Kael 1,865 Posted October 23, 2016 I was looking at is as an out of character thing. The player will change their mind if they are warned in the moment that they will get conflict, as they will take that warning from me as "this is a really bad idea". If they are informed ahead of time what will earn them conflict, I shouldn't have to hold their hand when it comes to moral decisions unless it's a very tricky between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place kind of situation where both options are bad but one is worse. At least, that's how I look at it. My own thoughts aside, I prefer to stick with the rules of the game as much as I can, so I'll continue giving them that warning. Why would earning Conflict fall into the "really bad idea" category of things? Conflict shouldn't be presented as the bad choice, just the darker choice. It could be a good idea to do something that may earn you Conflict, depending on what you are doing. 4 avalon rises, Jegergryte, NSIBystander and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Algetzz 28 Posted October 24, 2016 Not sure if this has been said yet in this thread, but on top of all the goodies everyone has mentioned I just want to point out the care that the development team put in to writing this book. I mean, all of these books have been pretty good about loading up on description, but I was really feeling the love as I was reading through the motivations and the "who becomes a sentinel" sections--early Chapter One stuff (before the species and specs). Even the descriptions of the Specializations (particularly Racer) seemed a step up from the normal quality, which is no small feat. 1 Andres Vorstal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cassaralla 20 Posted October 24, 2016 Took a gamble and put this on pre order at my local shop rather than constantly refresh Ebay for a UK copy to arrive. The gamble being my local shop has a rather broad definition of 'well have it soon' 3 Jegergryte, Algetzz and ExpandingUniverse reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FuriousGuy 91 Posted October 25, 2016 So Pantorans are the new master race? 110 XP with a 3/1 split? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyDaze 10,108 Posted October 25, 2016 So Pantorans are the new master race? 110 XP with a 3/1 split? They are one of the very few that can take 10 extra XP and manage 4/3/3/2/2/2 or 3/3/3/3/3/1 (but the 1 must be Willpower) without having the 4 tied to a specific characteristic (like Drall) or a major species weakness (like Gand and Dressellians). 2 verdantsf and AustinKatan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absol197 5,296 Posted October 25, 2016 I'm next to certain that pantorans were meant to only have 100 xp. They're basically Twi'leks, but with cold resist instead of hot resist, and a different selection of skills. So why on earth would they get 10 more xp? 1 AustinKatan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, to the best of my knowledge, all of the kids were in it. Son Jett was the Padawan that Bail Organa saw the clones gun down at the Jedi Temple.

Nytwyng 5,759 Posted October 25, 2016 I forgot he was divorced before the prequels! As one version of the story goes, the divorce in '83 (during post-production of RotJ) is a major factor in no additional movies being made for so long. It was a bitter divorce, and should a new movie enter production in short order, Marcia would have been entitled to a cut as part of the community property. 1 bradknowles reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spielberg also had a bitter divorce at the time.
