WAIT, WHAT'S THIS?
In 2007, a KOTOR Modder (Yeah, a modding community for these games does exist) named Silveredge9 released a mod, Brotherhood of Shadow, a modification for the first Knights of the Old Republic game, adding a load of new content, a whole new questline, to the main game.
In 2009, Silveredge released the sequel, Brotherhood of Shadow: Solomon's Revenge. Not only was this a sequel, also included was the first mod, completely revamped with new textures, better writing and of course a changed ending so that it ties into the sequel.

Here's the Filefront review if anyone is interested.

I'm going to play through this mod, from start to finish. It is actually a great mod, and nowadays it would probably be DLC-worthy as the amount of content and the quality of the said content is amazing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ACT I - BROTHERHOOD OF SHADOW

01 - Favor for a Rodian (this post)
02 - I have a bad feeling about this...
03 - Fade to Black
04 - A vessel of flesh
05 - We have a ghost problem...
06 - They called me Revan, Darth Revan
07 - Prepare for rehabilitation
08 - An appointment with the airlock


ACT II - SOLOMON'S REVENGE
09 - A familiair voice...
10 - Darius Solomon
11 - Punch the waiter, get me a drink

____________________________

Allright, let's get started!


01 - Favor for a Rodian
swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-40-58-71.jpg

We start off in Dreshdae, Korriban, for now, I've taken HK-47 and Canderous (they're the least wimpy of the bunch)


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-41-59-60.jpg

To start the mod, you need to get to the cantina, get close enough to this Rodian NPC and you'll trigger his dialouge.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-42-25-71.jpg


PO_Rodian.png
I am in need of your help. I'm currently in a buisiness negotiation wi...
PO_Codexer.png
I am not here to run errands for you, Rodian.
PO_Rodian.png
...With an organisation called the Exchange. I'm sure you've heard of them, yes?
PO_Codexer.png
Smugglers, murderers, mercenaries... the Exchange are scum.
PO_Rodian.png
Yes, that is the Exchange I know.
PO_Rodian.png
I was scheduled to represent the Orion in a meeting with one of the Exchange newest and most ruthless members, Daemon Drexl. A man who himself was once the Orion's captain.
PO_Rodian.png
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the delivery of a certain "merchandise" that Daemon Drexl - whilst as captain - had promised to deliver to his allies in the Exchange as a token of his gratitude. The Orion's new captian has now decided that it would no longer be appropriate of us to deliver that "merchandise".

Oh... sounds like nothing could go wrong at all...

Well we're not stupid


PO_Codexer.png
What exactly is this "merchandise"?
PO_Rodian.png
The "merchandise" is an item of great importance. Beyond that, I cannot say more.

:nocountryforshitposters:

PO_Codexer.png
Why do you need me?
PO_Rodian.png
Daemon Drexl fully expects that we will conform to his demands and relinquish to him the "merchandise". When he learns that we have decided against that, he will not be pleased. This is why we need someone to take my place and weather the consequences of his anger. Someone like you.

So what he 'really' needs is someone to play as his meat shield and take all the blame... Just fucking great.

PO_Codexer.png
Where will this meeting take place?

Instead of asking why in the name of the seven kingdoms we would allow ourselves to be used like that and display some sense of self preservation, instead we opt for determined curiousity... (Just like in most RPGs)

PO_Rodian.png
The meeting was arranged to take place on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. There you will be safe from the prying eyes of the Republic, or the Sith.

Didn't Obi-Wan call Tatooine a wretched hive of scum and villainy?
Oh well... adventure awaits!


PO_Codexer.png
I don't work for free, Rodian.
PO_Rodian.png
Yes, a reward will await you on your return. Thank you for your help Codexer.

