ok finished the dxun moon bit and damn. damn damn damn. the second you're flying over you can see craters left in the jungle. digging among the wreckage for parts to fix the droids reveals skeletons, corpses, left behind ten years ago at your command, still rotting, still waiting. every part of this jungle is miserable--wet, rainy, wildlife bent to annoy and kill and you can't help but think what a horrible experience it had to have been as an extended warfront. one of your companions refuses to set foot on the planet. one of them is so angry to even be there again that he questions the wisdom in bringing him. and it's all a little bit on u. isn't it.

the jizz music in this cantina sucks

it's so crazy that kreia just chooses to say things at the worst possible moment. like wow here we are wandering around the ruins of my jedi enclave. what's that grandma you'd like to debate morality with me? sure why the hell not. why not now

love cutting away from my exile to play as a little droid. truly does feel like the Star Wars experience of a little robot getting up to Some Shit while the hero is haplessly trapped :/

[theheartmold]

@new-austin sketched my exile… I love you Mr Delste Monton… the Guilt Boy…

Find what you’re looking for amongst the dead?

an essay on guilt.

i accidentally killed the old doorman (don't ask) so imagine my surprise to see his twin awaiting me

Being a Jedi really IS just like being Catholic . You can be like “hey I haven’t even been practicing for a decade” and they’ll still fucking get you for those sins ten years later

[theheartmold]

“You’d be an idiot to go down there” WE. 🫶 are idiots. And we’re going down there. Actually I do love that you can tell Atton 🫵go in there. Go in the tunnels? Go in the tunnels

[theheartmold]

“Don’t go playing the hero too hard… not that I care what happens to you”

“Your concern is noted”

Iconic. They just don’t write companions like this anymore

delste: why did you cut me off from the force

vrook: we didn’t do that. you probably lost it as a casualty of the war

delste: but I’ve reconnected

vrook:

Also me playing this game and building Delste out as I go is so upsetting when I realize that I’m building a character who was definitely a fucking assassin with his skill set. Guys the Jedi wars had him in special ops at 15.

ok I feel like getting dark side points for killing akkere on dantooine is NOT accounting for the nuance of the situation cmon 😔 okay well. No. I do think it was a dark side move. I do NOT think that kreia was in the right to chide me about it

[star-lores-archive]

oh boy I just love hanging out with my friends! [leans in towards my droid] every single one of these motherfuckers is lying to us

im sure the ludonarrative of this game has been talked to death but its actually fascinating how all of the mechanics play a part of the storytelling. many such implications for characters with every decision you make for their stats, feats, and powers even. seething abt it a lil bit
