SWTOR Knights of the Fallen Empire Chapter II: A Dream of Empire Story Choices and Dialogue

The Knights of the Fallen Empire Chapter II: A Dream of Empire chapter takes place in the third expansion of Star Wars: The Old Republic, in a mind-scape where the player speaks to Valkorion about both his and the player’s past in a dream-like environment.

Dialogue

The dialogue below is an example of what the dialogue trees may look like, but may not reflect how it is in-game exactly, due to some options not being used, and the way the dialogue trees are non-linear. I’ve done my best to put the text together in a fun way where you can look at the differences in the dialogue choices, and see the different wordings depending on your class, faction or alignment. There will potentially be spoilers from every class story and every expansion before this one. Enjoy!

There is a lot of different dialogue trees depending on the player’s class, and whether the player had married their companion or not. There is also some minor dialogue choice differences depending on if the player had kneeled to Valkorion earlier in Chapter I.

My favorite differences include:

  • As an Inquisitor or Warrior, you fight a vision of Darth Marr, and Valkorion will ask if you felt cheated when he disposed of him.
  • As a Bounty Hunter, you’ll fight Mand’alore, and the game recognizes if you had become a Mandalorian or not.
  • If you refused to kneel to Valkorion in the previous chapter, you can offer to drop him into a star.
  • You can ask Valkorion if he’s flirting with you. lol.
  • Valorion has some interesting dialogue if you tell him you are in love with one of your companions (if you married them) which gives some unique perspective on his marriage with Senya. “Love withers when it is neglected. Left alone too long, love will seek another.”
  • If you tell Valkorion that being trapped in carbonite doesn’t feel like winning, he will reply, “A worm enters a chrysalis to grow wings. It never crawls again–and never looks back.”
  • If you play as an Inquistor, Warrior, or Agent, the Valkorion calls it “our failed empire”, but if you are on a Bounty Hunter, he leaves you out and calls it his own failed empire.
  • As a Jedi Consular, if you ask about his Zakuulan children, you’ll point out they are not like the Children of the Emperor you fought before.
  • Later, if you ask where his children’s mother is, he’ll reply “I made a mistake. I let her go.”

Introduction

Disaster! Republic and Imperial forces, hunting the former Sith Emperor into unexplored space, have discovered an overpowering new enemy: THE ETERNAL EMPIRE.

Now calling himself Valkorion and ruling over the planet Zakuul, the Emperor’s triumph is cut short by the murderous betrayal of his own son, Prince Arcann.

With Darth Marr and Emperor Valkorion dead, Prince Arcann seizes the Eternal Empire’s throne and imprisons [Player] in carbonite as Zakuul begins its conquest of the galaxy….

Part 5

Republic

  • Jedi Knight Valkorion: Your Republic will not save you, Jedi. It is a cradle of corruption. I never understood how you could serve politicians.
    • Jedi Knight I serve the people. Player: I defend peace and justice. Protect the innocent from harm.
      • Jedi Knight Valkorion: And they squander your sacrifice. Why continue to help? What do you hope to achieve?
        • Jedi Knight Player: It’s never been about me.
          • Jedi Knight Valkorion: Perhaps it should be.
  • Trooper Valkorion: You spent your life taking orders from cowardly politicians. Such a waste.
    • Trooper I defend the Republic. Player: I protect free worlds from scum like you. No regrets about that.
      • Trooper Valkorion: Your Republic is an empty ideal. Its people cannot appreciate your service.
        • Trooper Player: I don’t fight for a parade.
          • Trooper Valkorion: You deserve better than empty gestures.
  • Smuggler Valkorion: You made your fortune in this corrupt Republic. But money cannot save you now.
    • Smuggler I have connections, too. Player: You’re forgetting all my friends in high places. They’ll get me out of this.
      • Smuggler Valkorion: Saresh and her cowards? To them you are a crude implement, easily cast aside.
        • Smuggler Player: Now you’re just being hurtful.
          • Smuggler Valkorion: Pain brings clarity. Embrace it, Captain.
  • Jedi Consular Valkorion: You Jedi cultivate detachment, and yet you lay down your lives to preserve this place.
    • Jedi Consular I protect many civilizations. Player: The knowledge and cultures of a thousand worlds gather here. They’re well worth defending.
      • Jedi Consular Valkorion: They would not return that favor. The Republic shunned your Order after the Sacking of Coruscant.
        • Jedi Consular Player: People were afraid, but things changed.
          • Jedi Consular Valkorion: They will change again. That is the way of things.
  • Stop following me. Player:
    • Trooper OR Smuggler Player: You’re slow on the uptake. I’ll spell it out for you: Leave. Me. Alone.
    • Valkorion: I offer help. You seek shelter you do not need.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Player: Stand aside. I will not be swayed from my path.
  • You’re controlling this dream. Player: I didn’t choose to come here. You brought me. Why?
    • Valkorion: You control more than you think. I follow your lead.

