I don’t know if anyone else has posted about this, but I like thinking about Valkorian’s after-effects on your character.
I mean, yeah there’s going to be psychological backlash, especially with characters who have a history with him, like the Knight, Consular, and Warrior. They’re gonna need therapy after spending all that time petrified that he was going to take over them any second.
But more than that, the Force effects. If memory serves, when you’re playing a Force-sensitive character in Visions in the Dark, Satele says that Valkorian has strengthened your connection to the Force, to the point that she infers that you’re probably the strongest Sith/Jedi alive now (Arcann and Vaylin aside of course).
She says something different for the non-sensitives, but I can’t remember what exactly. Either way, if he base boosted an existing connection, it wouldn’t be that big a step to forge a connection. That may be why our non-sensitive characters can stand with the big boys and it makes sense for him to connect you to the Force since he plans on making you his new skin suit anyways. Whether he’s boosting a connection or making it from scratch, he’d probably keep it quiet, shield your new/extra Force-sensitivity from yourself and the other Force-y people around you.
The part I like thinking about, is after you kill him, now you have to live with the effects.
A Sith/Jedi character might get frustrated with their clumsiness as they try to adapt to their new strength. A simple Force-pull might accidentally crush the thing they’re pulling, etc. I can imagine irritated Sith stalking into the Force enclave to grudgingly learn new meditation techniques, and the Jedi’s impressive patience wearing thin as they’re forced to go over the basics AGAIN.
But the real fun is with the non-sensitives.
Assuming their abilities were non-existent before, now they’re having to deal with shit floating when they’re angry, and little sparks shorting out their datapads when they get frustrated or surprised.
I’m not saying that they’re strong enough in the Force to actually wield it effectively, but it is strong enough to give them absolute HELL for the first few months after Valkorian’s death.
Imagine Lana dragging a newly Force-sensitive Smuggler, kicking and screaming, down to the Enclave and threatening them into staying until they can control themselves.
An Agent reading through all the related information, but still stumbling through the initial exercises like a lowly initiate.
A Trooper grumbling among a gaggle apprentices and padawans half their age.
And a Bounty Hunter, who’s used to getting results, getting more and more frustrated with the slow pace of mastering this new challenge.
