Old Republic tag

Why don’t all the characters that are from the Old Republic getting the tag? Looking in the direction of the Triumvirate and other three sith lackeys (Marauder, Assassin and Trooper)
  • Maybe they should just get 'revanist' tag despite the fact it comes from another times in OR

    It would be like saying why isnt GG a part of the Galactic Republic. The Old Republic is an organisation not a time period. The sith (the enemies of the republic) are most certainly not part of this.

    Now as for why characters like Visas Marr and HK arent a part of it. Well I reckon its because the Old Republic also means in this case, synergy with Carth, JKR and the rest of the group. So Visas Marr didnt travel at this time so no synergy.
    HK is an old toon whos getting a rework, he will prob get the Old Republic tag.
    Even Fallen Bastilla would know how to operate with either side as they have worked together.

    Im not saying its perfect and obviously the game has to justify certain interactions, but there are clearly bonds between the characters to justify


    It's an era as well but I was told the developers were going with revan followers only get OR tag

    Marr is a trivial character now. Had a nitche in P1 Sith Raid, but the team is better with revan in p2

    Give Marr OR tag and she would be a solid character again. with Jedi tag, doubly so


    Id be for that... but it wont happen


    Her amount of tags is disgusting. A wasted attempt with what should've been an amazing toon

    Whilst there is indeed the era for the old republic, there is also the era of the republic and the era of the empire. My point was more that people arent categorised by eras but groups. In this case you said revan followers get the tag, and my quote supports this

    (i hope im not over explaining something when you are agreeing with me, or at least i think you are, not in the best state of mind)

    But dark bast is sith AND OR


    Sith assassin, trooper and marauder are part of the sith empire, Bastilla (i do not believe fallen bastilla is). She still has worked heavily for the republic and has some justification for have tags in both

    Again not perfect, i admit


    And Darth Vader should have the galactic republic too


    No cause we have episode 4 DV, not episode 3 DV


    I would not give Ep3 Vader the republic tag either since as soon as he became Vader he worked for palpatine new empire

    This illustrates some of the silliness of the way they approached faction tags in this game. The Republic and the Empire are the same nation. The only difference is a vote from the Senate to make the Supreme Chancellor an Emperor instead. Anakin was always working for Palpatine, he just wasn't always aware Palps was a Sith.

    The statement from the dev team about this is that the Old Republic is the organization and not the time period.

    It makes sense for most cases, but the Sith being given this tag would not.

    HK-47, and Marr should both have the OR tag, as they were both characters in the game.


    They said this was on the table at the time of the above statement.
