[@sgttucker225]

I think the best part of playing a Sith vs a Jedi is that I can make these flip choices and justify it by the character's traits but my Jedi I can't justify how harsh the actions are. It feels like the Sith ones are "Spare a few innocents here and there" and the Jedi ones are "Kill them because they annoy you and for no other reason" or "Commit a war crime"

[@ltb1345]

How so? With a Jedi it would be the same thing; you're playing a morally questionable antihero who spares or kills depending on the situation.

[@darkabysskiller]

It depends how you play it tbh. My Jedi Knight began as a generally well intentioned guy with the prime belief of doing what is best for the Republic no matter the cost. Sure, killing a few unarmed prisoners IS a war crime but it denies the enemy ever being given their soldiers back - it's not just being evil for evil's sake. (You can of course make the argument that keeping prisoners of war can be advantageous, but the empire, of all governments, probably isn't making POW deals for low level troops) Over time the choices became more severe because that's how the dark side corrupts. I agree that playing an empire character light side leads to a more interesting story than playing a republic character dark side, but if you're RPing a character with the right traits either can be justified and lead to a cohesive story (in much the same way that if your character has opposing traits to your choices it will lead to a dissonant story)

[@nessanderson6460]

@@darkabysskiller What hit me was how many of the kinder choices are coded dark side on the JK playthru. Even on Sith Inquisitor, releasing Mother is dark side while leaving her imprisoned by the Rakata is light, wtf!?

[@darkabysskiller]

@@nessanderson6460 It's been a loooong while since I played the inquis story so please do correct me if I'm wrong somewhere, but from my vague rememberings I think the general idea is that leaving the mother machine imprisoned essentially neuters its power, wheras releasing her - while potentially seeming kind or light side - is actually bad. I too remember being pretty confused by the dark/light allocation in that choice until I took some time out to think it over. The reasoning behind that being the dark side choice comes partially from both sides of the Rakata v Mother Machine being unreliable narrators. If MM is correct then it is an artificial intelligence with extreme power and an empathetic caring maternal instinct. IF this is the case then it would (probably - see below) be good/kind/light side to release it. However if the Rakata are right then it does NOT have that ability for empathy, and is instead acting and pretending to get its release. The player isn't given enough information to find the truth in the matter - but either way releasing such an AI could be seriously seriously bad for the planet and even the galaxy. If the Rakata are correct then it's pretty obviously a dark side choice. An AI manipulating its way into freedom to create force-sensitive life. God knows what kind of control it could exert on that life or what its motives would be. Consider: In the scenario that the MM is correct and it is an AI with true empathy and a maternal instinct. That AI, by the telling of events, became furious upon the imprisonment and abuse of its children. An AI with the power to take over belsavis and create force sensitive beings AND the potential fury of a mother in one package. Aside from the telling of the story in the game, we do not know the MM well enough to know that its intent is genuine. All we know is that it is very powerful and, one way or the other, capable of rage and deception. Unleashing that is at best irresponsible and at worst malevolent. The other way I look at it is that the Rakata are (or were) ruthless. It stands to reason that their AI probably isn't a great "person" either, as it were. Also, it is definitely gonna kill the Rakata. IMO not a great loss because the Rakata are dicks but it is still genocide which is morally not the best thing in the world.

Most pull from darker emotions like anger and hate because they are powerful but the drawback is that they're highly destructive, to everyone and themselves. Meanwhile, some are less aggressive and use their heads instead of focusing on their passion and desires. They are more focused, yes they can still connect to those darker emotions, but mostly do so in combat when power is required, outside of it, they make use of more positive reinforcements and emotions, which grant power all the same, but unlike the jedis, they draw from them as much as they wish, jedis don't do that.

The death of both orders was a mercy on the galaxy when it finally came in Revenge of the Sith and Return of the Jedi. Now Luke's order on the other hand, I'd join that in a heartbeat. Luke actually allowed his Jedi to be people, encouraged free thought, and regularly recruited adults. He never forced anyone to become a Jedi, and didn't demand that his Jedi cut off all attachments.

