Actually, you're right - the HK-47/G0T0/Remote ending doesn't work without the HK factory, and since that is central to the ultimate fate of Malachor V, we need that back in the story too. Strange thing is that even though the part was cut from the game, LA still confirmed it as canon, given that New Essential Guide to Droids mentions G0T0's "death" on Malachor V.

Ehm, except throughout all of K1? LS/DS is "eliminated" by the common stance against the true Sith (whoever they are), because they are either a threat to the Republic that LS Revan must stop or else a threat of DS Revan's dream of an empire. But the same is just as true for the exile. As for mask, sure, you can fix the gender/appearance by having both Revan and exile wear masks, but why bother? How many different faces do you have for Revan in K1 and exile in TSL to choose from? And they all worked out just fine, even though that's probably the most seen face in each game. It's a total nonissue. Voice is actually more challenging, but not really a problem - TSL has lots of cut Traya dialogue by both Kreia and Atris, depeding on who turned out to be Traya in the originally planned plot. So having both male and female alternatives for both Revan and exile is not really a major problem. Some argue that exile never spoke in TSL (whereas Revan does make "ready"-comments in K1), but frankly I'd rather have a fixed voice for exile than not have the character speak at all. Kreia: "Instead, I remained here... and now show others the way.But the way lies past me. If you wish to go, then you need to stop me.It is your choice. I had hoped you would follow Revan's path, but you and Revan are... different, and your path is your own.You may take one of the ships that orbit Malachor and depart this place. Or you may remain here on Malachor, and wait for the others, those touched by the Force, who will come in time.Or you may return to your exile, where your presence will no longer affect the actions of others. There is no dishonor in any of these choices... I only ask that you make the choice without regret." Well, I'll admit getting that mask is optional and only if you don't sacrifice Visas. Obviously she was human, but are there even any of the Mandalorian species left? Didn't seem so to me. Besides, Mira tells the exile she is of mandalorian descent. A slave? Sure, but all the neo-mandalorians were until they decided to join. That's true of all mandalorians we've seen taking their masks off in the games, though I'll admit those numbers are few. We didn't, which is why exploring that is a viable option. Didn't say you were. That comment was not directed at you. But there are fanboys out there who have a very exaggerated opinion of just how powerful Revan was and is. Satisfied?

Unlike Revan? Again, this is just as much an argument against Revan as against the exile. Did Revan's alignment from K1 matter to what role he/she played and had gone in TSL? No. The same will be true of Revan in K3 and is actually even more appropriate for the exile, given that there is very little difference in where the character ends up at the end of the game regardless of LS/DS choice. LS choice: Revan needs you, go and help him. DS choice: Revan needs help, you can go yourself now or you can stay on Malachor V showing others the way before you go yourself later. Plotwise not a lot of difference IMHO. K1 had far, far more different LS and DS endings for Revan. Exile kicked way more and had people taking numbers by the end of TSL. Revan's alleged abilities are mostly in the minds of fanboys. He was a powerful jedi, sure, and a excellent strategist, according the mandalorians, but there is nothing to confirm him as the ultimate force-god that some people seem to perceive him to be. Besides, if LA wanted it, Revan could be killed by a pack of gizka. Yes, but no more so than the exile. What, the exile cannot wear a mask? I certainly remember the exile getting a mask in TSL Yes... though only in theory The idea of a jedi of mandalorian origin is not new. Indeed, we already had one in TSL if you trained Mira. It's been speculated about before, but there should be a better plot reason for it than "OMG, Mandalorians kick ass, so a Mandalorian Jedi must ROXXR!!!" (sorry, not quite into all that jargon). If there is a plot reason, why not. I've yet to see one that looked compelling to me, though. Indeed, playing the son or daughter (gender choice) of Saul Karath or such would seem far more intereresting IMHO.

Waste of talent IMHO. I mean, have you seen Patrick Stewart as the bad guy in "Conspiracy Theories"? Brrr...

