Cutting the Cord - An act of defiance or a display of brutality?

OK... been meaning to post this for a week, but kept on forgetting about it... 
:P
So, Cloaked Intentions, final mission Cutting the Cord, after going through the maze, and finally getting to Hakeev in the courtyard.
There is a nice new dialogue between him and Sela. which I like...
Sela basically tells him that he failed and that he should never had brought the iconians into this, and beams away.
So then you are left to fight Hakeev, and being a RR officer, the event plays out diferently than I remeber from Fed point of view.
Ok, I know this is a little long winded... sorry...
But when you and Obisek finally defeat Hakeev... I remember the first time through this with a Fed character he just dies.
Haven't played it as a KDF character, but with my Fed aligned Rom...
He makes some kind of small speech and then you blast him right there on the spot :eek:
WHAT?!?!?!
And Obisek is just standing there watching you.
I was like , WOW! What just happened?
Is it me, or was that a little cold blooded?

Fed aligned doesn't mean you are a fed. You are Romulan, and you have fed as allied, they help you, and you help them. Sometimes.
And I might add that for pure Fed and KDF characters now, replaying Cutting the Cord, Obisek does the exact same thing your Romulan did
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
A-men to that.
Personally, i thought it was cool gunning him down on the spot. He deserved it.
That's what i like about the Romulans, you're not overally passive like Feds or OTT aggressive like a KDF
Ditto, I liked what they did.
I had mixed feeling at the moment, but it wore of fast.
Mind you all... I'm not complaining about this. Just wanted to get other reactions.
Enjoy!
Although for me the impact was lost due to a tiny glitch the first time around. My Rom is a melee tac, so I was busting up Hakeev's face with a sword. When the cutscene came, my sword didn't disappear so it looked like I shot him with my sword. On one hand it was funny since dude, I shot Hakeev with a sword. On the other, because it was funny the impact of finally killing the SOB was lost. Oh well, it is what it is lol. :P

Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
Or brain wash him into becoming a farmer raising epoahs
Or maybe have blown him out an airlock
:eek: ROFL!!!!!
Although on second thought, that was exactly the safest way to do it, apprehendng him or anything that lets him live a moment more brings the risk that he might escape/be saved and get to roam around the galaxy again. No sir, his time is up, right here, right now. :cool:

as haveek's plans fall away from him without any furious diatripe, he and his plans fall into obscurity. or something close this as i recall from before LoR.
but anything with hakeeve in it, i cant help but smile, its so fun having him in a fight and then typically watch him run away. you can finally take hakeev down. i enjoyed hakeev's role so much i named my ship after him.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Personally, I would have hung him from the gates of New Romulus after running my sword though him. Or, have him half hanged, drawn, and quartered.

Why are you not rejoicing?
it may be cold blooded from a human standpoint, today or in the 25th century but you are not playing a human.
not to mention the man is a monster. he is basically responsible for everything in some way or another. the destruction of romulus, the destruction of your new colony world, the hunting down of the remans. he is about as evil as they come. if he did not deserve it then i dont know who does.
Romulan Intro Movie
"...You will do as you must..."
"...our legacy cannot be lost to villains..."
"...bury the past..."
"...we must break the strong who would destroy us..."
"...we must fight against any and all.."
FOR WE
ARE
ROMULAN!
It's the 25th century. Swords are now swiss army knives (do it all)
LOL
As for it being cold-blooded, you bet it is, and Hakeev deserves every minute of it.
Think about it like you might have if you had actually been your character.
As the story went on you found out that the wholesale destruction of Romulus / Remus, the deaths of billions of your people (quite possibly family and friends), the destruction of your way of life, the attacks on the survivor's colonies, the capture of, experimentation on and conversion of survivors by the Elachi where all planned and executed by Hakeev.
Sure some of it lies with Taris and some with Sela but most of what happened lies completely at Hakeev's feet.
Personally, he'd have died slower than if he was in the belly of the all might sarlaac.
