Not every companion has ambient comments in Shadow of Revan, but I think all the romancable companions do, along with a few of the 'gibberish' speaking aliens. I think even Treek has a line or two.

As I'm working on knocking off as much of the DvL event stuff while also working on what Legacy achievement crap I can, I've noticed quite a few easily overlooked companion commentaries in both Hutt Cartel and Revan expansions. I was surprised that even 2V had some commentary on Makeb of all places.

Of the ones that kinda stuck with me were on Yavin. With both Elara and Malavi, they comment that they both admired and aspired to the Imperial Guard as children and are saddened to see what they've become. Near the Massassai region, Malavi comments on their relationship to the Sith Purebloods and mentions their Sith lineage is purer than his.

It's gotten me arguing with myself about making more characters to drag through this since trying to find all the dialogs on Youtube's been of mixed success.

Sith Warrior Shadows of Revan Update 21: Definitely Not Jurassic Park (but nearly as long)


Korvat’s going to be pissed that you stole one of his shuttles.
Yeah, yeah.
So, uh. Mandalorian Island. What can we expect?
It’s a flashpoint, so? Damage sponges.
Looks kinda like Jurassic Park.



Woah, not Jurassic Park!
Yeah, this place could actually deal with an escaping dinosaur.

Oww.
In one piece?
More or less.
Ready to beat up some Mandalorians?
Oooh yes.

I have a certain themesong in my head. For some reason.
Is it because I mentioned Jurassic Park?
Maybe.

Huh.

What’s wrong?
We’re being watched.
Gasp!


It’s the Mandalorians!
Oh, hush.
I’m just rubbing it in. Of course we’re being watched.
Looks like you were wrong though, it’s not Jurassic Park.
Aww, poo poo.

If that thing climbs up a building with me, you’ll rescue me, right?
Absolutely.

‘Twasn’t beauty that slew the beast!



It was her boyfriend, with a lightsaber.



Don’t know what you’re doing in our compound, but since you’re here, let’s see what you’re made of.
That’s great, so when’s Shao Khan get here?
We’ll just have to take these side passages and kill their entire zoo until he agrees to face us, I guess.

Great, this must be the Raptor pen.

drat it!

Aand a T-Rex. Of course.


Ge’verd.
Gesundheit!
So, what’s next?

Big rocky plain. Some sort of Triceratops maybe?
No, it’s--

Father Dagon.
Oh, what the—LOOK OUT!

It’s using headbutt!

Ow, my head. It’s… super effective…



Hey, that was almost up to Mando standards.
I’m going to enjoy shooting her.
Try not to look forward to it too much. I need her alive.

So, we’ve killed King Kong, the Velociraptors, and an Elder God. What now?

Oh. Tigers.
:geno:

Well. That’s a pretty big tiger.

Good job it was badly dehydrated being trapped on this island surrounded by lava with no food or water.

Done pretty well for yourselves, but you’re in the arena now.

Uhh, we’ve passed through this room three times?!
Meet Jos and Valk. Husband and wife. Tough as durasteel, undefeated, and still eager to prove themselves.
Sorry, Vette and I don’t swing.

I’m going to punch you later for making that joke.

I will destroy you!

My husband, the pushover!
When do you finally destroy them, huh?!

Let them have it!
This is how it’s done, Jos!

I’ve seen Jawas fight better, riduur!
A very healthy relationship they have.

Valk! Like watching dust gather….

Get back down here!
You don’t have Force Pull! They gave that to Inquisitors back in beta!
Just pretend I do.



Jos--you’re doing it wrong!


You just blew up your own husband.
He’ll be fine.



Have to hand it to you, that was something. Think it’s time we met.
Yeah, what the hell. This is going to be a long update no matter what, let’s just finish this long boring slog of a flashpoint right now.

Oh, of course one of you has the Darksaber.



Click for a Video and a Fight







You recently had a falling out with the Revanites and the Nova Blades.
Tell me everything.
Oh, tell you everything! Sure, of course, because I never had a Sith try to assert themselves before.

Oh yay, a fight. So different. :geno:
Been a while since I had a decent challenge. I’m taking this opportunity to show my clan how it’s done.
Looking forward to showing your clan how to get its rear end kicked by proxy!


