GhostofAnakin

It's pretty sad when Heyden Christiansen and Natalie Portman's acting makes Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher's acting seem good. "

What I don't understand is how George Lucas turned Natalie Portman from a great actress into an actress whose lines I cringe at whenever she speaks her lines in the first two movies.

Until the issues you brought up are actually explained by Lucasfilms, then I still say that the database and canon and continuity is a bit of a haphazzard joke. So it's rather difficult to say whether stuff to do with KOTOR is officially a part of canon.

Where's the option for a third gunman?

I would personally hate that. I like the ability to pause the action to set up what I want my PC and my party to do. But that's just me.

That's worth the $65 right there.

There's no real ending? That's disappointing. <_<

That can be explained depending on how literal you take what Obi-Wan says to Luke on Dagobah. When Qui-Gon died, Obi-Wan did take on Anakin as his padawan/apprentice. Also, since Yoda usually tutored the younglings, and was seen as "the" Jedi Master, it's not a stretch to take what Obi-Wan said about Yoda being his master could be seen as true.

Hey numbers man. Your avatar has changed since I last posted.

I'm going to have to make sure my roommate picks up this game when it's released. It's pretty much the only game I'm looking forward to that's on the near horizon. Sorry about getting back on topic and interupting Volourn and Shadowpaladin's debate.

George Lucas has inundated the Star Wars universe with kiddy stuff like Ewoks and Gungans, so LEGO characters was the next logical step.

I guess this is one of those "trade secrets" that can't be let out to the public. :ph34r:

What other "settings" are there? I'm asking out of curiosity rather than out of sarcasm, since my knowledge of this stuff goes only so far as to games like NWN, BG, KOTOR, FO and now PS:T.

That seems to be the same misconception that Troika/Activision is under since they seem to want to pawn off their own shortcomings on "lower than recommended specs". From the people posting on here (and on planetvampire, as I've followed the complaints on there quite thoroughly) the people complaining have equal or better specs needed than the recommended asks for. I expect the game to barely function if my specs are below the required specs. I expect slowdowns if my specs barely meet the required specs. I do NOT expect terrible gameplay and multitude of glitches when I meet the RECOMMENDED settings. I realize that as a rule, people shoudn't necessarily use those "required" and "recommended" as the be-all and end-all of determining whether they can play the game or not. But this game is the ONLY one I've played where those "recommended" stats aren't even CLOSE to what you need in order to play this game at a relatively decent performance. That's unforgiveable. I don't care whether it was Troika or Activision's doing. Either way, they lied on the box and their response to anyone who complains about it is "buying more RAM will fix the problem". That's just pathetic. <_<

Congrats! Now all I need to find is a woman who enjoys playing video games. Who am I kidding. I just need to find a woman with a pulse. :">

Actually, I'm looking at the box right now and I clearly see the RECOMMENDED RAM of 512 MB. I meet that requirement and the game still chugs along at slow speeds. I'd hate to see how the game works on someone's system who meets the REQUIRED RAM of 384 MB. Either Troika produced a crappy performance game or they should have put the RECOMMENDED RAM at 1 GB or higher.

When it's released for PC. I've been waiting for this game too long to decide not to buy it now, just because of some problems with the XBox version.

We'd all say "welcome to last month".

Having enough intelligence to be able to build simple contraptions and having enough intelligence or sentience to have full command of the Force is two different things. A predator in the wild knows how to set traps for its prey, but that doesn't mean that if it broke in to my house it would be intelligent enough to turn on my computer and send email. Ewoks have primitive intelligence that allows them simple thought. My guess (btw, this is just my opinion, since my word is by no means 'canon') is you need much more than that to control the Force. As for wookiees, they're supposed to be intelligent beings. Don't forget they're great with mechanical devices and their technological abilities are quite high. Yes, they live in the trees, but unlike ewoks and lesser "creatures", wookiees are considered quite intelligent and thus why it's not unfounded to have a Force strong wookiee.

As far as I know, there has never been an ewok Jedi in the Star Wars canon universe. I believe they're too low in the intelligence department to be able to control the Force, even if they had actually shown potential in it.

There have been worse revelations on these boards Hades.... i.e. Volourn being a robot. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hades seems disappointed to be in the presence of females. "

Ahh the memories. "

Yeah, because my typo made more sense in the context of the rest of the post, huh.

That was a typo. I meant "your post consisted of..."

Assumptions are all I can go on since your post consistent of calling people cry babies who complained about legitimate issues. You didn't exactly put forth a strong argument.