Sure, not my idea to put it there, never even used it! Republic troopers who could potentially be used to fight a sith I'm after? It's a pleasure to make their acquaintance. But if my mission is to kill someone, then they DIE. That is, until I hit Tattooine. In trying to retrace the Jedi Padawan's path, he finds himself going on a path of spiritual clarity. He doesn't kill the sand demon, nor the sand person who presents the parchment, instead bowing in respect of the tribal warrior. During the reflection, he came to understand that the light was stronger, but knew he was still too far gone in that moment to be saved. When he confronted the Jedi Master, he let him find peace before striking him down. The next instances of choosing the light came when he refused to let the lady of house alde go to the duke, then in helping General Organa and her collapsing front, inspiring her men along the way. But in the end, he still carried out his mission and killed the family of the Jedi Padawan, then the duke for having ratted on him. (Though, in my personal head cannon, he then has the near lifeless bodies of the Wilsam family saved somehow, brought back, and given a place to say in a much nicer area, where they could live in peace. Additionally, I have my own head cannon about Jaesa as well, chosing to teach her BOTH sides of the force). Further instances of the light would come and go, but it wouldn't be until coming out of carbonite that my sith warrior would embrace a new understanding of the force and achieve true balance in the force.

I think it's neat how there are different interpretations of the light side warrior. I say mine as a man who was raised to believe wholeheartedly in the glory of the Empire and in the honour of old Sith families. Though he did already have some criticisms of the Empire, such as the practice of slavery (he thought that serves to the Empire should be a passion, and an honour given to the strongest; slaves broke this model). Having been accelerated through sith training, he never really got exposed to a more "orthodox" Sith philosophy. When he got stuck as Darth Baras' apprentice (someone who was his opposite in many ways and quickly grew to hate him), he saw the Sith for what they truly were and how little his values meant to the Empire. Eventually he started toying with the lightside of the force, and saw the values of temperance and self sacrifice as not only a way to make his own power more whole, but to build the vision of the Empire he once imagined and set out to essentially be a Sith Martin Luther, trying to reform the Sith philosophy entirely. Though his time as Baras's apprentice taught him well, and he was able to hide his intentions to all but those closes to him. By the time he met Jaesa, he was a lightside force user in earnest, though did his best to maintain a reputation of being as brutal a darkside user as any other Sith Lord.

Lightside...but not so Light you'll let Vette wear pants. ;)

Gotta love how everyone who makes these videos has an underdressed Twilik sidekick. Nice.

The story of a Sith is walking into the light is so fascinating.

[@Pilot_Warden]

I kinda like this more than doing this quest as a LS Warrior

[@studentmoviesandvibes1671]

how does the star war mmo have such good writing? like goddamn

[@Revanbzn]

Going in the opposite path than usual is fun. My knight was so ruthless when they give you the title of master it’s very different (not spoiling anything)

[@TheCando911]

Dark side always best for imps, especially inquisitor. Someone speaks *ZAP* someone disagrees with you *ZAP* someone just stands there all existingy *ZAP ZAP ZAPPITY*

[@leonthayne]

Don't you just hate it when people exist? So bothersome.

[@SirFace4]

WHOA!! I have no idea that line or those options were there. I've been playin it since release and never thought I had that choice. THAT'S AWSOME! I'm going to have to do it again one day.

[@Straswa]

Great vid Georgi! I've always liked the idea of being a Light Sith.

[@himanshushekhar6137]

Sith Warrior is the best class hands down🙌🏻

Light Reflection: "The Dark is constantly in fear of the Light. Don't you think there's a reason for that? The Dark can grant you temporary power. But the Light will not only grant you permanent power, but also everlasting peace. It's entirely advantageous." Dark Reflection: "Join the Dark Side. All the cool kids are doing it!"

[@samuelyoung5664]

I had a habit of turning lightsiders dark. It's more entertaining that way.

[@aciarduce]

Light Side SIth Warrior is an amazing story change. Dark Side Jedi Guardian is a travesty in hilarity. You do the most EVIL shit, and everyone is like, yes, FOR THE LIGHT!

[@TheGeoCheese]

Hey my Sith Inquisitor turned to the light sort of. She only killed as is necessary. Unfortunately the hypocrisy of the Jedi keeps forcing me to kill the Jedi who only claim to follow the light while she walks the true path 🤦‍♀️ but it’s possible.

