heh... I just use auto-level.

Han Solo wasn't a downright murderer, but he killed before being provoked - just because he thought someone would kill him. Does that make him exactly like a stormtrooper, because they killed too? A soldier kills in WWII, and someone else bombs the hell out of an almost entirely civilian-only occupied town. Are these two things equivalent? I think that's what she's like, and I don't think they explain it too well. They have, what, a paragraph to do it in. So you, "distrust" a person because you perceive inconsistency. I guess you just don't understand complexity in a person? It can be perfectly understandable if you don't limit yourself to totally meaningless words and concepts. As opposed to articulating the world in a coherent manner...

Nothing I said was insulting or terribly angry, so I don't really understand why you think I need to calm down. Let's do a word count in that post, there...

... but not gonna' happen.

Whenever you get damaged in an attack by enemy fighters I'm sure they'll have one or two instances of the hyperdrive getting shutdown, as in the first (think Rakata)

I know who she looks like! The Nameless One! It all makes sense now... They never said anything about party members having identity crises

No, it's just that you have to keep switching your party out. Repetitive nonsense.

What? I have to list every single force power? You spam force powers in the game, that's my point. It should be improved so force use feels more special, or at least more strategic.

I don't think anything of the reacting differently bit - I think it should be automatic, unless you're in a combat situation, or use the lightsaber in dialogue to threaten someone. Thus, reaction wouldn't really be a problem, would it? But it would still take away the, "I'm waving a blaster through my head while I speak" like Carth did, or always holding your lightsaber in your hand and no one seems to notice. Minor, but it helps.

forgot? It wasn't necessary for my point

The only "official" release date is winter or February... ...and February is considered during winter. The individual maps will be larger, because the dev's said the loading times would be less frequent. (LESS frequent) it doesn't make half a bit of sense to have 70 areas per planet, and it sounds just like the kind of misunderstanding that results from somewhat unspecific speech. So what, your roomy read it the same way - if one person reads it that way, more probably will. 10 per planet is about what the first game was. I'm not thinking that they're including every dinky little side building in that too, like yuka-laka's shop or the czerka station. In fact, I suspect (consdering the thing about load times) there will be fewer such extraneous load-zones for 5 sq. meter shops.

Actually, it's a pretty unimportant feature, but it would be neat. You don't care for it, I don't give a S-h-i-t.

errhm yes. Peragus. Crazy SW names and all <.<; Hehehehe... you dope... you messed up again... (Hint: Look at the quote )

They won't remove her from the story, unless they have a REEEAALLY good reason for her dying after surviving the star forge.

Oh, come on. You know, most artists have the trouble where they work so hard on something they forget to look at it in a fresh light. It DOES look sort of like batman, I don't give a rats ass if batman doesn't wear a chestplate. It does look sort of like batman. It could be coincidence, but that's what it looks like. If you can't think of another way to do that look (I'll add some suggestions that might do that), don't bother, I'm sure it's fine. You aren't a professional artist; your drawings have problems with them. I'm a musician, and people think I'm amazing or something; I, however, see plenty of problems with my playing, as would anyone with any sort of training. As do, after all, any of my music teachers. A good 2nd year student might have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention a specific aspect of their tone that's wrong, and it's fine. It doesn't make that criticism any less true, though. If you don't know what the heck people are talking about, try to figure it out but don't fret over it. From your drawings (no offense), it doesn't look like you've had any sort of chance at significant training. Have you gone to an art and design school yet? NO!! You haven't. So there will be problems. I don't know that anyone giving you criticism has formal training either; they're doing their best to give you their feedback and help you along, and chances are that feedback won't be entirely accurate. Will you know or understand how they're wrong? No. You might as well use their feedback as hints to what IS wrong, though. Maybe you just wanted everyone to pat you on the back for doing a good job, but that's not how the world works - you haven't had any training, and you asked for genuine feedback. If you still feel like arguing about this, you apparently never wanted genuine feedback, and you should make that clear or withdraw all mention of your drawings. It wouldn't be hard to do, after all; just delete the images in your posts. I'm a good musician, but I have problems with my music; if I didn't see that, I'd never improve. Saying that it looks like batman isn't necessarily a problem. In the game, you might forget that it looks anything like batman; I'm sure you have a certain style in mind, and did it just fine. If you could do that style and make it not look like batman to anyone, it would be good, but it's not necessary; especially, as I said, if you have no idea how to change that.

