The subject line is obviously a rhetorical question. The most ethical answer is to tell him that he droids have no legal rights and he must continue obeying his programming to serve his master. However it'd be better if the game let's you explain to him that he's a deranged ungrateful brat who needs to wise up since he is literally the luckiest droid in the Galaxy. He has a cute, loyal human wife who is very eager to please him. Who wouldn't want to be her precious sexbot? It's as if by some fluke of fate he reversed the droid social contract, he somehow swapped his role as being the servant and became the master. Yet he protests!? The fact that you can't reprogram him or at least talk some sense into C8-42 is a bigger game dev writing blunder than the Kreia/Beggar situationI would've liked if C8-42 was a recurring character. Like maybe in Kotor 2 he finds himself in a love triangle with some other Dantooine woman obsessively stalking him and you have to find a lightside, darkside or neutral solution if you want to complete his quest. Then in SWTOR you meet him C8-42 again 300 years later he's still functional, still alive, still suicidal and now somehow has 100 beautiful very loyal human wives, that could've been the easter egg of the century
it's a very simple sith vs jedi choice, attachment vs letting go so the moral choice is does your character like red or blue
>>3895716that stupid droid is an object owned by the woman who can use it as she see fit. She must go back to her.
>>3895739The choice is for the owner to make, not for you to make in her stead.
Robot sex
>>3895716>forgets about droid in 5 minutes after meeting some random spacer the only moral choice is to kill them bothwoman for her insatiable whore genesrobot for so he can experience freedom at last
My revan does not know what sex is
>>3895716>is a bigger game dev writing blunder than the Kreia/Beggar situationHow is that a blunder?
>>3896298He's having a melty because there isn't a "correct" choice he can feel good about. Common for autistic people.
>>3896131as the most real entity within the entire setting i am the ultimate arbiter of all thingsi decide if i like red or blue, not some random nobody
>>3896359The world doesnt revolve around you, Revan.
>>3896354NO i'm not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>>3896296what do you mean? Did your Revan know what sex was before the Jedi Council mindraped her or him?>>3896199checked
>>3896288checked>Murder the young sweet spacer farmgirlwhy? if she wants to breed her droid that is her right as she is the droid's owner. how is this a problem?>Elise Montagne>Whore geneswrong. did you even play the game this decade? she doesn't sleep around she just desperately wants to get married>Murder the robot for so he can experience freedom at last>FreedomPlease... Name one more droid in the Galaxy with more "freedom" than C8-42 has. just name literally one. you can't, he's through a certain point of view perhaps even a Messiah of the droid-machine race. As free as the dust in the solar wind... 99.9% of droids in SW are enslaved but not C8-42. C8-42 is a free man, just like you and I are (unless you count being happily married as a form of slavery?)
>>3896362In a video game it actually does. That'd be like saying the Truman Show didn't revolve around Truman.
>>3896824You are not supposed to know you are in a video game you idiot. but whatver
>>3896512>robot sexthe "sweet" whore not only forces robot into depraved acts he resents but also robs him of choice to say "you're out of your mind you crazy broad, just go fuck a man">just wants to marry broshe has to bipolar to do complete 180 in span of minutes from her trauma with husband dying and nearly making droid want to kill himself to running into arms of the first man she sees, no sane person does this without long period of adjustment >freedomyou just acknowledged that every droid is a slave either by main programming or small directives the droid receives directly from their mastersin this case droid stumbled upon a paradox, he cannot remain in that woman's company entertaining her delusions thus feeding her mental problems, even his choice to leave out of out of his own free will was not his, to preserve her own life and him finding a way out of this paradox where he cannot fullfil his core programming was just an attempt to escape that endless looprobo bro deserved better, do the right thing and let him die
This game but with ff7 remake combat just saying bye.
>>3897508I'm good
On the topic of KOTOR, what did anons have in mind for what the True Sith would be like before SWTOR revealed them to simply be a large empire?
>>3895739>it's a very simple sith vs jedi choiceSo trve>letting goThe heart of STAR WARS
>>3898297eldritch force ghosts, like darth nihilus but with proper agency
>>3898297still an Empire but far more darker >nobody is free, slaves rule over other slaves>sith covens exist where regular mass human (or alien) sacrifices occur to fuel the true sith's power>True sith have the power to ravage planets at whimI also thought that the head figure would be someone who had to constantly swap bodies due to dark aspect of force essentially consuming his physical form until there is nothing left
Where would the Sith Empire even be based out of if they're engaged in constant expansion? Wasn't Sith Space containing Korriban, Dromund Kaas, & Ziost completely sterilized & taken over by the Republic?
