Double bladed all the way! I don't care about your rhetoric (c'mon, flashy gay boys? Could we get more childish?). Double bladed is the most difficult to use, too. I am no novice player (but yes, a huge Darth Maul fan) However, I have a thing for the bo. In Ninja Gaidan Black, pretty much all I'm using is the bo. (Although the flails are still bloody awesome!) And any other game where bos are available, I'm on them like white on rice n_n (it's five am, I can't think of any others off the top of my head). Whatever sabre you use is dependant on your style. I happen to like doublebladed sabres, even though you can't use as many crystals. They're elegant, and just give me a tingling up my spine . . . I lurve them so . . .

WHERE'S THE CANDYMAN?!?!?! I'm shocked and saddened that there was no Canderous/Mandalore action u___u So I chose Sion. The closest this Sith girl will ever get to romance o_O

For me (and my brother cause he saw me play KotOR so many times before he picked it up) Revan is DS Female. My exile is, again, DS Female. I couldn't care less what canon says, because its my damned game and I'll play it how I like. I don't remember any true sexism in Star Wars. Great leaders have been women. Female Jedi and Sith are just as accepted as male. So . . . I really don't care what your ignorance proliferates? Go ahead and use subjective conjecture to "defend" your point. "Ohhh, women are bad leaders because general consensus says so". Whatever. I'd much prefer hard facts. At least it's different in Star Wars, where this whole gender/sex thing isn't a massive issue. Revan and Exile can be anything you want. That's why it's an rp. If it had to be a certain way, then why can we pick our sex?

*We* can see Sidious/Palpatine is the bad one through the movie. But the characters can't. But all the characters except us *know* that Kreia is bad and evil. So I'd have to say that Kreia is worse. Everyone on the Ebon Hawk knows her agenda from the get-go. But the Senate and the Jedi don't get Palpatine either until it's too late, or ever. Oh, and I think that Palpatine faked the whole thing against Windu, knowing how freaked out Anakin would get. But that's just my opinion. Personally, I thought it was a brilliant move on the Emperor's part n_n

The Candyman! Cause the Candyman can! (willy wonka . . . yeah . ..) Oh, sorry, I mean MANDALORE. Ohhh, he has power now . . . sekseh ^_^ Although, after watching my brother twist his whole party to the darkside *wipes tear from eye -- it was so beautiful* I actually like Atton now. I know, I know. But I thought he was a Carth 2.0 But he isn't! He supported Revan! . . . both my brother and I think Revan to be DSF . . . and he killed people! So he's not so bad after all n_n But Canderous. I mean Mandalore. Whatever. That guy, with the stuff . . .

Er, I dunno if I posted here or not, because there's been a lot of these . . . so if I have, sorry. And if you've read my opinion a billion times before, HAHA SUCKS TO BE YOU! j/k actually, most of you know what I'm all about by now, I bet O_o Gods, I need a life . . . DSer forever man! I feel like a total fool and idiot doing LS. I just . . . can't bring myself to do it . . . eewwwww, makes me feel like puking, it does o_o;

For a title, I'd prefer being called by the male, more often than not. Sir, Master, Lord . . . unless it's a specific position like Lady or Emperess, I'd want to be known by the male idiom. Not only because (maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me) the connotation of a female title usually denotes a more powerful male a position above, but also, male terms are more unisex. There are very few things in the English language that are specifically female. And I think that's because it's in possession of someone, rather than something that stands on it's own. "I own that boat. She's mine." Also, in groups (and I'm also borrowing from French [other Romance languages as well?] so it's not just an English thing) you refer to everyone as male, if it's mixed gender. Male pronouns and titles and whatever, are given to both men and men and women. Female's only get female. "Hey you guys!" refers to anyone, even if the word itself is technically male. But if you said "Hey you girls!" that would mean nary a boy in sight o_O So as a Sith, I'd want to be called Master and Lord. As for the man in woman . . . it seems that men are depandant on women. Because without the word woman, there wouldn't be the word man. ^_^ PS: I hope I made sense o_o;

I can't play as light. I play a ton of DSF characters and then sometimes I force myself to play LS to see how it ended up. Or I make my brother play LS so I can watch and just wince at all the goodie-goodie stuff he does, rather than feel like vomiting I do agree that the Darkside is usually cheapened out and not as well written as the Lightside . . . But I just can't make myself do that Jedi crap. Ew. KOTOR I has outdated controls? And why can't you play as female? I much prefer being female (even if we get the short end of the stick. Damn. DSF gets all the shortcomings of the game ) but I'll play as male as well. . . . If you don't know what happens in the game, why not play female and find out?

