Well you see, its a villains secret lair, that our heroic thieves must steal the -insert plot item- from or otherwise destroy to save the world from -generic villain name here-

It sucks that's what

It's meant to feel like it was entirely out of nowhere and out of place.

I won't say why because IDK if you beat the game already. But if you beat it, you know why.

I don't think the other palaces were so much catering to the thieves so much as they were just the cognition of the rulers.

Granted, I understand what you mean, however I think you might've been reading a bit too much into it. Unless, you are onto something and I'm being too dismissive, in which case I apologize

It was really annoying

Yeah, if you don't get this, maybe you should study more sci-fi. Wasn't this just the entire plot of rouge1?

You know what
I actually wanna know too

I've played the game three or so times and I'm still not entirely sure why it's a giant space station

also it doesnt suck that much
everyone complains but imo its the easiest and shortest palace in the game
git gud fucks

It sucks when you try and brute force the ID puzzle.