Now all we need to do is get to Tato-

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-45-52-09.jpg

Oh for fuck's sake :x I forgot about the crappy X-Wing type shooting sequence, which pops up when you're traveling between planets. It doesn't always trigger, but when it does you never really expected (or wanted) it. What's so stupid about this miningame is that the fighters are very hard to hit, and only when they come at you from a certain direction/angle can you score a hit.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-45-54-48.jpg

Pfew, last of em...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-48-07-55.jpg

Anyway, here we are on Tatooine. It doesn't take to long to find Drexl, who is surrounded by his goons and droids. What could possibly go wrong?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-48-13-38.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-48-25-40.jpg

I think it's a nice touch Silveredge9 didn't think about just writing a great story addon for KOTOR. He also managed to include some roleplaying options, these aren't neccesarily dark vs. light, more of playing a different 'attitude'.

PO_Drexl.png
How do you know that name? Are you part of the surveillance team?
PO_Codexer.png
I am here on behalf of the Rodian Drix Keliwt. I am attending this meeting in his place.
PO_Drexl.png
I had known that the Rodian was a fool, but not that he was also a coward. It seems his new captain has become soft on his crew and weakness has formed where there was once strength.

Well it's not your ship anymore Drexl, sod off.

PO_Codexer.png
He has his reasons, I assure you.
PO_Drexl.png
Then this topic is no longer worthy of our discussion. Shall we move onto more pressing matters?
PO_Drexl.png
I assume that the Rodian has informed you of the situation? He is to relinquish to me the item of great importance that I was schedulded to deliver to an associate of mine whilst I was still the Orion's captain. It is a simple transaction, nothing more.

PO_Codexer.png
I am well aware of the details.
PO_Drexl.png
Then our buisness is now concluded. The Orion will deliver the "merchandise" to the agreed location, and I will deposit a generous sum of credits into one of the Orion's Nar Shaddaa bank accounts.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-24-32.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-29-41.jpg

What is the deal with this damn "merchandise" anyway?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-39-40.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-44-20.jpg

Wow, the 2nd option is just too good not to pick :smug:

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-45-99.jpg

Uhm... wait what?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-49-53-31.jpg

Luckily the fight isn't too hard. Drexl has a blaster by default, but will switch to melee if we get in close. He has two droids backing him up, as well as 6 goons who Canderous and HK are dealing with.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-50-08-22.jpg

It certainly helps my character is a level 19 Jedi and he's horribly overpowered at this point. Force storm can take care of pretty much anything.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-50-25-04.jpg

I wonder what gave me away? My lightsabers? My force storm? Or the fact I was wearing Jedi robes and waving my sabers around the whole time...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-50-33-55.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-50-41-70.jpg

And he runs away like a little baby.. Just look at him run, that is the sight of someone who has completely given up.

Oh well.. at least nobody died.

Ecxept for a few thugs and a few droids

Oh and Drexl wasn't too happy. Let's tell Drix

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-52-37-58.jpg

:x

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-54-30-17.jpg


PO_Codexer.png
As you requested, I have met with Daemon Drexl.
PO_Rodian.png
You have? What happened?
PO_Codexer.png
We spoke, we fought, and I emerged victorious.
PO_Rodian.png
Then the meeting has turned out as I had feared. I was right to seek your help.
PO_Rodian.png
What has happened to Daemon Drexl? You have killed him, yes?
PO_Codexer.png
Daemon Drexl still lives. He escaped.
PO_Rodian.png
Even in defeat Daemon Drexl will not give up. He will still devote his efforts and the entirety of his resources to claiming this "merchandise" for himself. He was always stubborn... even as captain.
PO_Codexer.png
That isn't my problem, I have fulfilled my part of the bargain.
PO_Rodian.png
Here is the reward as promised.
PO_Rodian.png
Again I thank you for your help Codexer. I see now it was wise to enlist you.
PO_Rodian.png
Which is why I must as of you another favor. In your absence I discussed the situation with my cap'n and he is very interested in enlisting your aid for what is now a very important venture.
PO_Rodian.png
It is too dangerous for me to linger here. You must visit the Anchorhead cantina on the planet of Tatooine and seek out a Bith named Ponda H'tiba. He will tell you everything.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-55-39-76.jpg

