No, no! Daylight causes cancer and turns you into a wrinkly leathered prune! Stay away! Stay away from the light!!.... .....Reveilled - that sounds like a great change for you - isn't it nice when life takes a positive turn like that, out of nowhere?

Oh, ugh, the commute thing. Hubby drives about 1.5 hrs per day on the days he has to go to an office - and that's considered 'normal' around here. More and more people move to the edges of cities (or out of the city) and commute further and further to work, usually for econonic reasons. The housing market is insane. And yes, all that driving/traffic can/does affect people's sleeping/stress etc patterns, no doubt. I've always felt bad for the long-haul truckers who work so we can grocery shop and such. :/

I'm not sure I agree with this. It may be true for some people, but not for everyone...and certainly not me. I can get up at 6am and still not go to sleep until 5am-9am the next morning.....often. Quite often. It's why I can never maintain an early-rise habit. Many times, I'm just not sleepy at all, until 25-30 hours have passed. It doesn't matter when I go to bed or if I quit caffeine or exercise more - I'm on a 36 hour day body clock maybe. heh I also read, a long time ago mind you, that to 're-set' your body clock (for those who find their sleep habits seriously interfere w/their lives) you should get up one hour later every day for a while, until you've gone around the clock (ie wake up at 8am, then 9am, then 10am) etc. Requires severe discipline tho, like in a sleep clinic environment, and time off work. But they keep changing their minds on these things all the time.

Of course love can lead to the darkside. Ask anyone who's been married 20 years..... The thing is...in real life, that 'darkside' turn is rarely permanent. In Star Wars, it is....or at least, permanent until your own son finally turns you back to good so you can die a semi-tragic/sympathetic death. :D This kind of 'all or nothing/love is harmful to the hero's ability to be a hero' concept is in tons of stuff - even if it is dealt with in a more complex fashion elsewhere. Spiderman, for example.

I'd hazzard a guess it either got too off-topic one day or it was deemed 'dead horse'. Don't know why it would be deleted tho. Probably best to PM a mod if you really want to know.

Atton tends to veer towards the LS, but there's plenty of DS influence for him as well - largely by killing 'innocents'. I had no problem turning him when I was DS. EDIT thought I'd add that it is possible to un-influence them enough to make them give it all up, as well.

Might have been the dialog option you picked, as well. I've never gotten either a dark side or a light side point for killing the guards, pre-talking to worm-face.

Just for your info - Kreia is always Neutral. You cannot influence her darkside/lightside bar one iota - that's the way her character is. You can still gain influence (populariity) with her that opens up new conversation doors (with Kreia, this is mostly story information) - Kreia's positive influence gains are often DS point givers. And as someone else said, in terms of the plot/game, the important stuff she'll say to you whether she's in your party or not. I ditch her as soon as I get to Telos surface. Most of the NPC's can be molded into almost whatever you want - this is because they're always..uh...lvl 6?...when you get them, no matter what your own level is - thus you can level them up all in one session and put their skills emphasis anywhere you want, within the limits of their class/es. Some NPC's may come with an emphasis on melee or ranged already in place, but it's up to you whether or not to follow that suggestion. For example, Atton makes a very good melee Jedi if you turn him to Jedi soon enough (don't level him up too much before then). But he also makes an good blaster-jedi support-guy if you'd rather your party members support you from the rear rather than get in your way as they try to charge the same monster you're attacking. "

You'd more likely get a (more) knowledgable answer from people who have modded/scripted the game files and probably have a better idea of the game mechanics. Like, the site forum that the KSE editor is hosted on? Can't remember the url at the mo', sorry. At any rate...I've had very high intelligence on several characters and they all got crap for drops early in the game - and I do mean crap - like, almost nothing - and I had one lower level int. character who got 'great' stuff early in the game. And everything in-between. If such things as player stats affects drops, it seems likely it'd be nothing more than a tiny percentage increase chance, meaning, you got 'lucky' to get noticably better stuff twice in a row. It's like streaks of multiple on-base hits in baseball - the chances of getting a lot of consecutive on-base hits are very low - but doesn't mean it never happens. I remember once saving a game just before doing T3's solo bit on Peragus, and re-loading it a few dozen times to see what would randomly pop up in that container behind the door you have to use a mine on - it varied wildy, from great to poor - and his stats always stay the same. Edit - not that a few dozen 're-loads' is a comprehensive enough number to make a serious judgement on...you'd need hundreds or something.

