Meshugger

Classical music is something that exists in every household where i've been. There's always a cd-compilation called something in the vein of "Great Classics", with Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Sibelius and so on in everybodys cd-library (I'm guilty of this myself). Jazz on the other hand, i've always had a bad experience with. In most of my listenings, it's composed of complex diffirent interludes, mixed together to resemble a melody. The drummer drums in polyrythms, while interesting approach, it cripples the song-structure IMO. Not to mention the lyrics, yuck! I would be glad if Lyric Suite would provide some tips of Jazz-bands that don't do music for the sake of being technical.

Bah, there's other cards that are better than Creative and even have features that the X-Fi doesn't have, to an even cheaper price. The Hitec HDA Xplosion. Features: - C-Media CMI8770 PCI chipset (8CH audio single chip with DTS

IIRC, Ludo Kressh and the rest of his fleet/army disappeared after the war with Naga Sadow. They could be the remnants that still rule somewhere in the outer regions.

My intention was that on your journey as a padawan with your master, he/she will get more apprentices that you will help on their training and joining your party. This will also give the player the option to go whatever planet he wants in any order (say 4-5 planets with atleast one possible apprentice on each. This could replace the "find the star maps" or "find the missing Jedi Masters"). Some will die if you turn DS and some will turn DS aswell and aid you. Likewise when doing LS, some will abandon/try to kill you when you make the choice. And yes, if LS before the great battle, i wrote that you will get special training from the Jedi Masters. I thought that the location wasn't that important

Looks like it's a must buy then

The people at their forum are blaming the swarm of Oblivion-fanboys spamming the forum into collapse.

Chefe at the rpgcodex has his "first impressions" posted aswell. Hilarious

Why do i instantly hear the tune "Up where we belong" by Joe C0cker(stupid filter) when i see that picture? I wonder....

True, true.

Actaully, i know about no other than George Broussard and Scott Miller. Either there's no other, or those who are employed at 3DRealms aren't braging about it.

Haha :D They can sit and make DNF for as long as they like. They already have the funding from Take 2, and from other projects that they produce, such as Max Payne, Max Payne 2 and Prey.

I'll buy it on friday. Then i'll finally be able to see what the Xbox360 is capable of

F*CK YEAH! or something...

If you count the Indie-developers as "established" in the industry, then yes

"Normal" has a pretty long learning-curve, but when you get into it, it's awesome to say the least.

Atleast there's some people playing it already. It was leaked earlier today. Most firstlooks said: "Don't download the damn thing, buy it".

Ninja Gaiden is one of the best action/adventure games out there. When you've completed it, you really feel accomplished something

Upon request, i'll fill in with my version: The game starts on a desolate planet, let's take Tatooine for the sake of the argument, where a person at the age of 18-22 (you select the gender) is minding its own business at dunes. The camera shows a ship, or even the Ebon Hawk, landing in the far distant horizon. Our main character goes out to check it out and finds two droids, well known from the previous KotOR's, emerging from the ship. The big red one with an attitude demands that you will take them to the nearest Republic officer, and the other just gives beeps or boops (our character should not know droid-speak...yet). After a failed inquiry (you get to know no information from the droids aside from some insults, referring to meat-bags), you drop them of at local settlement, where they find some transport to the admiral of local fleet. The red droid wants you to keep watch over their spaceship while they're gone. Having nothing better to do, you agree. Later in the evening, at you familys house, your little brother wants a goodnight-story of Revan. From here, you can tell if it went DS/LS and if Revan was male/female. In the middle of the night, you hear blaster-shots coming from the ship. You go up, grab your blaster-rifle, and see that some mercenaries are trying get into ship by force. You try to ask them what the big deal is, but they immidiately attack you. But since you are force-sensitive, you win, to your own suprise easily, leaving them all dead. You decide to stay and watch over the ship the rest of the night. In the morning, a platoon of republican troops arrive with the commander outraged. It seems as they were on a shortage men, and hired some mercenaries to guard it. You try to explain that they didn't followed their orders, but the commander takes you to anchorhead(or any bigger settlement with a spaceport) for an inquiry. While in prison, you share the cell with another person, charged for something minor such as dancing naked and drunk at the middle of the street. He asks you your name, and asks if your father served at the re-building of Telos. As it turns out, both he and your father served there during the attack of Nihilus, and both retired because of the wounds inflicted. He then proceeds to asks about the Exile and the conversation should go something like this. The prisoner: "You heard about the Exiled Jedi who almost single-handedly saved Telos a few years ago? You know, where your father and i was stationed at the time". You: "Some parts of it, i was just a teenager then, but i heard from my father, that he even got some orders from the Exile directly." Prisoner: "Yeah, but he never told anything about the appearance or bahaviour of the Exile. It didn't matter much then, but i heard later that the Exile and the crew dissapeared". You: "Well, my father didn't know where the Exile went, but i remember him saying that..." From here you answer something in the vein of "He/She was ruthless and didn't seem to care about the others" or "He/She acted like a Jedi should, my father couldn't understand why He/She was exiled in the first place". Thus, now the gender of the Exile and Revan and their alignments are set. Later, during the trial, the judge is suprised by your combat abilities, but after the matter is cleared, it turns out that you have to go to Coruscant, because some people want to give you their thanks. Being young and adventurous, you agree. Fast-forward to the ship traveling to Coruscant. The shipped is attacked by some pirates, spacebandits or whatever you may call them, but you have to fight again. This time, a Jedi is at the ship and feels that "you're strong in the force" or something like that. After beating them up, the Jedi asks about your upbringing, your business to Coruscant and so on. Depending on your answers earlier, this can either be Juhani/Bao-Dur or just some regular expendable nameless Jedi. You arrive to Coruscant and you are suprised (yeah, right!) that the Jedi counsil are the ones who would like to thank you. Here you meet the droids, and even Bastila if you've set your priorities right. It seems as the droids had a message from Revan and the Exile, telling about the republic has to be ready for the imminent threat. In order to make my story to make some sense, i have to go Kreia-style: Revan and the Exile had to do evil things in order to able to fight evil. Thus, even if your Revan was DS at the end of KotOR, he/she got their memories back and understood that the evil they undertook was necessary. Even the Exile agrees and says, that he/she regrets the losses of those who suffered, but he/she NOW realizes that it was for greater good. (This lousy try makes somewhat sense if the Exile was LS. If DS, then he trained some people in the dark side of the force, and later met up with Revan to find out the truth.) Due to situation, the counsil agrees to train you in the force in order to help you to fight this "unknown threat". After some basic training, you can do some missions around Coruscant. When you become Padawan, you can now go with your master(a new NPC!) around the Outer Rim freely (flying in the Ebon Hawk), searching for clues. Let's say that there's 4 different planets that you can visit. From here you can start deciding on which path you shall take (DS/LS). You will assemble your party gradually during your visits. This time, the mandalorians are on the republic's side under Mandalore Ordo, which you will meet. He will answer some questions about Revan/The Exile and you can do some missions for him. Later, HK-47 shows up, and you can do some missions involving his personal droid-army of HK-50(this will probably the comedic part of the game). When all the planets are visited, quests done and so on, you will report about it back to Coruscant. On your way back, a weird-designed ship(OMG! OMG! tr00 Sith!) highjacks you and your party. It's mission-time a l

