[Zhaboka]

Got it.

[Qui-Don Jorn]

...by the way, yes. I'm going to release SotOR as is. As soon as I make a few screenies for it.
Won't be from ingame, but from Gmax snaps.

[Qui-Don Jorn]

Heh...check it out.


The first new saber hilt I've done in a very long time. Meh, not what I wanted, but it never is...




So, what color should Kreia's Peragus cutscene saber be?

Traditional green? Red? Yellow?...I vote purple cause the saber just looks bada** with purple.

[Fallen Guardian]

I'd vote yellow, just purely to see what Kreia would like with a yellow saber. I haven't ever put one on her. But I'll honestly cast my real vote for purple.

[LDR]

Viridian.

Since she's a Consular, and a "Gray Jedi".

[Zhaboka]

I agree with LDR. So hard. I always give Kreia a viridian or green lightsaber. My PC is always either purple or viridian. My shoe size is 12. Yeah.

[Qui-Don Jorn]

Alright cool..2 for viridian and 2 for purple. Viridian would be cool.

[Canderis]

I like purple, or silver. Why nt release it as options? Let us decide on install?

[Darth DeadMan]

Viridian will be great. Green is too traditional. Purple is good, but not for Kreia.

I agree. Viridian naturally gives off this deep sage, wise, and philosophic essence. Purple, to me, just doesn't exhibit the same effect.

[Zhaboka]

Purple is badass. Like Mace Windu. Leave the purple to Zez Kai-Ell. Or however it's spelled.

[Qui-Don Jorn]

Ok.Viridian it is...

This won't be Kreia's main saber and it is only used by her on Peragus/Harbinger. It gets lost after Sion chops her hand off.

Sounds nice... but if I may, I'd like to put my input in there... So here I am with my canon poppycock again ...and I read that Kreia normally used a self-made double-bladed lightsaber (weird that CSWE should write this, see here). And I dunno how the heck she would use that given she has no left hand to control it, but a more realistic scenario would look something like this (at least in my eyes, it would make sense):

- Kreia appears unarmed on Peragus, however only visibly.
- When Sion appears, she brandishes a hidden double-bladed saber (suppose she hid it in her robes)
- Sion defeats her, slashing her saber in half or destroying one end of the hilt, also slicing her hand off
- End result: Kreia's saber from Telos onward is a green, single-bladed saber which is singed on one end, like Maul had his sliced in half, hence using one half.

Just my thoughts tho, maybe you'll get inspired

[Qui-Don Jorn]

..could care less about canon.

Do the words "This...is...SPARTA!!!" ring any bells?


Edit: So what does happen with Kreia between her exile (her beat down by Sion and Nihilus) and chasing down the Exile?

Didn't quite get the Sparta bit, care to elaboate?

There isn't a whole lot of time elapsed between her being exiled and stripped of the force and eventually finding Meetra Surik on the Harbinger... why do you ask?

The Exile's name was established as Meetra Surik... somewhere in the expanded universe. I believe it was a novel or graphic novel...

[Qui-Don Jorn]

*snicker*

...*sigh*

This is why...

[SimonKTemplar]

Still not getting your point. You gave me a screenshot where Sion says Kreia is looking for broken Jedi. So what? What relevance does it have with her lightsaber?

[Marius Fett]

I'm guessing he was referring to the red blade? Hinting that Kreia still had her Sith Lightsaber in her posession?

[SimonKTemplar]

If that truly is the case, then I would say... highly unlikely. But I'm not going to try and shove canon down anyone's throat about it. All I'm saying is that I've read the source material, and implies she used a green double bladed lightsaber (at some point) during her exile. Whether or not it was broken in half or not is purely ambiguous as stated by myself, but it would make more sense than the story given by CSWE,which said she used a self-made double bladed green saber during her travels -- for how long, it is unknown -- and that I found that this sourcing makes no sense as there was no way she could control a saberstaff with only one hand. That's my disagreement with the canon source, not to say that I'm always kissing up to the damn thing.

