Yeah... with lightsaber nightsticks...

Both Wookieepedia and IMDb still lists it to be expected in 2009. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_l...ction_TV_series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458291/ Besides, even if it is postponed, it makes little difference to the argument - games are notorious for being delayed too, TSL being a notable exception in that it was released two months before originally planned...

Wow. Definitely showing... LA's target demographics

AFAIK, Sony's license for a Star Wars MMORPG is set to run out in 2009, which incidentally just happens to be the year the tv show begins. So my suspicion would be that Galaxies will be discontinued and shut down to make way for a new MMORPG set in the time between episodes III and IV just like the tv show will be. But we'll have to wait and see, I guess. Not that I'll play either anyway...

Hmmm, let's see... Kiph was a slicer in TSL Bib Fortuna was Jabba's majordomo in ROTJ Mission Vao was a street urchin in K1 Yuthura Ban was a jedi-turned-sith (and possibly turned jedi right back again) in K1 Guun San Haresh was a jedi in the Great Hunt referenced in K1 Tott Doneeta was a jedi during the Sith War some forty years before K1 Zhar Lestin wa a jedi master who trained Revan in K1 and previously according to TSL Those would seem to me to those best known to KotOR players...

Not sure there are that few jedi left. Order 66 mostly just did away with the council and the top jedi, but there could still be any number out there. Somehow it would be cool if people get to play jedi only to hunted down and killed by the Empire - serves the little munchkin-fanboys right Bioware: "Certainly you can play a jedi in the new MMORPG." Fanboy: "Oh that is, like, so cool. I'll make TEH MOST POWAFUL JEDI EVA! HE'LL ROXXORS!" (Don't ask - I don't even know what that means...) Bioware: "Sure. Just choose 'jedi' here and go min/max your stats..." [continues while slipping knife in player's back]. That would be cool. It'd be worth it just to watch all the little munchkin wanna-be jedi players get wiped out over servers worldwide for their immature little fanboy jedi wet dreams. Sure, they'll be upset, but then they are anyway. Maybe that's why LA and Bioware made a separate website for this More like dozens of dozens of times... if not dozens of dozens of dozens of times. I know I've said it often enough

Hmm, Summoner. I liked that for some reason. Total rip-off, but I liked the atmosphere and the plot twist. As for replaying games, I recently played a remake of Millennium 2.2. How's that for replaying old games? I mean, it's close to two decades old now or something?

That's it... I feel like a stoning... "Say... Are there any women here today?" Hey Pidesco, you might as well shout "Jehova" now

Kreia and Handmaiden of the choices offered. My favorite character is a contest between Kreia and Visas with T3 a clear third. I like Visas, but mostly it's because she is so mysterious, and frankly, once you've talked to her thoroughly, and usually in one long conversation, she has nothing to say afterwards. Since I don't want to be accused of liking women to be silent, I'll have to rank Kreia higher just for that reason alone Besides, Kreia is just about the best written character in any computer game ever. She has some of the best one-liners, even compared to movies and tv shows, and she is complex and insidious too. Yes, she's also a manipulative, evil old hag as well, but she sure isn't your usually cheesy villain lilke Malak. Kreia has a cause, and in her own demented way, she is the heroine of her own philosophies, since she is willing to sacrifice herself to her ideals. T3 is a powerhouse in TSL, but he's also more of a character. In K1 he was just bleeding trash compactor bleebing his way through various access codes and nothing more. In TSL he is the secret mover and shaker of things, who manipulates the circumstances and stages events as Revan would want them to be, at least to the extent that T3 interprets it. It's nice to see a droid that can have a heart of gold and remain the secret power behind the throne at the same time. Oh, and he gets to zap HK-47 Next I would probably choose Bao-Dur, HK-47 (who IS funny, even if the humor is dark), Handmaiden, Atton, Disciple, G0T0 (nasty, but voice-acted so well), Mira, Hanharr and finally Mandalore, who may be hard as nails, but whose utter disregard for life and shameless pride at how he and his people killed the innocent makes me cringe... If only I could have made him see why he and his people are pigs, it might not have been so bad, but the option to do so is not there, which sucks. Of the optional characters, I like Handmaiden better than the others. I don't hate the Disciple, but next to the Atris-Exile-Handmaiden triangle drama, his plot impact just plain sucks IMHO, and his long rants of morality and ethics can be really annoying too. Mira's attitude is even worse at times, though. She's supposed to play this tough young woman character, but shows way too much cleavage to take serious in that regard. At least Handmaiden does it because she likes the exile. In Handmaiden's case, I could at least care about her issues. Mira just bit my head off for no particular reason, at which point I stopped caring what her problem was. Perky kid? Try overconfident and self-important... Her constant bragging about me being "her bounty" was not "fun", just annoying... Hanharr is better written, but he's a pig with few redeeming features. Yes, I get why he ended up as he did - his background is interesting, but it does not make me want to be anywhere near him. As interesting as his reasons for killing his tribe are, it still leaves him as a crazed murderer.