PTN’s Note: This is not my favorite flashpoint, in case you couldn’t tell. It’s not difficult, and apart from the fight with Dagon and this final fight with Shae Vizla none of the fights are anything special. It’s just the worst sort of time-sink.



PTN’s Note: Early on, Shae will open about half the floor panels. It’s not tricky to navigate but if you’re standing in the wrong place you’ll be set on fire for a little elemental damage.



PTN’s Note: This is my other problem with this fight. This is all you’ll see of Shae for most of it if you’re a melee character. Two legs poking in from the top of the screen.



PTN’s Note: She has one cool attack that she will do precisely twice. And then it’s over.





Click for Video


Sith!
Right.

Okay, so I’m a little rustier than I’d like to admit--but just a little. Felt good to be in a real scrap for once!
If I’m not mistaken, Mandalorian duels are meant to be to the death.
One: you aren’t Mando; two: that was just a fun bit of sparring.
Kote lo'shebs'ul narit.
Gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.
If that helps.

So--you know the Blades went and partnered up with the Revanites. Means you probably know they’re up to no good.
We helped out the Blades to have a good relationship with Raider’s Cove. We didn’t sign up for the Revanites and their all-out war, so we bailed.
Put out the call to your clan. You fight for the Empire now.
Yeah, my days of working for the Empire are long gone.
They ended when you killed Darth Malgus.
Give me a single target that’s worth my going toe-to-toe with, that’s fine. But the Revanites and their fleet of warships? Pass.
Where are these ships?
Couldn’t tell you.
I wouldn’t mind it a bit if you chased the Revanites out of Rishi. Off-the-radar is just how we like it here.
Good hunting to you, Sith.


Off to wash the taste of failure from your lips?




Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Oh well. Back to one of the only teams in the galaxy that’s capable of getting things done without my direct intervention.

"Deadly Hairball" for King Kong
"Cunning Eye" for the giant Raptor (100% a Jurassic Park reference, for the scene where Muldoon gets killed)
"River Assassin" for Dagon
"Strongest of the Hunt" for the Tiger (it went down the quickest, it is named poorly)

Of all of them, Dagon's the most fun. He runs around his battlefield a lot just kinda lurking in the shadows and has a charge move that'll carry him across the whole arena. He can also throw you into the moat at the edge of the arena.

There're six chambers total, I think once you beat Jos and Valk you can go into the other three to beat the bosses you didn't fight earlier, which unlocks the 'bonus chest' for the flashpoint. That might be normal/hard only though, and this flashpoint's already kinda long and lacking in story so I didn't bother.

Did that actually accomplish anything? I'm guessing they are going to help when you finally get around to doing... you know, whatever it is you end up doing, but at the moment that felt pointless? She wants the Revanites gone so you should go get the Revanites just like you were doing/are going to do anyway. Seems like you've done alot of stuff to hit nothing but dead ends lead wise since that intercepted Revan Holo-call was it?

The flashpoint is just a giant waste of time. You spend more time running around from chamber to chamber than do any fighting, the 'story' is almost non-existant and to top that off the fights are incredibly boring too. You could have scrapped the whole flashpoint and nothing of value would have been lost.

I have opinions about the SoR story (and some of the fallout from it when we get into KotFE) but it really feels like it was intended, or originally written, to feature Darth Malgus. I wish I had access to someone from Bioware so I could confirm those suspicions, but Malgus would've tied things together much better given how many of his contemporaries are going to be showing up.

We don't have to worry about Prototype-Vette showing up though. She's dead. :v:

Trooper Update 44 – Quashing Quesh



Stepping off, Jorgan. Keep an eye on the ship 'till we get back.
Sir, are you absolutely sure about taking Vik with you on this op? The man's a menace.
Menace or not, he needs to pull his weight. Unless you want to volunteer for Planet Carcinogen? And keep in mind we've only got one helmet with environment controls right now.
Er... point taken, sir. Good luck out there.



Ahhhhh, smell that fresh air, Specialist. Ready for your first mission as official Havoc?
Can't wait, sir. What're we doing on this slice of paradise, again? Bailing out another one of the General's pet units?
More or less. Let's see what their CO has to say about it.





Just hang in there, son. Havoc Squad just walked in – I'll get them briefed and in the field on the double!
Copy that. I'm sure we'll find a way to keep busy. Coria out.
Just how bad off are we, Major?
Things are grim, no doubt about it. If you hadn't turned up...
Garza'd dust off the file on her number two pick.
Everything went south while the Safecrackers were on a bunker raid. Intel was bad, alarms got tripped, and the Imps moved out in force.