[CptPriceless]

Regardless of what the actual canon is, as long as she isn't stupidly pulling out that useless vibrosword, I'm fine.

True. How bioware supposed she hid that thing under her robe completely escapes me.

Give that man a cigar!
...and another -25 points goes to SimonKTemplar!

Yeah I decided to keep it red, then when she builds her actual personal saber you can pick the color.

If that truly is the case, then I would say... highly unlikely

Um,..why?

and that I found that this sourcing makes no sense as there was no way she could control a saberstaff with only one hand.

..wouldn't it make sense that she carried this supposed double bladed saber before finding the Exile and getting her hand chopped of by Sion? I don't know, I'm just guessing.

[SimonKTemplar]

Pah, like so many modders you hear but you do not listen. You assume by default i knew what the flipping heck you were talking about by giving me that one screenshot. I took the discussion in one direction, and instead of giving me a straight answer, you give me innuendos about a red saber, which had nothing to do with the context of what I was talking about. Then when I give you my explanation you misrepresent my quotes. Let me get myself straight one last time, so there won't be another misunderstanding (and this time, try to take my whole explanation into context).

Kreia was beaten down by Sion and assumed self-exile. I find it unlikely that if she was trying to get herself to pass as a Jedi she would use the same flipping red saber if she was disarmed on Malachor from that saber. CSWE says she uses a double-bladed green saber during her time masquerading as a Jedi. For how long, it is not specified. It would only be logical if I suggested that she HID that saber under her robes by the time of Peragus, inclining that she carried it during her exile. Then, she encounters Sion and gets her hand chopped off. Green double-blade either goes bye-bye or gets sliced in half (which is my creative input -- NOTHING MORE). And at last, it was my disagreement with the logic of the canonical source, stating that she could not have used the Double-Blade during the entirety of her travels because, logically, she could not control a saberstaff with only one hand.

Finally, what I was implying is my input in correlation with canon. I am not some bigot out there trying to make you do your mods the way I think they should be done, I'm merely suggesting a more logical arrangement, only because I assumed there would be players wondering "hm, where did she get that red saber then", and in my assumption that some players actually read some of the sourcing and assumed she'd use a different lightsaber from her sith lightsaber, presumably to get herself to better pass as a Jedi. I was only suggesting and nothing more, and in the event I wasn't making myself clear enough of my intentons, I explained.

Hope this helped.

[Sith Holocron]

Enough with the canon-talk, please. It's so passé.

How about some more pretty in-game pictures instead?

[Qui-Don Jorn]

That I can do

[CptPriceless]

Wowow, nice!

[Zhaboka]

WAHWAHWEEWAHH!!!

That looks just totally excellent. A few questions, some off-topic:

1. Those are your own custom blade textures, yeah? They look LEGIT.
2. What armor mod is that?
3. What T3 reskin is that?
4. What GUI/HUD reskin is that?

Haha, all right, so most of them were off-topic. Main point: I LOVE YOUR WORK.

[Qui-Don Jorn]

Thanks Z.

1 Yes they are.
2 VP and ZM90's Armored Robes
3 Dak Drexl's Big Skin Pack
4 Wesley's Blue UI for TSL (use it every playthrough as I cant stand that nasty seafoam green color that TSL has).

..but onto why I came in today.

It's been awhile and I guess I forgot that I can release a seperate mod for public consumption...so I fixed it as what original discussion had voted for.





I can always switch it back to red for myself.
So, anyway TOR is down for maintenance so I got some more stuff done.
Yet I *still* haven't made it through the whole playthrough with RCM 1.8.1
Still desigining and pre-making stuff so I can just drop it all into place as I play through it.

[CptPriceless]

Green is the universal Kreia color... I like it ;D

[Zhaboka]

Yay! Looks pretty. Also thanks for answering every single one of my questions.
