I'd rather they not appear. Didn't feel they added much value.

How about a Hutt Jedi?

What are the odds of a Shadowrun game being made though? I think Microsoft owns the license currently.

They lied in the sense that they said NWN OC would be the equal to the BG series. But then why anyone would beleive them knowing that NWN was not single player oriented for parties is beyond me.

It's like all those people on the BioWare boards wanting that Blackguard woman who annoyed me back in NWN expansions. This is Obsidian's game and I'd rather they focus on their own character. Why didn't they set it a couple hundred years before or after KOTOR so they could have had most opportunity to do their own thing and these sorts of polls wouldn't come up because most players are alive or not born.

Romances are an overrated annoyance. I'd rather see them improve the game in other ways than add pathetic romances with dialogue choices I wouldn't have used anyway. That said multiple choices including same sex would be the way to go. If they are going to do it anyway, don't do it half assed.

Well considering it was only initially supposed to take 4 months to make, the storyline was come up with in 1 day and the devs didn't really want to work on it, are you that surprised the IWD2 was somewhat underwhelmed? That said I still found Chapter 1 great fun.

KOTOR was BioWare's story. Obsidian, especially since they are setting the game 5 years later, should just stay away from the original game's storyline and only bring it up loosely. I'd rather Obsidian focus on their own storyline. So no Bastila would be preferable. She was good but not exceptional to the story anyway. I became annoyed with her a bit in KOTOR1.

On seeing something like this you need to keep in mind that Moore is also pushing his own agenda so not everything he would say is 100% true either. Bush did jump the gun though. It surprises me when some ignorant Americans bring up the World Trade Towers as the reason for the US going into Iraq. What part did Hussein and Iraq have in that? Pretty much none. It was that terrorist in Afghanistan and to an extent the government of Afghanistan who was harboring him who were responsible for that. I recall they did give Afghanistan a chance to hand him over first as well.

Haven't seen it myself but doesn't sound like Moore is saying anything new. Of course they lied about WMDs in Iraq about the WAR. There wasn't any definitive proof of that before the war began and there still isn't.

I wonder how many people know that there is a Zabrak on the Jedi council. They showed him in Episode 1 briefly. Darth Maul isn't the only known one.

Sure. Why not. But there should be a limit to how far we should go with choices made by our and their ancestors in which we give them special rights not enjoyed by other residents of the United States.

I think they have enough as it is. They are more than welcome to join the rest of society in the United States. And they do receive special rights. Casinos on Indian Reservations for instance. Casinos must bring in some pretty good money.

What forums? They died weeks if not a couple months ago.

No I'm quite alive thank you. I can't wait for FOOL that'll probably top Brotherhood of Steel what with all the cool items and stuff that's bound to be in it. But Bioware will always be better than Black Isle, you guys just won't admit it. First of all the odds of FOOL (and by the way I love the acronym choice and feel it definately reflects Caen and current Interplay properly) are very slim. BioWare never was better than Black Isle. On the other hand, Black Isle suffered gravely because of the financial difficulties/poor management of its parent company Interplay. Something BioWare never had to worry about being independent.

True dat! The only good Fallout game was Brotherhood of Steel, and that wasn't even made by them, just based on their universe. Which one?

Since when do we all know that the Baldur's Gate games were better than Planescape Torment and the Fallouts? I was never under that delusion. Anyway, a small developer needs a publisher to provide money, sales, marketing, audio voice overs/music, QA, and overall support. Black Isle provided that to BioWare. They never would have got off the ground or past that Shattered Steel game they did without Black Isle and Interplay's support.

I like the fact that Zabrak is tops. We should see them in KOTOR2. In fact, give them Sith tattoos at well.

At the moment it looks that way. On the other hand keep in mind that at one time Thief 3 looked like it wouldn't come out ever but then Ion Storm picked up the license and now Thief 3 is out. It may come out. It's a maybe, not a definite yes or no but at the moment it's definately more on the no side than the yes side obviously.

Wasn't the first book Tales of the Jedi entitled Knights of the Old Republic? The second one was titled Dark Lords of the Sith which is why I was disappointed that KOTOR2 was called Sith Lords.

How could they be a BioWare wannabe when they were BioWare's publisher? BioWare wouldn't be where they are today without Black Isle. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Throne of Bhaal were published by Black Isle and Neverwinter Nights would have been as well if not for Interplay's management. And don't forget here that they did Fallout 2 and comprised most of the staff that worked on Fallout 1. You are really playing down Black Isle's accomplishments with statements like these.

Fallout 3 from Interplay will never come out.

Making an online version of Fallout is just a ridiculous notion. How would they ever afford to maintain the servers and maintaining the software? Down with Caen :angry:

But I want the original Star Wars where Han Solo shoots first.

Any chance of using Force Jump in a more openended manner and not just in combat? It would even be nice to use it in combination with other force powers. For instance, in Jedi Knight 2 a common trick I would use is to jump above the enemy and use Force Pull to pull them up with me. When they land they take lots of damage, if not die.