Here's where you get the chance to stop the questline. It makes sense, seeing how Drix put us in danger because he's such a coward. To continue with the mod we have to 'consider' (read accept) his offer.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-55-42-76.jpg

Well if you stress it that much, he's gotta be important...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-55-50-99.jpg


Anyway, one quick trip to Tatooine (luckily no fighters this time)

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-58-24-91.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-58-29-72.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-58-40-98.jpg

Please, all you need is two lightsabers upgraded to the max, force storm and a very exploitable game engine.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2011-58-46-50.jpg

02 - I have a bad feeling about this...
swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-00-16-92.jpg

Last time we left Codexer, our hero, he boarded the trader Ship Orion, after cutting down a few Exchange thugs and saving a damnsel in distress blasting through a few sith fighters.

PO_Codexer.png
It was my pleasure.
PO_Rodian.png
I'm sure you've found your quarters adequate for what has already been a long journey. For the moment it seems, luck is on our side. The Exchange is nowhere to be found.
PO_Codexer.png
I have some questions.
PO_Rodian.png
I'm sure you do, but I am not the one to answer them. Speak with the Cap'n. He will answer any questions you have, yes?
PO_Codexer.png
Ok, I will be going now.
PO_Rodian.png
Very well, I will be on the bridge with the Cap'n. You should speak with him.

Music

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-12-30-13.jpg

It's really obvious the Orion is a retextured Endar Spire module, though the ship doesn't spin around like we have motion sickness, and there are no Sith fighters flying about.

Hey you know what we should do, alone on this ship with no one to stop us?

Let's fuck shit up.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-12-51-53.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-12-58-80.jpg


PO_Codexer.png
What?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-03-69.jpg

This conversation is so... enlightening....

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-07-71.jpg

The droid then proceeds to blow up in our face, whoops.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-11-96.jpg

Uh-oh, seems the ship's mechanic isn't too happy about it.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-14-23.jpg

Hey it's just one astromech droid, he was probably running on Windows XP anyway...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-20-40.jpg

Bitch yo don't wanna see me get ma saber groove on yo...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-13-24-19.jpg

Damn, that trick ussually works in most RPGs

PO_Codexer.png
I'll be going.
PO_Mechanic.png
Just don't touch anything anywhere, Murglak.

What's this guy's problem.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-14-06-41.jpg

The Orion's packed with NPCs crewmembers but also some droids. All have something (wierd) to say...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-14-29-32.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-14-48-64.jpg

There are also some metal boxes which contain some supplies, nothing really fancy though.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-14-54-71.jpg

We are then greeted by this 'humble mandalorian'. Huh, that's two words I'd thought I'd never have to use in the same sentence.

PO_Codexer.png
"Humble Mandalorian?"

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-05-69.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-11-74.jpg

:smug:

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-18-25.jpg


PO_Codexer.png
You were raised on Coruscant?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-31-87.jpg

I can't really picture a whealthy Coruscant family taking in a Mandalorian kid, especially during the Mandalorian Wars. But hey, it's not my fan fiction mod.

PO_Codexer.png
Then why aren't you still on Coruscant?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-38-96.jpg


PO_Codexer.png
I'll be gonig now.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-46-80.jpg

Wow, he's so polite.

He's going to die first, I just know it...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-15-56-44.jpg

Some crew members are dueling in one of the Orion's corridors, too bad you can't join them in some kind of battle circle-ish questline. That would've been fun.

