Define substantial. Few sequels comepletely abandon the basics of the first game. If it was successful at least.

I don't think most people want to play a cowardly character KOTOR 2 and the Sith Wizards of OZ The player character is now the cowardly lion. White haired chick is now Dorothy. T3 is Toto. Krea is the Good Witch Glenda HK-47 is the tin man with no heart Atton Rand is the scarecrow with no brains Sith Lords are the Wicked witches of the east and west

Seriously that would be hilarious to see.

Yeah I've already said about 10 times now XP caps are only bad when you hit them mid way into the game. Reaching them at the end is best. There's a nice feeling of accomplishment from it. Because it should require doing practically every quest.

No 1st level character is significant. At least not in D20. I don't know how you can think that. I don't care what other people have told you. Different situations and different people. They are wrong and I am right. Casual gamers didn't play HoTU to reach level 40 they wanted to get prestige classes. Which they got. I am just saying pretending the level cap is 100 though it is impossible to reach 100 is cheap and basically a flat out lie to consumers. Why not just be honest and say 10? Oh well. I will console myself with the fact there will be a level cap in KOTOR 2 and every time I hit it I will think of you. B)

Why "church"? That just doesn't fit in there... I just said why I thought Church was better. It fits perfectly.

Killing desert wraids is a lot better than killing Kath hounds. yeah, but dantooine looked much better than tatooine, then theirs sand people, get low on med packs..... Yeah but kath hounds give eventually something like 25 xp where desert wraids even at high levels give 100. Plus they drop plates to sell for credits. And sand people sometimes have gaffi sticks to redeem for credits or blaster rifles etc.

Yes. Church implies a strong religious conviction of absolute hatred for Carth who is quite obviously the Devil. It also lends itself to the developing of special Anti-Carth rituals, prayers, etc. For example "Oh developer gods please spare my insignificant unworthy soul from the torment of speaking to Carth."

Killing desert wraids is a lot better than killing Kath hounds.

That could actually make for an intriguing story line... This time, you are not chasing a missing identity, but your missing courage that you lost somewhere ? B) What am I a lion? And the white haired chicks name could be dorothy and HK can be the tin man since he has no heart and Atton Rand is totally the scarecrow since he will have no brain.

Hopefully Telos will fit this bill somewhat. Or Dantooine.

It all depends on how early along it came to light to him/her of what was really going on. If s/he had found out just as they were discovering the Star Forge, things could have been significantly different to say the least. All speculation though, I just pulled it out of my ass. Doesn't matter how early someone might have ran back to the Jedi council and tattled they were messing with the Dark Side. The Council didn't have the power to do anything and the Republic were rooting for Revan so they aren't going to go remove him when he is winning the Mandalorian wars for them.

Turn them in to who? The Jedi Council? They couldn't have done anything to stop Revan and his forces by that point.

Definitely Dathomir.

Everything you say is contradictory. You hate having too much XP and levelling yet you want your character to have no limits on how high he can level. This is just comepletely arbitrary then. We'll say the cap is 100 but then put in enough XP to let you reach 10? That is stupid. It is only going to piss off casual gamers who think ooooh wow I can reach level 100. That is why I am glad you are not a developer I have no doubt your games would be interesting but commercially they would all fail. But I stand by my statement that leveling is part of roleplaying. At least if you do it well. Take DnD and the strongholds you got once you reached a high enough level. That's because levels are supposed to be measurements of your ability, prestige and power etc. Not just arbitrary stat/ability raises you get for slaughtering enough enemies. In KOTOR there is no need to go to level 100 because being level 20 means you are a legendary figure of incredible historical significance. There are just no games that properly convey this feeling. You only get it in PnP roleplaying. I'm glad you are stingy with the XP. I personally prefer to give no Xp at all for combat. Only for quests.

:D Who the heck voted for Bandon?????? Someone just wanted to be screwy I suppose.

Just because you are a darksider does NOT make you Sith. That's like saying you are in the Navy because you sail. So I can argue that just cause you are a lightsider doesn't mean that you are a Jedi right? You could be a Light Sith.... You could be a lightside Sith. Provided you WERE a Sith and went to the lightside. But then you would have to accept the teachings of the Jedi which would make you become a Jedi. But until you learned how to be a Jedi you could be a lightside Sith. But you couldn't use your powers the way the Sith taught or you'd go dark again. And there are such things as force adepts. They have no formal training by Sith or Jedi so they'd just be light or dark force users.

Whatever. Breakable weapons will not be in KOTOR because the vast majority of casual gamers do not like hardcore realism when it means their favorite weapons and armors can be destroyed. And casual gamers are what make games commercial successes or critically acclaimed failures like PS:T.

They add balance. And the caps add to roleplaying when the levels more closely corroborate to your character. What did it mean to be level 99 in FF? Nothing. But being level 20 or beyond in KOTOR means you are epic. A legendary figure of incredible power. They should add titles for each level too. Padawan for 1-5. Knight for 6-12 etc. That'd be really kewl. What DO you want as a cap if not 99? 199? How is it any different from a cap of 20. It's just a bigger number. I'm surprised you hate MMORPGs. They'd be perfect for you and your desire to level incessantly.

Just because you are a darksider does NOT make you Sith. That's like saying you are in the Navy because you sail.

Boy I am glad you're not a devloper. You do get that having level 99 as a cap is still a cap right? All games have caps. Why is it such a big deal to you if that cap is 20? The game is balanced for level 20. Give it up. It will never be put in the game. This game will have a cap. And it will not be 99.

Oh no. A bunch of strangers feel I am antisocial. Oh wait. I am. :angry:

Oh is he? That is fascinating. Tell me more. :D

Level caps aren't fake. They are a balancing issue. This is first and foremost a game. Not a simulated SW reality. And I quoted the wrong post. Great. But hey I agree MMORPGs do suck. Mainly because ones like everquest think oh people love leveling let's make the level cap 2 billion and one! Why not just make each level more worthwhile? which is what KOTOR does. And who makes them think that a good RPG means leveling a thousand times? People like you. Vote "NO" on raise levelcap proposition 223.