That's what I thought, which is why I shamelessly stole it... http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/index.html

His guardian angel Or God. Or a manifestation of a part of himself that he suppresses. A hallucination created by his own sick mind or by drugs. 42. A ghost or spirit. Personally, I'd go with a manifestation of his mind or a hallucination, but who knows. Point is, the last cylon could be anyone. But since it would undermine all of Baltar's betrayals if he turns out to be a cylon, I tend to doubt he's the last cylon. I mean, if Baltar is a cylon, then he really didn't betray his own people, did he? Therefore it cheapens his actions, and would not be good writing IMHO. Baltar has to be human for that reason alone. Besides, Baltar is pathetic, self-centered, cowardly, selfish, egotistical, narcissistic and self-absorbed, all of which makes him the most human character on the show. I have this pet theory that lots of people don't want him to be human for that reason - because if he's a cylon, then all these unsavory characteristics can be written off as being cylon. And we don't like those aspects of humanity, do we? So let's write them off to cylon-land. If Ron Moore does that, it will be cheap. But I doubt that he will. He's too good a writer, and if he can highlight this point when he confirms Baltar as human, then he's a bloody genius. One pet theory of my own, though. Going back all the way to the mini-series, do people recall that a message was left in Adama's quarters saying there twelve cylon models? Now, who wrote that message? And why? Why didn't this person just come forward and spill the beans? My theory is that it was Baltar. He knew there were twelve models, because Six told him so just before the bombs went off on Caprica. And being on the run with the fleet, he wanted to warn Adama, yet couldn't come out and say it, because it would draw questions to his source, which he couldn't get into without also revealing his own treason as far as the part he played in compromising the defenses of Caprica. I suspect that will be revealed at one point, when they really do want to kill Baltar. I suspected it would come up at the trial in Baltar's defense, but then again maybe it didn't exactly because it would again draw attention to his treason on Caprica, which he couldn't afford at the time. But... just a theory.

As stated by Darth Windu, no, they aren't the same. The HK droid factory is on Telos. Ever noticed that lone HK-50 unit in the military base, where you find the shuttle that will take you to Atris? You can fix it, but not talk to it, and it explodes without explanation about five seconds later. Right behind it is a door to a sublevel that you cannot open. That's the entrance to the droid factory, but it is for HK units only, and since you don't have HK-47 in the group yet at that point in the game, you can't enter. It was supposed to be a solo-mission for HK-47 later in the game while the Exile and co. are taking down Nihilus and his forces. When TSLRP is done, it will be. The droid planet, M4-78, is totally different. Not a lot of work was done for it, and much of what was got moved to other parts of the game. As I understand it, Team Gizka decided to restore only what they could discern Obsidian intended to be in the game, and since M4-78 was very unfinished, they decided not to "restore" it, as that would mean filling the blanks that Obsidian never finished planning themselves. Not to worry, though. Dstoney has said he is dedicated to make his M4-78 mod compatible with TSLRP if there are any conflict issues, so you should get to play them both eventually.

haha, HK and Mical.... I can picture it now... Yeah... I can see how that would go down. HK-47: "Query: Is there someone you want killed, master?" Exile: "Will you stop saying that! I don't want you to kill anyone. I want nobody assassinated. I'm a jedi, not a sith!" Disciple: "I'm relieved to hear you say so, even after the Order cast you out. Not that you were alone. Many Jedi defied the Order during the Mandalorian Wars - and it paved the way for the Jedi Civil War.There is no blame - all must accept. But at its core, one must wonder if it was the failure of the Jedi teachings... or the teachers themselves. Many of the Jedi Council trained Exar Kun, Ulic... Revan and Malak. How could they not see the danger they posed? And if they could not......perhaps there was some essential part of their teachings that was flawed." HK-47: "Restatement: Are you sure there aren't any meatbags, you'd like me to kill for you, master?" Exile: "Don't give me any ideas... Besides, tempting me with the dark side is what I brought Kreia with us for."

