Yes, it can. This is great news. Trial By Fire is one of the greatest games ever created. The beta went really fast, then.

And then there was this.

*shrugs* Better than having Oblivion as the gold standard.

Joe Biden? That's the guy who plagiarised Neil Kinnock! (You need to be British truly to understand how sad that is. )

Controversy in the Taekwondo!!! Sarah Stevenson of Britain lost to Zhong Chen in the quarter-final. Stevenson's final kick to the head looked to have scored two points and got her the victory, but the judges didn't see it. She went out. Then Britain appealed, and the appeal was upheld (apparently this is unprecedented). Now Stevenson is waiting to come on for her semi-final, the Chinese have re-appealed, and the crowd seems determined to keep shouting until the local favourite is reinstated.

No, RPG history begins with Mass Effect. There's nothing before that.

Welcome to the forums, Alucard. As you've also posted this (correctly) in the KotOR3 discussion thread, I can lock this thread.

Welcome to Kotor3: Ideas, Suggestions and Discussion part 26. The purpose of this thread is to have a place for all discussion and speculation relating to future single-player KotOR games. For any discussion about the announced LucasArts-Bioware MMO please go here. There is a lot of interest in this topic and keeping everything centralised is more useful than having multiple threads scattered throughout the forum. While I know members who've been here a long time may find this discussion a somewhat elderly and done-to-death topic, please keep in mind that there are new members arriving all of the time, and to them, this might be a new and current topic of interest that they wish to discuss. Please be courteous and hospitable to all members, and avoid spam and trollish behaviour. If you don't wish to participate in K3 discussions, then DO NOT POST. Have fun! Here are the links to the past threads: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

There could be fewer no-value gems in the world, I agree. Or the no-value gems could just default to a no-value gem bag and be sold en-masse. It's also the fact that everything on the inventory screen is so small, especially on high-resolution settings.

Potions in the potions section, scrolls in a book - even Oblivion did it better. It's just a great big disorganised mess, that's what it is.

Please tell me they've improved the inventory screen. Please?

Romances are great! Sure, make them optional, but put them in for those of us who appreciate them. Have they said what kind of modable it will be? As much as I've enjoyed all the user-created mods for NWN, I think I prefer the BG approach of modders improving and expanding the original campaign, adding NPCs, romances and subquests to that rather than creating new worlds from scratch.

I'm closing this thread for a time-out. I'm very unhappy at the aggressive and disrespectful posting behaviour I'm seeing here. Apologies to those who have been making constructive contributions - please be patient, and this thread will re-open within 24 hours, I promise.

I can't imagine myself playing anything that resembled MMORPGs that have existed before, but the LucasArts-Bioware website, brief as it is, puts such emphasis on Bioware's storytelling pedigree that I find myself wondering. Maybe they do have an idea of how to get good stories and characters into something like an MMORPG. If so... Nah, probably just marketing spin.

Of course it is. I'm sure Mike's desk will be suitably cluttered (should he have one).

One of those health-conscious super-spies who spend hours in the gym every day? Potted plants improve office workers' health.

Look at this desk. This is the desk of a psychopath. Where are the executive stress toys, the family photos, the pencil holder? Come on, Obsidian, would a potted plant kill you?

Nothing as yet. A subforum is one possibility but I don't want to preclude others.

Let's keep this polite and respectful, eh? I appreciate there are strong opinions about KotOR - that's why we're here.

KotOR2 doesn't really work with integrated graphics - there may be some exceptions, but a lot of people have come to these boards with integrated graphics and I don't remember them getting the game to run very often. You need to get a graphics card - these days, probably even the cheapest of budget cards will run KotOR2 successfully.

Trial By Fire (remake)

I doubt traffic as such has increased all that much, but I agree that there seem to be a lot of short tech help threads crowding out the story/character threads. If others feel the same way, we could look at possible alternative arrangements? What do you think?

Not terribly colour co-ordinated. Trinny and Susannah would not approve.

Oh so very briefly. A supposed 'war of words' between Britain and Australia over who will have more medals is featuring a lot in the UK press - I wonder if the Australians know or care about it.

Russia distributing passports in the Crimea. Only an accusation, of course, and from a source that holds no love for Russia, but is it really so hard to believe they would do the same again in Ukraine?