Him or Will Wright, i wouldn't be suprised of either.

Which means that you can buy it a local market the day before it's released in gameshops, well in Finland atleast. To give an example, Halo 2 was released on november 11th, 2004 in the major electronic/game-shops in Finland. I bought my copy the 10th at a local supermarket.

So did you get to the part where we find out about Dak'kon's past and who gave him the Circle in the first place? That was one of the things that made me shiver - rather like finding out Ravel's various 'incarnations'. How much INT is needed for that? I don't think I ever managed to crack it. Yup, thought it was a bit funny how you start talking like a crackpot afterwards, th ough. Thing is, though, it's stupid *not* to play with high int/wis in PS:T, everything else is inferior, not different. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> - To first quote: Yes, agreed. - To the second quote: i think that you need an INT of 18, it didn't matter for me though, since i had a INT of 24 - To the third quote: Yep, i've learned that now.

Since the Xbox360 is 20 minute arcade-machine at the moment, i decided to finish my round PS:T that i started a month ago. This time i was a mage, which required a high INT, which lead to many new interesting dialogue-options that i didn't have the previous time(and first). Also, i noticed that i didn't complete all quests the last time. So my experience was further enhanced by: (Warning! Spoilers!) - I had the INT to play with Dak'kon's circle of Zerthimon(spelling?) and finding out more about him and his (not so true)teachings. - Finding out that Xachariah was a zombie at mortuary, and you could have talk with him. - After Ravel's maze i went to talk to Mebbeth. Excellent writing, a pinnacle of the game. - I didn't have Nordom or Vhailor at my party the last time( i didn't even meet them), this time i did. - When talking to the good incarnation at the fortress of regrets i found out that he was the very first incarnation. The story and reasons on why he wanted to become immortal shed a whole new light to story for me IMO. - I finally had the INT to able to use the Bronze sphere and got to know my original name. - I had the WIS the ask TTO the question and argue about "What can change the nature of a man?" - I had the WIS to make TTO merge with me, no need to blackmail with the blade of immortal this time. - And several more dialogue-options that added to the atmosphere of the game. Overall, it just made the whole story much better than it already was. It may not be the best RPG ever, maybe one of the best. But the story is the best that i've experienced, bar none.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I said I'd never post on the K3 Ideas and Suggestions Forum Topic again but I guess I was wrong. I'm back. Meshugger, no offence but your storyline is based on a LS Revan and LS Exile and WOULD NOT WORK. Why? Because what about us darksiders? Also, it is not impossible to make a storyline for K3 that covers all gender and alignment combo's of Revan and the Exile, Obsidian did it with Revan and I think they handled it perfectly. But I have to say, I get really pissed off when I see K3 storyline proposals on the Internet that are based on fixed LS Revan's and LS Exile's and have Revan and/or the Exile as the main characters instead of a new main character. This is where I hope Obsidian do K3 if they make one. They have excellent, creative writers, I hope no one else does K3 becauseI reckon it will be narrow-minded garbage. If K3 is made then I pray for one thing. To be able to CHOOSE what gender and alignment Revan and the Exile were. I think I'm not alone here and I SHOULD NOT be alone on this issue. They shouldn't make K3 if you cannot do this. Also, it pisses me off when people say Carth should have a big role in K3? NO! Only if Revan is set as LS, otherwise, he's dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now, now, let's not get too hasty here, shall we? I respect your seriousness in this subject, but this is just loose framework that i thought of in 5 minutes. Carth can be changed to any admiral, and Bastila can be changed to Visas and it would still fit with a DS storyline

My vision of KotOR III hasn't changed since the previous threads, thus