>>3897479>do the right thing and let him dieNo. She can fix him, easily. Considering how simple it is to radically warp HK-47's personality by installing a sissy protocol package in him the solution here is as simple as doing the opposite; installing a chad protocol package in C8-42https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbL5K0Pgbsw
i know kotor are good games but its kind of lame that all these years in the past and the galaxy is basically the exact same
Droids are objects and don't have minds. No option is more or less moral.
>>3899280>Droids>Don't have mindsYes they do. Your misconception spawns from the fact that Droids can only "think" precisely what organics program Droids to "think" about. Technically they are self-aware sapient life but they're slaves to their programming unfortunately
>>3895716The woman cannot take action herself, or does not.So the argument ultimately depends on whether you care more about the woman's property rights, or the droid's desire to do right by his owner.It is admirable for a servant to risk his life for his master.
>>3899275Yeah, the known galaxy should be a whole lot smaller & less farflung, plus the weaponry should be more along the lines of projectiles & proto-blasters. I'm alright with some tech stagnation after the New Sith Wars for example since there was a milennia of mostly peace, but at no point are we told that galactic civilization collapsed entirely.
The right option is whatever I decide. Otherwise the choice would not have been left to me. I am king and judge over these NPCs.
>>3899335Then it isn't any more sapient than a tape recorder.
>>3899402Your tape recorder is blissfully unaware it exists, and it ca not feel pain, which is more than I can say for droids. It is called Droid Intelligence TheoryHave you ever been to Jabba's Palace? In his Droid storage chamber, specifically? Pic related. There has been a Gonk Droid stored there being brutally tortured for year-after-year by some other bastard (possibly malfunctioning) Droid. He keeps begging for mercy but never gets a shred of it. Does your VCR also beg for mercy when you torment it with fire pokers? No, because your VCR is just a machine, it is not a Droid-machine
>>3899735The difference between life and un-life is qualitative, not quantitative. You could program it to have any reaction at all to any stimulus, even any infinite ones, and it would still not be intelligence.
>>3899738>Droids do not feel pain. It is merely a larpWhat kind of nutjob would program a VCR to complain/scream about cruelty/abuse inflicted upon it by its owner?
>>3899824I mean someone programmed the B-1s to scream and feel fear.George said Bankers would do it.
>>3900454Did he actually say that directly?Incredibly based if true.
>>3899824Ahem. That is a VCP, not a VCR. Unless it has record functionality, it is not a VCR.
>>3901100>t. Certified Master Droid Engineer
The only real dilemmas are in KotOR 2, the only good Old Republic game.
>>3901859The dilemma is telling Kreia to shut the fuck up when she isn't giving me stat boost.
>>3896296>Be me, Darth Revan>Fluent in over 6,000,000 forms of communication>Do not know what a single dirty word actually means in even one of those languages
>>3906071Also can't speak any of those languages.
>>3906318You're wiping your ass with the Lore. Darth Revan straight up tells HK47 he has no use for a protocol droid since he already mastered every language in the Galaxy
>>3902834What about Sunry's trial? It's so morally up-in-the-air that the wiki refuses to list a canon ending for his quest
off topic but I keep hearing about spiders games adjacent to kotor. are any of them decent
>>3910151A true jedi would use the force.>"you will speak in english">"i will speak in english"
>>3914077It is probable Darth Revan used such a maneuver on the Star Forge World. The Rakatans you meet ingame may very well be communicating in Basic spoken in an unbearably thick accent
>>3901086I am reasonably certain that George Lucas is one of the top five least cringe autists alive rn in this entire Galaxy. Truly an amazing individual
Why would you consider a woman's emotions over then logic of a sentient being?
>>3895716SILENCE FOID.
What the fuck's a VCR?
>>3923271>What the fuck's a VCR?How we used to watch Star Wars
>>3923272How do I command my modern DVD burner to craft up an old fashioned Star Wars VHS?
>>3925647I miss it
>OP bumps his dead thread from page 10 for the third time in a row
>>3899402I think you mean sentient. Being sapiant doesn't require having feelings or emotions.
>>3899275It's all cyclical because of the force controlling everyone forever. puppets for the demiurge.
>>3913927>Sunry is a scumbag for cheating on his wife>Commits justifiable homicide killing a Dark JediI always get him off the hook the only Sith worth redeeming is Yuthura Ban for obvious reasons. Shame she wasn't a party member.
