      I despised Atton as a 12 year old playing this a long time ago in a town far far away playing this for the first time so I neglected him. I don't think I ever got him to be a jedi and I never got anything interesting out of him dialogue-wise. I remember him being cagey about where he learned how to fight and I kept trying to keep him and Kreia from killing eachother and that's it. I far preferred other party members, even the little boopity astromech droid just because he was cute and I liked using him to cruise around.

      @@DatScot I'd argue that anything the mod adds that feels incomplete or awkward is because the content that would make those scenes smooth was never created in the first place. The mod doesn't fully restore every scene. Some scenes were only ever partially-constructed in the first place. The mod isn't going to create new content out of thin air that will make the restored scene feel finished, which is part of the problem of cut content.

    Atton Rand, loyal and amazing soldier, master assassin, and a realistic person in the Star Wars lore. He was smart to change his name, and instead pick up a victims name. Kriea considered him a fool for choosing to hide his strength wisely, to avoid being expected to follow the Jedi or die like Revan ran off and no doubt did. He had so much potential.

The great galactic war, galactic war, Darth desolous's insurgence, the new sith Wars until ruusan campagn.

    • @100StarWars

      Oh definitely. What I mean is, that I think that Mandalorian War specifically is why the Jedi Councils of future wars choose to get involved. Not that The Clone War Jedi Council gets involved directly because of the KOTOR Jedi Council. I used TCW as a direct reference as it's the most commonly known :D

    Personally, I feel the cut content should be considered what really happened in the game. Lucas Arts rushing the game out seems like a crappy reason to not acknowledge the wrest of the story...but thats just me. Regardless, you make really good content and i enjoy it a lot. Keep up the good work

    • @100StarWars
      @100StarWars  Před 6 lety +6

      Thank you! I personally see it more along the lines of, if they did get the budget and time to finish it properly, how would the story have changed? Initially, every character's story was to be wrapped at the end of the game, rather than alluded to by Kreia. And the cut content doesn't necessarily represent what was going to happen, as a lot of it was placeholder content and unfinished content.
      There was a lot more planned for so many characters (I have spoken with Mr Avellone, the lead designer about this) and how there was to be so much more in general. So, I never truly really felt that the cut content (or the files found within the game) were representative of the true conclusions of any character. The Restored content mod, does a lot to fundamentally make the story and game better and more detailed, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it would've been how the 'true' final product looked like.
      It's like the movies, do you consider all of the deleted scenes canon to the story? I kind of see it the same way, sometimes maybe, sometimes not. I chose to keep it how the world knows it, rather than adding bits and pieces that may or may not have been in the known canonical story.
      Anyway, thank you for the kinds words, it means a lot!

But yeah you're right to leave it to how the world knows it. I am glad that you referenced the cut content though, it really deserves some light.

      100% Star Wars This is kinda off-topic of the original comment but I can't really add anything to this discussion. Because the ending of kotor 2 and the continuation of it are held pretty vague (originally) and are not at all finished, I think you have to interpret these and the cut scenes for yourself anyway.
      My original question was: you really did meet Chris Avellone and you talked about the game? I can't remember it being mentioned in any video. This is really interesting.
      Will you open up about the information he gave you concerning story, further scenes, etc. anytime? I'm sorry if you answered this somewhere already but I would really like to know❤

    I don't know why but I absolutely love Atton. Not only is he a total badass Jedi Hunter turned badass Jedi Sentinel and one of the founding members of the rebuilt Jedi Order, but his character arc is such a cool subversion on the typical "Scoundrel" trope. First you think he's just a Han Solo ripoff, but then you realize that entire schtick is just a ploy that he innately throws up so that he can hunt down Jedi more efficiently, to the point where he lost sight of his true personality in the process. Such a cool concept, God I wish they explored his character further, such a shame

      I can list the amount of characters that the MMO and the stupid Revan novel ruined.
      Revan:ruined his motivations and made him to have been brainwashed rather than he himself choosing to become a Sith Lord to save the Galaxy. Made him a madman and brought him to a pointless expansion taking advantage of the love people had(s) for KOTOR as a cashgrab. Everything mentioned in KOTOR 2(him being a brilliant tactician, a machiavellic mind that used an entire war ala Palpatine to create an army) was ignored. Instead, we got a fool that made as much problems as he solved.
      The Exile(I will not call him/her by the stupid name Drew Karpshyn gave): made him/her a woman that is pretty much a fangirl of Revan, completely ignoring the "wound in the force" plot or Kreia's teachings, aswell as the confidence and knowledge he/she gained through the entire quest of KOTOR 2 to be her/his own individual and a being at Revan's peer(as Kreia wanted to train one as great as Revan). And the character itself behaving nothing like it did in KOTOR 2(all choices included).
      Kreia: She mentioned a war of belief and shadows, of beings that could shape the entire galaxy at will. Instead, we got the Empire 2.0, aswell as a force ghost apparition that Bioware hinted it to be Kreia and who was nothing like her.
      Bastila: reduced to a woman that lives her life wondering where Revan is, getting old and sad, while KOTOR Bastila would have gone after him to know what happened.
      While Canderous remained badass in the novel, the Mandalorian assistance that was hinted at KOTOR 2 against the oncoming threat(similar to ME3)went nowhere and the Mandalorians are pretty much nothing on the war of TOR.
      Not a word of Atton nor any of the Exile's companions, even though they pretty much were the last Jedi since there were 20 or less Jedi by then(point that TOR seems to like forgetting)
      HK: reduced to bossfights(which absolutely 0% of fans wanted).
      Basically, KOTOR 2 hinted at amazing things(check Chris Avellone's "what would have KOTOR 3 been like" interview to see what I mean) that never came to be.

