Ten million diffirent lightsaber combinations I wonder when Topaz will a have poll with each one of those to select from. "Which lightsaber combination do you prefer?"

Somehow, I don't think the folks at LA would let Obsidian do a trick that obvious again. I think it's more likely when you get on Onderon you have a choice between aiding The Queen (Atris?) or the Sith seperatists. If you aid the Sith, you get Visas Marr. If you aid the Queen she sends one of her handmaidens to assist you. After you kick Jedi/Sith tail, your party member asks the Queen/Sith Lord if she can join your crusade and bam! One of your NPC slots is now filled. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One side, i find it interesting having her as the Queen of Onderon, it really puts this game into a whole new perspective. But one can now discard her as the potential love-interest, meh.

Final Fantasy XII will not be released until late 2005, so TSL holds my interest for the time being.

Bah, they shouldn't have shown Vader in trailer, it should've been saved for the viewer.

Shedding light on who are the voice actors...

Usually these kinds of info could be found on imdb.com, but i haven't found anything under 'Knights of the Old Republic II' though. -
Story, story and story.

I find feature of being able to fight with your hands as a selective option a bit interesting, compared to KotOR, where's it was equal to suicide. Same thing with the emphasis on mid-ranged weapons.

Look what i found at the somethingawful forums:

hehe, nope... just lost track of my quote... meshugger... and, again, i never said all engineers are conservative/libertarian. just most. tricritical is essentially an engineer and, like you, openly liberal. i don't particularly hold it against him. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No harm taken. I should've quoted correctly, but laziness caught me. My notation as an engineer with liberal views was just a funny sidenote to the discussion as a whole.

I'm not interested such gimmicks such lightsaber-colors/hilts, the amount of forcepowers, cloaks and so on. Story, music, dialogue and characters is king. And don't compare Halo to KotOR. I've played both, and they are good in their own specific genre, having a pissingcontest with those as contenders is a loose-loose situation.

oops... by the time i got to the bottom i thought i was quoting kumquat, assuming that's what you were referring to? taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, no problem. To add to engineers being more conservative and the other blablabla...guess what, i'm an engineer and my views would apply as "liberal"

you're making a slippery slope argument, i.e. not based on any real facts. furthermore, welfare is precisely the mechanism that keeps poor people poor. yes, it is the issue. this is the very reason some average americans don't have insurance. if we didn't have these predatory practices in place by foreign governments, things would be cheap enough to afford. given that 95% of the population believes in a higher power, why is this an issue? religion is probably the number one driving force in the world, to think that people wouldn't vote based on that is naive at best. there's plenty of money already. unfortunately, as with all government run social programs, they are so horribly inefficient they can't function properly. why is it that private schools on average cost less per student than public yet consistently perform better in testing? also, government regulations do not inspire teachers, good or bad. they instead create an environment where passing the standardized test is all that matters. critical thinking is traded in for passing the next test. furthermore, self centered organizations such as the NEA put teacher equality at a higher level than performance. any unionized organization is only as good as its lowest common denominator, or worst teacher as it is. everybody is paid the same, so why try? Hopefully it will work, but i haven't seen any figures that indicate that the amount of fringe benefits for the regular worker have risen, not to mention that people have to have 2-3 jobs in order to support their family. uh, what's this got to do with being a safe place to work? i think you misplaced this reply... btw, people don't need 2-3 jobs to support their families, they need 2-3 jobs to support their families and maintain a higher standard of living than they can otherwise afford. big difference. perhaps, but that still doesn't mean the bush administration ignores the environment. the environmentalists would have us believe the BA is kowtowing to big oil and other industry pressure, when in fact, most of the harsh regulations environmentalists would impose would crush our economy. change is good, and preserving the environment is as well. however, if such changes hurt us economically, we become less efficient and, in the end, do more damage to the environment in the long run. we're not showing the world the middle finger. we're defending our interests. the other nations were compromised by their ties to middle east oil. how are they qualified to judge our actions? compromise is fine, but it needs to be reasonable. also, there's an obvious agenda there (weakening our position) that can't be overlooked. it's not the US' fault that we're more efficient, produce more and enjoy a higher standard of living than most. if the rest of the world wants the same things, than maybe they ought to pay attention to how we got here... not sure how this is relevant, but all i said is that there isn't nearly as much of a "divide" as kerry-edwards would have you believe. liberal and conservative labels are just that: labels indicating which side of a fence you're standing on. the fence moves around, too. the divide was proposed as a way to wedge away swing votes and make them feel like they had to "choose a side"... mostly a political ploy. most americans are quite moderate (conservative to europe) and will always be that way. the only real split is iraq and that's fueled mostly by the media... btw, the "angry mob" scenario you speak of is the reason we are not a democracy, but a republic. furthermore, you may scoff at the republicans "pulling your strings" but what exactly happens when a democrat raises my taxes? basically, the "angry mob" is telling me that my personal property must be used to help others, whether i like it or not. it goes both ways kumquat... taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it seems that we both have our separate views over these matters in our own little spin alley. I'll probably never agree with you, since these are idealistic matters mostly. To summorize this election: Gays suck and spending rocks. P.S. What's up with the "it goes both ways kumquat"?

Akari said he would be a new class. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In that case, i would guess something in the line of a technician. (I don't remember all classes in Star Wars d20)

I'm guessing for soldier, none of the other characters in your party seems to be one.

Is there anybody registerd in the kotor1 forum?

I'm under the same username at the Bioware boards, but i haven't posted there for about 6 months. -
What i'm more concern with is the rich/poor ratio. Hopefully it won't be 150 millionares and 150 million poor in the future. That's not a foundation of stable society IMO. This wasn't the issue, it's more of the avarage american availability to healthcare that doesn't make him/her broke from being sick I'm concerned with voters voting for a candidate based on religious morals than more important key-issues. Almost agreed, sometimes money is the key when it comes to give students up-todate books, proper renovation and building a better enviroment studying. Of course, there should be good teachers that inspire students to learn, and the ability of critical thinking, which doesn't always come from the sheer amount of money. Hopefully it will work, but i haven't seen any figures that indicate that the amount of fringe benefits for the regular worker have risen, not to mention that people have to have 2-3 jobs in order to support their family. Well, that's just a matter of opinion on how much conservation of the enviroment that you want to do. I would like to do more, just be in the safer seat. Showing the world the middle finger isn't a solution either. Most things are grey, and need much compromising between nations in order to solve problems. It's not exactly that you want to go similar diplomatic climate that existed in the pre-WWII era. What happened to compassionate conservative image? With that attitude, it's the angry mob that pulls all the strings on the expense of the other. That's not strength, that's a weakness.

Well, Kerry just conceded, congrats to Bush. It seems like rhetorics like "For a safer America" and "The highest priority of the President is to protect his people" succeeded in this election. I'm interested in how the following matters will develop under Bush 2004-2008 - The gap between the rich and poor. - Healthcare and drug policies. - Religion. - Education. - Work-safety. - Enviromental issues. - General foreign policy (Will the take it or leave it-attitude continue, will another country get invaded/liberated?) Nothing shows that Bush will try to unite America though

A very short article at RPGVault
Meshugger replied to funcroc's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I found this statement interesting: Highly speculative, but interesting nontheless. -
I wonder if some of the questions asked reflect situations in the game or are they just teaser questions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would be a nice subtle "addon", if true ofcourse.