  • Valkorion: There is greatness in you that cannot be denied. You are a far superior leader to any Chancellor.
  • This isn’t a dictatorship. Player: I won’t bother explaining democracy to a Sith.
    • Valkorion: I am no Sith. And democracy is overrated.
    • Valkorion: This Republic is not worth saving any more than my Empire. We have a greater purpose.
    • You mean Zakuul? Player: To take back your Eternal Throne?
      • Valkorion: You failed to defend their home. They will not forgive you.
        • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular This is a test of my Code. Player: I only fail when fear controls me.
          • Valkorion: Republic… Empire… The Eternal Throne conquers all. You cannot stop it. Save yourself.
        • Trooper I won’t battle civilians. Player: Right or wrong, I’m not firing on my own people.
        • Smuggler Just my luck. Player: I take the fall for your kid’s temper tantrum. Figures.
        • Get back, people! Player: Don’t come any closer!
          • Valkorion: They will not listen. They want you dead.
        • None of this is happening. Player: I’m not afraid of them. It’s just a bad dream.
          • Valkorion: But the carbonite poisoning is quite real.
  • ( Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler ) See Full Conditions [[[Did you refuse to kneel before Valkorion, and are a Republic class?]]] There is no “we”. Player: If you think we’re joining forces, you’re insane.
    • Valkorion: Am I?
  • ( Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler ) See Full Conditions [[[Did you kneel before Valkorion, and are a Republic class?]]] I know. Player: Then let’s join forces like we planned on Zakuul.
    • Valkorion: First, you must survive.
  • The Republic is worth saving. Player: I’m loyal to the Republic. Nothing you show me will change that.
    • Valkorion: You refuse to see the truth. It will cost you.
  • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Power doesn’t interest Jedi. Player: I’m not one of your Sith. You can’t tempt me with power.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Valkorion: You have all the power you require. What you lack is focus.
  • Trooper Politics don’t interest me. Player: My place is on the front lines, not behind some desk.
    • Trooper Valkorion: Every soldier needs a cause worth fighting for.
  • Smuggler You want me to run for office? Player: You applying to be my campaign manager?
    • Smuggler Valkorion: A new order must replace this one. Why not yours?
  • I should be in charge. Player: If I controlled the Republic, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. You’d be dead.
    • Valkorion: Perhaps. But we share a vision of how things could be.

