Sith Empire/Old republic is like the Kardashians...
...more powerful than they should be and just as annoying
Forum Discussion
This thread is why I avoid the forums these days. People that hate other people for characters that they individually like.
Sure KOTOR 1 and 2 are meta for about a year and a half now, and will be very prevalent for awhile to come. But in the end this was for several reasons.
First, everyone knows that KOTOR has a huge fan base and CG knew they could take advantage of this by charging insane paywalls for them. In order for this to work, they had to be OP, else the KOTOR fans wouldn't whale on them.
Second, CG used to be owned by Bioware, the guys that made Revan in the first place, and are currently owned by EA that publishes SWTOR, another game set in the old republic universe, as well as owns Bioware, the creators of KOTOR and Revan. A lot of people like sharing that existing IP within EA.
Third, even though Disney declassified Revan AMD kotor for the moment from their official canon, that doesn't mean that these characters don't have huge fanbases. Everything is make believing in star wars anyways. And just because it isn't canon now, doesn't mean that Disney can't change their mind and remake it into canon, which has been hinted at by several people in LucasArts. This is a non-argument for this.
Fourth, We all know that this meta is coming to an end. The characters in this game hardly have their power based on technical in universe power. There is no way han solo could beat any light saber wielding person in the game, yet he is one of the strongest in the game. Yet we all accept this. The reason CG makes every meta stronger than the last is to make it so you have to buy in. The 7* general skywalker meta is coming soon, and he is OP as they come. I'm sure CG has plenty more OP where that comes from. When Grand Master Mary Rey comes to the game, I'm sure she will be so OP that GAS will quell in fear, even though we don't probably agree with that as a fandom. So just stop bringing this complaint.
I'm off to reddit where I can downvote posts like these.