Almost refreshing to deal with a normal problem for once. Okay, I'm all for rescuing our people, but we need a strategy.
Agreed. We don't have the manpower to fight through the imps head-on. We need to outmaneuver them.
Diversion is the key. Scouts found an Imperial command center, deep behind their lines. That's where you'll strike.



Just give me the coordinates, and I'll make some noise, Major. Vik, did you bring the good stuff?
Just the basics, but I think I we'll manage.
Let's give those scumbags a run for their money!
As soon as the Imps clear out, Coria will contact you so that you can all burn jets back here.





For a behind-the-lines command center, I was expecting a lot more resistance enroute. Where's the enemy?
Maybe they're all off chasing the Safecrackers. Or, maybe they're all waiting to ambush us the moment we drop our guard.



Or maybe whoever was on perimeter security detail's going to eat a court-martial for completely failing at their job. Or a blaster bolt.
Learned a lot about Imp court-martials, did you, sir?
That's strike one, Vik, now shut up and let's go torch this bunker to the ground.



Good defensive position here, if they'd posted more men on it.
Get those det packs ready, anything that looks expensive I want in pieces.







Child's play.
Seriously, we're doing whatever officer's in charge of defending this dump a favor. There won't be any evidence left of how badly he screwed up.
Hey!
Lookie here, it's the man of the hour.



I don't know how you got past my defenses, but you won't -
You're the worst field commander I've seen all week, and I saw Vik here trying to lead men into battle.
Hey! Those men had-
Shut up, Vik.
Uh, if this is a bad time, I can -hgrk!



He didn't even send the distress call. It's like I have to do everything myself!
Burden of leadership, boss. Not that I'd know anything about that.
Think that did the trick, I've got Coria calling in now.



I don't know what you're doing, but the Imps don't like it. You'll have a lot of company soon – suggest you pull out immediately, over.
We're doing fine here, Lieutenant. No sense in pulling out now.
What? Don't be a hero, sir – get out of there! You'll be completely overrun!
I don't need your tactical evaluation, Lieutenant.
Uh, boss?
Or yours, Specialist.
It's your funeral, sir.



Not that I don't enjoy a good rampage behind enemy lines, boss, but usually the idea is to clear out before you get caught.
Nobody on this whole planet's put up a good fight yet. You said yourself this bunker had perfectly good defenses if the commander knew how to use them, so now we're going to show these guys how it's done.



Bring it on!









Whew... now that's more like it.



Yeah, bet you're not feeling so confident now that... wait, they had a Ravager droid and they bring it out last? What the hell's their commander thinking?
Sir, can we stop critiquing the enemy and finish up? My lungs are getting coated in heavy metals.
Fine, you big sissy.









And that... is how it's done! The bunker commander should've been taking notes.
Unlikely, since we killed him. Their APC bugged out during the fight. Should we call it in?
Let 'em run. Maybe they learned a thing or two. Let's go see if the Safecrackers made it out.



Recommended for basking in well-earned praise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVaAAAnd1Fk


And it worked! I've seen platoons fight for a month to hit the Imps that hard, and you did it on a whim!
Some days, it's about having the right motivation. I'm good – what can I say?
You've got to be more than “good” to mess up the Imps like that.



I'll be glad to have your help, Lieutenant. General Garza already has plans for you.
That's what I hear. It'll be a pleasure to work with you again.
All right, all right – we're not on vacation here, people. Coria, get your men settled and ready for transport.





ONE RIDE BACK TO SPACE AND A FEW MINUTES ON HOLOCALL-WAITING LATER



Excellent. Very good work, Captain.
I'll make sure that the Safecrackers stay out of harm's way until our operation against the Gauntlet begins.
Your next step is Hoth – the last specialist that Havoc needs is stationed there. Contact me when you arrive and I'll brief you on the specifics.
Can't you tell me anything about the last specialist? I'm okay with no spoilers, but how about a vague teaser we can speculate about on the ride over?
I can manage that. He's... complicated, Captain. I don't have time to go into it now – we'll discuss the details when you reach Hoth.