Imperial

  • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Agent Valkorion: Our failed Empire. You were always superior to the murderous fools in charge here.
    • Sith Warrior Destroying them pleases me. Player: I enjoy ending their lives when they fail.
      • Sith Warrior Valkorion: You could be more than an executioner. You could rule.
        • Sith Warrior Player: And spend my days fighting those who would steal my rightful place.
          • Sith Warrior Valkorion: You understand what is required. There is nothing to fear.
          • Valkorion: The Dark Council… Imperial Intelligence… Mandalorians… all fail. You alone find victory.
            • But now I’m imprisoned. Player: I’m trapped in carbonite, dying of poison, and talking to you. This doesn’t feel like winning.
              • Valkorion: A worm enters a chrysalis to grow wings. It never crawls again–and never looks back.
              • Valkorion: This Empire is not worth saving, and the Republic is not worth destroying. There is a greater purpose awaiting us.
                • You mean Zakuul. Player: You want to take back your Eternal Throne.
                  • Valkorion: They want someone to blame for their defeat. They choose you.
                    • The Empire won’t be defeated. Player: Your inbred children will never conquer Dromund Kaas.
                      • Valkorion: Empire… Republic… Both fall before the Eternal Throne. You cannot stop what is to come. Save yourself.
                    • Dreams don’t frighten me. Player: I won’t waste my strength fighting things that aren’t real.
                      • Valkorion: These are not illusions.
                    • If they want to die, fine. Player: Let them come. It’s their funeral.
                      • Valkorion: Theirs or yours. Only you can decide that. Choose quickly.
                • End of Conversation
            • ( Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty Hunter OR Agent ) See Full Conditions [[[Did you refuse to kneel before Valkorion, and are an Imperial class?]]] We’re not allies. Player: I don’t need allies. Especially cagey beasts like you.
              • Valkorion: Is that so?
            • ( Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty Hunter OR Agent ) See Full Conditions [[[Did you refuse to kneel before Valkorion, and are an Imperial class?]]] I’m listening. Player: I already agreed to join you.
              • Valkorion: I have not forgotten.
            • The Empire is worth saving. Player: The Empire is stronger than you think. I won’t abandon my home.
              • Valkorion: Do not let sentiment cloud reality.
      • My destiny is unfulfilled. Player:
      • Sith Warrior Player: Victory won’t be mine until the last Jedi falls at my feet.
        • Sith Warrior Valkorion: The Jedi Order is not your concern. Leave their defeat to another.
      • Sith Inquisitor Player: I won’t be satisfied until the Empire is under my complete control.
        • Sith Inquisitor Valkorion: Old ambitions will not sate your appetite.
      • Bounty Hunter Player: The hunt never ends. There’s always a bigger score.
        • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: Then chase something worthy of you.
      • Agent Player: I’ve only begun to spin my web of influence.
        • Agent Valkorion: To trap whom?
    • Not while you’re still alive. Player: I’ll feel better when you’re gone for good.
      • Valkorion: I am not your enemy. I will help you see.
    • Sith Inquisitor Someday they’ll all be dead. Player: They underestimate me. That will be their downfall.
      • Sith Inquisitor Valkorion: You sat on the Dark Council, but you never belonged with petty tyrants.
        • Sith Inquisitor Player: I climbed out of your slave pits to the top of the Empire. I rather like the view.
          • Sith Inquisitor Valkorion: We must broaden your horizons.
    • Agent And they all know it. Player: A fact I remind them of every chance I get.
      • Agent Valkorion: A mind–a will–like yours should not remain in the shadows. Your name should be exalted.
        • Agent Player: It’s known and feared by the right people.
          • Agent Valkorion: To inspire fear is useful. To inspire hope… that is true power.
    • I could make the Empire great. Player: This Empire failed because of you. Someone like me could lead it to victory.
      • Valkorion: Do not waste time following the path of Marr and Malgus. There is no redemption here.
    • Then why are we here? Player: What’s the point of wallowing in your biggest failure?
      • Valkorion: To prove a point.
  • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: My failed Empire. You never belonged here, clawing through filth for murderous bureaucrats.
    • Bounty Hunter It wasn’t all bad. Player: It paid the bills. Sometimes I even had fun.
      • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: It wasted your talents. There is more to life–to you–than credits and contracts.
        • Bounty Hunter Player: Yeah–reputation. Even your Sith fear my name.
          • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: As they should. The Force has no power over you.
    • Then why are we here? Player: What’s the point of wallowing in your biggest failure?

Part 6

The player fights a Vision of the Past enemy. They are different for each class.

