SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Unreasonable morality? Surely that's genre emulation. :p
That\'s pretty much how post modernism works. Keep dismissing details until there is nothing left, and then declare that it meant nothing all along. --John Morrow

I would be ok with that so long as it was the RIGHT genre they were emulating ;)

As I said, I am running around using force lightning and life drain and force choke all the time and no one bats an eyelash.

When I gratuitously dominate the mind of some customs officer with the force, if there's a fellow Jedi in my party, they bitch at me for my path to the dark side, but it just seems to be hot air, cause I dont actually GET closer to the dark side for doing it.

On the other hand, using the Jedi mind trick to help solve a murder case, getting a Rodian to admit he helped frame a guy? Yeah, dark side.

That sounds right to me.
 
Force choke is kosher thanks to Clone Wars. I haven't watched it, but the Samuel Jackson strangles someone and remains lightside so that set a precedent and it percolated into SW:SAGA.
 
And force lightning is kosher thanks to some EU stuff. Again, I haven't watched it but WotC scribbled it in to stay consistant. Supposedly once the Jedi in question jumped the shark into an Episode 3 cameo he and his trademark lightside-lightning became cannon too.
 
Gratuitously using the force doesn't lead to the darkside but it a symptom of heading that way (according to Obi Wan's henpecking).
 
Using the force to solve a mystery is totaly darkside because that deals with objective truth but "ONLY THE SITH DEAL IN ABSOLUTES!!!!!" says Obi Wan.
 
Anyway sounds like KotOR has both the science fiction and morality fiction I know and love. :)

Aside from the craptitude of the Tales setting and the craptitude +1 of having to use a sword not a lightstick, KotR is really good and still trumps 99% of the rubbish that passes for modern next gen gaming. I must downloadz it sometime :D
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.
