C'mon Eddo, I know you are trying to be funny, but you have to raise the bar a little bit here. You can't expect great sophistication on a SW forum but you have to do better than this. Come to that your last one was not funny either.

As a graphic designer, I can understand why you feel this way. However, these people are putting time into making the game fun, and they don't need to use spell check. If they were a professional company, then I would say you have a point. However, they are only gammers fixing another individual's mistakes. You bought a game where someone made code (spelling) mistakes, but you won't give these guys a chance!? Now that is screwed up! "However ive lost alot of faith in your 'team' as there are countless spelling mistakes over your website, even on the main page =/"<----They may have spelling mistakes, but you have a worse problem. Grammar Mistakes! Here is how you should have wrote your statement: "However, I have lost alot of faith in your 'Team'. Since there are countless spelling mistakes, at your website, I am reluctant to download your game fixes." Within your statement, you made a dependant thought, and you didn't finish your statement with a independant clause. I lost faith in your post! Here is another grammer mistake: "Im sure your doing great work."<-----A big mistake! Here is how it should be: I am sure you are doing a great job. I am sure you're doing a great job. Your - means ownership. If you use the word your in a scentence, know how to express a clear thought. Next time you make a statement, make sure you don't make mistakes! -------Overall this is how your statement should have looked like: I am sure you are doing a good job; however, I have lost faith in your team. Since there are countless spelling mistakes, at your website, I am reluctant to download anything from you. Even on the front page you have mistakes. Sorry, but that is how I judge the quality of your work! ------- Now, since your statement is flawed, I believe that the 'Restoration Program' kicks ass! Keep up the good work! K.M.A. (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL! Best post on this board in a long time!

This thread needs to be locked. Nur Ab Sal, Flyboi, Los Whackos please go to www.democratunderground.com. You will find plenty of people there who agree with you. Everyone else will be welcomed at www.freerepublic.com. Can we not have one discussion board that does not get infected with poitics?

Nope, that says it all. Good luck and kick some ...

Yes go fight for american oil rights. I am sure Bush will commend you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For the love of... can we please keep politics off this board. This guy is doing a brave and patriotic thing and he does not need to hear you denigrating him because you do not like the current administration. If you want to talk politics go to freerepublic.com or democratunderground.com. People come here to get away from that crap. 11XHooah, thank you, good luck, and godspeed. BTW, I was in the Marines, 1989-94. It paid for my BSEE. It's a tremendous opportunity and a good thing to do for your fellow citizens, even ungrateful ones like Flyboi.

Been pretty quiet lately. Any word from Aurora or her team?

thanks for the link <{POST_SNAPBACK}> FYI... you will need to remove TuTu to use BG2.

Problem with MOO3, the engine was so flawed, even modded it was just unenjoyable. What Aurora and team are attempting to do will do so much more for KOTOR2 than any MOO mod ever did for it's game.

Relatively speaking of course!

As fast as you can do it is as fast as you can do it. Don't allow yourself to feel pressured. When it's done you will all be heros no matter how long it took. I for one, am very grateful for the effort.

Take a look at the Hall of Fame. Depending on what your preferences are, there are some absolutely brilliant modules there. (One guy even spent three years full time on a 60-80 hour module!) I particularly enjoyed the Paladin adventures by Rick Burton (Midnight, Twilight -- and he's working on Dawn). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is a rumor on NWN Vault that Rick Burton hs even been hired by Bioware based on his undeniable talent demonstrated in the Paladin series. If you guys are only playing the NWN OC it's no wonder you do not like it. Try the user made mods, most range from pretty good to simply outstanding.

You are absolutely correct. I have some modding experience and I can tell you for a fact, the quickest way to make a project fail is to go beyond the scope of your project or work towards a poorly defined objective.

Fair enough. There is little that has not been said anyway. A huge THANK YOU to you and your team Aurora. I wish I could offer my help but I'm tied up on an NWN project at the moment.

I must admit, the moment Aurora team made this announcement, all the bitterness about this expensive and inferior product LA foisted on us just melted away. The one thing I learned with NWN was there was very little a Dev can do that talented modders cannot.

Not long to wait I think. And you have the right of it, this poorly excecuted, unfinished halfgame is not worthy of you paying full dollar value.

There was a few snippets of unused dialouge that led to believe a Canderous romance was under consideration in KOTOR I. So little that I think it was cut early on. A lot of Juhani's dialouge was cut that made her sexuality and the following romance with a female PC a little less subtle. There is a mod to restore it that works pretty well. Not a big add, and most is without VO but it is interesting.

Jolee Bindo, no doubt about it. I usually have a really good point and get to in a roundabout long winded way. Plus I think my life has bee interesting.

Not true at all. In fact, I'd say the so-called RPG crowd has been more vocal in its defense of the game than most. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, Obsidian has been defended, and not for nothing. KOTOR 2 is not without good parts, even as it is. Many gamers have spoken up in defense of what is good about it. But, taken on the whole the game is just poor, more because of what is not included than what is. By a rough margin of 3 to 1 posters have agreed with this sentiment. 3 more months of dev time and Muhakda would have never put up this post.

That would be time well spent, and they can be had really cheap now.

Yep. And in #4 I agreed with you. My "idiotic" rant as you so kindly put it was answering someone else who took exception to what I said. I'm not here to flame or denigrate anyone.

I wasn't talking to you anyway

I apologize; I didn't mean to sound so confrontational. It's just that so many older gamers blame younger ones for the trend of "dumbing down" games. It's kind of like that chauvinistic stuff some gamers pull on women, like they don't know enough to play well. (I'm sorry, I've just encountered both in the past.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've read similar statements in these very forums. And, I'll say what you didn't it is a pile of garbage to even suggest it. 'Younger" players do not dumb down games any more than "older" ones have the reverse effect. I'd be a little put off by the suggestion too. Not where I was going. Devlopers target age groups, true enough but KOTOR 2 was meant for a broad appeal. Here is a great example of what i'm trying to get at. Neverwinter Nights has absolutley nothing for the gameplay crowd. Animations, graphic interface, game pace are all pretty poor. But it has a big cowd of rabid RPG fans that love it because it is so moddable, replayable, and totally story driven. The additions of the toolset ensures there will always be new games to play. Thats the different outlooks to KOTOR 2 I was trying to get at. NWN has very few players under 20. Not because it is or isn't dumbed down, just that it takes a different taste to enjoy it.

Wait...I'm not 20 yet, therefore I'm not a real cRPG fan. Nevermind that I've been playing Baldur's Gate, Fallout, et al. since I was 12. Oh my, I've become a conundrum! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was discussing generalities. My statement do not and were not intended to encapsulate every individual player. By an large the numbers prove me right.

I'm with you there. Never was a fan of PnP.

Thank you for proving both of my points.
