It was shown to test audiences. I happened to see that version. The reaction was not favorable, which is why they changed the ending. I have no problem with that. I DO have a problem with them denying that it ever existed in the first place. But, don't take my word for it. If you really want to know, see if you can track down a Laserdisk version of Return of the Jedi - and maybe a Laserdisk player. This is something I have been doing myself. If I do manage to, I will share the video. I really have mixed feelings about the new and improved versions of episodes IV - VI, having seen them all in the theater when they came out. All in all they look much better graphically (especially the tie-fighter scene in A New Hope), but some things that were added and removed just irk me a bit. Also, I did not say "all beings" I said all force sensitive beings. Big difference there. I must also say that it would have been weird to see Hanharr as a Jedi. I think being able to make Mira, Disciple, Bao-Dur, Atton and Handmaiden was more than enough Jedi-making for the game. For KotOR III, I think continuing the Mandalorian plot would be very cool. Hard to pick planets for me. I have been playing both KotOR I and II again within the last month, trying to figure out what would make the most sense as far as that goes. I think tying in all the previous storylines - or perhaps elaborating on the ones that didn't go too far - would be great.

Yeah, and now Lucas also denies that the Millenium Falcon blew up in one of the versions of Return (Revenge) of the Jedi, which is complete and utter BS. It is now officially an "urban myth" even though the version I saw in the theater in 1983 showed the Falcon blowing up at the end, AND it is also available as an alternate ending on the laser disk. Not to mention it is a bit of trivia from a SW comic book back then as well. All force sensitive beings are capable of being a jedi, period. I don't believe half of the stuff Lucas says anymore...sadly enough. I will, however, always stay true to the original Star Wars. Greedo did NOT shoot first O.o!!! ETA: I am attributing it to him perhaps going senile. The George Lucas I know and love bucks the system.

You can use the whereami armband to open all doors, as well as the force fields on M4-78. It is towards the bottom of the page here: http://www.starwarsknights.com/tools.php

The hoods are available at the creator's site here: http://www.ninivekha.net/Kha_Telos.html

Actually, you can completely ignore Traya in the second round with her, and just destroy the three lightsabers. That is the final test. After that she stops attacking you and you can have the last conversation with her before you choose how to end her. The easiest way to do that is by running around in the outer circle (Knight Speed is good for this - but not necessary) and the lightsabers split up so you can just take on one at a time.

If you have Atton with you on GO-TO's ship, the Twin Suns will say "your friend should have killed us the first time" - or something to that effect. In otherwords, he left them barely alive. T3 going to the warehouse to get a blank transponder card is a quest. You have a force bond with Kreia as master/apprentice, and not with anyone else - that is why. That is part of the quest - you run into HK-50s at the various planets because you are being hunted by them. It is a long quest. They left a lot of stuff in, which is fortunate, really. It has made the restoration project possible....or at least much easier. If you don't like doing all the long quests, use cheat codes to get the items you want - but it will probably mess up your game. Getting the HK parts won't, but the transpoder card probably would.

Actually, if you installed the 1.0b patch it tends to cause more crashing. This I found out a long time ago. I completely uninstalled the game and then never patched it, and had much fewer problems. I could actually crank the graphics up after switching to nVidia (I have a 5500FX 256mb card, and I only run at 1.83 GHz - AMD). The patch caused file corruption, so I couldn't use any of my save files. Anyway, I would try the nVidia without the patch and see how you do. Also, enabling EAX caused me major problems, not just audio.

Not that I have seen, and their phone support sends you to Lucas Arts, who can give you no information because their devs "keep us out of the loop on purpose because we talk too much" (quoting the support tech, whom I called today) I started asking about this again yesterday after 4 months of silence at the LA Forums, and got the same old answer - but at least I got an answer there this time - "I will forward the information" I think because so many people gave up they don't pay much attention anymore. What I don't think they realize, is that if they actually put out the patch(es) people would be happy again. In the meantime, I have vowed to only buy used Lucas anything...no more $ out of my pocket until this product is fixed. I let them know that if they won't do it themselves, they should at least toss the modders (TSLRP) some stuff to work with since they are making up for what LA and Obsidian left out and left bugged.

I think the game works better without the patch. Since all my save games became corrupt files after installing it (I did manage to get a few hours in before file corruption prevented me from continuing), I uninstalled everything - save games and all - reinstalled the game, and did not d/l the patch. Runs fine now

The only bug I have encountered with the Jekk Jekk Tarr is half the time when Mira walks in she is wearing a space suit, and half the time she isn't.

Thanks, I got the influence mod a few days ago, and it just wasn't fun for me. After beating the game so many times though (I think I am on my 18th character), I did decide to play around with a lot of other mods. I was really just hoping there was a way to fix that besides the influence mod because half the fun for me is trying to gain max influence with all party members, and take them all ls or all ds. I have done it successfully a couple of times so far - with the exception of the Bao-Dur glitch.

here are a couple pics I thought I would add to show the major difference. The first is leaving EH. Bao-Dur is maxed out DS, as you can tell. His ds/ls bar was at exactly the same place as mine. I leave the EH and the result is the second image.

I know this has been brought up many times, and not to 'flog a dead horse' but it is really annoying, and the issue has yet to be resolved. The patch obviously did not fix it, and I have searched for fixes for it without any luck. I have maxed out my influence with him many times, and that when a new area loads (this is where the glitch seems to occur) the influence goes away. example: I am maxed out with darkside points, have my bonus and everything. I gain my last influence point with him and he is then at exactly the same level I am as far as DS points. I enter the Ebon Hawk, go into a building...any place that has to load...and he is only at 25% or so DS. What is the fun of gaining influence with him if it simply vanishes for no apparent reason? There must be a way to fix this issue, and if someone knows how, please share!

erm...can you say "The Omen?" heheheeeeh

This only happens if you choose "alright, we mean you no harm" as your answer when you get inside. If you choose something else and then agree to put down your weapons, it will not happen. Edit: granted, this sucks, but it is avoidable.

