Yup yup...it's related to that (I think, hehe). One of the graphic options in the game - I never remember the proper name...something buffer. Some cards don't support it etc.

Yes...so true....I'm not exactly going to hold my breath for those pictures.

Someone asked me to do a comparison like that on my screenie site...but it's hard since I'd have to play the game w/every possible Exile model to get the shots (only need Dark, since Light doesn't change much). So I haven't done it. It's a good idea tho - if enough people post (decent) pictures and give permission I'd 'steal' the pics for a compiliation picture to put up on the site etc.

Flux of blackchampange is entertaining most of the time, although he tends to blather about some of his home-hobbies too long. I'd have to agree tho that since blogging is a huge 'fad' now, that about 98% of them suck. There are gems in there - both the personal and the more 'cause related ones' (ie politics or whatever) but you often only hear of them by word of mouth or occasionally random surfing luck. I know the couple times I've made blog-sites, they had little entertainment value - but mine aren't really for the public, more for family or personal reasons. And I have to say - gets boring TO blog almost as much as it can be a bore to read them. :D

I prefer the term 'unused' to 'cut' myself. :D

I have a couple 'net friends who are playing it - both are the types who resist on-line gaming addictions, and both are becoming pretty addicted, if that tells you anything. But they've only been playing a couple weeks or so, so don't know about long term. I'd guess it's certainly worth to play a month to see if you like it, assuming you like that kind of game in the first place. I refuse to touch it tho - something about the Warcraft Universe that I've never liked - that and I really don't need to get addicted to a game like that. Plus, as a couple others said, MMORPG's tend to get kind of boring to me after a short while, and I prefer SP games anyway. So...I'll skip this one.

Can't speak for Kotor1 (yet) but I didn't really find any single battle in 2 to be particuarly better than another. I focus more on whether I like an entire area or not. So in that regard, I like the Dxun tomb thing - because you can pick 3 NPC's and change 'em around each time, and that's fun. Although I did also like the Acad. on Korriban for some reason - it wasn't very big, but I liked fighting all the Sith. The palace...eh...except for the fact Tobin cracks me up, I didn't find that too entertaining. But then, I'm not really into "Save/Damn the Queen! kind of plots.

I like the influence system, but yes, it wasn't implemented terribly well this time around. Some of the unused material would have changed that a bit - ie, high influence w/Disciple & not Atton making Atton turn dark etc. Sigh.

I'd say get rid of Kreia too. In terms of entertainment/NPC interaction or story value, I'd pick HK47 (when you can get him), Disciple (story- if you're female), Mira, Atton, and Handmaiden (male). Bao-Dur is a good character too, although he doesn't have a lot to say outside of his initial stuff. Visas kind of annoys me personally, and Mandalore just...well...he's good to have in a fight but otherwise...Goto can be funny but I find him rather useless. But basically, swap them in and out whenver you want - try them all for a while, does no harm - then if you replay it you can just go with your favorites.

Eh? Hacking into computers? Guess I still haven't played the 1st one very far... But there's several ways to get inf. exp. in 2. Set mines in one area, exit (so the game loads new area), set mines in the new area, exit back to 1st area, recover mines, etc etc. Adds up to a lot of exp... Or on Korriban in the cave there's the 'dead Jedi' corpse that you can click forever to spawn Hsiss forever. Or on Dxun, your first visit there, when the Sith attack, as long as you don't go near Mandolores control center building they'll keep spawning (run back and forth between the two main spawn points in front of the control center building) forever, in cycles. Sometimes I wonder if the last two are really glitches or intentional...since the lvl cap is 50 and the game really only gives you about 36 lvls of experience or therabouts, maybe they left those in so people could exp.

One more for the HK - the 'Coorta' one. http://crimsonkeep.com/downloads/kotor2sound/coordead.wav

For HK fans. http://crimsonkeep.com/downloads/kotor2sound/hk47-tort1.wav And btw, whoever asked about HK47/50, I'm not doing 'all' of them. That's 100's maybe closer to a 1000+, files. :D It doesn't take very long to do one, but that many would get tedious really fast...

So I downloaded it...it doesn't work. It does not 'see' the dialogue file and hence, I cannot open it to look at it. *shrug I threw up a crappy text link reference page for whatever sound stuff I might do in the future, since 1) I tend to take a while to get around to doing them and 2) topics fall off the radar pretty fast.. Tho any really good ones I'll probably still mention here. http://crimsonkeep.com/downloads/kotor2sound/kotor2wav.php

No answer to the question, but for a signature picture, that is humongous.

Silver just looks glowy white. http://crimsonkeep.com/kotor2/albums/userp...kotor2-096a.jpg Cyan looks like a pale glowy skyblue, with a very slight greenish hue to it perhaps. Edit - here's a quickie of cyan - your color mileage may vary depending on monitor/card .

Few people like Disciple (as a character) so maybe you're not missing anything. :D I never go without him myself.

Funny how you can see something while playing and never really see it. I've seen that bit a dozen times and it never registered that it was the same graphic as Bao's.

In case anyone's wondering, yes, the server isn't responding at the moment. All three of my servers, not just crimson, which is why I noticed - heh - Justin seems to be tinkering with something. Edit - already done I guess - man he's fast. I love that man. (yeah, no one knows what I'm talking about...)

My stance on politics is not to discuss politics on the internet. But I'm kind of a...conservative liberal/other...or something along those lines.

If you mean the KSE one, I think it's called, then no, there's no major issues with it that I've seen, as long as you stick with modifying simple things. I haven't messed with the feats and stuff tho...just the influence, NPC experience (I hate that they fall behind....grrrr), and occasionally adding items for tinkering/screenshot purposes. Just save a game in a new slot and edit that file, you'll still have the original unedited savegame if something goes wrong.

Silver (which is really just....white....)....orange/bronze, and blue. Red's cool too but I don't find enough of those, usually, till late-game. Cyan's nice but I dont like that 'turns on after the load-screen' bug. I don't like any of the greens in this game, and yellow makes me irritable. Violet's ok, I just find too damn many of those and refuse to use them if I can help it. *babbles*

ripway.com is one option to host 'em. Can't vouch for their free service myself, but a friend of mine used them a few times. I think they do have a kind of small monthly/daily download-bandwidth allowance for the free accounts but not sure what it is...*shrug Don't know of any other places, since I never have to use them, I never look for them. "

I was thinking along the same lines, only it's even worse for me - I don't think a single beer is going to cut it. *grabs a 6-pack* I loved Hootie's 1st album - didn't like anything else they did tho. And right now, I'm listening to The Police's early music - it fits my spastic mood....
