Star Wars: The Old Republic Discussion

Wrote a ticket nonetheless ... let's see what CS says  

At least customer service has to be borderline polite to you.

Post this on the forums and I guarantee you it'll somehow be your fault.

It's out!!

Nice to see Senya being such a badass, she's one of my favorite characters in the game. Though it's patently obvious that she stands absolutely no chance against Vaylin unless she gets lucky or somehow outsmarts her, since Vaylin seems to have achieved her final form and is even more scary powerful than she already was as a kid. If that fight at the end of the trailer is a thing that actually happens in KOTET and there's no Outlander (or maybe Arcann) to help her, Senya will almost 100% certainly die.

I'm thinking the ultimate dark/light choice at the end will end up being something along the lines of helping Senya and a reformed Arcann reclaim the throne after which Zakuul withdraws from Empire and Republic space (light) or taking Vaylin out, killing both Senya and Arcann and letting, uh...I dunno, SCORPIO rule? A reincarnated Valkorion? Otherwise I'd say that claiming the throne for yourself should be on the table and makes sense for a dark side player, but assuming the game's story will then eventually continue beyond that, possibly being the Emperor/Empress of Zakuul would be a huge obstacle moving forward in terms of writing the story.

Still want to bed Vaylin after that trailer? Killing is her ultimate enjoyment.

So much for speculations on the char facing Senya in the teaser. Candidates were Malgus, Revan and Thaxian. 

Beginnings are such innocent times until fear and ambition turn it. Poor Senya, she tried her best to raise her kids right. What did Volkorion see in Vaylin's future? One of the wild cards deliberately steered to unleash chaos to balance the scales? I let Senya and Arcann leave on my sith warrior who completed S1 recently. I'm unlikely to do any different on the other toons.

Love the SWTOR trailers. Honestly, I rather watch them than the prequels and even FA. 

Subsriber status? No problem here. I hope they have at least a special item for players who's with SWTOR right from the beginning.

More the opposite really. Senya told us that Vaylin was too powerful, so Valkorion locked away most of her power. What part of the trailer shows you a powerless Vaylin who only became strong again when Valkorion died in KotFE?

What about Senya trying to convince all her children to leave with her? How did that happen when Vaylin was in some hidden facility getting sick tattoos?

We also see Senya directly opposing Valkorion... which is different from her telling us she left because he didn't pay attention to her or the kids anymore. She served as a knight for years after her children choose their father over her, which means she didn't upset things too much when she left. Otherwise the knights and her family would declare her an enemy of the state.

Last scene shows a fully powered, dark side influenced Vaylin attacking Senya. 1. As already mentioned, Vaylin never had her full power for as long as Valkorion was alive and 2. that changes their fight in KotFE.

Even more puzzling is Senya's age. She looks fairly young in the trailer and about 20 years older in the game. Either that's artistic license or Vaylin and Arcann are almost 40 by now.

... and that's just the stuff that came to mind when I watched it once. I could probably find more details that don't fit into the existing narrative if I tried.

That still doesn't work out in the given timeline.

Game says: Vaylin's power was locked away when she was a child and she only regained it when Valkorion died.
Trailer shows: A battlefield filled with dozens of bodies, all killed by Vaylin who has her power back and has fallen to the dark side, long before Valkorion died, as Senya's age suggests.

Everything up to Senya fleeing that facility with Vaylin in her arms fits into the existing narrative, the flight and fight in the rainy night... grey area. "Certain point of view" perhaps. Everything after 4:49 in the trailer makes no sense... unless it's just a dream. Senya's nightmare perhaps?

That would explain everything, but it's cliché as hell.

Only one question remains: Does Vaylin dye her hair now?

It has to be set in the past, Senya is far too young otherwise. My money is on nightmare or force vision or something.

Btw... I never shot Senya and Arcann down, what happens if you do? Don't they die?

Senya lookin' fiiiiine tho

I always go to Dulfy for guides.

What felt like Star Wars to most of you? I thought TOR left all that to Lucas and Disney.
