KoTFE Recap
- Storytelling in Tie Fighter pilot.
- Vaylin is an unpredictable villain. She is difficult to pin down, you never know what she is going to do next. You got lots of serious figures like Arcann being very stoic. So seeing her and Arcann act entirely different despite being raised by the same family that is really interesting to explore. Family in general is a cool way of pursuing them. This is in contrast to the Luke/Vader family who are polar opposites.
- Both later chapters.
- Koth is a fun character to write. He is a normal person in an universe of space wizards with laser swords. He is a veteran, fighter, and pilot but he is never going to be this force , general commanding a grand fleet or an emperor. He is just a normal guy trying to mix in.
- Theron was originally a character created by Alexander in things into his life even as a galactic superspy.
- Scorpio – You feel she can kill you in your sleep anytime but she never really tip that way. She is is a centuries old A.I. She starts off as a villain in the agent story and then works along with the player. She is not a droid or mad computer that isn’t interested in organics. She finds organic life form interesting like scientists finds lab rats interesting. She is interested in interacting with players in a charismatic way, making her seems almost human. We have some cool plans for her going forward.
Chapter 10
- Kaliyo is a violent con-artist. She is your most exciting friend you ever had. She is a manipulative people . In of loyalty she is incredibly independent and she also have a background as an anarchist. This provide an interesting contrast to the the imperial agent who start off as a very loyal subject.
- A lot of players have a love-hate relation with Kaliyo. A lot of players would go I would never romance this woman but she provides a strong emotion and make her stand out.
- In KoTFE we see Kaliyo in a darker, lower place than in the agent story. That changed her way of looking at the world and give her some personal goals. She is also now armed with techniques learned from spending with the galaxy’s greatest spy.
- Having lost everything, she is loop between the player and Kaliyo.
- In Chapter 10, she is introduced to us as a terrorist on Zakuul who has been doing it for a long time. That in a tightly controlled utopian society like Zakuul is quite a feat and can bring something to the roster.
- She brings an dilemma for light side character to the first alliance that comes along.
Q&A
- Will we see more of Empire and Republic in the current state as chapters release in the future?
- We will see more as the chapters release. Chapter 11 will give a peak at some of the player just yet but we have big planned that is going to be a major part of the story as we move forward.
- Will Theron Shan play a key role?
- Yes he will be an introducer for chapter 10 and later chapters. He is a busy man, he won’t be there for every event.
- Mandalorians, will we see more of them?
- Yes we have a future chapter planned where you can see what they are up to. Alexander wrote the Mandalorian chapter.
- Will there be any conflict with previous romance love and new one?
- For example if I am an agent and I have been romancing Theron Shan in KoTFE. Now I meet back with Kaliyo who I had a romance relationship pre-carbonite. Can I resume that relationship as we jump to Chapter X?
- Really depends on the particulars of the character and where they stand. Kaliyo’s relationship with you has a substantial impact on your relationship with her. You are welcome to try and rekindle that. Whether she is in a place where she is interested to rekindle that is something you have to play and find out.
- Will other characters know that I am resuming a relationship if I am able to do so with Kaliyo
- Yes, it is a big alliance but people are still going to know if you are doing two romances at once. Other characters will notice if you resume your romantic relations with partners pre-carbonite and they may not react well.
- Will Chapter 10 uses the classic cutscene style seen with Alliance Specialists.
- No, our Chapters will always use the new character we are bringing back in Chapter 10 is Blizz.
- How long is it going to take to get our original companions back?
- It is tough to say. We want to be sure when we character back in for the sake of doing it. We want to be sure that it is very much tied to the storyline and feels appropriate.
- When you meet them again, you want to learn something new about them. Bringing back a character after 5 years and revealing nothing new about the character is not satisfying.
- The short answer is it will take time, but if when we do bring them back, you feel it is worth it.
- Scorpio Romance?
- It is really a question if Scorpio would romance you. Going back to the lab scientist and lab rat picture, it is kinda tricky. Scorpio did flirt with players before, but that was more an act of manipulation.
