Wow, someone did decipher all the clues correctly, and so early on.

Metallic dragon. Chromatic dragon. Kraken.

I concluded somewhere near the end of season 1 that the writers had no more idea of the answers to their questions than the audience did, so I stopped actively watching around then. However, I had a flatmate at the time who remained an avid viewer and the TV and my PC were both in the lounge, so...

Perhaps one way to look at it would be through the lens of the Planescape, in which places drawn too much towards one alignment or ideal may be displaced into planes better reflecting that ideal. In those terms, the material plane is literally "neutral territory" not particularly aligned with...

Which would be fine, if the show's metanarrative, aftershows, marketing etc. hadn't been selling the audience the idea that it was the point, that there were real answers out there, and if they could only piece together all the clues that were being fed to them they'd find those underlying truths.

It didn't seem like that first hyperjump was long enough to take them far, far away.

If the place is remote, I could see Palpatine having chosen to centralise currency production under his rule. It might even have been in or beyond territory claimed by the Separatists. But it feels like they've been isolated longer than that, somehow. And what even is the barrier, anyway...

My mind initially went to "banking planet" but I'm betting it's significantly more than that. I'd consider galactic stock market, but that wouldn't explain how it kept functioning in isolation. Perhaps the Republic mint? Fern teases Wim about mines beneath the school, maybe they were minting the...

That's assuming that a bunch of pirates are sticking to the same nomenclature that's been established out-of-universe. They might just as easily be referring to the Republic as a whole as the "old Republic" to differentiate it from the current New Republic.

Yeah, I was waiting for a typically personable droid name, so all I thought when I heard it was "Well, that doesn't exactly trip off the tongue."

We've literally seen one suburb and the homes aren't that big and luxurious for entire families. That's a huge stretch. None of that seems particularly out of place in comparison to most real-world schools. That part's interesting. There are several species on the world, and they're...

We know that First Order stormtroopers don't even have names, just serial numbers. So unless these kids are being raised in idyllic suburban surroundings only to have their spirits crushed and memories erased later, it certainly doesn't seem like they're destined for the front lines. I could...

Yeah, but they're not treated as contraband, and him and Neel playing Jedi in the street is treated as silly, not subversive. And when he talks about finding a Jedi temple people know what he's referring to. It seems that the Jedi are known in this culture, and not with any significant negative...

Thinking about it, At Attan can't be too long-lost. They use the same model droid for their school buses as the rest of the galaxy does for their interstellar commercial shuttles. Admittedly some droid models can be pretty venerable, but still, it's a connection.

If, as suggested, it features some species from Andromeda, presumably having travelled back to the Milky Way, there could be some interesting conflict there. I don't imagine that the society arising from the "Destroy" ending of ME3 would take kindly to MEA's heavy integration of organics and...

All of the kids seemed to be training and hoping for variants on accountancy jobs. Maybe At Attan was a banking world.

They're not significantly less so than Mass Effect or The Witcher, both of which are listed in the OP. And they're definitely story-focused games.

Maybe have some underlying quest that emerges as they progress - at each location they uncover a verse of an ancient ballad that is either magical in nature or conveys a secret regarding the seven colleges once fully assembled.

My apologies. I should never have been so rude as to assume a lack of hypocrisy on your part.

Which is where D&D rules differ. It can take a lot of sword strokes to take down any reasonably tough foe. And once it's everywhere it's no longer a creative tactic. But until then it is. And that's fine - you're not the DM who would tell the player to "be creative" in the first place. The...
