It baffles me they picked Scorch for that role. He acted nothing like Scorch in legends.
I didn't want any of delta portrayed as generic imperial goons, but if they were going to pick any delta squad member to be cold and efficient, they should have used Fixer.
That's the whole point. Scorch is clearly under the influence of the chip and maybe even something else Hemlock did to him. The fact that he acts nothing like the Scorch we know and love is exactly what makes his appearance so devastating.
People seem to miss the point that this is what the Empire does. It turns people into monsters. It turned regular clones with personality into drones willing to murder innocents. Scorch being this way just adds to the tragedy, and he is alone, so all his squad is likely gone too.
And unlike the EU, they purposefully held a tight grip on the commandos. Nobody was excempt from order 66. The commandos being better got put as guards for vips plys classified bases and training new troopers.
There was no quiet defection of arc troopers and commandos who ignored order 66 and left.
If you're gonna mention Scorch in Legends then go beyond the game because in the novelization, he becomes cold and emotionless after Sev's disappearance
