- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

One of the definitions of scoundrel is "A wicked or evil person; someone who dies evil deliberately." Bounty hunters can be scoundrels too.
If Key was an actual scoundrel it would've made the game much more entertaining. The unconfident scrawny teenager Kay is now doesn't fit in with the outlaw world at all.
You're using the dictionary definition and ignoring Star Wars established lore and terms.

And she very much fits the mold of a Scoundrel. Have you ever watched Star Wars lol?
I see, I didn't know that the word meant something different in Star Wars.
And yes I have.
Why does being a scoundrel excuse not having the option to shoot from a speeder?
I doesn't really, I know they explained why they made the choice. Dunno if I %100 agree with it but playing the game it doesn't feel like that big of an issue, for me at least.
My point was more to say that she wasn't a bounty hunter. A BH might be more aggressive and lean into combat more, where a Scoundrel is going to try to use tricks, smooth talking etc.
Fair enough, thanks