  • Jedi Knight Jedi Knight: Satele Shan
  • Jedi Consular Jedi Consular: Satele Shan
  • Trooper Trooper: Geenral Garza
  • Smuggler Smuggler: Nok Drayen
  • Sith Warrior Sith Warrior: Darth Marr
  • Sith Inquisitor Sith Inquisitor: Darth Marr
  • Bounty HunterBounty Hunter: Mand’alore
  • Agent Imperial Agent: Darth Jadus

  • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Valkorion: No authority but your own, no obligation but to yourself. Do not be afraid. Admit how good it feels.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular No. I feel sick. Player: Grandmaster Satele is the heart of the Jedi Order. I would never strike her down.
      • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Valkorion: You refuse to admit your truth. So be it.
      • End of Conversation
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Yes, this feels right. Player: Grandmaster Satele failed the Jedi Order. I should have struck her down long ago.
      • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Valkorion: You are ready for the future.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler Am I seeing the future? Player: These visions… are they real? Will Coruscant fall?
      • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler Valkorion: What does it matter?
  • Trooper Valkorion: The corrupted patriot. In the end, victory was more important to her than the people she served.
    • Trooper You didn’t know her. Player: No. She made hard decisions, but she cared about her people.
      • Trooper Valkorion: Still playing the lap dog? So be it.
    • Trooper She deserved to die. Player: You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that.
      • Trooper Valkorion: You are no longer bound by orders. The future is yours to decide.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler Am I seeing the future? Player: These visions… are they real? Will Coruscant fall?
  • Smuggler Valkorion: You do not belong to the Republic any more than he did. You have always lived outside the law.
    • Smuggler What’s your point? Player: What’s a dead man got to do with this?
      • Smuggler Valkorion: The galaxy is shaped by the dead. You must learn from their failures.
    • Smuggler I belong to no one but myself. Player: You’re right. But I don’t belong to you either.
      • Valkorion: When it comes to your future, your will is law. Not mine.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler Am I seeing the future? Player: These visions… are they real? Will Coruscant fall?
  • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior Valkorion: Did it please you to kill him yourself? I sensed you felt cheated when I disposed of him.
    • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior He deserved to live. Player: Wrong. I respected Marr. He led the Empire with honor.
      • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior Valkorion: There is no honor in fighting for a lost cause.
    • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior It’s true, I did. Player: Marr was weak. I always knew he’d die for my pleasure someday.
      • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior Valkorion: You have released your past. You are ready.
    • You’re enjoying all this. Player: This dream is a big joke to you, isn’t it?
      • Valkorion: I seek only to open your eyes.
      • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: The great Mandalore. Just another obstacle in your path to be swept aside.
    • Bounty Hunter See Full Conditions [[[Did you become a Mandalorian, as a Bounty Hunter?]]] I admired him. Player: He was an honorable warrior. Something you wouldn’t understand.
      • Valkorion: He was a glorified thug. You must aspire to be more.
    • Bounty Hunter See Full Conditions [[[Did you refuse to become a Mandalorian, as a Bounty Hunter?]]] I wish it was really him. Player: The Pubs put a fortune on the top Mando’s head. Too bad this is a dream.
      • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: You joke of credits and ignore the truth of your own power.
    • Bounty Hunter The real Mandalore is tougher. Player: I’m good, but it’d take more than just me to drop Mandalore.
      • Bounty Hunter Valkorion: False modesty has no place here. If you wish to survive, own your power.
    • You’re enjoying all this. Player: This dream is a big joke to you, isn’t it?
  • Agent Valkorion: Darth Jadus. The best Sith my Empire ever produced, but still deeply flawed–and no match for you.
    • Agent Spare me your false flattery. Player: Your appeals to my ego are tedious. That isn’t the real Jadus.
      • Agent Valkorion: You must see beyond your limited perception.
    • Agent He never was. Player: Fanatics are led by their egos. I always knew Jadus would follow his straight into my crosshair.
      • Agent Valkorion: You claim your power. You are close, now.
    • You’re enjoying all this. Player: This dream is a big joke to you, isn’t it?

