I'm nothere to help with balance. If Obsidian is as good as we all claim them to be; they can handle it.

Good. Good feature.

The d20 deisgner is irrelevant. He isn't making KOTOR2, and he isn't the one gonan ahev to balance it so his opinion menas crap in this case as pnp and video games are two completely different beasts. Period. Quite frnakly, your arrogance is very sad. Leave those out whoa re attached to their characters? Lame. Mnay people just want to keep their characters, and see them grow in more than one way. There is nothingw rong with that. What I find funny is depsite all your complaints and knowing full well ebfor ehand what KOTOR2 is trying to accomplish and not liking it; you'll be one of the first in line to buy it. Haha. Yet you expect Obsidian to take you seriously when they already ahve your $50 (or whatever) in their bank account.

Bastilla, and Misison would be my faves to return. Maybe Junahi, and Revan as well.

Man. I like Chris Avellone too; but hisa writing skills are sooo overrated. HGe is not some writing God. IWD2 proves this. And, besides, like Grom mentioned, he did NOT write any of the BIS games solo. Jeez. And, giving Dave G all (or most of ) the credit (or engative press) for KOTOR's writing (or other BIO games) is just plain silly since, he like Avellone, did not write the games solo. Geez.. Theya re not Shakespeare, King, or some other fancy writer whow rite their books solo. Silly gooses.

I'd rather it be a party of unlimited since depending on npc choices and what not. I hate artififcal sizes limits.

I sense lots of whining, and most of it comes from the Uusual Suspect. I'm still trying to figure out why he's here. I much prefer level 1-20 myself; but there is nothing inherently wrong with level 20+. And, it's much better than artificial level caps ala NWN (original), BG seris, FO1, etc., etc. It'll just be up to Obdisian to make sure the game is balanced depending on what level they expect you to be at the end. That is all. :angry:

Newc, you thought wrong. Internetr Message Board Geeks are *never* my mind of people. Darque, only the Jedi Mind Trick amkes you think it's *not* locked.

LOCKED.

No they didn't. BIS games were delayed many times. Many, many times. See IWD2 which was DELAYED months as just ONE example.

From his library of books detail every painful factual detail of the mythical universe known of Star Wars, of course.

Then they have less than 1000 of actually active posters then. Uh.. like most boards.

True; but BIO also has a different subsect of fans that LA doesn't have. How many people who don't care much for SW bought KOTOR anyways because it was an RPG made by BIO? I bet at least 6.

Haha.

LOL So did 90% of the Known Universe.

I think drakron has a case of 'BLANK envy'. As for all the hubaloo of "chidlren' who will show up when it's announced. Sure, it'll happen. No biggy. Even kiddies have the right to give their opinions and thoughts on a game espicially sicne it's those kiddies who will, in the end, helpd etermine if KOTOR2 is a hit. Besdies, there's already a whole bunch of imature punks on this baord - me, and Drakron being two of them.

Lantern: Huh? What are ya babbling about?

No, no it is not. Nothing is as bad as that.

I'm with Drakron. Rinoa, and Squall's romance was greta. Sure, it used a 'cheap' tatic like coma but if Gromnir had atually played the game; he'd know that it fits quite well in a FANTASY game. Pity too since I usually agree with Grom.. Tsk, tsk.

Don't worry, I have the same sentiments with everyone - including my family, and more importsntly, ever myself.

RP, I'm not too worried what you think. If my arch nemesis Drakron cna agree with me; that's all I need. :D

And?

Immunity to Negative Energy is a wonderful thing.

Yet, like a juvenile, you rush out and buy their games. Seriously, romances don't bother me one way or another. Don't really need them in a RPG; but if they are there and add role-playing and soemd rama; I say go for it. I do agree, however, that Rino-Squall is probaly the best romance in any video game. How can anyone like Annah? She's a pathetic whiney little girl who looked like she belonged in diapers. FFG, on the other hand, is a REAL woman.

Admittedly, it seems that BIO is gonna use a 'Johnny Quest' villain in JE. While the stupid TOB villainess (one of the worst villains I have ever seen), and all the NWN ones were 'Johnny Quest ones, BG1 and BG2's main one's weren't. True, they didn't have much of a spark of good; but they weren't 'Jonny Quest' types either, imo. Their motivation was deeper than doing evil for evil's sake. As for KOTOR, Grom covered it nicely.