[@TheBurak47]

Story is not determined by your choices only but your aligments. If you have dark aligment then story will end in darkside, if you are neutral will end in neutral blah blah

[@TheGeoCheese]

@@TheBurak47 not all story works like that. Some stories do, some don’t. In the case of the SI it ends based on choice not alignment.

[@michelveilleux1275]

So your Ls Inquisitor is basically a renegade Sith that wields each side of the Force, being the most powerful Force user in the galaxy?

[@TheBurak47]

@@michelveilleux1275 thats what she said.

2:37 I like the twilek follower's cute outfit. 😘👍

[@williambenz9335]

So what I'm learning from these comments is I'm more interested in being evil than an interesting story. As with my inquisitor I have so far picked every Dark side option possible.

[@yoggz]

I've been playing this game for a decade and I've never taken Vettes collar off, I've leveled 2 Sith warriors in that time.

[@TheDocV627]

Im playing this game now and I love being able to be a benevolent sith, versus just always choosing the worst of the worst options.

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

My Sith Warrior: Huh, that’s a compelling argument. To bad I’m have to much fun.

[@RyanTheDark]

Honestly I wanted my character to be realistic. My character was pure evil at one point but Vette managed to save him from the dark side.

[@Arander92]

Lol that’s not realistic. It’s basically the “I can save the bad boy trope” which is a pure fiction

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817]

You realize how cliché that is right? "Realistic" he says, it would be realistic if you killed Vette after she served her purposes. Someone who's pure evil doesn't go good just so he can tap that.

[@michaelcallan5336]

I just wish that somehow they could make a console port of it. I know it wouldn't be easy since it wasn't designed with consoles in mind but I'd still love to see it.

[@clearlywrong6520]

I took up this option and set down the path of a gray Sith. Still serving the Empire, albeit with a much more urbane/pragmatic approach.

[@jamestomlin5525]

Gray sith I like that name

[@arcanefury3666]

If I joined the Darkside, the only thing that would stop me from leaving would be whether or not I keep the lightning and the lightsaber

Is he like the opposite of your Jedi? I like your sceme, it shows in a lot of ways!

[@arbknight12]

Reflection: “You now commune with the Light Side.” Sith: “But I can still use Dark Sifd moves right?”

[@PredatorBunny]

I play all my characters different and the force users are typically the extremes. Fully dark Sith Warrior & Jedi Knight, but then fully light Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Counselor. But after reading these comments its giving me the itch to go back and play through as a light sith warrior

[@MegaScuffy]

You have lost your way dark one..well now you definitely have.

[@sethmiles9436]

Always regret the fact that I never madw it to Tatooine with my Sith Warrior. Was always more interested in the Sith Inqusiter storyline.

[@Wesker-b7o]

Sith who follows light side are not sith,like papa Palpatine would have said. P.S. The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural.

[@jakejohnson9421]

I can never correctly guess the tone on a lot of these dialogue choices so I end up choosing the opposite of what I intended. So I slapped a Revanite mask on my Sith Warrior and embraced the chaos. In my head he's tried to emulate the path of Revan as accurately as possible. Unfortunately I've played SWtoR on every moral spectrum possible. So my memory is.... mixed. As a result the constant back and forth from light side to dark side has driven the character completely insane. As a result talking to people presents a roulette wheel of possibilities. "Fuuuuck. Ok how do the scriptures say to get bread? Should I just ask? No no I need to demand it! NO! That's crazy!! I don't have the amount of tuna needed to drive home the threat. I got it! Send the assassin droid to kidnap his family and demand the bread as ransom! No! YES! NO!!! YES!!!" "Sir can I help you?" "KILL! KILL!!..... WITH KINDNESS!!" "Ohh like that sayi-" *reaches for lightsaber engraved with the name Kindness (yes it's the red one)* "Ohhh..."

[@dragonmanahan]

My Next Pure Blood Sith will turn to the light. THanks for the video.

[@Boneworm852]

My favorite part of playing Sith Warrior is that every NPC will assume you're a psychotic brute while you can snark and scheme your way through every mission.

[@trascendentalsunset]

Sith owned by FACTS and LOGIC.

[@PLAYCOREE]

-So light is good, dark bad -good argument -Im good now No sith - ever

[@nathanielheilmann7351]

Even all these years later I still think this is the most Star Wars scene in the game.