Actually, I would once more concur with Scorchy...

Lots of people tend to doubt those, especially in Kreia's case. However, those ages are from the primary source himself, Chris Avellone, on this very forum no less. http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?s=...st&p=184142 And he casts doubt only on Kreia's age. However, since there is nothing to disprove her being 50 years of age, I'll believe Avellone and chalk up any indication of her possibly being older as confirmation of Atton's "hard living" comment.

http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/Up...2021/index.html See, even Scorchy sensed Mical's creepiness, he calls him a "sycophant", and he wasn't even a female Exile. For some reason people really hate Mical. I suppose it's because he fills the role of the mandatory Star Wars "preachy little goody-goody two shoes" character in TSL, and he is disliked more than most of those characters because he's so young, gullible and yet spouts jedi principles all over the place even as he stares moony-eyed at the female exile, making him seem highly hipocritical. I don't really dislike him as much as most people seem to, though. He can be annoying, but he's fairly harmless, and though his preaching can be trying, his points are usually quite appropriate, even the come across in a less than fortunate manner, mostly owing to his inexperience. And obviously he serves as a conscience to the exile, which doesn't go over well with most people. Not that I blame them - none of us like being moralized to, and Mical is close to doing that and stating the obvious at times, too, which probably makes him a candidate for someone the player might want to point out when approaching HK-47...

No, I tend to agree more with Scorchy... http://fromearth.net/LetsPlay/KOTOR%202/Up...2025/index.html

Not nearly the most retarded SW superweapon ever, though. That title goes to those World Devastators of Dark Empire comics. Only turning into giant humanoid robots would have made those things sillier than they were already and they were undone by stupid AI despite having crews on board. Come on, what's the point of having a crew on board if they are helpless when some little astromech droid hijacks the system? Well, perhaps that was a case of Palpatine having serious trust issues. Right. Because stupid AI causing trouble for an entire staff never happens in the real world... Odd, because somehow I didn't find that plot development to be too unbelievable.

I doubt that. While Roslin does indeed share some dreams with the known cylons of Galactica (Athena and Six), that has probably more to do with the cylon blood she has in her system after Baltar gave her a transfusion to save her from dying of cancer. Still, there was a clue back in season 3's "A Measure of Salvation", I think. Assuming the Final Five can become sick from the disease that infected the other cylons of that dying basestar, the last cylon cannot be Apollo, Helo, Adama, or Roslin, because they all met with an infected Simon/Number Four and would have been exposed to the disease. We could argue that the Final Five are not subject to the disease, but note that none of the known Final Five - Tyrol, Tigh, Tory or Anders - were ever in the same room as an infected cylon. That looks like a pretty big coincidence to me. Of course, Starback also did not meet with an infected cylon, and if she is a cylon, then it can naturally explain her apparent resurrection. Then again, maybe making Starbuck a cylon is too obvious given how season 3 ended. I have a feeling Ron Moore is aiming to give the identity of the last cylon as much shock value as he can get away with... and then some

I agree the story was worse in the sense of being highly derivative of the original trilogy's plot, that it had a godawful twist (how many games do we have to play as an amnesiac who needs to find out, who he is?), and that it had a pathetic end boss... Well, it was Malak, otherwise known as Mr. Cheesy. Just listen to him laugh once to get a good idea of how he lost his jaw... I don't see that the locations or combat were any worse than TSL, though. Certainly any part of K1 is better than Malachor V in TSL, sadly. Overall I think I like the K1 companions as much as the TSL companions. I like their interaction in TSL better, though the rushed state of the game makes K1 look a lot more polished by comparison. I definitely think the pacing is better in K1, though. Being a more finished product that incluces dramatic pacing, and TSL is told terribly in places, some of which are key to the plot. As much as I like TSL, I too went "WTF?!?" on first finishing it - it's not that plot doesn't hang together. At all. Indeed, it makes perfect sense, but you need to play through the last third of the game a few times to pick up on it all. That's bad dramatic pacing. TSL suffered a great deal in that regard from the rushed deadline.

Weird. I run TSL on Vista Home Premium, and while the program frequently has trouble starting and has crashed during the switch to or from the cutscenes, it otherwise runs without trouble so far, though I'll admit that I've only actually played it until I reached Citadel Station. Mostly it's a question of getting the program to start, which can take a few tries. But it runs, it does so smoothly for me.