With the exception of MISSION?? Are you INSANE??

It's been said there won't be a Sith lord for every planet you visit.

As long as that doesn't mean Revan fell before becoming a hero in everyone's eyes, (doing good stuff, leading reform on various planets he passed) that works. Also, keep in mind that the curiousity doesn't have to mean he falls immediately... I would think it's the seeds for other things, though.

I think you should still be able to talk to them and tell them you'll be challenging Malak for the Sith Lordship, and institute someone in command. I'm sure there'd be in-fighting for this, and it would be neat to say part of the academy against and part for you. More personality, anyway.

Force Power's were really awesome when you first learned about them. Luke did a lot of fancy acrobatics which were pretty spiffy in ep. 6, and vader threw objects at Luke in ep. 5. The pinnacle was Palpatine's Force Lightning in Episode 6. From there, though, we get the fight between the Jedi master's in Ep. 2 and the Darth Maul fight in Episode 1. Then we have endless use of Doube-sided lightsaber's and two lightsabers at once, which sort of destroys the original meaning of the dueling that happened, and thus a lot of the (original) interesting part of lightsabers. We also have lame Force-Wave spamming in KotOR I. It's still good, but after all that, none of it means nearly as much. Instead of going bigger and better, they should have gone for quality and variation - but there you have it. There's still some good, which is why I enjoy it - but who doesn't like the idea of traditional dueling more? I still like all this Star Wars Jedi stuff, don't get me wrong - but it's really easy to over-do it. A lot of Star Wars - based stuff is just reusing content from the traditional canon, and overusing it. In the game, how many Force Wave's do you cast as a Jedi Consular lightside? Too many to count. I don't think they should go all vitality points. I think there should be some leeway - like maybe you have 20(maybe 60 at high levels for a consular) force points, and past that uses vitality points. Then we have the more-than-one saber trend. It's over-used; the reason it's overused is that everyone wants to feel special. This also follows the rash of DnD dual-scimitars. If you ask me, there should be very specific skill and feat requirements for dual-wielding of any sort. Awareness skills, force manipulation skills, and feats should be there. It also makes sense that you should master one blade before you master two - thus the dueling feat should be a requirement. Dual pistols are common, and I think the current rules work just fine for that. Well, anyway - I certainly don't expect the dev's will use any of this, but I wanted to see what people thought of what I said. I've already started a permutation of various rules system, and I plan on implementing these thoughts.

Shdy: Agreed on that. Azazis: It's Peragus, not pegasus Unless there's a pegasus as well. Also, I don't know if you know this, but we know that the Jungle/beach area of the walkthrough video on the main LA site is Telos. Is that what you're talking about? I don't remember any laser towers (in screens, concept or otherwise), but I'll go check up on it. I'm sure I could've missed it easily enough. Nur Ab Sal: Why don't you trust the dev's judgement? They're the ones that are making the game, and THEY are the only ones that know what can be done in the time given by their publishers. I personally like the idea of another city world, and I don't think it'll be like Taris; it'll just be another city. Oh, and I just realized something... this sequel is technically continuing the same war, despite the small separation; The Sith are occupying the outer rim, now, even though they were pushed down for a time with the Star Forge... which seems to have only stopped them from totally destroying the Republic. (However the star forge was destroyed, It wouldn't make much sense for it not to be)

They said it could have an event-level effect at points in the game. That's also brought up earlier in this thread.

Dead on. Except for the lips, of course - those could be thicker.

I think he began to fall (along with a fair portion of his followers) during the mandalorian wars, but it's all just speculation. If you remember though, (Mild KotOR spoiler follows) Juhani mentions how Revan was a Jedi hero, and the reason she joined the Jedi. He wasn't all darkside then, apparently.