Well, that didn't help at all. In fact I spent the rest of the 19th and all day yesterday dealing with major crashing - and not just during the game. I tried derfagmenting because all my kotor files were trashed. Apparently they were corrupt enough that when defrag got to those save files it locked up my computer - twice. I had to shut it off manually both times, which would happen farily often while playing. So, I decided to uninstall the game. 2 check disks, 4 blue screens and over 200 errors later it started running a little better, and now it is fine. No viruses or trojans caused this. I think it was the combination of the patch and cheats. I had no problems with each individually. I reinstalled the game, only this time, I did not download the patch, and it seems to work fine....comparatively speaking. I think I am going to leave the patch out of the game. All the 'fixes' are for problems I have never had anyway. I am keeping DMA mode, of course.

Since we have a similar setup, I decided to do some digging around in device manager and found that my primary IDE channel was running in PIO mode instead of DMA...well, I uninstalled the primary IDE chan. and rebooted and now I am running at ultra DMA mode 6. Somehow I think that will make a huge difference. PIO is so slow!! Just to answer your questions....I have a 60 gig HD with 47 gigs free. I run nothing in the background when I am playing. AMD Sempron 2600+, 512gb 333ddr, sb live! 5.1, GeForce FX5500 256mb 8x, MSI kt4a-v with the latest drivers. xp pro sp2

I put it in a spoiler tag for those who don't want to see

Visas/HK , Handmaiden/HK , Mira/Goto on Korriban (Ha!! It is too funny) Kreia/Atton in Refugee Sector... I could get way too detailed here. I have specific parties for each place depending on if I am LS/DS M/F If you haven't taken Mira and Goto to Korriban, try it.

OK in that case, it's a game bug. I probably did not encounter it with the Nvidia because I failed to complete fixing the airspeeder...got invited by the Exchange too soon for that game. As for the saving bit, sorry but I don't notice any lag while doing that on both Nvidia and ATI. Could be a hard disk thingy as I'm running on SATA drives. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am using ATA as well........it hard to explain. It is like the game "ticks" or something. It only lasts for about a minute or so. I am just really impatient

There is no map, so it is easy to get lost there...plus, it is a big place. It is extremely cool! I am working on a map for it and will post it when I am done. http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=330133 Thanks!! That is the link to the post. You must get the armband to get through the droid planet because there are doors/forcefields that you cannot open. Also, there are places you get stuck, so read further down the thread so you have the correct places to warp to. Despite all the hassle, it is very cool there and you get cool stuff as well as gain a lot of xp. I highly recommend you are at least lvl 18 before you go there. The armband will open any door that won't normally open, as long as it is on the map. DO NOT try to go to the military base sublevel because all you get is a black screen and no way out. Have fun!

I actually thought the influence thing with Bao-Dur was a feature. Yeah, it was irritating getting light mastery with Bao-Dur and then losing it after a while for no apparent reason. The lag at the airspeeder only occurs after you destroy Goto's yacht. I'm not sure if you still remember but did you experience it with the ATI or Nvidia or both? I got the impression that it only happened with the ATI and with the Nvidia, there was no airspeeder at the docks after destroying Goto's yacht. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I experienced it with the GeForce/nVidia before and after Goto's yacht...not with the ATI Radeon. ....of course, I did crank my graphics up a bit. also, I forgot. The biggest annoyance for me (more than Bao-Dur) is the choppy laggy crap right after saving. When I save, I get up and go do something for a few minutes before I start playing again.

I have played this game over 15 times, and I am still playing. I posted in another thread all the good thing about this game - and there are tons. I know there have been a lot of complaints about it, and a lot of them just tick me off because they are so across the board (i.e.: inclomplete, blah blah blah). My intent is not to complain. I feel bad because after finally giving in to some of the cheats to go other places, open doors, etc....I see how much work was put into the places we cannot see or go to in the official release. When I open a previously inacessable room and see it as a complete room (as on Nar Shadda by Vogga's warehouse), it is obvious that a lot of work was put into it. When I went to the droid planet for the first time today I was really impressed at what was done there...only I couldn't talk to anyone, and I couldn't use the computers. When I hear the sound files that were not included, I wonder what it would have been like to play those scenes. It is such a shame that all the talent and hard work that went into these places and storylines was for nothing. Maybe not completely nothing, because obviously those of us who have chosen to dig these things out so we could experience them appreciate them a lot, whether or not it is expresed. I guess what I am trying to say is thanks for all the hard work you put into this game. It is truly a work of art. Hopefully you will be able to create a content patch, or if nothing else support those who are for no other reason than they love this game and want to see it at its full potential.

I definitely think the influence issue - mainly Bao-Dur, as you said - is a big one. It is really annoying to gain influence with him and then 30 seconds later it is back to where it was before. Lagging in certain areas...Dantooine was bad in both Kotor1 and2...I have not had much of a problem since I switched from an ATI 9200 to a GeForce 5500. I lag badly every time I walk by the airspeeder at the docks in Nar Shadda.

The droid planet is cool...it is easy to get lost in though, and I got stuck in one spot (going from 802-803 I think) Too bad you can't use the computers - or is that just me? Thanks for posting this!
