Star Wars: The Chosen One (An Anakin Skywalker Quest)

Reader mode
[X] [Reward] To Do all he can to free the slaves in the Outer Rim?

[X] [meetings] Accepted. This would be a great opportunity to hangout with someone who wasn't a Jedi and expand your horizons. The fact that Bail was the CHancellor just made it better!

[X] [Failure] Seriously: Yoda was the teacher, and apparently you'd been doing it the wrong way. You needed to figure out the right way

[X] [Dooku] Please stay with the Order?

[X] [Sith] Suspicious: The woman appeared harmless. Perhaps that was the danger?

[X] [Dreams] Frowned in worry and left. You would meditate to determine if this is a message from the Force or merely a bad dream.
 
[X] [Reward] A political favor. Focus on eliminating organized crime throughout the Republic.

[X] [meetings] Accepted. This would be a great opportunity to hangout with someone who wasn't a Jedi and expand your horizons. The fact that Bail was the CHancellor just made it better!

[X] [Failure] Curious: You successfully moved the rock by tapping into your emotions, but Yoda says that's not the Jedi way. You want to study the Jedi way, but you also want to explore all methods of using the Force.

[X] [Dooku] May the Force be with you on your journeys.

[X] [Sith] Curious: The Sith Code was different than that of the Jedi. Did not make either code right, but you wanted to learn more.

[X] [Dreams] Frowned in worry and left. You would meditate to determine if this is a message from the Force or merely a bad dream.
 
I feel like the stats granted by some of the saber forms are like... way strong. Do they take more training to level in than force skills?
 
Honestly, Dooku has everything I want.

Possible Return of the Jedi Lords, Followers of Palawa and Lyn Arden, Anti slavery crusade in the outer Rim. And, creating a government which can be more effective then the Corrupted and rotted Republic. A Very high Charisma Anakin. Everything we need to make the galaxy a better place.

I would support staying with the Jedi, if we had a good chance of pulling a Revan but we don't, the indoctrination is too strong post-Russan reformation.

You could potentially sway one or two core/ mid systems if your charisma and relationship is strong enough.

Alderaan...Naboo...
 
Bail

[X] [meetings] Refused. You would not ally with a politician that could potentially hurt the Jedi if you said the wrong thing.

Yoda
[X] [Failure] Seriously: Yoda was the teacher, and apparently you'd been doing it the wrong way. You needed to figure out the right way

Dooku

Because it brings a level of decentralization to the Jedi that its needed ever since Ruusan removed them. It turns them into a bunch of smaller targets, rather than one big glowing one that can be taken down in a particularly effective purge. It also allows ideologies to differ without forcing a total schism, and gives different branches the opportunity to change with circumstances, rather than basically remaining in stasis.

Its not perfect, but nothing here really will be and I see it as a sight better than the current order.

That sounds like a terrible idea to me personally. All the Jedi lords seem to do from my recollections is cause strife and tension in the galaxy and I do not think that is needed at this time.

[] [Dooku] May I leave the Jedi Order and join you to hunt the Sith? (Requires 4 CP)
[] [Dooku] Please stay with the Order?

I really don't care for either of these options. We just got here, if we try to go with Dooku now, then what was even the point of coming here? Why did we even come to the Jedi Order in the first place instead of just following Master Zan? I get wanting to leave the Order at some point, but it doesn't have to be right out of the fucking gate. This update alone has already said it repeatedly: Be. Patient. Running off with Dooku at the first opportunity? That's not even remotely patient.

As for asking him to stay, what the fuck could Initiate Skywalker, someone who currently knows fuck-all about anything (and isn't even recognized as the Chosen One), possibly say to convince Master Dooku, someone who's student was just murdered, to change his mind? What right do we have to say anything here? Sometimes you've just gotta let things lie as they are and respect people's decisions. If we try and fail to convince him to stay, we might just be alienating him and souring any potential future interactions.

I'd much rather just wish him luck on his endeavors and part on good(ish) terms. Especially when the alternatives are abandoning everything again (and so soon after the last time), or banking on a Nat 20 to social-fu someone who is far older and wiser than us with plenty of justification behind his decision.

The DC for both those options is fair high. Possible but high

Yoda
[X] [Failure] Confused: That's the complete opposite from what Master Zan taught you. You've used your emotions all the time for years in your training and it didn't make you torture small animals or something. And now Master Yoda tells you Master Zan's teachings are wrong? You don't get it.

Dooku

Sith

Dreams
[X] [Dreams] Stomped off angrily. Your family could be in trouble.

Dark Jedi Path Time!

Don't rehash cannon again, please I can only take so much disappointment. All these alternative paths look so appealing compared to the beaten path.