Part 7

  • Valkorion: Ziost. The world where everything changed. For me, you… the galaxy.
  • Player: You killed every living being here.
  • Valkorion: They died opening my eyes to the truth. I have passed beyond death’s reach.
    • That’s a lie. Player: Everything dies. Even you.
      • Valkorion: Our flesh is not who we are. Voices… Hands… Children… I no longer require those crude vessels. At long last I am truly free.
        • You murdering lunatic. Player: Your freedom cost millions of innocent lives. You’re nothing but a monster.
          • Valkorion: I am a part of you, now more than ever.
          • Valkorion: I have done all I can to preserve your life.
          • Player: Why would you do that?
          • Valkorion: You are a part of me I wish to keep.
          • Valkorion: I cannot save you unless you want to live.
            • I don’t need your help. Player:
              • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Player: There is no death. There is only the Force.
                • Valkorion: Show me.
              • Trooper OR Smuggler OR Bounty Hunter Player: I can take this heap of slag alone.
              • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior Player: Sith do not beg for rescue. Through passion, I gain strength.
              • Agent Player: I will decide my fate, not you.
            • Share your power with me. Player: You can destroy it. Help me.
              • Valkorion: Not yet. But soon….
    • That makes one of us. Player: Will you be free when the carbonite poisoning kills me?
      • Valkorion: Perhaps. But that is not my goal.
    • What do you want? Player: You choose to visit me. Why?
      • Valkorion: Our story is not finished.
    • You have my attention… Player:
      • Trooper OR Smuggler OR Bounty Hunter Player: Care to put that claim to the test?
        • Valkorion: You will not be disappointed.
      • Agent Player: That’s a secret I’d be interested in–if I believed you.
        • Valkorion: It is your nature to doubt. I will convince you.
      • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior Player: Both Jedi and Sith have sought immortality. What makes you the exception?
        • Valkorion: I am not hindered by the teachings of failures.
    • Show me your truth, too. Player: I could use a little immortality before I die of carbon poisoning. Teach me.
      • Valkorion: Perhaps one day I will.

Part 8

The player fights the monolith.

Part 9

  • Valkorion: You are the only one who has ever matched my will to survive.
  • I live to see this war’s end. Player: It’s not about survival. I have a war to win.
    • Valkorion: No. It ended long ago.
    • End of Conversation
  • We’re nothing alike. Player: Stop comparing yourself to me.
    • Valkorion: You cannot deny we share a common foe.
  • Don’t touch me. Player: Get away. I can’t kill you, but I’ll find a way to hurt you.
    • Valkorion: You resist the inevitable. It is time you faced reality.

