** Also in the Foundry, after you've destroyed [[=HK-47=], Revan comments: "That droid waited loyally for me for 300 years. I can rebuild him, but it won't be the same." Considering [=HK-47's=] attitude toward ''meatbags'', it really brings home how much the original crew of the Ebon Hawk meant to each other, and how it has all been lost.

* The ultimate fate of Revan is both heartbreaking and rage-inducing. He is rescued from his centuries-long imprisonment by Republic players, only to attempt to save the galaxy by wiping out everyone with any trace of Sith blood... which is around 97% of the Imperial population. Imperial players are sent to take him down, and as he (seemingly) dies, he echoes Malak's last words on how he is beyond redemption. PlayerPunch doesn't even begin to cover how much this sucks for fans of the old games.

** Worse still is if she's saved. Once she finds out that literally 300 people died to save her, she's hit with a massive bout of SurvivorGuilt and refuses to even see the Trooper again. The letter that she sends only punctuate the enormity of that fact. Having presumably heeded advice to check herself into therapy in order to help herself cope, the fact that her typing/writing is pretty much all in lower case, missing most of its punctuation and is riddled with despondence shows the player just how much her survival broke her down.

** When the final speaker talks in faltering, half-broken Basic, saying that they've lost most of their history and knowledge, but they know that Taris was once a city...then pauses and has to reassure herself that she ''knows'' what a city is. She then laments that this will likely be the last generation:

to:

** When Rukil speaks in his log that, while they successfully found the Promised Land, and that it had withstood the orbital bombardments....it didn't survive the planet's aftershocks caused by the bombardments. All the ancient colony's buildings collapsed and every single power generator destroyed/unrepairable making the technology that onced sustained the colony effectively useless.
** Baral, Rukil's successor as "Promised One" upon his death, comments that without a way to manufacturer or repair the technology that once was rich on Taris, then the descendants of the Promised Ones will live harsher and more primatve lives than what their predecessors on Taris enjoyed. She also mentions that the Rakghoul vaccine that prevented the survivors from being infected....has run out. She hopes that the immunity has become inheritable.
** Ku Ki, the 14th generational successor of Rukil's role as "Promised One", comments that by their time only 1 in 3 of their children survive to adulthood. With many of their number succumbing to the Rakghoul virus. She mentions their ancient records mentioning that a vaccine for the virus once existed, but any other information on it has long been lost to history. She then states that the tribe plans on leaving for higher ground, as they can no longer fight off the Rakghouls, and hope to rebuild some of the buildings on the surface to use as fortifications.
** Lurr,
the final speaker Promised One, talks in faltering, half-broken Basic, saying that they've lost most of their history and knowledge, but they know that Taris was once a city...then pauses and has to reassure herself that she ''knows'' city... except her understanding of what a city is."city" was...is only "many houses, many people". She then laments that this will likely be the last generation:

* Khem Val's situation when you meet him. He's been trapped in Tulak Hord's tomb for who knows how long, only to learn Hord is long dead. Khem himself sums it up best:

* The planet Alderaan itself is a total punch to the gut, especially to Light Side players who actually do everything they can to help the place. You get to spend hours and hours seeing what a downright beautiful planet it was before Palpatine's Empire destroys it. It's really eerie and depressing to run around a planet full of history and natural beauty that you know is going to be completely obliterated in a few thousand years.

It's really eerie and depressing to run around a planet full of history and natural beauty that you know is going to be maintained and appreciated right up until it is all completely obliterated in a few thousand years.

* Malavi Quinn’s betrayal may hit hard if player is playing a female Warrior who romanced Quinn and felt attached. On the bright side, you can continue the romance if you forgive Quinn and tell him to make it up to you.

You honored me. You saved my life. You loved me better than anyone ever has. I'll repay those debts. I'll carry your memory with me on every hunt I take untill the day I die.\\

** The alternative explanation is perhaps even worse. Valls sais that he has foreseen that Theron is destined to succeed. It is possible that he full well knows what Theron is doing and deliberately [[HeroicSacrifice throws his life away]] to make sure Theron's cover stays intact. If so, the Outlander has just killed someone who was in reality an ally.

* On a meta level, Jicoln and the Preservers are a heavy blow to ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' players. Your character probably just made it through The Foundry flashpoint where you dispatch the crazed Revan like a rabid mutt, and Jicoln's faction are a splinter group who follow Canderous's teachings, believing the Mandalorians deserve better than to be Sith hired guns. Add this to destroying everything the Republic side tried to accomplish on Taris. In the space of a few levels, story-wise, the Hunter has taken the legacies of [=KOTOR's=] finest, smashed it to atoms, and gets hailed as an Imperial hero for it.
