  1. Sounds fine to me. A game can never have too many breasts.
  2. I heard that the totally unexpected 'plot twist' is that the Ebon Hawk will be sucked into a black hole, sending it's crew into a wild space battle with the U.S.S. Enterprise. Captain Picard will be recruitable.
  3. I heard T3-M4's secret past as a pleasure droid will be revealed later in the game, to the delight of the Ebon Hawk's female crew.
  4. I heard Revan will accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, and that Chris Avellone has been born-again.
  5. One developer post does not a thread ressurection make.
  6. What, never seen a fat kid dance before?
  7. I think most people here would agree that KOTOR didn't present 'the Dark Side' very convincingly. It's been one of the foremost complaints I've seen (and, for that matter, spoken up about myself.) As such, which character, inside or outside Star Wars, do you think personifies 'the Ideal Sith'? Remembering the debate I had when I first got here with Gromnir about Bioware's use of 'Johnny Quest villains' with no substance, it suddenly struck me that the KOTOR II team includes some of the writers of one of the most perfect examples of what the Sith should be presented as. Thus, my choice: Planescape: Torment's Practical Incarnation. *SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD!* Absolutely perfect! Everything and everyone is a tool to him. He doesn't think twice about manipulating a young woman who loves him for his own benefit, sacrificing her for his own gain without batting an eye. But by the same token, he doesn't waste energy on things that don't benefit him; he doesn't randomly massacre civilians to no good purpose, though he certainly wouldn't hesitate for a second if doing so was to his advantage. 'Mercy' isn't neccesarily a weakness to him, because when he shows mercy to Morte on the Pillar of Skulls or Dak'kon in Limbo, he gains an advantage far beyond if he had simply left them to suffer. He essentially treats all of life as a giant game of chess, in which he sacrifices or spares pawns based purely on their use to him. By contrast, if he had been a KOTOR Sith, he would have randomly let out evil belly laughs, randomly tossed in the adjectives 'pitiful', 'pathetic', 'worthless' to describe everything from his underlings to his cup of coffee in the morning, and thrown away advantages because he didn't want to show 'mercy.'
  8. That Sith ghost on Korriban who whines and moans like a little girl about how much he regrets turning to the Dark Side.
  9. I always thought he was talking about the Star Forge.
  10. *shrug* Honestly, how interesting the character is concerns me more than seeing any particular race.
  11. Are you saying that Carth is the one who actually bombed Telos into dust? EDIT: Ignore this post. In retrospect, it makes absolutely no sense.
  12. I wonder if she'd do it Wookie style for an extra 25 cents?
  13. I wonder if there's a law in the Star Wars galaxy against Wookiephilia?
  14. This is also the man who gave us Midicloriens (or however you spell it), the virgin birth of Anakin skywalker, Greedo shooting first, Ewoks, Howard the Duck, Willow (sorry, hated that movie), and (last but most certainly NOT least) Jar-Jar Binks. He had a few hits in his early career....but my god if he isn't missing every swing now. Whatever he touches nowadays seems to turn to sh*t. Be inspired by his early work, by all means....but the less Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones in TSL, the better.
  15. Sorry. The words 'inspiration' and 'George Lucas' used together set off alarm bells in me.
  16. Note to the devs. If you use anything having to do with George Lucas for inspiration aside from the original Star Wars, may someone cut off your collective nuts and put them in a blender.
  17. Heh. My thoughts exactly. I think whoever wrote the dialogue options for the Bastila romance must have been a very lonely person; either that, or they had watched Han Solo at work in EST wayyyy too many times.
  18. Nope. He's less of a whiny b*tch as a Female, but even then I laughed out loud when I killed him on the Star Forge.
  19. I second the sentiment. Ravel's love for the Nameless One is anything but 'cliched' and 'pre-teen.'
  20. What can I say? I love the dance. B)
  21. Sounds like a 'The Darkest Day'-style mod; as in, quantity over quality. I'll pass.
  22. For the record.... Carth was impotent. That was the source of his frustration. All that crap about his family was just made up. And Dustil was adopted.
