Hmm, I like your idea about facing yourself... How about something like this: Once the exile clears out the enemies in the meditation room, he has the option of meditating. He awakes and finds a copy of himself standing behind him and they fight. Now whatever the result, the exile awakens from deep meditation (I'd actually have him open his eyes and shiver if it were possible). If he won the fight he would get some bonuses, if not no bonuses. What do you think?
As for the switches, I can't think of a place where I'd put it. When I was decorating Trayus I tried to make every room of some use to the Sith, so a room that is in itself a defense mechanism wouldn't make sense.
Other ideas we've had:
- Storm beast pen cutscene - not many details on this one, I'm sure there are lots of cool things we can do here.
- The training hall - The heart of the Sith teachings, there would be some of the highest ranking Sith lords here (obviously not Sion and Traya). Big fight after the cutscene.
- The Librarian - Someone who knows a bit more about the Sith teachings on Malachor, in the end you'd kill him of course.
None of the above are set, those are just some of the suggestions we've had until now.
If you have a cool idea about any of the above or your own idea, go ahead and share it with us.
