My fortune cookie says "Keep your plans a secret for now." I guess I have no choice but to listen to the cookie. However, somebody already knows what I want to do! Oh well, guess it'll just have to be a secret kept from everybody else.

Well, if you tell everyone you have secret, it's not much of a secret, is it? The real secret is the one no one even knows you have.
I would PM icebeast to find out what it is...but then I would need to give damn.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']When's the next UMvC3 night, guys?
I'm learning how to Doom![/QUOTE]
Whenever you want? I'm not picky, just as long as it doesn't start at like... 2:00 AM EST.
[quote name='gunm']This sucks. All I can think about is Star Wars The Old Republic and what will happen to my Twilek Sith Inquisitor next...[/QUOTE]
I'll be honest.
I just wanna know what the happened to Revan and The Exile.
Stupid question:
According to Star Wars cannon, I thought, there can only ever be 2 Sith: 1 master and 1 apprentice.
How does SWToR get around this with letting any number of people choose to go to the darkside? Are they not technically Sith?
There can be many Sith at once. There can be loads of Sith at once. There can be multiple Sith lords at once. There's usually a lot of in-fighting, though.
I think that there's only ever one apprentice to one master, but I don't know. I'm... really not a Star Wars guy, outside of a few of the games.
[quote name='BlueScrote']You know it's not possible for them to have a story about what happened after Revan right?
and I don't even remember who the exile was (was that kotor 2? I didn't play that).[/QUOTE]
Yes, The Exile (or The General, depending on who's talking) was the main character of KotOR II. He/she was one of Revan's generals in the Mandalorian wars.
KotOR 2 talk in spoiler tags because I'm paranoid about this shit:
KotOR 2 leaves the path that you took at the end of the first game open, but they all converge on one thing: Revan found something far more important than leading/fighting the Sith, and got disapeared as all . KotOR 2's ending - as much as KotOR 2 actually had an ending - has The Exile following Revan's path. There's a bit of a build-up to the whole "two super-powerful force-users who have been all over the alignment scale at different points in their lives reuniting because... we don't know."
So, yes, you can keep going with that story. There are loads of places you could go. Maybe some of it shows up in the lore of The Old Republic (in my brief time in the beta, the only references to the earlier games were the mentions of Visas Mar in the Miraluka lore and Bastilla's hilariously glitchy grandkid); I dunno. But I still wanna actually play it some day.
EDIT: Also, Obsidian at one point said, " y'all, the canon is this: light-side male first game, light-side female second. Suck it down." I dunno if Bioware kept that, but it's very lightly hinted that it is so.

That started around the era of Darth Sidious (the emperor) and his master I think.
Before that there were tons of Sith, but there was some big war and they whittled it down to 2 or something going forward since they naturally quest for power for themselves. Training more than that just means more rivals to have to watch your back from.

You need to go play KOTOR and KOTOR 2 like right now. You are missing out.
Sweeeeet. Amazon shipped my copy of SWTOR via UPS 2nd day! I sure hope they have enough servers at launch though, or there will be a lot of pissed off people.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']That sounds about right. I mean, I played it through 3 full times, though the 3rd was as a different class and as femshep; however, I couldn't bring myself to play through on insanity again... :|
Maybe I'll do it before I decide to play through ME3. :3[/QUOTE]
I feel the same way. I think we have the same problem. Just about to play it again.
But - I dont expect the choices to matter too much, its just your chance to act bitchy while playing (and stab some of the useless s in the back, but I'll go with good guy all the same thanks)
Next time I play a bioware game I'll play it the way I want the first time and go for the perfect the second time.
I really don't like the Paragon/Renegade system in Mass Effect. It stops people from playing how they want to play, and instead encourages them to follow one of two paths. And the way it locks you out of certain options based on that never really sat well with me.
