in the galaxy
37:12 I like that 😆

Welcome back 👍
What are your graphics settings? I notice your cutscenes are generally darker toned in the environment than in mine where its much brighter.
I am using auto-enhancement during video editing, it does make some scenes darker.
Interesting. I wonder what happens if you walk away...
Ironic, Heta and Suun used a powerful sonic weapon to restrain Strog, only for him to give Heta the taste of her own weapon xD
She is lucky he didn't catch her. Paying tenfold with her own medicine would be the least of her concerns.
i really would like to play a storydriven RPG were im playin a main character.
Is it me or did they improve on the combat a bit ?? 41:33
Re-used animations, all of them. But it does look smoother, a little.
I want my companions to have more dialog. I want my romance companion to replace lana if you choose your old lover. I want to be able to over throw the new emperor of the sith and take is place or do a real peace treaty or for my character and is close companions to walk away from everything.

what's yr armor set called?
Is it worth resubbing?
this is the reason i stopped playing before 7.2 drops, i dont want to feel myself as a side character
