*Spoiler alert for those who haven't played any of the TFU games*
I might be a little ranty, but yeah...
Alright, I understand the concept behind TFU, but assuming sith training and all that was applied based on what I know of other sith, does anyone else find it very frustrating that Galen Marek would even be alive? I mean, he fails to follow the sith code, even BEFORE helping to start the alliance, he fails to follow the jedi code, you can't really classify him as a grey jedi because he relies too much on his emotions... He litterally follows no natural force-users code boundry to keep him in check, and alive, so how the heck would he be able to survive so many encounters? For that matter, his aggressive style uses juyo (A style the requires very strict emotional discipline to use even partially correctly) more than soresu, which is an extremely different style, yet he manages to apply both at once while not having faults in either...?
The sith codes state that while emotions are power, they need to be kept in check, and love is purely forbidden. The jedi codes state that they need to have a zen, emotionless state, and love is purely forbidden. What is Galen's first reaction to meeting Juno? I mean... It's like the script writers completely skipped looking into sith psychology/mentality/theology and simply decided to write up a love story about some rebellious teen who manages to set up a resistance against the people who raised him? (wait a second, that plotline sounds familiar...)
Even not worrying about those facts, how come he has such a heavy force reserve, manages to use it correctly, yet shows little to no training in its use aside from the occasional pep talk with his force-using buds?
Point being, due to the serious mary sueness, and flaws in Galen Marek's personality, physiology, and mentality (among other things) does anyone actually believe he should have been able to survive half as long as he did? Clone, the real thing, or otherwise? (I mean, if he showed half the things he did IG during his training, I'm pretty sure Vader would have killed him on the spot long, LONG ago...)
/end rant/thought
That being said, its a perfect game for those not versed in much starwars lore, or who simply want to smash things, I just have some serious issues with this being actual "historically accurate" pieces of star wars lore.
