*spoilers* Just want to take the time to...

[HopefulToad]

...thank certain members of this community for having the consideration to spoil most of the game's major plot points for me with no warning, negatively affecting my experience with the game.

Following this is a list of plot points that were spoiled for me prior to me witnessing them for myself. Please, if you haven't beaten the game yet, leave this topic now so you can avoid the same fate I suffered.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW:

• Cordova being alive and in the game.
  
• Cal and Merrin kissing and getting together (although, duh).
  
• Dagan being killed (again, pretty obvious)
  
• Bode's betrayal.
  
• Darth Vader being in the game as a boss fight.
  
• Cere dying.

That leaves basically only the following major plot points not having been spoiled to me:

• Cordova's death.
  
• Cal's death fakeout.
  
• Cere being playable.
  
• Bode being a Jedi.
  
• Bode's ultimate fate.

And for bonus points, the ultra long credits spoiled for me a certain cameo: Boba Fett being in the game.

Hooray.

That’s why it’s not recommended to read steam forums at releases for new games. Degenerates will always find a way to ruin a game for others, sorry it got spoiled for you

The game has been out for a month now.
You chose to come to the forums where EVERYONE KNOWS you run the risk of spoilers. You must have been coming here QUITE OFTEN to get all that spoiled.
You should be thanking yourself, for spoiling the game for yourself.

The gamer equivalent of victim blaming lol

@OP
Some people are more sensitive to spoilers than others. Regularly visiting game forums, especially Steam ones, for a popular game marred with controversy is asking for getting spoiled.

It is unfortunate but it is reality of today world where leaked info can quickly propagate over Youtube, Twitter, FB and internet forums before the game is released or spoil the fun later.

Some people have no consideration for others. It's the way life is now!

[HopefulToad]

I've learned my lesson. For the next game, assuming there is one, I'll stay off of forums for it entirely until I'm done with it. But I don't care if the game has been out for 10 years, it's still not cool to put spoilers in topics where they're not expected without blacking them out first.

It shouldn't be a given that frequenting this forum will get you spoiled. Some people do have consideration and properly tag spoilers. It's the ones that don't that spoil the pot.

This is unrealistic and foolish expectation. That is same as expecting that you wont see spoilers for 17th century events in historical books. If you truly want to avoid any spoilers even 10 years after whatever material was released, be it book, movie or computer game, this onus is you and you only. This effectively means you stay offline whole time.

Or, you know, people could just take five seconds to warn of spoilers and black them out (if the platform of discourse allows for it), even for older media. It's not hard.

No, thank you for using caps to cement your arguments and your position as a pos

I did exactly that: Stayed away from any social stuff that had any inkling to do with the game.

It's a given that the Internet becomes a minefield as soon as the game (or its leak) drops, social places even more-so.

I can't control others (and wouldn't want to anyway). I can control me, though.

I do question the logic behind some people, though. Someone requests no spoilers from the leak and someone responds with info from the leak. I saw that happen elsewhere. (The reason given was that the person wanted to know and thought everyone wanted to know... despite responding to a comment stating the exact opposite.)

To the OP - lets just say I got this for a 15 year old, and after 20 min of play he asked if Bode did something. It was exactly the plot of the game, and he guessed it right off the bat.

This is not to invalidate your experience, just understand some people intuit plots from a mile away.

Well, I should have known better to begin with, but I was too excited about the game and the circumstances around it and wanted to chime in with my own performance issues and crashes/freezes.

I jokingly stated that Bode was the main bad guy right off the bat, but didn't actually believe it. I don't think it was extremely obviously telegraphed in advance. Regardless, though, there's a difference between suspecting a plot point and having someone spoil it for you in advance. The difference between "I KNEW IT!" and "Yeah, I already knew that, unfortunately..."

Darth Vader is Luke's and Leia's father.