    Attons distrust of droids comes from the fact that one of the original members of his group was an assassin droid that was planted there by the Jedi. Atton noticed a year after the group was formed that the droid never actually killed any of the Jedi they had captured. Atton set it up to where the droid would have to kill a Jedi or be destroyed by the Jedi. The droid hesitated and was destroyed. Atton recovered the droids core and memory banks and found out the droid had been feeding the Jedi Order information about their Jedi hunting group and Reven. The female Jedi that recognized Atton as force sensitive was sent to encounter Atton by the Jedi councel as a way of swaying him towards the light. You can only see this part of the conversation if your play a male exile.

    • @100StarWars
      @100StarWars  Před 6 lety +11

      This question is a little hard to answer as it's a bit murky. I see it happening this way:
      The Ebon hawk was attacked in open space by a Sith Vessel, leading to the distress call that calls in the Harbinger (whether that was T3 or the Sith I don't know). It's likely that Kreia was already aboard the Harbinger at this point looking for the Exile. The Harbinger picks up the Ebon Hawk, and the stealthed Sith who were aboard the Hawk, slowly take over the Harbinger. When Sion awakes, a battle ensues, and a HK-50 droid drugs Meetra, and hides her on the Harbinger while he looks for an escape. It's at this point, that Kreia finds Meetra and takes her to the Hawk, saving her life (presumably creating the bond) but get's into a fight with the HK-50, and she is forced into locking him into the Cargo Hold. She then slips into the hibernation trance (plays dead) to trick the HK-50 droid when it gets out. T3 then repairs the Hawk slightly with another droid (3C-FD) and jumps to the closest place that he could, Peragus.
      I hope that helps a little.

    Isn't it implied that Bao Dur died helping HK47 reach the HK factory on Telos? Otherwise why isn't he on Malachor 5 with the rest of the crew? In particular his remote plays back a recorded message of him giving instructions to use the mass shadow generator to destroy the planet; if Bao Dur was able to help setup the new Jedi order then there would be no need as Bao Dur could have done the deed himself. So I don't get how he is able to help Atton and the rest of Surik's companions to set up a new Jedi order if he is never shown on the planet, nor shown travelling to the planet?

    • @100StarWars
      @100StarWars  Před 6 lety +17

      It's left vague intentionally, with no official confirmation. Even Kreia leaves his fate vague. However, one could assume he was simply left unconscious for a time on the Ebon Hawk (after all someone had to repair it when it crashed) and his remote was always programmed to reactivate the Mass Shadow generator, after all, why would he choose to kill himself in the process when he could trust his droid to do it? And then there's the fact he can be trained as a Jedi, and Meetra's companions were considered to be the 'Lost Jedi', leading one to assume he went on to be one of these lost Jedi in a way.
      A lot of the game was set up for a sequel sadly, and many things were left intentionally vague. So we'll never get a true definitive answer. It's very subjective, however, I think given the evidence, it's safe to say he survived and joined the Jedi order 😀

    Quite possibly the most layered character in the EU. Possibly more than Revan, himself.

    Do you think atton could in his jedi life become strong enough to kick trayas ass?

    • @100StarWars

      Not in the slightest.

      No way. She was hard to defeat even for the Exile, the strongest Jedi of the group, and Atton is essentially a padawan. Maybe if he ambushed her and gets very lucky. Mical and Mandalore are stronger than him as a fighter, and Mandalore had the balls to take on Nihilus. Traya could kill several Jedi masters with a wave of her hand.

      @@100StarWars I ment could you imagine that Atton could become strong enough in his later jedi career to mess with her/ beat her? Because he was a very important person for rebuilding the jedi order, so in my opinion and my imaginations he became much more powerful and Kreia said that too

      How? He responds positively to killing random people. You don't even have to try, just do your ordinary dark side things while he's there.
