Queedle, the humble Ithorian swoop racer who rocked the charts when I helped him with his racer. That guy was cool.

my point is this: does the number of possible recruitable npcs exceed the number of "party member slots"? Yes. Or, rather, the total number of NPCs you can get going through a particular path of the game is 10. But there are more than 10 total potential NPCs in the game. You will never reach a situation where you are forced to chose what NPC to get rid of because you've run out of party slots. -Akari So I guess we can count on some situation like this: *The player enters a room. Inside there are two men fighting verbally.* PC: Okay, who's the evil one here? Dude1: He is! *points to dude2* [1. Help dude1] [2. Help dude2] Dudex (the one you helped): Thanks, <charname>. Mind if I tag along? [1. Sure, dudex, welcome to the team!] [2. Nah, the wookie would kill me if he'd have to share the food with yet another dude.] Wow. I should have a career in dialogue writing

I'm playing through kotor1 again now, and my female consular is looking really nice in Cassus Fett's Armor. And even in my armor I can play catch with various Sith. Force wave isn't restriced. That's so cheese. "Ike! Kick the baby!"

I still haven't played the original Deus Ex, but I have played the sequel, still can't figure out why so many people gave it bad reviews, Xplay gave it a 5/5 if I remember correctly, and I find they're usually dead on; plus I played it and it r0x0red. B) Because the first one is better than the second in almost every department, especially in character development and story. Heck, it even won more GOTY-awards than KotOR. Play the first one, you should find it for a mere 8

Deus Ex. Deus Ex? Did you ever listen to the french in that game? Or the japanese? Max payne = good dialogue. or monologue, rather.

It isn't that strange. The aspect of "A beginning of everything" would imply that something or someone started it all. Maybe something similar to a christian diety. Unproven mysteries draw the attention of the superstitious. Good reading tip: "A brief history of time" by Stephen Hawking

Maybe "the Sith lords" banded together to claim Revan's rule, and he/she left (maybe injured) to gather enough strength to destroy Darth Nihilus and the rest. As to the light side, maybe the real Revan personality starts to bubble up to the surface, and he/she is driven mad by the resulting "inner chaos". He leaves, alone, because he doesn't want to lose control while around those he/she cares about the most. Bastila or Carth goes after him/her to give support, and to perhaps give the light side personality something to hold on to.

In a very not-amusing-at-all kind of way...

I hardly believe the Sith would accept someone with cAPS-desease and who's acting like a junkie.

It was cool when Bastila used Force persuasion to get Holdan to remove Dia's bounty.

Blah. That sounds lame. Do all evil plots have to evolve around some great doomsday weapon 2k++? Heck, engineered plagues or reborn antichrist or something works just as well. Besides... If the Jedi knew and kept the star forge for themselves, why did they send you out to destroy it, risking that Revan reclaimed the "starforge copy"? They could just as well create an army for themselves and crush the Sith. And DS Revan might just have gone to search for "the real one".

I kinda agree with Hades. After having played the game through, I want to test other character options, but the Jedi classes are quite like each other. In BG2, it took a really different way of playing Sorc and your average fighter. Add in more stealthy thieves, archers, bards, priests.. Now, when you become a jedi, you're forever condemned to the same 1 feat every three levels (and some more if guardian), same boring force powers, and lightsabers / robes. It would be more fun if you had a choice to refuse training by the jedi council, and the force would start to manifest itself anyway, but to a lesser degree (or possibly, wilder, more dangerous).

"When it's done."

If different Lightsaber hilts go in the game, I want a baseball cap for my protagonist. It's about the same level of stupid funtionality. It was a meaningless feature of Jedi Academy. Different colors I understand. But hilts? You'd see a difference in 3-4 pixels at most. "I cannot roleplay this guy! That lightsaber hilt is too <insert adjective here> :/" Now helmets on the other hand..