Isn't it www.fanfiction.net? Well, anyhoo, you can write as much as you'd like . . . it doesn't matter. You post it by chapter, so you can have the whole story done, or part of it done as you add, or even add as you finish each chapter. Waiting for the whole thing to be done will deprive us of fanfiction goodness O_O And we all need more kotor fanfic. Isn't there also the kotor fan media site or something? Used to be kotor ffic? . . . ah . . . here it is . . . http://kotorfanmedia.com/ This way you'll get a lot more literary minded people, and you can link to it from here and post about updates so we can check it out. Plus, the formatting will be better . . . But I do like you starting off with the Mandalorians ^_^

There we go, someone else said it. Ghost of Anakin, that's exactly what I was talking about. You go to three places, and CAN'T CHOOSE. Don't tell me I haven't played and that I'm a liar. Tell me what you can choose. Tell me right now where the hell I can choose to go and I'll shut up. Tell me why I have to drag my butt through a game multiple times before I really enjoy it. That's not how it is -- I played and I have an opinion. It's too effing linear. That's my first impression. Maybe it'll change as I become more . . .seasoned at the game. But my first impression stands. No matter how many times you guys say I didn't play it. I did. Hell, I could post all sorts of spoilers, but I don't need you guys to validate me. Do I piss you off because I won't bend to your way of thinking? Is that it? Because I won't say that you're right? Because I know I'm right. This is what I thought while playing. "Please don't let this be the ending. Please let this be a trick and you have to chase down Master Li around all sorts of places because he escapes you and come back to the palace later." That was at the final fight. Unforunately, I was wrong. I couldn't believe that was it. Tell me where the wiggle room in the game was. Tell me. And don't say "you get to choose open palm or closed fist" because you come across that no matter what, in conversation. So tell me guys. Where's are all these mysterious hours of play time I've missed? Where is the non-linear story? Where are all these places you get to go? Because, as you've said so many times, I've obviously not played because we really do get TONS of choice. So where's my choice? Hm?

I DO have an idea what I'm talking about. Yes, I know I need to play more, and I want to play more and I have a few more characters I've been playing with. That still doesn't change the fact that it's a very concentrated story. Is it bad? No. It's fun. I've said that. Yes, it actually has an ending. That's good. It wraps itself up. That's good. What's bad is that I was severely disappointed. And no matter how many times you guys tell me I'm "wrong" and that I "haven't played" it doesn't change the fact that the game does not match the hype. With the reviews and such that I read, I was expecting a much grander game. I didn't get it. I was mad. Don't tell me I'm wrong. ^^ What man? Oh, and I already said it took me only 16 hours to play. Trust me, I'd love to be wrong and have missed another 16 hours of the gameplay, but I highly doubt it.

I played it. And I was disappointed. Which is putting it lightly. I spent $70 on it, and I'm still kicking myself over it. It's fun to play, but definately not to own. No effing duh it started at the beginning. Read what I said. Everything happens all at once. It's just bang bang bang, you're done. I was shocked that the only place you go to is the Imperial City. I thought that you'd have to search around for other wind maps to EVENTUALLY get to the Imperial City. But you're almost immediately put in there. The twists come about half-way through the actual game. Unforunately, that's about 16 hours of total play. And that's including smoke breaks and food. So it only took me 8 hours to come to the big twist. The game went by much too fast. It should have been stretched out way more. I found it very superficial. But don't get me wrong, I really do like the game. It IS fun and it's pretty and the story is good. But much too condensed . . . like concentrated orange juice o_O It's okay when you're used to it. The game's good, but not great.

I have Jade Empire. It sucks. Good game, but it SUCKS. Why? Too short. Character development is shoddy. Plot development and twists happen much too soon and too early in the game. You meet all your people way too soon. There are no places to visit. It's linear. There is no real customization of your character. You have no choices. You go from here to there to yonder, and you're done. At least KOTOR II has places to visit, and you don't just go from point A to point B. You can move around and explore completely different places. IT takes the whole game to gather your party. Yes, KOTOR II has a lot of flaws, but I still stand by my first statement. I think it's because of the ending that we're picking it apart and trying to find all the other problems too. If the ending had been up to speed and had been loved, we could forgive the alignment problems, the silly bugs, things like that. Because we'd say "oh, the game's great! It's so much fun, I mean, the problems are no biggie. I just need to reload a save game or figure out the right dialogue! It's no worry!" See, we'd be happy happy. But we're not. If they had effed up the beginning and given us a stelar ending, we still would be happy. Because whatever comes last is stuck freshest in our minds and that's what we use to judge something on a whole. Why do you think Brutus's speech failed? He went first, not last. Why do you think the Crown/D.A. speaks last? Because they'll have the better impact. The ending is SO important. And because it's broke, it's given us space to tear apart what's a relatively good game. Maybe I'm rambling. Oh, and I'm female n_n

