On PC, is there a way to sheathe your lightsaber while using your first equipped stance? Hitting C always switches to your second stance before it lets you sheathe it.

Default controls, X is to select stance 1, C for stance 2. So if you're already in stance 1, hit X to sheath :eng101:.

Thank you, this was not a story the Jedi would tell me.

i agree, padawan is best fun per hour, and there is no shame in it

this game is pretty epic, i am impress. a fair few fiendish jumping puzzles but a decent number of them are really fun to execute

my least favorite: anything involving caves

i never need to go back to the phon'qi (lol) caverns again, no sir

You can continue to get skill points through combat exp, right (there's no hard cap)? I'm not wasting any more time on these platforming tears, but I want to make sure I don't need to get that specific skill point reward.

Correct. You can actually max the entire skill tree if you really want to.

Even if you don’t use the blaster stance it will still show up in cutscenes with any mods and color scheme you put on it.

excepting of course when you get the bug where the textures on the gun disappear

- Pretty much everyone emptying out of Pyloon's after the story is done is really a bummer. They make such a big deal out of the star destroyer being above Koboh that I wonder if it's a setup for a DLC or the sequel but man it really gives a melancholy vibe to the post-game stuff

Oh holy gently caress

Thank you, I've been trying to remember why that name sounded so familiar.

"Tanelorn, also known as Tan-al-Oorn, Shanalorm, the Eternal City and the City of Rest, is a city of Neutrality, supporting neither Law nor Chaos, which exists in some form in each and every world of the Multiverse."

Think I exhausted all the post end-game main character dialogue, finally.

The last dialogue Greez has during a transition to hyperspace is him voicing that he values his family/crew and that he has a good feeling about their future on Tannalor. Even Merrin agrees. Take that as you will, in context of Disney narrative logic.

There is a ton of post-game endearing dialogue between Merrin and Kata. We might as well consider the Nightsisters as re-established. Greez is plying Kata with food and attention.

Merrin has her ducks in a row, too. Gathering up the Anchorites and getting them on Tannalor came up 3 times. She also wants to transport the Old Republic droids from the moon base to Tannalor and get busy on building more Compasses.

She also made a date with Cal to pull the Star Destroyer out of Koboh’s orbit, so here’s hoping for that DLC


Oh hell yes, there's some of this that I missed and it's all good news

It feels very much like a “the lady’s favor” moment, too, but a practical one. As a armchair student ancient religions and cult practices, there’s a lot of themes and ideas in JS (and recent Star Wars, in general) that ping my radar. I very much like the juxtaposition of the Cal’s Jedi esoteric/transcendent background with this Merrin’s Nightsister’s occult/immanent background. The Goddess and the Mystic, complementary rather than opposed.

Maybe a completely over thought misread, but I could probably pull an essay out of it if I wasn’t lazy.

That's how I read it too, fwiw.

Rayvis is a good villain. The guy is actually intimidating and makes me think "drat I hope I don't run into that guy, he'll definitely beat the poo poo out of me"

I like how (end of Lucrehulk stuff) Rayvis is like "uhh, that jedi is actually pretty strong..." He realizes that Dagan Gera kinda sucks and will probably get owned by Cal. Cal's encounter with Rayvis ends with Cal barely escaping from this large scary alien, while his encounter with Dagan ends with Dagan absconding and being like "uhh you're lucky that I'm running away, I have better things to do."

Yeah, you really get the impression that Rayvis is really looking for a Jedi he respects enough to grant him a proper warrior's death, and Cal is that guy
