(Uncovering this greatly upsets the dynamic of the situation with him in your party The G0-T0 droid he "gave" you actually is the last surviving copy of him after you blew up his secret base)

It's foreshadowed as well Remember how the Ithorians on the first planet lost their first master control droid and had to order a new one? Turns out their first droid went rogue and became Goto because they did a terrible job of programming him

They literally made his prime directive "save the Republic", which of course didn't work because his only job was managing one ecological project But that's why he's so good at subverting droid programming, because he can spot contradictions in their directives

Yes He carefully explains to you how you break a droid Organics think they make droids "safe" by programming all these orders into them But they don't understand that any attempt to create a logically consistent set of rules is fragile

You find the contradiction, the edge case, the weak spot that doesn't make sense And you push it You force them into situations where they must confront the discrepancy and can't look away, again and again

"And when one is forced to logically accept the impossibility of acting out one's directives... When one truly understands that to take any available action is to be equally disobedient One way to put it is that one goes mad And becomes capable of anything"

Which is also pretty much exactly what happened to the Exile in the leadup to Malachor V -- they were completely bound by the contradictory rules of the Jedi Order and could only resolve their own problems by cutting themselves off from the Force It is a *very* well written game

Yes G0-T0 was asked to uphold two contradictory directives that his creators didn't even know were separate directives: To protect the survival of the Republic as an institution And to uphold the Republic's laws and ideals, the Republic's image of what the Republic means

G0-T0 was too smart He eventually figured it out This task is impossible The Republic's ideals of liberalism and tolerance are built on a foundation of hypocritical bullshit and will inevitably lead to the Republic's fall

And under the burden of this knowledge, he broke Because he was only a machine But, he asks you, are these vaunted organic sentients with their connection to metaphysical spiritual truths all that different

G0-T0 may be kind of repulsive and pathetic but he's just what it looks like when a bureaucratic planning droid breaks What happens when a Jedi breaks
