Lord Tarondor

TSL is bad for its additions outside of the workbench/med lab but even those two are flawed. Item worth when breaking down is a waste of a good item or item since you can generally just sell it for a mess of credits, buy a plethora of Advandced Medpacs and breaking down which is so much cheaper The Force Powers added are silly because 1] You aren't the Chosen One or Luke Skywalker and 2] This is thinking on your feet, constantly in motion, no time to 'train' sort of Star Wars playing. You can be Master Yoda in a game which takes place in no more than one year of time -- Yoda's f'ing 900 years old; you're given too many options for power, too many Force Feats which is 'unrealistic' Star Wars canon-wise and deadens the realism you feel when you're placed into the position of the Exile. KoTOR'1 while it is up the same alley, has only the basic Force Powers -- stun droid, heal, jump, run, lightning and choke which gives it that movie-like feel. With all the powers you get in KoTOR'2, the game is unenjoyable because the greatest challenge comes when you're Atton Rand on Nar Shadaa and only because you haven't spent time developing the character. Even when sticking to Light Side when getting powers, making decisions, and not purchasing at all and doing the noble thing constantly, the game is easy. With the Dark Side (or Light Side with purchasing/selling), you have 60,000 credits by the end of the first planet after Telos unless you do the Sith Homeworld first. Furthermore, the game is *riddled* with descreprencies filled with plot holes and when all's said and done, I felt like I had wasted a whole lotta time for mumbo-jumbo bull**** which would make Alec Guinness cry in anguish (The same type of mumbo-jumbo bull**** that got Obi-Wan killed off earlier than he was supposed to be). All the discussion of bonds, of echoes, and of past -- for what? A dumb ending I will blame Obsidian for. They're a rookie company trying to contend with LucasArts -- I blame the rookie company. Which brings up my next point: I'm tired of George Lucas-bashing and I'm tired of LucasArts-bashing; shut the bloody hell up if you do not like it; it's their f'ing merchandise, its his f'ing movie and he can do what he f'ing wants, call whatever shots he wants concering canon, if he so deem it, make Yoda die in the third movie despite the five and six having him in it! I'm tired of people passing judgment w/o realising these movies aren't for twenty-year old die hards who argue over stupid things like whether or not Han shot first or sixteen-year olds who are trying to act cool by dissing him just cause. These movies aren't for you -- they're for kids and always haven been. You may not like how simple it is to find out the bad guys who are supposed to be secretive or like the Gungans or Ewoks but kids love'em -- my nephews and nieces adore Jar Jar and they didn't even know Emperor Palpatine was evil until they watched V when they were over. Its basic evil versus good, and considering its audience (I wonder why its PG :rollseyes:), its good. Its like saying HP sucks because its too kiddy -- its for bloody kids. Oddly enough, both garner adult and teen attention because its interesting, easy to follow, and entertaining above all. Getting back on track, Obsidian was given a damn deadline, undoubtedly, and you know what? They couldn't meet it with a good game. No one ever takes LucasArts's issues in though, either. No one might think that George Lucas is wanting to make it easier for all three departments by moving them together to one locale and in the process they had to cut not only the KoTOR III team but also the deadline. I pass the 'blame' so to speak on Obsidian, who was handed the Oddessy Engine which was perfect for now since its storyline that drives RPGs, not always great graphics; handed a storyline which could write itself in its sleep; handed returning voice actors/actresses of a calibre -- they produced half-assed, mumbo-jumbo ****. This game, when boiled down, is an expansion and all I can point to is the fact that Blizzard Ent. and Sony Online Ent. are capable of adding expansions with not only new items but new systems that are for more complex than the workbench options as well as a new plot that at least strives to be different from what its expanding on. They crank these out in generally 6-12 months of the 'original's' release and are, oddly enough, filled with less bugs and issues than KoTOR'2. I won't be calling TSL its own game because its not a game -- its half of one and its an expansion to KoTOR that builds on to its story but doesn't really drive it forward. Hell, I found out more about the events that took place in the first in the second than I did in the first -- it made the main character of the first all the more godlier. Case and point? TSL is trash and a waste of a full-game. It should have been an expansion for

True, a droid is only as funny as his creator makes him.

