The Dark Path
Apr. 7th, 2013 06:22 pmIn today’s episode of “Hilarious Old Republic Morality”:
There’s a mission to infiltrate an Imperial fortress. There’s two options, a frontal assault or sneaking in through the sewers. You and your companion do one, and a squad of Republic soldiers does the other.
Choosing to sneak through the sewers gives you Dark Side points.
Because that makes sense, right? “Did you hear about that special forces operative who snuck into an enemy fortress while the army staged a diversionary attack? What a jerk! A real hero would have run a diversionary attack by himself and let the regular army do the sneak attack! Sensible tactics are a sign of moral corruption!”
Even more hilarious if you’re playing a smuggler – in other words, a civilian who’s chosen to volunteer to help the Republic army of their own initiative. Nope, sorry buddy, you’re not volunteering to risk your life enough, you’re a bad guy now!