Part 10

  • Valkorion: The Eternal Throne. The new seat of power in the galaxy.
  • Player: It can’t be. I’ve only been gone–
  • Valkorion: Longer than you think. Zakuul has surpassed my expectations. The most powerful fleet in history, and an army of guardians who know the Force is more than light or dark.
  • Valkorion: But my children… my children abuse their power.
    • I’m surprised you have family. Player:
      • Jedi Knight Player: Real children? Not puppets enslaved to your will?
      • Jedi Consular Player: They aren’t like your “Children” I fought before. They have free will.
      • Trooper Player: You were bad enough alone. We didn’t need your relatives.
      • Smuggler Player: Never pegged you as a family man. Maybe it was all the planet-killing.
      • Sith Warrior Player: You sired offspring–and forgot that dynasties are built on the bones of their founders.
      • Sith Inquisitor Player: This is why Sith shouldn’t reproduce. Killing an apprentice is hard enough.
      • Bounty Hunter Player: How’d a charmer like you make babies? Cloning?
      • Agent Player: If you’re so immortal, why go to the trouble of reproduction?
        • Valkorion: Abandoning my past let me experience pleasures I denied myself before. I have known love on Zakuul. Who knows? Even you may find it.
        • You don’t know what love is. Player: The only thing you love is power.
          • Valkorion: I care about more than you know.
          • Valkorion: We must deal with my errant son and daughter before they ruin everything.
          • So that’s why you’re with me. Player: I knew you wanted something. You can’t stop them alone.
            • Valkorion: They are deadly–and worse, lack discipline.
            • Valkorion: Do not underestimate their threat. It will take both of us to undo the damage they can inflict.
              • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Agent Player: Your daughter sees me.
              • Smuggler OR Bounty Hunter Player: Your daughter’s giving me the eye.
                • Valkorion: Vaylin was always my favorite.
                • Arcann: What is it?
                • Valkorion: Interesting.
                      • Vaylin, I need your help. Player:
                        • Jedi Consular Player: The Force guides us both, Vaylin. You must free me from the carbonite.
                        • Trooper Player: Lady, if you can hear me… I need out of the carbonite right now.
                        • Smuggler Player: Your father isn’t much help. Maybe you can get me out of the carbonite….
                        • Sith Warrior Player: Hear my voice, child. Free me now, and I may be merciful.
                        • Sith Inquisitor Player: That’s right, focus on me. I want out of that carbonite tomb.
                        • Bounty Hunter Player: Hey, I’m talking to you. Get me out of the carbonite.
                        • Agent Player: You can hear too, yes? I demand you free me from the carbonite.
                        • Jedi Knight Player: Hear my voice, Vaylin. Release me from the carbonite while there’s time.
                      • She keeps secrets from him. Player: Your daughter doesn’t trust your son.
                        • Valkorion: She trusts no one.
                      • No, it’s just an illusion. Player: It’s an entertaining nightmare, but that’s all.
                        • Valkorion: No, it is more.
          • Smuggler OR Agent I have. Lots of times. Player: I’ve had more than my share of lovers.
          • Valkorion: Temporary comforts. I speak of something higher.
          • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty HunterSee Full Conditions [[[Did you marry your companion in the class story, and are not a Smuggler or Bounty Hunter?]]] I already found love. Player: I committed my life to someone. Your children forced us apart.
            • Valkorion: A reunion may yet be possible.
          • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty Hunter NOT See Full Conditions [[[Did you not marry your companion in the class story, and are not a Smuggler or Bounty Hunter?]]] I suppose there’s a chance. Player: Anything’s possible, but not while I’m in carbonite.
            • Valkorion: It is something to consider.
          • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular Jedi cannot love. Player: Love leads to attachment–and that leads to the dark side.
            • Valkorion: Your thinking remains limited. A pity.
          • Trooper OR Smuggler OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty Hunter OR Agent Love doesn’t interest me. Player: I won’t find what I’m not looking for.
            • Valkorion: You may surprise yourself.
      • Zakuul must fall with them. Player:
        • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Smuggler Player: It’s not completely their fault. Zakuul is as corrupt as the Empire.
          • Valkorion: But the Eternal Fleet makes it infinitely more dangerous.
        • Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Bounty Hunter OR Agent Player: I won’t stop with them. Your new empire won’t replace mine.
          • Valkorion: Zakuul is not your enemy. They are.
    • Smuggler OR Bounty Hunter I can kill them, if you want. Player: They won’t go gently, but I guess you can always make more.
    • Jedi Knight OR Jedi Consular OR Trooper OR Sith Inquisitor OR Sith Warrior OR Agent I’ll kill them. Player: You want me to end your bloodline. Consider it done.
    • They follow your example. Player: What did you expect? You’re their role model.
      • Valkorion: I was different here.
    • Where’s their mother? Player: Your wife isn’t around to keep them in line?
      • Valkorion: I made a mistake. I let her go.

Part 11

The player exits the vision of Zakuul.

  • Player: I’m dying….
    • Valkorion: We are being reborn.
      • Lana Beniko: Wake up. We have to go….
