The fake Batu Rem assassin was the guy who tried to attack us in the jail cells back on Telos. The Batu Rem stuff on Telos, the visit from Darth Sion to Nar Shaddaa, it all comes back to the Genoharadan. The Genoharadan were a bunch of fanatical assassins we first met in KOTOR 1. I've mentioned this earlier but the major piece of cut subplot on Nar Shaddaa is the Genoharadan story. Handmaiden has a great, subtle eye-rolling animation I can't sufficiently capture in a screenshot. We can ask about all the bounty hunters we say earlier talking to Goto. and that is why the smuggler's moon has become quieter in the past months. "So if they were all hunting one person, they couldn't attack each other?" ![]() ![]() "A contract is honored, and they are not to attack each other if they are chasing the same prey." "You make it sound like the guild has laws." The guild has killed it, as sure as they have killed their pledges and their oaths." I hunt no longer, the scent no longer drives me. "I am Vossk, once of the bounty hunter's guild, now no longer. There's this Trandoshan sulking in the corner here, let's talk to him. The whole 'open your mind' talk gives us a Force bonus. So there you have it, applied mathematics in a Star Wars game. I could be just talking shit, but the concept of determinism has come up again and again in Obsidian/Black Isle's games. So if you know what could happen, then like Kreia says, it's possible to trigger the correct flap of the butterfly's wings to created a result. The word 'chaos' is a bit misleading because the systems are deterministic, meaning there's still order in the events that happen. When she talks about pushing events along to make echoes in the Force, and to create a predetermined outcome: this is also consistent with Chaos Theory. It's presented in a philosophical sense through Kreia's lines, but it's really just math. You know the whole Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas? thing? That's all there is to it. To put it simply, every time she says something about 'sending echoes through in the Force', she's talking about the Butterfly Effect, one of the properties of a chaotic system. She's talking about her core beliefs, but at the same time she's basically rambling on about mathematical Chaos Theory. It may be hard to understand what Kreia is talking about sometimes, but there's a good reason for that. "What you feel is the echo of the minds of these creatures within the Force. I feared the damage to you had deadened you to such perceptions." If you save people, he likes it, if you murder people, he likes it too. What's amusing is this triggers a Light Side reaction from Atton, because we 'saved' that refugee.įrom his dialog, you'd think you lost influence with Atton, but Atton is weird like that. You're free to go on your way."ĭon't you get a warm fuzzy feeling from that? Who does he think he is, Saemon Havarian?įine, whatever, let's help out a fellow person in need. The Exchange were like the mob in KOTOR 1, more elite than normal thugs, but they've been sort of transformed into the generic non-Sith antagonists here. We run across this guy being shaken down by the Exchange. There's people milling around, a cantina and a pazaak den, and a swoop garage, which we'll all get to in a bit. The drawings above are pretty much dead accurate. In the end, it didn't make much difference."Īs soon as we turn the corner, this guy is pawning us off to a bounty hunter. It's difficult to tell in the crossfire, and the Sith were led by Jedi. The Jedi destroyed planets across the galaxy, and here's where the wreckage ended up." and anyone else who was rendered homeless by the war. "This sector's filled with refugees from the Jedi Civil War, and even as far back as the Mandalorian Wars. I don't know much beyond the Refugee Sector here, but I can share what I know." ![]() We can make him work for his money that way Kreia won't get pissed, right? "But in the end, nothing is gained by it."īasically, being an asshole to people MAKES people assholes. "I command the Force, and yet these small cruelties are all life presents me with." "These small acts of cruelty bore me - to take money from others, to insult them, to threaten their lives." "Five credits for a beggar? Who do I look like, Paul Allen? Well, actually I do kind of look like Paul Allen." So we've finally arrived on Nar Shaddaa, and we have two main goals.įirst, we have to figure out who and why someone put a huge bounty on Jesus's head.īy request, here's the Dark Side version of the 2nd refugee quest. Part 12: Nar Shaddaa: Does a Butterfly Flapping its Wings Cause Thugs to Fall into a Pit?