As we get closer to the bridge, we meet this crazy fella.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-20-71.jpg

No I don't want to play fucking Pazaak.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-24-08.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-25-51.jpg

To answer your question, yes, you can play against him, but I seriously doubt he's any good considering the mental state he's in

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-28-40.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-29-44.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-37-50.jpg

Ah malfunctioning astromech droids, I am sure Codexer know how to fix em by now.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-42-13.jpg

:smug:

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-43-73.jpg

That's the lady in the red suit talking to us, let's hear if she wants to play Pazaak has anything interesting to say.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-53-34.jpg

She stares at us for a few seconds, confused.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-17-58-72.jpg


PO_Codexer.png
We have never met, yet you look surprised to see me?
PO_SerDeg.png
I... forgive me, it wasn't my intention to make you feel uncomfortable. I... I just haven't spoken with a... Jedi before.

Hmm... something fishy is going on here.

PO_Codexer.png
What do you do here?

PO_SerDeg.png
I am the Orion's merchant, and am responsible for distributing supplies amongst the ship's crew members. Also, when the Orion docks, I trade with the locals. After buying and selling our merchandise, I ussually acquire enough credits to purchase enough food and medicine to last for the next journey.

PO_Codexer.png
I'll be going now.

PO_SerDeg.png
Of course, I... do not wish to distract you from what must be important buisness. Farewell... for now.

Hmmm... She's definately hiding something. I think we'll figure it out later.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-18-57-99.jpg

We've learned Drexl was the former captain of this ship, but he didn't hear much about this Kobayashi guy... interesting.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-20-18-64.jpg

Oh hey, it's the alien who doesn't trust us...

Let's talk to him.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-20-21-65.jpg

PO_Codexer.png
Can I ask you some questions?
PO_Capn.png
If it is information you seek, then it is information you will get. What do you want to know?

Let's chat about the crew first. We've already come across some colorfoul characters...

PO_Codexer.png
Tell me about the Orion's Crew.
PO_Capn.png
I'm sure you are already very familair with some of the Orion's crew.
PO_Codexer.png
Tell me about the Orion's mechanic.

Yeah we didn't exactly have a smooth first meeting.

PO_Capn.png
He is an unusual character, but a dependable one. Our mechanic was one of the first besides myself and the then captain Daemon Drexl to crew aboard the Orion.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-01-08.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-10-03.jpg

There's some more option's here, but I'll only cover the NPCs we've met so far.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-12-34.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-21-72.jpg

Again, mention of this Kobayashi and it seems to ship's crew had it's fair share of adventures, even an encounter with republic forces.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-33-11.jpg

Walon Vau is the 'humble Mandalorian' we talked to earlier.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-22-37-69.jpg

Allright enough info dumps for now, it is time to get some answers...

PO_Codexer.png
What is this "merchandise"?
PO_Capn.png
Whilst Daemon Drexl was still captain, he was schedulded to deliver what he called an item of great significance to his Exchange contacts on Nar Shaddaa. Later, when he had left the Orion, he contacted us and requested that we deliver this "Merchandise" to him.
PO_Capn.png
At first I agreed, but now that I have discovered the truth behind the "merchandise", it would be grossly irresponsible of me to deliver such an item into the Exchange's hands.

Whatever his reasons, it must be some pretty important "merchandise" to blow off a reasonable deal like that.

PO_Capn.png
I'm afraid I cannot reveal its secrets to you at this time. It's nothing personal I assure you.

Well that's just great... doesn't make you sound suspicious at all man.

PO_Codexer.png
I'll be going now.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-23-28-55.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-25-16-99.jpg

As we approach our quarters, we hear the mechanic speaking to someone... ominous...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-25-28-31.jpg

Why hello there.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-25-32-56.jpg

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for this guy, it cannot be easy being a mechanic in a galaxy where people fight each other with glowing sticks over different religious beliefs.

PO_Codexer.png
It must be a difficult job.

Is the twist that the Jedi is the merchandise? Too obvious, doubt it. Besides that was in KotOR2 anyway, and it wasn't a twist.

Even though I was exiled from the Orion, its crew are still mindfull of the lessons I had thaught them. Deception - which applied correctly - can be a useful tool of manipulation. If only you knew the truth behind the "merchandise" Jedi.

Well I guess their intentions are good. The end justifies the means here I guess.

