I am obsessed that Jedi: Survivor explores Cal more or less slipping into the dark side/dark behaviors and patterns and how leaning into emotion as a Jedi can make you significantly more powerful though also extremely reckless and aggressive - however a balance could perhaps be reached by Jedi with the patience and support to understand their darker emotions and how it could be beneficial or harmful given the situation. But they fr don’t. Every time something within that vein happens to Cal everyone is like damn… crazy. Anyway

#that being said I am… so sad they didn’t further flesh out Dagan and Santari #like that was a really big part of the genuine first 1/2 or even 3/4 of the game and then… like #I understand it was mostly symbolic and that Cal and Merton saw the foil of their own relationship (kind of) and that love is not a good #enough excuse to be a monster but also like… that parallel did not come in almost at all #the whole game Merrin was based as fuck and pretty emotionally centered #SIGNIFICANTLY more than cal - and - if it was to be a true parallel then wouldn’t Cal have genuinely scared her in some way?#didn’t it seem like maybe when he embraced darkness he should’ve gone TOO far and Merrin would’ve needed to actually fight him to bring him #back to both himself and her?? they… almost… got there on nova garrun or whatever but.?#Dagan and Santari like that was an interesting as fuck relationship and I really REALLY wish they’d come full circle in the end but. didn’t #I felt like there was a bit of allusion maybe Santari had found a way to preserve herself too but. dude. they were so interesting as doomed #narrative antagonists or like whatever. I genuinely thought maybe Bode’s betrayal would be revealed like Dagan bodyswapped him #and that accounted for his seemingly bizarre switch up like. idk. grasping. and I loved the game do not get me wrong #but like. a lot of potential in a foil always and that did not see it through to the sequel #jedi survivor #jedi fallen order #cal kestis #jedi suvivor spoilers #I know it came out last year but. obviously I have just played it now