On the Carth thing - I've read that the experience w/Carth is way different if you play a male PC vs. a female PC - ie, he's a lot more whiney seeming if you're male. So perhaps that's some of the reason for the differences on liking/disliking him. But I don't know for sure, since I still haven't gotten out of the 1st training city in Kotor1. In Kotor2, Hanhar would be my most hated. Tho hate is too strong a word, really. I just didn't like him or his childish macho-principled 'lifedebt over common sense' crap and thus never used him.

Nooo....I have to pick only one NPC that I like best. Yes, definitely too simplified, this is. It's like the mini-polls on nuke sites. Ok, I'm done w/the pointless 'up too late w/nothing better to do' whining. :D

I assume when they ask this, that they mean a CONSOLE system? Why can't they be more specific for those of us who think of their PC as their video game system. hahaha EDIT - ok, specifics was on part 2. Bah. This survey is lame. Well, maybe they'll listen, so I guess that's cool.

Eric Clapton and BB King

pre-searing is pretty boring after lvl 6 - I'd tell your Guildmates to hurry up and get out of there. The only reason to stay is to gather money - but money's not that hard to come by after mid-game so it might be more fun just to keep moving...

@Kaftan - omfg that picture of Nimoy and your narration cracked me up. Re: HP haters - I fall into that group. I have no logical reason for it, either. I hated HP when the fad started and I still hate HP Re: The actual poll - if i could vote for all of them, I would, despite being a rather large classic and TNG trek fan. It's not so much a specific category I dislike as the costume-wearing, 'don't you dare besmirch Tolkein's name' forum-sniping, placard-waving, intolerant ego-fanaticism fans that I can't stand, vs. 'just love the show, man' type fans. :D I really liked Will Wheatons clash with SW geeks lining up at the WRONG theater, who refused to move to the RIGHT theater on some kind of strange principle...lol

The Monkees greatest hits. Yes, that's right, the Monkees.

Not me. I don't even know what that is. :D

I won't watch it as it plays. I rarely watch weekly television. When they release an entire season on DVD for sale at the local DVD store, and if it doesn't cost a merketing-hype fortune, I might watch it that way. PS - and I am a little horrified at the expanding franchise. Some things that are classic, do not stay classic if they keep on making new stuff in the name of money. *stares over at Star Trek universe*

I get none of them...except a few do sound familiar, I just couldn't be sure if what I'm thinking of is the 'right answer'. For example - the parrot one immediately brought to mind Monty Python's sketch. But I don't know if that's a 'geek' reference by this tests standards, or if there's another one they mean. EDIT - and Talos IV - I'm pretty sure that's a Star Trek reference, to a planet in the (original) series (pilot). But again...could be something else.

Passess the time. It's better than listing off sequencers, memorizing hypserspace routes, or counting ticks in the power couplings. (you know someone had to say it...) If you want a serious answer....I can't give one more serious than Atton's line. It's just...whittling away the hours when one can't sleep and one doesn't feel like doing anything else. EDIT - I did go through a phase a decade ago where i liked debating and talking of issues etc - but these days...no...I like the lighter side of message boards, not the serious one.

7-8 hours a day, average. It varies quite wildly from day to day, tho, because I have no set sleeping/waking/working schedule that I have to follow. Breeds bad habits, it does. Never been a 'regular pattern sleeper' tho, ever.

The money thing is way over-rated - well, unless you're a serious A-type personality and can't help yourself. :D But that's not me.

Yup...about the same age. :D Tho if you're 35, then I was off in my math by one year. Make that 9 or 10, then. Teach me to try and be 'cute' w/my answer. Eh...doesn't matter, close enough for tellin'. lol It's all a blur. "

This thread is causing a disturbance in the Force. " I was 8 or 9 when Star Wars was first released (I don't remember if it was a summer or winter release...).
