The first was with Malak, though would you say the second was when she decided whether or not to kill Kreia? No, the one at the pass (Where the Republic was worried about losses) because my version of marai refused to accept her losses that time. Th... [Read More]

My rationale for the tomb, which Revan did not find, was that there is a balancing point in your life where you will either become evil or good. What you face is those decisions you made that could have gone either way, or perhaps, as with Marai's tw... [Read More]

WWI is a difficult war to lay the blame on. Was it the assassin's fault for killing the Archduke? Was it Austria-Hungary's fault for declaring war on Serbia? Was it Germany's fault for causing such resentment from the French in 1870? Or was it the Se... [Read More]

Given how by that year the Nazis had overrun most of Europe, it's quite understandable to want to eradicate any means of them doing it again. Each generation had started a war that threatened world peace, and they'd attacked France for the third time... [Read More]