Permission to speak freely, sir?
Of course, Lieutenant.
Something... or someone, has been burning up the air filters since you got back from Quesh. Not to mention that Cathar have an especially sensitive sense of smell.
The ship's atmosphere has exceeded the regulation parts-per-million of three different toxic substances... and five illegal ones.
And while I was not given an olefactory sense by my brilliant designers, my sensors are nevertheless informing me that if they had, I would currently be doubled-over in nausea, sir!
Yeah yeah, I can take a hint. I might've picked up a few spores while we were planetside, and while my chemistry background is mostly incendiaries I think they're starting to ferment.
Eurgh. Vik, you're confined to the decontamination shower. That makes Jorgan the lucky winner for who's going down with me to the frozen ice-ball to pick up our next Havoc recruit!
Can't wait, sir.

Going from what dialog's popped for one of my DvL event characters that I jumped from finishing the class story to KotFE it's left at it's mentioned that you were there in some capacity for the Revan and Ziost stuff, but nothing about exactly what you did. Of the post-50 stuff, the only bit that seems completely it's own thing is Oricon which makes sense since that's strictly the Belsavis Dread Masters continuation and storyline ends in a mandatory Ops.

I was waiting for an opening to bring it up, but let me say unprompted that I rather liked the Trooper's short mission to Quesh. It's an actual, straightforward military operation as part of the front line of the regular war, and while your motivation for participating is still tied to a galaxy-spanning goal of taking out the Empire's latest superweapon the mission itself seems more like the sort of work commandos would be doing.

It's also nice that the only big choice is whether you want to stay and dish out a bigger beating on the Imperials, and fighting twenty more men feels like about the right scale of accomplishment for a larger-than-life soldier rather than saving a species or destroying a forgotten alien horror. Then again, I suppose if all the Trooper's missions were so "street level" it'd be hard to understand why they could become the Big Hero charged with saving the galaxy later on.

Mandolorian iron supposedly resists lightsabers if my nerd knowledge serves me, and in any event making lightsaber resistant stuff is apparently popular back in the TOR era given the high number of Force users running around (KOTOR 1 had a bit about that at the start, and I imagine 300 years later hasn't changed much). By the prequel trilogy era of course you were a trifle shorter on lightsaber wielding enemies unless you were a criminal, and regulating all the cortosis and such would be easy enough (especially after millennia of mining the stuff) and after that no lightsabers period for most folks.

Angry Salami

Don't trust the skull.
The Mandalorian's whole thing in this era is going through cycles of "We'll prove our awesomeness by taking on Jedi!"/"Oh crap, we got our rear end kicked by the Jedi!", so it makes sense they would design their equipment with light-sabers in mind.

Part of it may also be that, at least according to Zahn's books where I first encountered the material, it's fairly inferior for most purposes other than resisting lightsaber blows, so when 'sabers stop being a common thing to encounter on a regular basis, the stuff went out of fashion like horse buggy whip factories.

The Rogue Squadron books also make brief mention of it, I think in the I, Jedi spinoff where Horn encounters someone with cortosis armor and another character explains that cortosis-weave is expensive and so rarely seen outside of people specifically out to hunt Jedi.

kaosdrachen

Right. Similarly, most current-era military and police body armor is relatively poor protection against, say, a Scottish Claymore wielded with murderous intent. Armor designs adapt to the threat environment; expensive stuff that protects against a threat that no longer occurs with any kind of regularity will get phased out pretty quick.

In universe, cortosis is good for making armor in general; it's dense, strong, resilient, and it spreads heat like a motherfucker. It's just ruinously expensive to mine and process.

Sith Warrior Shadows of Revan Update 22: Return of the Bird Person



Click for Video




:ughh:
Data from the Nova Blades hinted at the location of a Revanite safehouse in Raider’s Cove. We looked into it and were ambushed.
They wouldn’t bother taking Theron prisoner unless they needed something from him.
Were I in their position, I’d do everything I could to learn how much Theron knows.
Whatever the case, I stand by my decision to not impede in Theron’s abduction--and I know Theron would, too. Now he’s in a position to do what he does.
… Get tortured?
Where do you stand on this, Deefour?
Me? No one ever asks my opinion--not even the hairy lug here! You honor me!
Jakarro does make an excellent point--but, then, so does Miss Beniko.

Good suggestion, droid! I will keep you plugged in for that!
Hopefully you fared much better with the Mandalorians.

