The Mirialan Padawan of the Jedi you kill at the end of chapter 1 in the Bounty Hunter Storyline. You can't miss her.<br /><br />You're given the option to either kill or let her go. But what makes this particularly frustrating, is that even if choose lightside, you're still forced to kill her later on Quesh. No option to knock-out or stun. <br />Seriously, you get a penalty for killing one Jedi alone (while still perfectly capable of defending herself), but not for slaughtering her when backed up by some grunts with blasters?<br /><br />Given that you receive mail from her (and shows some sign of forgiveness and sympathy towards you) this just came across as something of a lazy wrap-up to a character I always felt had a lot more potential. Heck, I'd even have preferred them to leave her fate ambiguous.<br /><br />In fact, it was almost like she was being set-up as a kind of possible companion. And given that the Bounty Hunter is the only class (pre KOTFE) that doesn't get a force sensitive companion like Raina/Guss/Yuun at least, this could have been a means to acquire one. Turning her back on the order and becoming a Gray Jedi/Mercenary. Either by taking her hostage, or have her realize she's just a pawn of Jun Seros, and seeing the hypocrisy in him and the order. And that things are not just black and white. Imagine bringing her to the final fight with him on Corellia.<br /><br />I'm just firing out some ideas here. But I feel that there was some great story material that was flushed away with her demise. Plus I like Mirialans. And lets face it, who wouldn't take her over the likes of Skadge? It could have been a bit like the choice between good/evil Jaesa. And looking at it from a profitable angle, having even a low level Jedi on your team would still be seen as beneficial for a Hunter. Particularly those mind trick powers and agility at your disposal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-51913477959677853622017-10-25T11:38:55.609+01:002017-10-25T11:38:55.609+01:00Heh, this is a great topic for a blog post!

She only has lots of fans on the forums because she's a good-looking female character and that's enough for many people to want her as a companion.<br /><br />Jaxo was kind of charming, but ultimately it's the choice preceding her "death" that made her memorable. Without it, I don't think she had as much going for her. Again, guys just want all the ladies with flirt options to hang around as long as possible.

I always enjoy her story arc because she feels like a typical PC and we're the NPCs that show up and take her victories away. It was a nice bit of story-twisting. <br /><br />While I do like her arc is completed on Taris, it would have been interesting if she showed up, now and then, while we worked our way to Corellia in the original game. She could have been our 'up and coming' competition. Then at Corellia we could have had our final meeting where she lived or died. Bioware did a good job of building up certain NPCs over the course of leveling and then giving us the option to let them live or die.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-61815378923995045592017-10-17T21:45:41.493+01:002017-10-17T21:45:41.493+01:00Clearly the most important NPC who died before the...Clearly the most important NPC who died before their time was Tyrus, the captain of the Esseles. :P<br /><br />In all seriousness, though, I would say that my pick would be Jek Kardan, who seems to be a fairly big player when you first meet him on Coruscant, boasting about how the people you hunt down onwards are his family, and then you never see him again even if you don't kill him.<br /><br />I always found that odd, considering that he makes a personal promise to kill you "within the day" if you harm a single one of his former allies, yet three of them are irretrievably killed...Calphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15809660484854758097noreply@blogger.com
