Didn't he say on the QL or somewhere that he has no expectation of it being on the top 10?
Oh now they're talking about it.

It's amazing Dan likes Star Wars and didn't know about the 2 Sith thing despite it being the whole fucking point of the whole story.

Catching up with the thread and some podcasts and maaaaan...You can't trust the opinions of any person who thinks Mass Effect 3 is a good Bioware game. Sure, it's combat is tighter than its ever been, but thematically, talk about a fucking comedic mess from the outset - Earth is getting invaded and obliterated and your immediate response is to fuck off around space and grind a bunch of missions to build up a meter which is inevitably negated by the bullshit "pick a color" out of nowhere ending helmed by a self-insert for the author. Bioware got too far up their own ass and lost sight of what they were making - an over the top power fantasy hybrid of Captain Kirk and Jack Bauer - and sharted out some attempt at "art" that ultimately said nothing.
Bioware hasn't made a good game since Mass Effect 2 (the ME3 multiplayer is alright, sure) and the constant excuses made for them time and time again as they ape at MMOs ad-nauseum with no rhyme or reason is utterly painful to watch.

Goddamn star wars is dumb.
I don't think it's ever mentioned outside of one line in episode one and Palpatine doesn't even keep to it as he has both Darth Maul and Count Doku under him in the prequels.
Legacy of the Void is a standalone product. Taken King is an expansion pack. Doesn't count.

Rorie and especially Brad are taking that line and making a colossal logical leap from it. The prequel is explicit, but that shit's all retcon anyway.
I don't think I ever got that there could only be two. It's not explicitly said in the original trilogy and I probably didn't pay enough attention to the prequels. If that line Brad quoted is the only line from the original films that shit isn't even implied.

Why do you think the Emperor wants Luke to kill Vader?
I'm totally with Brad.
I'm totally with Brad.
That's not a standalone product, it's a version of Destiny that includes all of the DLC, such as Taken King, which is not a game.

By that logic any GOTY edition of a game from last year that was released this year could be GOTY this year.
Because the Emperor is pure evil. Seems like a leap to say that it is because of some rule of two.
So many possible explanations though.
EDIT: Totally with Dan, even now thinking about the lines from the movie. It sounds like they are inferring it. Like oh, if there is one there must be two.
Isn't the "The Taken King" just a code in the box though? Sounds like DLC to me.
That's just a technicality! Long live the king!

It doesn't matter whether Destiny Loot 2.0 or Starcraft 2.3.0 Heart of the Another Game In 2015 With the word Heart in the Title... are eligible or not...
...neither are top ten material on merit

I think DA:I is a good game. It has issues, but I enjoyed my time with it. Also ME3 mp is one of my favorite mp games ever. Yeah, I'm weird like that. ME3's weird pacing problems would be forgiven too if the ending wasn't total tragic trash, because that game had some killer story beats (Tsuchanka, conclusion of Geth/Quarian story).

Hell of explanations. He knows that Luke has the potential to be the most powerful Sith that has ever lived and could bring about their rise again, and he knows that killing him would complete his transformation to the dark side. See, you can make up all kinds of shit.
Always thought Palpatine wanted the Sith number small so there would be a lower chance for someone to usurp him. Luke and Vader could eventually conspire to take him down and rule the galaxy together if he allowed them both to live.
Yeah, that's always what I assumed.
This sounds like some prequel bullshit to me.

Being british is a pretty easy way to tell if someone is evil, yes.
Anakin did whatever the hell he wanted at every point in his life. I doubt he wanted Palpatine dead in order to follow a rule set in place by a long dead sith, he just wanted him out of the picture.
Edit: Oops, misread your post.

Darth wanted Luke to kill the Emperor. The Emperor wanted Luke to kill Darth. It's pretty clear! They always spoke of themselves as duos.
And like you don't even need to be paying attention to the prequels to understand the rule of two thing.

That was Vader's sales pitch to Luke in ESB, in fact. We can rule the galaxy as father and son, etc etc. Feels like Palpatine knew what Vader was up to, he just wasn't worried about it.
But does that mean that there can only be two? That's what I think is a leap. It seemed clear in the prequels from that clip but I don't remember anything from those.

It's pretty clear there is only ever two. It's pretty much the key plot point from Empire on IMO.

That's exactly what it is. It's just one of those things the prequels felt the need to complicate and over-explain. Sure it's canon now, but Brad is insane to pretend that was the case through the original trilogy.