However, the choice here is more grey here than I am making it out to be. A dark side character has plenty of reasons to kill this whole bunch of wimpy cowards. First, they lied to us. Second, a dark side character might want to take the artifact for themselves...

Never bring a blaster to a lightsaber fight, especially if your opponent is a Force user.

The Exchange soldiers don't really hit that hard, but their use of energy shields makes our deflection ability a lot less usefull...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2013-32-38-84.jpg

Drexl has two bodyguards. Although he hits hard, his two bodyguards can take you down quickly if you're careless, so we use force storm spam to take care of his guards.

There, with them gone, you can focus all your energy on Drexl.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2013-33-27-20.jpg

Drexl manages to be a tough oponent, thanks to his lightsaber and his stats. His hitpoints are high, as is his vitality.

We manage to kick his ass though.

Ok, now would be a good time to talk about the atmosphere in this part. It is amazingly well done, I think of it as Peragus II done right. There is no music, the only sounds are creepy shrieks and echo's coming from all across the Orion, and no explanation is given to what the hell happened to everyone. First time I played this, I was actually really on my nerves the whole time.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2013-38-08-30.jpg

One Thing that made Peragus II kind of weak was the shitload of Mining Droids that popped up around every corner.
To quote Scorchy:
It's suppose to be very low key, tense, and creepy; if they tuned down the lighting a bit and had flickering lights or something, it would have been perfect. And in fact, the more enemies you see, the less creepy and effective the level design becomes.

This is why here it works, there are a lot of quiet, creepy moments and enemies only pop up when the plot requires them to.

What reasons?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-54-20-68.jpg

Funny, my friend studying engineering said the same thing last week...

PO_Mechanic.png
My job was to gain acces to the storage room so Cap'n Drexl could do what he needed to do with this ancient artifact here. He said nobody would be hurt.
PO_Mechanic.png
He was in a pretty good mood when he arrived here. After boasting a little, he touched the artifact, said something strange and then poof! It opened.

The stupid jackass...

PO_Mechanic.png
Though he must have forgotten something important, as the only thing which came from the artifact was a bolt of energy that hit him square in the chest. He then collapsed, and hasn't moved an inch ever since.

Well... good riddance if I might say so.

PO_Mechanic.png
What followed was even worse. I heard screams from all around the Orion. So being the smart Duros I am, I figured I'd just lock the Storage Room door and keep myself from becoming all corpse-like.

Well at least he's helpfull, I give him that...

These guys creeped the hell out of me first time I played this mod, they're kind of one-dimensional force ghost villains, but they're that Disney villain special kind of one-dimensional.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-58-11-40.jpg

Well I guess we can erase his name from our 'list' then.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-58-17-85.jpg

So long story short: These "Shadows" were trapped eons ago in their "Shadow's Bane" and were released by Daemon Drexl. They are only ghosts though and they consumed the people on the Orion to materialise in our world. To permanently sustain their existence however, they need a vessel of flesh, one that is strong enough to hold their energies.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-59-06-53.jpg

He attacks us from behind, the fucker...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-59-21-76.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2020-59-53-27.jpg

He isn't that tough however, so plan your attacks wisely and he should go down in a few turns.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-00-06-34.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-00-12-36.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-00-16-30.jpg

Oh hell no... My body is my own Sith spirit.

Yeah, Star Wars fanboys should already have come to the conclusion that this is obviously an ancient Sith spirit. The red skin, the power in the force. What we do not know is how these Sith were trapped in what they call the Shadow's Bane...

And he vanishes yet again. This guy is a few fries short of a happy meal.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-02-26-14.jpg

The Orion's corridors are empty, save for this astro droid.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-02-30-75.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-02-36-05.jpg

Interesting. Upon playing the logs, we recognize the voice as the one belonging to that female Twi'lek merchant.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-02-43-65.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-02-53-00.jpg

Wait... that chick was a Sith... or a Jedi?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-03-02-46.jpg

Well I guess she's a Sith then...

