SWTOR Headcanon: The fate of Leontyne Saresh

The failure of Leontyne Saresh to usurp the Outlander as Commander of the Eternal Alliance is one of the most talked about moments during "Knights of the Eternal Throne". Many if not most players thoroughly enjoy her downfall, and I've seen more than a few just "take her out" even if their characters were not particularly dark-side.

My main OC in the Halcyon Legacy is Corellan Halcyon. To those who aren't familiar, he's… a bit of a goody two-shoes. Former Jedi Knight. I literally only have two dark-side choices on my playthrough.

So killing Saresh wasn't a real option for him, tempting as it was.

But what happens to her?

In my headcanon, she is given a (very) secure prison cell on the lowest level of the Alliance base, with security measures designed by Lana Beniko and Theron Shan keeping her under lock and key.

The (current) Supreme Chancellor and (most of) the Galactic Senate want nothing to do with Saresh. And they recognize the necessity of maintaining relations with the Eternal Alliance. BUT - politically, they need to keep Saresh's old supporters in line. There are too many of them, and if the Senate didn't try to free her, at best, they would force a constitutional crisis. At worst, they could spark a violent uprising.

So once a year, the Senate of the Galactic Republic formally requests that Saresh be released, all while privately imploring the Alliance to keep her locked up.

It got to the point where - during negotiations on a formal treaty - Lana Beniko threatened her counterpart with releasing Saresh. The diplomat quickly caved to her terms.

Meanwhile, Saresh is still locked up.

Eventually, she gets a next door neighbor in Syndic Zenta, the Chiss head of House Inrokini from "A Traitor Among the Chiss".

More on that another time.

random ramblings about kotet (spoilers for kotet and i guess Agent)

Vaylin's lack of redemption in kotet was weird because it felt kinda fence-sitting, if that makes sense. Like, "yeah it was messed up but she kinda deserved it so lets go fight some mandalorians to take our minds off it"

A lot of people (myself included) wanted a full and proper redemption for Vaylin, but part of me wonders what kotet would have been like if they made it even more messed up. If they really made it a true tragedy that we 'have' to kill Vaylin.

What if Vaylin was just a legitimately good ruler whose only crime was that she wanted to kill Valkorion, who just happened to be in your head. What if there was no grand destiny or grave injustice to face, and we were only fighting Vaylin because it was a 'Us or Them' situation that Valkorion forced us into. What if she was just someone that was very easy to regret killing instead of Bioware trying to justify her death at every turn.

Regret is something swtor very rarely dabbles in, and it's very easy for it to just come across as the developers making fun of us for playing their game. But they already kinda did this pretty well in the Agent class story.

y'know how during the Darth Jadus confrontation, it's almost meta in how it pokes at both yours and your character's egos to make you into playing your hand. Most players are forced to do something truly awful because they weren't able manipulate Jadus to get the 'best' ending. You literally fail at playing the role of the Agent. (this is why the Jadus confrontation is best RPG moment ever but that's not my point)

What if kotet was like that? What if there was a way to redeem Vaylin, but it was genuinely difficult to do without a guide because Valkorion actually manipulates you instead of just telling us Vaylin is bad. What if killing Vaylin was given the horrific weight of tragedy it always should have had?

idk I'm not a writer and this would be very hard to do without sounding pretentious, but would've been interesting at least.

Imagine the chaos that'd ensue if Starkiller & Vaylin fell in love.

Thexan and Arcaan deserved so much better I’m just saying.

Playing TeTK quest again with my jedi. I'm trying to keep track of Torian's Quote. Sorry for the french version.

Picture 1 : Thanks Ner vod, I wanted to thank you for letting me stay with you. I'll do you and Mand'alor honor. Things are different here. I didn't expect that. I just move in and already have supporters. We call them "cyar'tomade" in mando'a, a loving team. I never see that in clans. What Khomo did was unique. Your people love my hair. I don't know what to think about that. What I mean is, we all need a brother in arms. I'll stand at your sides. Let's send The Eternal Throne pack its bags !

Picture 2 : Stay all together ! Fight like as one !

Picture 3 : Alliance don't bow !

Picture 4 : I'll be fine ! We meet at the other side, Commander !

I just finished KOTET so here are my thoughts:

The story was really good! I think the shorter story (in terms of chapter number) helped a lot. KOTFE was good but started to drag in the middle, and toward the end. KOTET had decent pace throughout.

Fuck the walker segments.

Also, fuck BioWare for making me fight Vaylin TWICE, and the second time, w Arcann, she was at her full max health. Arcann had ~220,000 health in that fight. Vaylin still had 1.3 MILLION. Absolutely absurd. It took me like, 4 tries in the her and Arcann fight. Eventually I just stood w my back to a wall so she couldn't throw me around as much, and that worked, but by god, it was a drag. If they had knocked her health down a little -- even to like, 750k -- it would've been better.

The final Valkorion battle was a lot more fun, thank god. I liked the force-switching, even though I wish it had more abilities on the hotbar, or a few more interesting ones.

I chose to save Torian, btw. I love Vette so much, but I figured than in lore, Thali would choose Torian bc he's a Mandalorian, and the Alliance couldn't afford to lose the support of the Manda'lor herself. It was a quick decision, it was made with the galaxy's best interests at heart, but Thali is torn up with guilt over Vette dying.
