Knights of the Old Republic (video game)/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* Malachor, the final world of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]] II'', was incredibly emotionally affecting - it felt like the end of the world (it was indeed the end of the game).

*** Considering Atton's back story as a {{spoiler|former Sith assassin}}, it would also be a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and [[Redemption Equals Death]] moment if he has been turned to Light Side via the Exile's influence.

** The Exile's brushes with {{spoiler|Revan's}} love interests are truly depressing. What compounds this is the story so far from the MMO: '''both player characters apparently disappear from the known-galaxy to die seemingly-pointless deaths, never again seeing anyone they love.''' This may not prove to be the full story, but it's pretty [[Gosh Dang It to Heck|gorram]] depressing. No K3 was bad enough, but seriously, what the hell?

*** Making this Troper's eyes roll ''hard'' is the comic book they were giving away with the MMO's demo. There's this hotheaded young Jedi named "Shan," and the Council is worried about "her heritage." Does that mean {{spoiler|that they're going with the idea that M!Revan knocked Bastila up, skipped town without telling anyone, died alone, saddling her with a [[Someone to Remember Him By]] and the consequences?}} Excuse me while I hurl.

*** Carth's appearances, if {{spoiler|Revan}} is established as female and Light Side, are particularly affecting. "There's just this emptiness where she used to be." It's enough to make you picket Bioware/Obsidian and ''demand'' KotOR 3 just to tie off that plot thread.

* A cut ending from the first game if the player is female {{spoiler|and pursues the romantic option with Carth and chooses to return to being a Sith Lord. After killing Malak and preparing to destroy the Republic fleet, Carth will, somehow, make it to the bridge of the Star Forge where and Revan and Bastalia are and try to convince Revan to stop her fleet, also telling her he loves her despite everything. You can just choose to kill him, but if you agree, you kill Bastalia (who is NOT pleased with the [[Love Reedems]] moment) and Carth admits that there's no escape for either of you. Lovers die together. After this you get the scene from the lightside ending of the Republic fleet destroying the Star Forge and Vandar Tokare question at what cost the victory came at, wondering where you and your crew are. Dead, you may have saved the Republic, but you and your whole party are dead now.}}
