I think Eru's been hitting the sauce.

That's called dejarik. And don't ask me how the hell I know. I just do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's mentioned quite a few times in the EU novels. So it's not surprising you know.

I'm gonna go with the fanboy-ish response since a)I do like the KOTOR games and b)the other games on the list aren't really that interesting to me.

It's because it had pictures.

I don't think I've ever used a stealth attack. Again one of the drawbacks of easy combat. I just have a tendency to charge straight for my opponents without using strategy.

Nothing on the release schedule tickles my fancy. I might eventually pick up 1 or 2 of the games, but other than "hmm...maybe I'll give it a try" there's nothing that has me counting the days until release.

I don't think I tried the swoop racing past a trial run on Telos. Same thing with KOTOR 1, I didn't do a single swoop race after the mandatory one on Taris.

Did you have problems with your disk? Or are you just speaking from secondhand experience?

As for what I'm looking forward to, KOTOR3. "

This thread derailed in a hurry.

Isn't there someone noticeably absent? Someone named....what was it again...Revan?

I just reported you to a moderator.

Yeah, that Paladin guy right? But apart from not being able to use him in the party, it didn't really have a huge affect on the story, did it? I didn't notice. In my example I was thinking more along the lines of the NPC party member who leaves might actually be crucial to a part of the story and their leaving causing the PC some big time problems that will make things harder to accomplish.

Another way romance could be used is to have some kind of romance angle with one the NPC party members, and just another NPC you encounter (ie. wife, lover, best friend). In this case, the NPC party member will come to a crucial point where he/she has to decide whether to stay with you (the PC) or leave the party and save his/her wife/lover/child/etc. from some kind of danger. How this would work is depending on your relationship with that NPC party member was. If you earned enough influence (or whatever constitutes having a strong relationship), then the NPC party member will let the PC decide what to do (and even have a LS dialogue option to let the NPC party member leave). If you have a weak relationship with that NPC party member, then he/she will decide to leave the party and go help his wife/lover/child/etc.

If Lucasarts were smart, they'd have included pazaak card sets in special edition versions of KOTOR I or KOTOR II. Now wouldn't that be fun. I'd take those over a free tshirt.

You're nothing but a Twi'leksexual.

Too bad more people didn't have your attitude. Kudos to you for working around your initial problem and having the balls to admit you may have been too quick to judge. Most of the people who complained on here instead went on tirade after tirade about how crappy Obsidian and TSL is without actually trying to do anything about fixing their situation. "Did you return the disk for a different one?" "Well no, but Obsidian sucks!" "Did you try updating your drivers? Or try installing it again?" "No man, it's Obsidian's fault! I shouldn't have to do all that stuff. The game should work right out of the box!" I snickered at the amount of people that came on here and bitched immediately after release before they actually exercised all available options to them first to see if that would rectify the situation.

I've recently started another play through of TSL using a LS female character. I was tempted to pop in NWN and try a user made mod, but none of the ones listed strike my fancy. It's been too soon since I last played BG, BG2, FO, FO2, and PS:T, so I have to give it more time until I'll be able to get into those games.

He also ends up getting killed by those Red Eclipse Trandoshan guys.

I think that would be a good addition to KOTOR3 (or any further game with romance in it). Make it somehow affect the story. For instance, as a male PC if there were 2 female NPCs vying for your affection, if you choose one and reject the other, then the rejected one maybe leaves the party, or even worse, betrays the party at an opportune time. Or to a lesser degree, if a NPC has some information that could be useful for solving a specific quest, if you fail to romance her properly, she just never reveals that information, making you have to complete a quest the "hard way" Example: female NPC knows the codes to a secret passage way to a control room. If you romance her, she'll give you the codes, you complete the quest to find a way in the base. If you fail to romance her, she won't give you the codes and you'll have to then fight off the guards and find clues on how to make it to the control room the long way.

Ewen McGregor was by far and away the best actor in the prequels.

Stop looking at my breasts!

You're just saying that because you thought Mission was hot.

I think one of the problems with allowing a non-human PC is that you'd pretty much have to scrap any romance options. It's much easier, not to mention makes more sense in the story, for the male and female NPCs to have a romance with a human PC rather than have to write for, for example from KOTOR 1, Bastila having some kind of flirty romance with a Rodian PC male. I know Gluupor was hot and all, but come on now.

I don't know the sales figures for either, however I'd just like to mention one thing before anyone does post them. You can't really compare sales figures for them and use that as "conclusive evidence" that one sold better than the other (especially the XBox version) because they were released at different times. Don't forget that PC sales could have been affected by being released 2 months later since: 1-People who may have purchased it for the PC might have already bought the XBox version and thus saw no point in buying the PC version. 2-The bad ending and the complaints about the game when the XBox version came out could have turned away some potential sales of the PC version. Personally, I think #1 would have the biggest impact on PC sales. Had they been released at the same time, you'd get a more accurate portrayal of which one sold better. As it is, XBox had the advantage of 2 extra early months of sales taking away some (not all) potential PC customers.
