And a predictable ad personam attack in lack of better argument... because let's face it, you don't have one. The very article you quoted to support your point disagrees with you, quite rightly putting the blame on shoulders of the publisher who enforced ludicrous time frame, i.e. Lucas Arts. Case closed, now run along and maybe come back when you actually find something that supports your point for a change...

"This comment reveals just how damaging this deadline that LucasArts gave to Obsidian was to the development of a complete game with a fleshed-out story." "Beyond the purpose of having KOTOR2's story told in its original intended manner, it will send a message to LucasArts that fans feel it is unacceptable to sacrifice the quality of such a potentially fantastic series in order for quicker profit." "We are all aware LucasArts is a business before anything else, but this petition will also send them another message, they will lose fans if they continue their trends of rushing developers and in turn, lose money." ... are you absolutely postitively sure you understood whose reputation got really tarnished, according to the article you quoted? reading comprehension for the win...

I just ran around a bit. Somehow, just standing there in the middle and taking beating both from front and behind at once seemed like dumb thing to do. " The mat thingie isn't really as small as it seems, so you can always slip past the 'maidens, give a few hits the one that happens to be closest to you (or mess up few at once with area attack like force scream) then repeat when whole gang catches up with you ... no need to cheat and pretty good fun

'Tis quite a pity if KotOR is taking back seat, really liked what you did with part II and wouldn't mind continuation of the story in reasonable time... ^^;;

In the trailer that battle with Dooku is done very much like Vader/Luke duel thing in the ep.6, so apparently they *are* trying to establish so early in the movie how far he fell to the dark side already? o.O

That's how i did it and it worked for me... maybe it depends on which dialogue path you take when taking with the shopkeeper, but am quite positive i left him under impression am about to work for him and with the quest to gather stuff active in the journal, then went to Gren and talked about it, got the package etc.

The "just be happy Han still has the gun and not a walkie-talkie" option seems to be missing... "

Beheaded? ... i sense bad "there can be only one apprentice" jokes coming...

HK-47 = he's not complicated character, but one of the most memorable creations as far as droids go... only Marvin from "Hitchhiker's Guide..." tends to make me laugh as much as HK does. He's pretty much 'just' evil twist on C3PO ... but his lines, looks, voice and overall concept meld into way more likable comic relief than the perpetually whining, clumsy original.

I had the same thing happen.... as weird as it seems, it felt like Mira is discussing the issue not with any party member but *you* the player behind the screen.... kind of 'dialogue with oneself' sort of thing. :s

Because that's one of Atris' servants (and not necessarily *the* handmaiden) about to hijack your ship which happens no matter if your character is male or female..?

I think it's oversimplifying things here. The "it's all about sex appeal" argument is much like "what was first, egg or chicken" -- we have no way to tell if these games wouldn't have sold just as well if the main character wasn't wearing such kind of outfits... which is quite likely, when you consider that games which had 'normally' dressed females as leads (the Longest Journey or Syberia series) also wind up popular and recognized widely as masterpieces... plus, men apparently have no problem with playing female characters that aren't really pleasing to the eye in MMO games. (trolls, dwarves, hundred years old wrinkly mages and whatnot)

Didn't really stop the Lara Croft games from selling, though... and the whole business with many MMO players picking female characters even if they're males themselves.

Except you can love someone without wanting to get in their pants... especially when you happen to be a light Jedi. Love and sexual attraction are two different feelings even if they often come together. So to me that whole rescue bit works just as well no matter what gender Revan has...

... Huh? I thought her character development was, after Nihilus bites the dust she has this sort of speech when she says she feels like now she'll be able to move on with her life and leave the past behind, and how that's thanks to you and whatnot. It was quite touching actually, really seemed like she's on the way to recovery...

Am picturing Family Guy with his fingers inching to the "POST" button, but then this applies to everyone in this thread, me included... :">

Hmm i thought the aforementioned official source was the databank at starwars.com... ^^;; but then i checked it and curiously enough, they go to great lengths there to not provide even a hint on what Revan's gender is "supposed" to be.

If i remember right, you can also play with the computer somewhere around there (on the bridge in room with force fields in four corners) and raise the room temperature to render all droids in the mining tunnels blind, yet still have them as potential targets... which gives some extra xp..?

Spoken truly like Master Vrook.

I dunno, the subtle tension between Bastilla and female Revan was quite interesting, and you get moaning Carth as a bonus (somehow that sounded.. wrong. :"> With Revan made 'officially' male that's a moot point though, i guess...

Thought it's M5 as in, 5th planet (from the sun) in Malachor system or something like that...

That didn't work for me when i tried; killed both guards but when talking to the wife, i'd still only have option to [Lie] the path is clear, and she'd then die.... in the end that's just one of the few quests i had unsolved :/

Including himself. Talk about ensuring you have all your eggs in one Star Forge...

I thought it's pretty dumb, but then just few days ago stumbled across this article. It's long, but surprisingly makes enough sense to actually make me like the concept now...

Got my silver crystal off Darth Sion out of all people. Which was quite cool except completely didn't match his lightsaber ^^;