Interesting

The 3rd and final audio log...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-04-02-01.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-04-47-59.jpg

So she knew Revan.... remember her first reaction upon seeing us?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2012-18-09-38.jpg

She lied. She knew who we were, the whole time...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-05-15-64.jpg

Just for that we're gonna steal all her Mandalorian Wars robes.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-05-26-57.jpg

Blue looks better on us anyway...

Hmmm let me think about it....

No.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-06-08-71.jpg

And he vanishes yet again... goddammit.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-07-02-42.jpg

Opening this door.. We see the Twi'lek merchant running away from us...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-07-21-02.jpg

Following her, all we find is this discarded backpack.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-07-26-29.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-08-40-86.jpg

This is a nice little twist right here. You're expecting the female Twi'lek to answer, instead we hear a male Mandalorian voice coming from the other side...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-08-43-39.jpg

Looks like he's gone crazy too...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-08-50-94.jpg

Aw fuck.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-08-56-96.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-11-08-27.jpg

He then attacks us. His saves are actually pretty good, so our force powers don't always work, and his attacks sometimes chip away a fair amount of health.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-11-18-35.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-11-29-30.jpg

We loot the corpse for some nice Mandalorian armour. But that strange Twi'lek chick we saw earlier is nowhere to be seen, only an astro droid... strange....

Well, compared to Bioware anyway...

05 - We have a ghost problem...
swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-06-06.jpg

So last time we got gassed by Daemon Drexl, and after waking up, realised he had foolishly unleashed the dark powers of the artifact...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-08-63.jpg

All that is left in this room is this stupid droid...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-22-29.jpg

We backtrack a little bit to find the console the mechanic mentioned earlier.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-28-20.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-33-89.jpg

Goddammit, I thought maybe we could go the easy route for once...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-12-41-40.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-13-50-84.jpg

So the droids hold the code keys for the storage room door to unlock?

That's stupid, but clever

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-08-74.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-10-83.jpg

There and we'll just be on ou-

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-14-18.jpg

Oh you GOT to be kidding me..

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-18-16.jpg

Codexer has had enough of this shit, he kicks the droid and it goes EXPLODEY... I guess all of these droids would have died horrible deaths anyway..

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-39-75.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-14-41-62.jpg

Unfortunately, we still got 2 more code keys to find.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-15-03-71.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-15-08-19.jpg

All the droids on this ship are huge assholes, why they don't want to give the codes, even if you explain the situation, is beyond me.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-15-10-58.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-16-17-11.jpg

After inserting the 2nd code key, we get smart and destroy the third droid right away... he never saw it coming.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-16-44-00.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-16-50-06.jpg

That did it!

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-17-14-87.jpg

This is such a joyfull moment! We haven't heard from the Brotherhood of Shadow for a while though... maybe they forgot about us?

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-17-20-53.jpg


swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-17-27-20.jpg

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-18-38-90.jpg

So now the ghosts try to bum rush us... Goddammit, it's the Star Forge all over again...

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-18-45-92.jpg

Luckily these guys don't hit that hard, but 3 or 4 of them at once can get kind of tricky.

One brother of shadow just remains stationary, due to horrible pathfinding.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-27-26-71.jpg

We take advantage of this and whoop his ass with a Thermal Detonator.

swkotor%202013-06-23%2021-28-06-05.jpg

Pfew, last one...

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-08-56.jpg

Watch it Duros...

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-17-88.jpg

Sometimes, the dialouge in this game sums up my thoughts perfectly...

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-20-80.jpg

Goddammit game, why do you make me empathise with this lowlife?

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-25-95.jpg

Well we could use the escape pod to pod off to.. somewhere

Though I guess that still leaves the ship full of angry Sith Spirits...

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-34-31.jpg

:troll: Anti-reference brigade on standby...

Wait... We're going to take a look at it?