The Jedi Lords didn't cause strife, so much as strife necessitated their existence. The New Sith Wars went on so long, and were so horrific in scope, that the Republic as a whole was unable to actually perform its duties. The Jedi lords came to be because the Jedi were there. They were the people on the spot, the ones who were able to actually help the people of the galaxy, when the Republic wasn't.

The Jedi Lords were no less Jedi for taking up the duties of governance. They did the best they could, and strove to listen to the wisdom of the Force to aide in their responsibilities. They even trained at the Temple at Coruscant, as Lord Hoth did.

The Jedi Lords ceased to be a thing because the lion's share of them died at the last battle of Ruusan, along with 99% of the Sith. The Coruscanti Jedi were the majority of the survivors, largely because they were choosing not to be aggressive and engage the Sith who were ravaging the Galaxy, despite the Brotherhood of Darkness, the newly unified Sith organization that had ratcheted up the violence and horror dramatically, being led by one of their own who had fallen, Skere Kaan. Hell, Kaan was literally trained by them to be their great hope of defeating the Sith, and when they heard he was going around subjugating Sith worlds, they sent congratulations, thinking he was still a Jedi. They then failed to take any responsibility for him as far as we know, and Hoth and the Jedi Lords had to deal with the Brotherhood.

You're in luck. There's no way Obi-Wan can be Anakin's Master this time around, as he's currently small dust particles polluting Naboo's air. Or Coruscant's. That part wasn't terribly clear in the original film. Either way, unless Anakin goes way way Sixth Sense and sees dead people, someone else is going to show him the ways of the Force.

[X] [Failure] Frustrated: What were you supposed to do? The old gremlin hadn't offered any instruction!
 
In these sense of balance, it's just incredibly difficult imo for a young and raw Force adept, especially one of Anakin's background and sheer power / influence on the galactic timeline, to constantly swing back and forth on the fringes of the center part of the light / dark spectrum. So, in that sense, is it better to start leaning light and learn the dark on the side / later, or the other way around? The Jedi Order are (for the most part) probably the more dominant sect at the moment; it is Anakin's dream to become a Jedi Knight; he has emotional ties to the Jedi, whether sprouting ones in his clanmates / Siri / other masters or the memory of Obiwan + Qui-Gon.

I'm not radically opposed to joining Dooku or other plans, honestly. I think regardless the quest will be interesting, fun, and engaging. But this is hardly going to be our only opportunity to delve into other aspects of the galaxy, and I'm sure the GM will make the Jedi experience itself be far more than some rote "here we go again."

At the end of the day, I think Anakin has chosen this path for the moment and is in the process of forming the bonds and memories / development that will make it worthwhile, and leaving it all now is much too abrupt.

As for canon-retreading, butterfly + the constant availability of other options make it clear that canon is not where this quest is going, irrespective of superficial similarities. Though I admit it's probably part of the rationale for some players.
 
So after looking at focus character sheet and the possable perks why not join him? We can pick the chancellor ambition and net some exp and chosen points if we become his successor. He has the recourses to train us in other skills besides lightsaber combat, his goal directly works with our ambition of killing maul, and it would be fun to see what happens next. Also he can still train us in all the Jedi ways we want as he has not fallen to the sith.

Literally so many options we didn't even have to be a jedi yet, we picked the same old cannon path in a game that was supposed to be different. And the only major difference happened not because of your choices but by chance.

Whine, whine, whine.
This is about the ninth or tenth iteration of you whining about how things didn't go how you wanted and it's getting tiresome.
We get it. Go make your own quest if you're not happy with how the voter base is taking this one. If you don't want people going Jedi, I would suggest not making the Force a phenomenal cosmic power (or otherwise accord the Jedi an itty-bitty moral/ethical living space).
Voting to stay with the Jedi is a vote of confidence in the QM's ability to make Jedi!Quest!Anakin interesting and different from Canon!Anakin.

You can make you point without having to be condescending and lavishing praise on your option. I can understand why you like it, your opinions are not falling on deaf ears. Also won't it make more sense that voting for a option that goes of track shows our faith in the GM's ability to create and add to the awesomeness that is Star Wars.

If you read the OP or look at the people who have been rating my posts you might see that this GM was actually quite eager to take Anakin and this game in new and creative directions. Not that I'm complaining about Arthellion's ability, I have only been voting for the last two or three updates after stumbling upon this thread. But, there is potential here for so much more. We could tread upon the parts of space that have never been touched by the movies. Where we are forced to make harder decisions than what classes to take and which masters to train with. This game is a sandbox where the limits are our imaginations and the boldness of this player base. From an OOC point of view it is disappointing that this player base is so cautious and so eager to stick to canon. What is even worse though is that many of the decisions made so far seem to have been made from OOC factors. Many decisions were meta and very few people have been role-playing Anakin. That's something I can't understand....as a forum gamer. I don't think I've been whining so much as I've been trying to argue my point of view.