McKellen was Gandalf in LotR, yes, and has expressed interest in reprising the role for The Hobbit, which now thankfully looks like it might actually be made with McKellen in just that role. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903624/ Heck, he liked Gandalf so much that he turned it down when they offered him the role of Dumbledore in Harry Potter, which may be the reason why you heard wrong. Richard Harris played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies before he passed away, which was the point at which it was offered to McKellen. He turned it down, however, because he did not want to be a associated with two old wizards, and so it instead went to Michael Gambon who has played Dumbledore since. McKellen himself, however, is fine and still working - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005212/

We'd have a lil' of a problem, since dead people can't act... And if it could act he'd be amazing as a force ghost Whoa, who died? McKellen and Stewart are both fine last thing I heard. Still, they'd be wrong for those characters. Morgan Freeman would be better as Jolee, and Stewart is way, way too cool an actor to play Mr. Cheesy. Merely being bald does turn Stewart into Malak. Vin Diesel would be far more appropriate.

I'm not so sure about that. Sure there is a lot more to the end-game now, but I'd say that Nar Shaddaa would have about the same amount of added content as Malachor. Though I must admit the additions to Malachor help it actually make sense, which it never did before. I meant more in the sense of plot structure and story development. Sure a lot was cut from Nar Shaddaa, but it did not hurt the game to such a degree that it wounded the plot IMHO. So while I look forward to restored content of Nar Shaddaa, I don't think the game needs it for the plot to hang together. I cannot say the same about Malachor V.

Lots of advice here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/920601.html I don't recommend the guardian, though. I played a guardian in KotOR1, but since skills are far, far more important and useful in TSL, I prefer the sentinel. It's fine either way, though. Unlike K1, TSL is easy with very few or no truly difficult encounters, even at the highest difficulty level. And the exile tends to be rediculously uber-powered by the end of the game anyway.

Well, obviously the endgame is the part of the game most harmed by the rushed deadline, so naturally that would probably be what most of us look forward to. Certainly I do. Malachor in the released version is terrible plotwise - long and boring slashfests in rocky terrain or pointless corridors with the NPCs disappearing into thin air with no explanation. Basically the plot goes into suspended animation from the moment you hit (!) Malachor V until you get to interact with Sion or, more appropriately, Traya. Restoring some actual plot to that dungeon crawl would indeed be a high point in my eyes. That's not to say I'm not looking forward to other stuff, though. The HK factory and Genoharadan bit is stuff to look forward too as well.

And to recap: Currently build 1.0b10 and 8 bugs remaining.

Agreed. This is exactly the reason why playing as Revan or exile again would suck. You cannot start at level 20+, because progressive development of the character is one of the most engrossing parts of the game. For a d20-derived game like KotOR, that means gaining experience levels and building powers, so you must start at level 1. And we already did that with both Revan and exile. That's not to say they are not essential to the plot, however. They must both be in any K3 plot, and not merely as names that are conveniently killed off in the background. I'll be truly disappointed if they turn up dead in the plot.

After illegally downloading their work? DW, some of your posts were retarted enough in Codex to generate lulz for coming generations. Please do not continue it here Ain't that the truth. Please cool it down, guys. This is not leading us anywhere positive. I'd hate to see this particular topic turn into a flamefest and have it locked by the mods. Besides, any generalizations against DW is strictly off topic and neither interesting nor constructive IMHO.

Is that better or worse than That's from the Colbert Report originally, isn't it?

Sheesh - this topic is three and a half years old

Yes, that's an image we all want in our heads... Thanks a bunch...

