Yes, it does sound better overall, although there are a couple of quirks here and there (could just be my perception). But yes, I doubt they'd be any match for the original music files which I'm sure they've got archived somewhere at Obsidian or Skywalker Sound. As a side note, I'm still in Rome Total War "mode", and that battle music wouldn't be a bad addition to it...

Buy now = Buy later - the game you buy will be the same. Yes, you won't be able to play it till later but it seems like you don't want to play it now anyway till patch comes out. So I say definitely buy....just not now.

Normally I'd say avoid any guides and walkthroughs until you've finished the game at least once, but since you say four times....I don't think spoilers will be a problem.

You can have it both ways, sort of. Either buy the game when it goes discount, or wait for the patch to come out and see if it fixes up the bugs,

During my first (and so far the only) game I was suprised that I could train someone to be a Jedi (so much so that they became Jedi class rather than just a few little upgrades here and there). Anyway, the people you can "convert" into Jedi are Mira, Bao-Dur, Disciple, Handmaiden, and Atton. It's all Influence. If you have high enough Influence, you'll be able to dig through their conversations and eventually get the Jedi training option - try a search for Influence and Jedi, and you there'll be threads like "How to get Bao-Dur Influence" and stuff like that. There's also an Influence guide floating around somewhere.

From all the promos I thought Atris and Nihilus would be the two extremes your character could go. Did you ever see the animating flash which fades between Atris and Nihilus with the perfectly lined up saber and face/eyes. Now I just think he's a Selkath in disguise

Right you are, thank god that didn't cross his mind <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He would have if he was copying the Handmaiden instead of Darth Maul.

Nihilus, a Selkath in disguise....

I don't use any Customizing programs. Use to, but then found out they would sometimes cause a big hassle. I change themes (all are homemade, but not homedrawn, I'm more of a converter/touch-up) every once and a while but here's my current one: My LCD res. is 1400x1050 Rome Total War Theme (yup, I've been playing it) and this was my previous theme (it matches my Avatar/Forum name more): Simpsons Duffman Theme hmm, not sure why I'm posting in this.... "

I would've like mass transit, but the fill-ins I know about are, the Speeder on Nar Shadda (which people have some quest problems with...) and the Dxun guide who takes you to the camp from your ship (not sure about other way around).

Maybe they're still trying to cook up a decent timetable and story (with everything filled...)

My NPC's cast heal every now again, which is good. Although I think I didn't use Jedi Support because they seem to go overkill with me and use up a lot of Force Powers repetitively, (like you said, activating powers not needed at the time). Also I've had them use things like Force Valor, even though I had used Master Valor.

Incase you missed the above label, this was from the JediMaster.net site. - I don't think it was any school work - This is April 19, 2003 I think, maybe 2002, so his legacy was around when KotOR 2 weapons were being designed. - A Golf Ball Retriever at school....possible, but strange. - The "someone" who added special effects was apparently a guy from Raven software! And the important finale, who would've figured his "mock lightsaber" was going to become a real Star Wars weapon " (haha, close enough). Someone should make a mod which renames or ads it as a new weapon: (Handmaiden Staff or Force Pike right?) SWK's 'Lightsaber' Double-Handed Melee Sword Dexterity -10 Awareness -10 Security -10 (not much involved in guarding his private moment) Immunity: Mind Affecting (he's in a world of his own...) Bonus Feat: Laugh the Enemy until they can no longer fight.

Lots of games are introduced/previewed on E3 years before they come out (although I'm mainly just assuming this from HL2, haha). If they did do something for E3, it would probably only be a CGI Movie teaser trailer, since I think it's too early to have already written a game engine to make a trailer of. I wanna go E3...*_* Australia. (Yay! Lego Star Wars).

(cough)...Visas...(cough) From I'll destroy you to I want you is not odd? From DS Servant to Very very very High LS (yep, that's me) instantly...

This thread is just a bit of fun, nothing serious I suppose. Take a punt, even if you don't like Pazaak. Who would win in a Pazzak match between Suvam Tan, and the Pazaak Den Champ (the rodent, not you )? Assume Suvam doesn't have any of those new cards (I don't remember what cards the rat/Champ had). So each player has their respective AI and decks. I think Suvam, since his AI is not as stupid. K2 AI compromises too much, like playing cards just to get to 19, not 20. Besides, whenever Suvam gets dealt a card he'll get to 20 anyway! (although I didn't vote (3) since I think the AI is his major advantage)

Maybe Suvam Tan, but he's *too* much of a loner.

So what the heck did crushing the planet again (reactivating it) have to do with anything. All I can think of it doing is bring the planet pieces together (again), to try and score a direct collision between the Sith Academy and one of the pieces, although the whole deal of the Sith Academy surviving did send me the message that it was protected by some Dark Side thing. (except that weird green glow disappears)

Everyone (generalising) who finishes the game the first usually asks these questions (I was going to but then I saw how many posts there were on it). Maybe someone sticky one of these threads (or a new one).

Simpsons Marge vs. the Monorail Episode: (Nimoy & Quimby) N: "I'd say this vessel could do at least Warp 5" Q: "...and let me say, 'May the Force be With You!' " N: "Do you even know who I am?" Q: "I think I do. Weren't you one of the Little Rascals?" Good work!

I prefer my deepness things in movies, not games. Games are supposed to be fun and KotOR 1 did a way better job of that. How could you apply that to the characters? There were no character side quests, very odd character behaviour (Visas), half the options to explore characters are blocked by influence, and even then it doesn't really go anywhere.

Mod-wise it would be rather impractical. I do like the idea though. I was really taken up by the early Atris concept art-work, and the whole Nihilus/Atris linedup fading flash, and the fact that most of the promo and downloadable material involves them the most. (I think most K2 modders capable of stuff at this level are hard working on the Droid Factory anyway)

I've always wondered how people put a number of Influence. Do they just use the Save Game Editor to check?

April 1st is now a blackspot for anything good cos well, nothing can be trusted. People choose whether they fear Friday 13th, but with April Fools the choice is theirs, not yours (you don't choose when to play a joke). Luckily nothing has happened to me today...yet

As long as it doesn'tn become a Half-Life 2 development wise, I'll be happy. In some ways without those super-dooper graphics (which I won't be able to get ), or just the hype/popularity, they would've been sunk. Maybe they got fired cos LA had to do some reworking after the reactions to K2.