Mmm, nekked Mandalore . . . Sorry, that's all I had to add. *poofs*

Getting a lightsabre right away would be boring! I like working towards my sabre and such . . . To me, as mentioned, the context of "true Sith" now are those who were raised Sith or trained strictly as Sith, never as Jedi. Also, I take it to mean those who actually follow the code, rather than living up to Jedi stereotype to "prove" their sithiness. But that last one is of my own mind n_n No lightsabre at level one! Make us work for it! It's an rpg for the Gods sakes! Why not just make it a first person shooter/sword . . . er . . . yeah . . . sword version of "shooter" anyone? Please? Need word here . . . Anyhoo, they should definately reintroduce the lightsabre concept that we were told about so long ago but got scrapped without us knowing it until we pestered Atris constantly and wore out every conversation option and searched the whole damed place ready to slaughter every living being within until I got my old sabre back . . . *grumble* Sorry, rant. It's 4:30 in the morning O_o My point is thus: the idea that we could make a sabre, or do a bonus mission which would take more time and effort but would be worth it, as it would lead to us getting our original lightsabre back. Don't know the context in which a sabre would be taken from us in KOTOR III, but I thought it was a good idea when we first learned of it. Too bad I wasted time remembering and actually trying to get my old sabre in KOTOR II If we have to start off as Jedi, please no sabre. It just wouldn't be fun. Can we start off as Sith? No, I'm serious, I have like, a whole script in my head as to how that would work and it'd be fun . . . Sorry, again, 4:30am.

It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for Revan and Nihilus to be the same at any point. Even with interesting conjecture, this is the proof. Nihilus wiped out Visas's people. She was the last one left and she was just a child and has been with him forever and a day. If Nihilus was Revan, why no mention of Revan by her? And why wasn't Revan's destruction of the Miraluka and all those Jedi ever mentioned? I'm pretty sure wiping out a whole species save one taken as an apprentice would generate SOME gossip. Not to mention the Star Forge. Why would NihilusRevan! be using a craptastic ship when he/she'd have the Star Forge at his/her disposal. And Visas explicitly says that Nihilus is "a man". Even with all the dialogue mistakes as to Revan's gender, that's a bit to exact to be a mistake. As mentioned, Revan could have been LS. But my main point is the first one. The stories between them are way to different for them to have ever emerged from the same plot point. Maybe the look of Nihilus was spawned from Revan, who knows, I don't know. But there's no way Nihilus was originally Revan.

The problem isn't that the game sucks. The problem is that the game DOESN'T suck. The game is excellent, it's wonderful, it's stupendous . . . I'm gonna run out of superlatives soon o_O It's the ending that sucks. It hits you so hard and horribly because you go through this amazing game and love every second of it, then suddenly, a horrid ending. If the whole game had been average or below average, the ending wouldn't be bad in comparison and we wouldn't be complaining. But it's because the game was so good that the ending just doesn't add up, which makes for a very bitter taste in our mouths. In a way, it's a backwards, vicious compliment. It shows that they did such an amazing job with the game that we can really see it and really feel it when it drops off.

I managed to see it, someone sent it to me . . . it was so coolies. I made my brother watch too and he wuffed it n_n

Who cares if my "beliefs" aren't shared by Kreia? I still haven't decided whether I like her or not, but she's wrong. You can't destroy the Force. End of story. She could struggle all she wanted, but look what it got her. Indecision and death. Whoopie.

Okay, um . . . I saw the teaser and that seems to be different from what all you guys are talking about . . . and that link posted is only audio . . . so I wanna see it o_o And I don't think I'm gonna bother commenting on that whole nature/dark side thing or else I'll get too pissy . . . Er, any reason why the link doesn't work for me?

So we deal with imperfect things or things that may cause bad situations by destroying them? Everything comes with its price. Nothing is purely good or bad. Everything is balanced. To destroy the Force would be like destroying energy. It isn't gonna happen and it's stupid to do so. Someone cutting themselves off from the Force is vastly different from completely stripping the Force out of the Galaxy against others wills "for their own good" or for what "may happen in the future." Good intentions pave the road to hell. No utopia can ever exist. So even if new Jedi saw that soon there would be fallen Jedi to challenge them, who are they to judge from their seats of self-righteousness what is good and bad? What is right for the universe? It needs to be balanced and to only have the "light" or the one side of the Force wouldn't itself be right. The Force is neither dark nor light, so why are only the "light guys" the good guys? The Force doesn't judge itself in such terms.

I like you n_n But failing that at least the chance to FULLY become a member of the Dark Side. Rather than just be Sith or Dark Jedi and still have to continue to do things for the Jedi, to actually join "the other side" or something. That way we avoid the embarrassment of being called Jedi when we're obviously not <_<

Doesn't Kreia say something about the name Traya being adopted by whoever the Lord is at the time? She says that she had the name and that Atris was the new Traya, but that her time was over and that she (Kreia) was becoming Traya again. Or something like that. Lots of name-trading. So Traya isn't just Kreia: it's anyone who takes it. I guess you have to play DS or something to get that? o_O

Why do the guys get to do strong things or cool things and the women get deligated to being weaklings or whores? And if the Exile couldn't manipulate people and it was all a lie, then wtf was influence? Maybe I just gave them chocolate bars under the table . . .

This whole force control you or force not control you thing . . . I dunno. I thought that it influenced you, that it guided you, but that you ultimately make up your own mind. Like it's a trail that you're walking on; it's guiding you along, but that doesn't mean you can't sit down for awhile or talk with a friend or use your cell phone or deviate off the path for a bit because you saw a cool animal . . . You still have choice, even if you have to follow this trail in one way or another. Or do I make no sense o_O