Of course. From examining the Nova Blades’ data, it looks as though they’ve been routing Imperial and Republic fleets here to Rishi.
So the Empire and Republic are drawn into a full-scale battle, and whoever’s left standing, the Revanites pick off.
And we still don’t know who we can trust. We need to interfere with the Revanites’ plans, if not stop them outright.
The droid knows where they are!

:what:
Yes, it’s true. I was able to pinpoint several communications originating from another island.
I’m told there’s a Rishii village on the outskirts. I can’t imagine they would resent our presence there.
The village will be our staging area. After the Revanites fall, I will confront Revan myself.
Yes, my lord.
We have to assume Revan’s expecting a resistance force now; you should expect to find patrols along the way.

Are you in charge here?
We don’t really operate that way, but I can act as that sort of figure if you require it of me. How might I help?
My allies and I would like to stay here.
Do what you like. No Rishii will have an issue with your presence.
More bird people.
I suppose now that we’ve left Raider’s Cove, you’re going to start complaining about them instead of the pirates?

You cleared the path well. And made a friend?
I am called Arankau.
The other inhabitants on this island--are you in contact with them? Do you know what they’re up to?
If an individual Rishii chooses to get involved with others, that’s that Rishii’s choice. Otherwise, we tend to see no reason to inquire.
Ooh, so that’s what setting the ethos to ‘fanatic individualists’ does.

Imperial and Republic traitors working side by side but still wary of one another.
This may provide an opportunity--either to exact atonement for their deception, or to employ a little deception of our own.
It’s an opportunity to thin the ranks, is what it is.
Your zeal for making heads roll never ceases to surprise me, Deefour. Don’t worry yourself; it may yet come to that.
I’ll take a closer look at these Revanite camps.
And we’ll attempt to establish a better grasp of their activities.


We Rishii would be grateful for your help around the village--if you choose to provide it, of course.
Of course.
Savor your travels.
Ok, I admit it--the Rishii terrify me. Just look at those beaks! I’m going to have nightmares about being snapped up and eaten.

The Emperor’s Wrath? Here?
We’re found out. I suppose Darth Marr sent you to fight his battle for him. Seems to be his usual way.
Now that’s hitting the nail on the head.
No, better still: you learned about us and thought Marr could be in on it. You’re here on your own. We have the upper hand.




It does seem we’ve been less than a step ahead for some time now. Opposition at our heels and in the shadows….
You’ll get no further resistance from me. I can’t vouch for every last Imperial Revanite, of course, but I can speak for those present.
What do you intend to do about the others?
Captain Milenec’s Republic contingent? Whatever your move, you’ll have my fighters at your back. Ultimately, we are loyal to the Empire….








We’re going to kill that slimy weasel off-camera later, right?
Absolutely.

You… you’ve got Ivress’s people! You’ve turned him against the cause?
Whatever you think you’ve accomplished, you won’t stop Revan, I promise you.
Laying waste to the Empire and Republic--what does Revan hope to accomplish?
Revan wants to reshape the galaxy; to save it. That comes at a cost most find too high to pay. Not me.
I’ll tell you this much: they took your collaborator to a stronghold in a valley on this very island. I hope you chase after him. You won’t survive.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
There needs to be more times in games where you show up, point out that you're pretty capable of getting your way (chief example of you being able to get there in the first place,) and the 'hah I don't believe you can!' retort gets shot down by someone pointing out that you got there in the first place.

It's hilarious :allears:

Royalty is a continuous cutting motion


There are times when you just have to feel bad for whichever generic lieutenant thought he could stop someone on the Dark Council from doing whatever the hell they wanted.

I like this scene in general, I just wish you could turn around and win over the Republic guy the same way.

"You'll never stop us!"

"Emperor's Wrath."

"Oh. Right. Here are my half of the passcodes for Revan's bunker."

To be fair, surrendering to Sith has not historically worked out super great for the vast majority of people.

That's the chief disappointment of that scene yeah.

"You'll never stop us!"
"Emperor's Wrath."
"So what!? We're Republic!"
"I got the Empire's side of your little encampment to go along with me."
"Oh, ok, that changes things. Um. Ceasefire if I surrender our half the passcodes?"

"What makes you think you can stop us?!"

"We're having this face-to-face conversation inside your command bunker/hidden sanctum/center of power, not mine."

Hasn't happened yet, but I can keep hoping.
