If KOtoR nailed one thing, it was how truly vulnerable the Dark Side of the Force makes an individual. Despite the unlimited power, there's very little gain in the end.
You gain power, immense power, but in the end you become a shell, empty devoid of feelings other than hate, anger and fear. The dark side is a trap, an alluring one, but a trap all the same. What is all that power good for, if you lose yourself to get it?
What's scary about the Dark Side is that Pall wasn't some Padawan who fell and never made it off the ground. He was a JEDI MASTER. And he still fell. The temptation of the Dark Side is truly terrifying.
Well there are already many Jedi with the rank of master who fell to the Dark Side aside of Ajunta Pall such as. - Darth Desolous - Darth Ruin (Phanius) - Sora Bulq - Inquisitor Jerec And many other Jedi Masters who fell to the Dark Side
It's ironic how the first Dark Lord of the Sith regretted creating a mellenia long legacy of power struggles and betrayal that brought nothing but death and destruction to the galaxy.
@@PapitoQinn That's exactly what led the Sith to their destruction. The Sith narrative has always been one of revenge against the Republic and the Jedi Order that defeated and humiliated them throughout the course galactic history. Though the may gain some victories throughout the millennia, the Sith are ultimately wiped out by the remaining forces loyal to the Republic and Jedi Order.
We hid… hid from those we had betrayed. We fell.. and I knew it would be so. Hits hard, the option to encourage him to rejoin the Light is such a simple but impactful act. Kotor 1&2 are master piece games.
3:25 is one of those moments where lore sends you a red flag the game never addressed. According to several sources, including the D20 rulebook,.a certain degree of Force Sensitivity is needed just to see a Force ghost. Takes a bit more than that to understand what a ghost is saying. Add this his kid swinging a saber and his home planet being settled by people the Jedi threw away as washouts and failures, and Flyboy there might be sitting on a powder keg even he doesn't realize.
Funny thing is though, while Carth is not Force sensitive enough to be a Jedi, his son is. You can find his son here in the academy if you follow Carth's quest line.
@@YuriXEstelle As I said, his kid is swinging a saber. But that's surprisingly minor, as Dustil could have a random mutation or it could run on Morgana's side of the family. But there's enough weirdness in Carth to make you wonder if he's got the same issue that much of the Exile's party had
This is where Revan gets the idea that Bane turns into the rule of two. This is the most important piece of lore in canon when you look at the rule of two being such a big deal.
@@ulfberht4431 Originally Ajunta Pall was supposed in Shadows Of The Sith. Luke and Ben supposed visit his tomb on Korriban. Luke tells Ben that Ajunta Pall created Sith Order and First Sith Empire after A Hundred Year Darkness and he lived centuries as its ruler. While this part is cancelled, the parts about he lived centuries as Leader Of The Sith is Canon. They simply didn't name him yet. But yeah, Ajunta Pall still created Sith in Canon. In Canon, Luke actually visited Korriban several times so this can be interesting.
It would be super creepy if this game was real and a sith lord's spirit manifested itself like this. But we know that spirits that leave earth never come back from eternity.
This game is so fantastic, is a shame that kids today do not knows how magic and interesting this game was. I’m dutch and in my country when i ask kids from my age or younger if they know or play kotor! Nobody knows anything about, it pissed me off. Kids today are blinded by shitty companies like EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Activision and social media pushing these bullshit games like Call of Duty, FIFA, Fortnite because kids mind are dumper than adults! Blinded to these Mordern games and never know how powerful and rellevant Kotor was and still is today. It just sad!
Agreed, kids these days have no appreciation for how great games used to be in the past. KOTOR and it's sequel are my favorite games ever, such rich expansive and amazing stories, dialogue and characters. But EA and other companies have turned kids away from great stuff like that, and only crank out bland, unimaginative crap to lure kids in and get their money, while not making anything compelling about each new game
Aamir Razak social media (like Instagram, Twitch & TH-cam) also play a part in the decline of games. Because kids today looking at social media and see companies like Ubisoft pushing crap games and they think that these games are cool. But they do not see beyond social media!
Sauron I agree social media can be a blessing and curse it blinds them to the reality of the world at times because of all the filters and marketing and misinformation it’s sad that it’s used to push mediocre or crap games to them instead of well crafted meaningful games like the KOTOR games

he got what wished for but not what he really wanted.
Too long. Too long, in the cold and the dark....
"Sith Lords we called ourselves, so proud.
In the end we were not so proud. We hid, hid from those we have betrayed"
From the tone of his voice and how he says his words, his mind broke long ago :(
If KOtoR nailed one thing, it was how truly vulnerable the Dark Side of the Force makes an individual. Despite the unlimited power, there's very little gain in the end.
The Exile: "Was it worth it?"

Venerable means being given a lot of respect, like the Venerable Judge Johnson or something
@@jangtheconqueror yeah I think he meant vulnerable
@@aamirrazak3467 Yeah, I made a typo. I'll fix it.

The opposite extreme is not the answer. You're still an extremist.

Bitter satanists of the galaxy
In death, he did have a few thousand years to reflect on his actions. So he probably came to the conclusion that in life, he really screwed up
@@The_Admiral5the jedi fell in the sameway
We hid… hid from those we had betrayed. We fell.. and I knew it would be so.

Of all the Dark Jedi i pity Ajunta Pall
I remember playing this game and seeing Ajunta i was really impressed how this dialogue was made and the storytelling,

Although HK-47 was also able to sense Ajunta Pall's ghost, despite being a droid.
@@bluehero-96 Yeah. Droids detect weird electromagnetic interference (which is what HK says). It's just non Sensitive organics that don't see a thing
The philosophy is true here. I feel glad I could understand this.
This voice actor should have won an award
And this is why this game is a pillar of everything good that was ever created in the history of videogames.
3:12 Best part
*“WE DESTROYED EACHOTHAA!“*
Such dramatic voice acting from Tom Kane there.
@@spideyseth
I like this part also very much [1:11].
This is where Revan gets the idea that Bane turns into the rule of two. This is the most important piece of lore in canon when you look at the rule of two being such a big deal.
Why this moment exactly?
Actually Revan got the Rule of Two idea when he was Darth Revan, not redeemed Revan
O cara era um jedi e cortava madeira na floresta, como vamos chamá-lo?
AJUNTA PALL
the pioneers of the sith order
Pall
Syn
Murr
Xozan
too bad PALL IS NOT TECHNICALLY CANON 😔
@@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow says who? Disney?
like I'd listen to them
awesome person ever since disney got their fucking hands on star wars... the great sith lord ajunta pall has become... uNiDeNtifieD rOguE jEdi
@@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow no he was a sith the first sith Lord nothing can change it
@@thedude3065 what about Bane and Tulak Hord?
He needs to be canon
He is but he’s not named ajunta pall.
He is actually. Also in Canon he never regretted creating the Sith. He also lived longer than his Legends version.
@@erenkaskarli9436
That’s cool but where’s the source for this?

Im a kid I know the magic of this game, Just wish It’ll have a remaster. So I can play as Darth Nihilus. :)
Not everyone deserves redemption. Not everyone deserves to be saved. I think Kreia was right on that about this one.
how much persuade do you need to turn him back to the light?
Not sure. I never experimented to see the exact amount needed.

Well they're still working on it, last I heard.