That LA/Bioware project is NOT KotOR3. In fact, it's not KotOR at all. See my sig. Meh... until something's ACTUALLY been announced on LA.com or Bioware.com, I'm not giving up hope. There've just been too many articles that have been released contradicting the one in your siggy. So I've learned over time not to believe anything that doesn't come straight from the horse's mouth, be it good OR bad news. We've seen lots of articles speculating about KotOR3 or KotOR MMO for the purpose of peddling their articles, since they know full well that fans hungry for news about KotOR is no small crowd. It's precisely for that reason I point to my sig, since it links to an article where IGN actually spoke to a LA representative who said the LA/Bioware collaboration has nothing to do with KotOR. Now, I may not credit IGN with being highly believable when they speculate about games, but in this case they quote LA directly, and I do trust IGN to be accurate then they refer to the actual company as their source. So in short, either the LA/Bioware project is indeed not related to KotOR at all, or else either LA or IGN is directly lying to the public. I doubt LA or IGN would do that, because the consequences of doing so would be devastating. Nobody would ever believe anything IGN wrote or said ever again, so they can't afford to do so. And it would be pretty bad for LA as well for pretty much the same reason. And note that it's a quote directly from LA in quotation marks, which means it does indeed come straight from the horse's mouth. If that is incorrectly quoted with LA as a source, that's grounds for legal action by LA against IGN. I doubt IGN would risk that, too. So no, there is no LA/Bioware KotOR3. It's not under development. It doesn't exist. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along. Besides, how is saying Bioware is not doing KotOR3 giving up hope? Frankly, I'd much rather have Obsidian do it, and it's been a while since I've heard Obsidian deny they're working on KotOR3. Even if they're not, that doesn't mean KotOR3 is not being considered. LA had better get it right this time, though, which may explain the delay.

No need to be a sith lord for that

To be fair: 1. That clip of McCain was uploaded to YouTube in febuary 2007, at which point Putin was at least still president of Russia. 2. Merkel is indeed in charge of Germany, though she is only Kanzler (equal to Prime Minister in many countries). The head of state in Germany is still the president. Currently that position is filled by Horst K

I never thought so. But then maybe I'm just a slave to the old rules of action adventures. 1. Talk to or examine EVERYTHING. 2. Explore EVERY square of the game map EVERYWHERE. 3. Save often and in different slots.

That LA/Bioware project is NOT KotOR3. In fact, it's not KotOR at all. See my sig. I don't think so. I have speculated that the LA/Bioware project is indeed a Star Wars MMO set between episodes 3 and 4, because it would fit the schedule for LA's live-action Star Wars tv-series, which is set to hit tv screens next year, but that's all speculation on my part. Unless, of course, it's now confirmed, in which case I get to toot my horn about how clever I am I haven't seen anything to suggest that, though.

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080...utube-data.html So basically Viacom wants to see what videos have been uploaded to YouTube to see how infringing they are. Okay. And they want to see how often those allegedly infringing videos have been seen. Okay. So they need all YouTube username and IP address information of everyone who ever visited YouTube for that, right? Woah - hold on a second... YouTube has a count for each video ever show. That being the case, why does Viacom need to see my YouTube historic (or yours)? Let alone what right they have to it... I smell something fishy... as in "fishing expedition". Meanwhile the sound hear in the background is the death rattle of privacy rights. Why am I suddenly so glad I've never had an account on YouTube? And why does court bend over backwards to Viacom's whims? Sure, they protected YouTube/Google's "right" to keep their source code and video ID to themselves - that's workproduct. But when it comes to the rights of the user, the protection magically evaporates... Seems to me like court is only interested in protecting the rights of big business - who can afford legal representation - while the rights of the average Joe gets thrown to the winds... EDIT: A related video: http://news.cnet.com/1606-2_3-50002896.html?tag=nefd.top Oh, and on the related subject, happy 4. of July, USA

It does? I only noticed Alec Guiness and William Holden in it - I'll have to check again You should. It may be a war movie, but calling it that is like calling Star Wars a mere sci-fi movie or Lord of the Rings a fantasy movie. They are more than that - they are classics, and so is "The Bridge of the River Kwai". Just the fact that the director is David Lean (who directed Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago) should say a lot. Or have people forgotten him? He used to be classed right up there with Spielberg, Kubrick and their like.

Oh, knock it off. Since Dashus has already said he is still working on the mod, the conspiracy theory has a big, gaping hole in it. Besides, it's not as if Team Gizka need excuses if they don't want to finish. They do this work on a voluntary basis and receive no money or other form of payment for it. Hence if they want to pull the plug, they can simply do so. Even if people are miffed about it, it's not as if it's difficult thinking up new screennames. So let this theory lie - it's dead, Jim!