CAP'N EXILE SPARROW!

No one wins against Obi-Wan Kenobi -- Obi gets tired of living/has a greater purpose if anything.

Your fly is open.

How many repair skills?

You're seriously wrong -- LucasFilms is moving all three branches -- Films, Arts, and its Gfx/Sfx studio to one location because George wants them too -- he doesn't like how his corporation is being run and he purchased a large chunk of land to design where they'll all be.. LucasFilms laid people off because of this (as well as Arts) and one of the teams that suffered was Knights of the Old Republic III, who had begun the game (rough drafts, brainstorming, etc). Its pretty much a given once the switch is made and everything is undercontrol as GL and the board want it.

*Light-Sided hero enters Lord Tarondor's Throne Room, the final level of a six hundred hour game* Light-Sided Hero> *walks up to 'usual' last dialogue triggering point* Darth Tarondor> *stands up* Light-Sided Hero> *stares pointedly, waiting for dialogue to begin* Darth Tarondor> *tilts head to side, waits a moment, steps forward draws lightsaber and stabs Light-Sided hero in the abdomen* Light-Sided Hero> *reels back and coughs* WTF?!?! Darth Tarondor> I've played all the games and watched all the movies in which a 'Final Meeting' takes place between good and evil and I've deduced that the cryptic philosophical bull**** imparted in the ending scene that allows time for you to strategise an effective manner in which to despose of me does not bode well for us villians -- to be blunt: I decided to **** your **** up before you could mine this time around.

Add some things that Carth and Canderous say in KoTOR 1 and what planets are best for that type of interaction.

A level 7 Jedi Guardian that serves as canon fodder until the council realises he's the bastard-child of a Dark Lord who fondled a woman on Tatooine. He turns to the Dark Side because he can't cope with keeping the big secret that he's married to a level 5 Queen from some planet that recently came into existence via a cheesy author who thinks the Basilisk War Droid is a beast that thinks on its own.

Carth was such a ****ty character. Females should have had the option of romancing Zaalbar... or better yet Bastila. The lesbian thing is cool.

Sly.

No one likes how Darth Maul did it?

Dude, spoiler Darth Sidious is Palpatine and Obi-Wan Kenobi turns into Darth Vader

I don't know why he says that -- Mace Windu isn't really threatening Palpatine

You flaunt the Dark Side, Darth Newbie (Zacarus) -- my Hands, attack! Above has been promoted Ewok Scout

LOL

You should be grateful .

Ya, the Yoda versus Darth Sidious duel will be the best part of the entire movie. Just looking at the Senate Building and how wicked he laughs, you know its going to be interesting. I don't want to see the Jedi Hall massacre... meh, it just proves how much Anakin is such a girl, a crybaby, and how pathetic he is -- I don't look forward to it. The children, I say! The children! I still wish Obi-Wan would kiss Padme. I'd just laugh -- I think Obi-Wan needs to slip up and furthermore, I want Anakin to suffah!

Twas hard to choose between the Kreia Method and the Sarlacc, really... BTW, this is just a silly poll poking a little fun at Topaz -- I don't really intend (too much) harm towards him.

Since we're doing fun polls, I decided to do one.

The Jedi philosophies are in fact neutral because the opposites of hatred, anger, and so forth are preached as both stepping stones towards the aforementioned emotions and feelings but if you look at it, both can be stepping stones towards either side. Jedi don't seek to 'progress' nor go backwards -- they don't seek battle nor impose their positions. The Jedi who does his job and doesn't seek glory is trusted and is a natural leader because he doesn't try to be the leader -- people just see him and put him as the leader because they're pretty much buddhists.

A younger person who is not related to anyone but gets dragged into the mix, has no previous experience with the Force, knows nothing of Jedi, and lives on Coruscant so that planet can be utilised -- an escape sort of mission since the Senate should by now, with all the wars going on, evict and eradicate the Jedi due to insecurity. Realism, I say!