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-48-48-92.jpg

Sure, last time someone looked at it the said person collapsed and Sith spirits killed everyone aboard...

What could go wrong?

Hmmm yea, had not thought about that yet....

PO_Mechanic.png
The Orion is set to autopilot mode. It should take us all the way to the Arroyo system. Nice place, can't wait to get there myself.
PO_Codexer.png
If something should happen to me, I want you to pilot the Orion into the nearest black hole. We can't take any choices.
PO_Mechanic.png
I'm fine with the flyin', but not with the dyin'. The galaxy needs people like me.

Oh yeah, people who can do nothing but whine and repair droids who are going to explode anyway...

PO_Codexer.png
I noticed an escape pod in the Starboard section. You should be able to use that to escape.

Why not flush the artifact out the airlock? Just sayin'

swkotor%202013-06-24%2016-53-29-09.jpg

We manage to take him down eventually, but he unleashed a powerfull force wave and heals himself...

And he vanishes, leaving us here... trapped like animals in a cage...

PO_Codexer.png
This place, I've never seen anything like it. What is it?
PO_Shadow.png
This is the Shadow's Bane. It is a timeless world of torment wrought by an empire of old. It's nature is imprisonment... it denies the influential the means to spread their influence; claiming from them that which they cherish the most. Purpose.
PO_Codexer.png
How did you get here? Where are you originally from?
PO_Shadow.png
Any memories of our flesh and blood existence have long since been destroyed by a millennia's worth of torment. We can remember only one thing...
PO_Shadow.png
We are the Brotherhood of Shadow! We will claim a vessel of flesh and then reclaim our lost purpose!
PO_Codexer.png
What have you done to Daemon Drexl?
PO_Shadow.png
He is but another victim of the bane's torments, and does not possess the strength to maintain his sanity.
PO_Codexer.png
What do you hope to achieve? Does the slaughter of innocent people justify the result?
PO_Shadow.png
The Brotherhood of Shadow does that have purpose... yet. We have forgotten why we were cast into the Shadow's Bane; only knowing that we should feel a hatred towards those responsible. We seek flesh so that it will renew that lost knowledge, and grant us the purpose which will redefine our existence.
PO_Shadow.png
What is the flesh you ask? The flesh is who you are, yet it is who we are not. It is that which can exist unrestricted in the reality outside the Shadow's Bane.
PO_Shadow.png
We desire your body; to claim it as our vessel of flesh. Only then will we possess the means to rediscover the true purpose of the Brotherhood of Shadow.
PO_Codexer.png
This body is mine and mine alone.
PO_Shadow.png
You are free to delusion yourself, but it will not change the truth. When you became entrapped within the Shadow's Bane, your uninhabited flesh remained behind.
PO_Shadow.png
Though even *we* cannot simply claim that flesh, and must first defeat its native essence. Your essence.

This just keeps getting better and better...

PO_Codexer.png
How do I escape from this place?
PO_Shadow.png
Within the Shadow's Bane, escape as you understand cannot be achieved so easily. When this prison was opened, we were able to use the powers of our imposed supremacy to temporarily project ourselves into the fabric of true reality.
PO_Shadow.png
Yet our time there was limited; lasting only as long as we could nourish ourselves upon the energy of the living.
PO_Codexer.png
So if it is you - the Brotherhood of Shadow - who is in control here, wouldn't it be possible to bargain with you for my freedom?

Oh Codexer, if only things went that easy for once...

PO_Shadow.png
To reclaim your flesh and freedom, you must first defeat we - the Brotherhood of Shadow - in a battle of wills.
PO_Codexer.png
If it is a battle you want, then it is a battle you will get. No matter your power here, you will not defeat me.
PO_Shadow.png
You are eager to do battle, but you are still in truth a mystery to the Brotherhood of Shadow. We demand that you first reveal your secrets to us!

What? Seriously?

PO_Codexer.png
It seems I have no other choice. Learn what you will, then we finish this once and for all.