I believe that is but a coincidence. As I recall, GLucas hadn't decided anything of the Vader-Luke relationship when the first movie was filmed. I might be mistaken though. It'd be stupid to have such a plot twist so obvious.

Just a comment.. The double bladed saber is the best one from a powergaming point of view. You cannot have mantle of the force on both your sabers. Therefor you cannot max out the damage of both your sabers. With a double bladed saber, you get 1 more attack (as though you used dual sabres), with maxed damage. Only bad thing is the critical range. And you're free to give heart of the guardian to juhani or jolee. (I might be confusing the MotF and HotG, I dunno)

Evil in a person is always measured by others. Most evil people aren't aware that they are thought to be evil by others. The ones doing the evil action think they're doing a good thing, be it because of propaganda or religious belief. Therefor it ought to be a no-brainer that your own definition of evil is irrelevant. Some people will think you are evil just because you eat meat. Others because you are from a specific country.

Back when Darth Maul ignited the second half of his staff saber, that was cool. Since then, we've been fed staff sabers down our throats with different games. There has to be a reason why none other than Maul had it in the movies. Vader, Obiwan, Quigon, Luke and some hundred random jedi and padawan in the end of Ep2. If a staff saber "pwns" an ordinary saber, why doesn't the major characters use them? The only reason to use a staff saber in kotor was to have another running animation than the 2 weapons one. The 2 weapons running anim was really bad. Ah well.

I hope they add dialogue options that mean instant game over. "Put down your weapons and come peacefully." [Oh, okay.] [You'll never take me alive!] - Game Over - reload. That'd add sooooo much to the feel of the game. </sarcasm> As for the attacking anyone.. Not a single time did I feel the need to hack up john doe Selkath man. I mean, if I would be able to attack person X, next time I might want to take person Y out to dinner. Or use the force to wipe Person Zs mind to make him forget he'd already paid me. Attacking people at random isn't roleplaying.

well i just hope its not as long as morrowind... maaaan, that thing was LONG Morrowind was 80% walking, 15% searching for a specifik cave/house and 5% action. *walk to some ashlander village* *learn that you need a pair of exquisite shoes to present to the chief* *walk to nearest harbor/silt strider* *travel around til you find a clothier* *travel back to same harbor/silt strider* *walk to the ashlander village* *learn that you now need to get the chieftain a wife. a wife dressed in exquisite skirt, exquisite shirt and exquisite shoes* *travel back to harbor/silt strider* *travel to clothier* *travel to slave dealer* *learn that you need Telvanni bug musk* *travel around til you find some* Et cetera ad infinitum. Sheesh.. I hated the walking in that game. Tip: use the coc cheat.

It would seem as though the Fetts are inherently good fighters (at least the ones I know of - Cassus, Boba and the somewhat wimpy Jango). Why not have a Bounty hunter named <something> Fett who could join you for the right price? I'd seriously buy the sucker just to steal his mandalorian helmet. I always hoped Canderous had a real piece of Mandalorian armor with matching helmet. Ordo... That's a bad family name. Fett. Canderous Fett. He could have been a Fett, and I wouln't have argued with that. And then maybe when I give him Cassus' armor, he'd go sentimental... "This was my grandpa's finest suit. " What ticked me off in Kotor was the lack of helmets. When I actually got my hands on a mandalorian helmet, some Wookie stole it! Not that I could actually use the helmet for its prime purpose anyway (protection of head).

I read somewhere that if you do not shoot down the fighters, the Ebon hawk would be boarded and you'd have to fight off the boarding party. So I image that the Sith (or whoever it might be intercepting you) would radio you and ask what you wish. "Lower shields and submit to arrest or we will be forced to open fire" [Take your chances at the turret] [submit for now and fight them off when they board the Ebon Hawk] [Force Persuade: You do not want to arrest us. In fact, your favourite Holonet show is on right now, and you misprogrammed your VCR.]

I think Peragus is more like the "Taris" intro in the first game.
