Ivan the Terrible

December. Just enough time to make it under the tree, most likely. A patch had better be available VERY shortly after.

Good point. *cough* Daikatana *cough* On the other hand, when I hear of a surprise bump for the game to be released just prior to the Holiday season, my first thought is of executive greed rather than designer vision.

I hate to be cynical....but that news is less encouraging and more worrisome. Let's hope that random parts of the Ebon Hawk don't show up on planets without the ship upon release.

About freaking time. This forum has been running on fumes for weeks.

Seconded. Jedi and Sith should never be 'grunts'; they should be commanders and 'boss' enemies, rare and exceedingly dangerous.

This is a GREAT idea. Shades of Final Fantasy VI; the team is seperated, by choice or by circumstance, and you get to know more about each character by getting to see them operate alone or in small groups.

I know the Senator from Naboo part (I hope when he took over the Empire, he hunted Gungans to extinction.) But the Sith holocron thing....wasn't the rule, after Darth Bane, that there were to be two Sith, a Master and Apprentice, and they would carry on the Sith tradition? I thought he was just the heir to that long line of Sith plotting and scheming to seize control? If he isn't, does that mean that the Sith line died off completely at some point and he restarted it?

Has there ever, in the history of Star Wars, been an explanation as to Emperor Palpatine's background? How'd he get recruited into the Sith? How did he manage to disguise his power long enough to seize control of the Republic and forge an Empire? For a guy who dominates so much of the series, he's a pretty impressive mystery.

If I were as drunk and stoned as Chris Avellone is right now, and I read this, I would probably laugh if I weren't passed out in a puddle of my own vomit.

Give me some long, flowing Sith robes in the same fashion as those Jedi robes, and I will be a happy man.

In point of fact, my urgent appeal to Obsidian: NOTHING IN THE PREQUELS HAPPENED. NOTHING. THERE IS ONLY ONE STAR WARS TRILOGY. The less KOTOR II draws from the 'prequels', the better.

Y'know, as cool as that picture is....let's not have our Sith in their underwear, shall we?

No way in hell. There are better things for them to focus on.

They're all watching this forum intently, hidden behind anonymous user tags....and naked. Buck naked. Does that turn you on or creep you out?

The Sith 'uniform' (i.e. the poor man's Imperial Officer's uniform) should not have been used by anyone but Sith Officers. Having all the students in the academy wear it was pretty lame. Why couldn't they have just had them wear Sith robes? I don't know.

Having one of the title's 'Sith Lords' join your Dark Side party after you open a can of whoop ass on them would be a good thing.

An ex-party member who develops a grudge and dogs your path the rest of the game.... I like, I like.

That is, relationships with joinable NPCs. The ideal of a non-romantic relationship which is still deeply developed, for me, was Dak'kon in Torment; since, by Chris Avellone's own words, we'll be seeing more developed NPCs as a whole as well as 'romantic' options, any preferences as to the sort of relationship you'd like to see developed? For example, it seems pretty certain the Master-Apprentice angle will be there at the start, with you as the Apprentice. What about a Master-Apprentice relationship with you as the Master? What about a friendly rivalry with one of the NPCs, each of you trying to one-up the other? What about a not-so-friendly rivalry, with the NPC constantly trying to outdo you and thus making you want to hack him into chunky giblets? What about a character whom you can't fully rely on, like an Ex-Sith in a Jedi party who either helps or betrays you later on depending on how you treat him? Any 'relationship' that appeals to you that doesn't involve painfully bad come-ons is fair game.

Seconded.

The one I remember is 'Down you go!' and Mission's 'Just die already!' I agree, hearing them over and over makes them rather annoying. But it was never any big deal....anymore than hearing 'Buttkicking for Goodness!'

For the record, he's much more difficult as a Scoundrel/Consular. You have to do a lot of running around to pick him off.

Why think about it? It's determined on the Leviathan; Malak couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

That would be as lame as making Imoen a Bhaalspawn.

BLASPHEMY! :angry: Tie Fighter was really good.

Yeah, kinda like speargun. ... Sh*t. Never mind.