[@Killiyon]

I felt like skinner from ratatouille reading the title as i am evil

[@Foxtail190]

When I got to this point, I knew this game was written by experts

[@Paintguy75]

Which is exactly what the Force ghost on Korriban tells you when you are sent to seal his tomb.

[@shaydowsith348]

Force ghost is on Dromund Kaas in the dark temple, not on Korriban. Ke'leth UR.

[@GameBreaker1055]

"Why do you follow the dark path?" "I like darkness" "But why not light?" "Never though about it..." "Light?" "Darkness." "Light." "Okay..."

[@skyslasher2297]

This is one of the most interesting path you can take in the game and really sheds a light on the Sith Philosophy and its flaws because if you break it down the Sith Code is not inherently evil more about embracing your power and emotions for personal liberation what made the Sith evil and unstable was their fanatical practice of the Darkside because despite pledging yourself the to ways of the light your still a Sith. The problem with the Sith was believing that the dark side was stronger then the light and that it would be the path they seek when its really just an inherently mentally and physically corrupting force that isn't meant to be studied exclusively its faster which is the flaw that ultimately doomed the Sith ideology. Its not that the dark side doesn't have a place in the force but its more a realm to study and use in moderation as a tool think the old Legends New Jedi Order who were significantly more lax on its masters and their students studying the dark side of the force.

[@thealmightyuntensil2368]

This mission and the combat style changes were actually the inspiration for my current (mostly) light side jedi knight playthrough. I created a SW, played through to this mission then deleted my SW to create a JK that looks the same and still uses the SW combat styles (took a different name tho cause i felt it was fitting to help symbolise the change, like the inverse of Anakin becoming Darth Vader) and switched my saber color crystals to blue and green but with a dark core to represent that my character isn't exactly a true light sider (I forget the exact name of the crystals) My headcanon is that this mission showed my SW that the dark side of the force doesn't hold all the power and that the light side still has its merits which led to him understanding that the empire is fucked if the sith keep running things the way they are (and by extension the galaxy is fucked if the empire/sith fully take over) resulting in him defecting to the republic cause they may be "holier than thou" and hypocritical at times but they're still less likely to do things that directly hinder their goal of winning the war (for example a sith killing loyal and competent imperials for failing when it wasnt actually their fault, they just got bamboozled by Jedi Swagmaster Bluntius Smokius 69)

There was absolutely no reason to include this within the game, but BioWare did anyway offering a key RPG choice that based on your SW's alignment and interactions Jaesa within an MMO that otherwise shouldn't exist and I love that it does!

[@tiagopatricio3805]

After this dialogue my point becomes even stronger: The Lightest Sith remains darker than the darkest Jedi!!!

[@H_Grunt]

My LS Sith Warrior is a Sith Pureblood. It's make me wonder, is that even possible? Just seems weird. But it seems to fit, so I'm rolling with it. It's what's on the inside that counts, right? Still... I'm conflicted. It feels wrong. Is he LS just because he doesn't kill for the sake of it? Sometimes I feel like turning back but then I think about Vette. So maybe it's love that guides him. I/he. Whatever lol. But that's a good explanation maybe for why he resists the DS. 🤔

[@TISOA_1173]

Or think of it like this, Honor is what leads my Sith Juggernaut closer to the light. On Korriban, I chose to not strike down Trammell because he had given me my start, so why would I betray him for a Sith Lord who had sent me to die? I denied killing Lord Grathems son, because why would I strike down an untrained boy, there is no honor in it. I made Baras spy tell his men the truth before we fought, because his men deserved the truth for their honorable deaths. He accepted Rathari as an asset, because Ratahri wanted to honor your superiority with service. Honor is what makes my warrior closer to the light, still murked Baras though.

[@louissinclaire]

My sith boi is sith pureblood as well but he took the revenant questline very seriously when one of the sith lords ghost dudes turned out to be actually LS(at least thats what i got out of it) . i imagined that spending all that time trying to fit in with revenants..he actually started seeing possibility of using the light side...at 1st just to see what happens (hes curious ) and later on, as he learned its ways and seeing how kindness , patience and understanding gives his followers respect and admiration towards him (at least the 1st 3 companions ) - embracing it . Im on story ark 3 so havent finished yet :)
