No doubt. I agree with you, as I stated Vader's much better. But my main point was that people were disappointed because Malak wasn't an evil mastermind type character, but rather a big thug or bully. So i was just saying that that's because he wasn't meant to be a Palpatine/Emperor type character, who had charisma and intelligence oozing. He was more of an "enforcer" type, such as Vader or Maul was.

Does anyone (developer/regular forum poster) know whether it's been stated whether the system requirements will be similar or "greater" than KOTOR1? Am I going to have to dish out $ to upgrade my computer, or will similar system requirements be kept, such as the whole 256 MB RAM (512 MB Recommended), PIII, etc.

I remember Anakin as the old guy who says "tell your sister you were right".

I think the thing to remember with Malak is he was a "Vader-like" character, thus he wasn't so much a evil mastermind like a Palpatine would be. He was brute force, such as Vader was. Vader wasn't a tactical genius. In fact, a few of his tactical decisions backfired. Much is the same with Malak. He's not a strategic genius, nor is there any indication he's overly intelligent (hence why Revan was his master due to Revan's brilliance in combat strategy). His role was to be the big, bad, tough guy you had to defeat with might, not with intelligence or cunning. I think people are underating Malak as a villain purely because they try to compare him to guys like Palpatine or Thrawn, when in fact Malak was more like a Darth Maul or Darth Vader type villain. And in that respect, I thought he was a decent villain. note: I STILL think Darth Vader is the ultimate "tough guy" villain, and no one, not Malak or Maul, comes close to him in that regard

Maybe I don't know my sales and advertising lingo too well, but isn't February still considered "winter"? Considering the crappy weather we get where I'm from, I'd definitely refer to it as winter.

The cgi Jabba was horrible. When I heard Lucas was going to add him using cgi, at first I thought it would be cool. But then I saw the final product..

Ok, get me an interview with your boss and I'll impress the pants off them that they'll fire you on the spot.

I hardly consider the words of a SINGLE officer (who has a mind of his own and clearly has issues) as an indicator that the entire Sith/Galactic Empire "hate aliens." I can't speak for Sith, but it's a known fact (not sure from EU, or movies) that the Emperor hated aliens. If that was a trait common to all Dark Lords of the Sith, then I can see why there aren't any sith aliens.

Are they seriously replacing the old guy who played Anakin in RotJ with Hayden Christensen in that final scene in the DVDs? Or was that a joke that I didn't get?

That would be awesome if you could take control of your apprentice (if that's what happens) and lead a sub-group on a side mission.

What is "GI"?

Congratulations! You're up to 1195 useless posts now! Seriously, just shut up already. You've stated 1195 times that you dislike what you see about KOTOR2 and that you dislike the Jedi character. If you'd like, I'll do a google search and find you a message board for a game that doesn't have Jedi in it. Yes, but will it have the Obsidian crew making it? If I say yes, will you leave?

you didn't know you could turn those numbers off? It was on the same option page to turn off the text and all the other things like the help tips.

Korriban would have been even better if it was larger. For instance, the non-Sith spaceport portion should have been about the size of Anchorhead on Tatooine. A Taris-sized world would have been nice for either Korriban, or the Unknown World.

Oh God please no. I disliked the swoop racing as it was. More options/additions means more swoop racing.

I actually really like this idea. It'd give the game a lot of replayability also if, depending on what side you are (LS/DS), different characters are paired up to break off and do their own thing.

The Computer Gaming World article said something to the effect of working on the game and doing most of the hard coding through June, then playtesting and fixing bugs/problems for 6 months.

anyone else at a loss for what he/she was trying to say?

To be honest, I'd rather they had the later release date, just to make sure everything is in working order, rather than perhaps rushing to meet a december release date. Unless, of course, they're prompt with patches to fix any omissions, in which case the earlier the better

I don't understand how "whining" by posters on an Obsidian message board is delaying the release of something you guys are working on. You don't HAVE to be on here while working on this mod. The problem is you guys are promising SO much, and have shown so little. And another problem is you are each saying different things about how far along you are. You want to be appreciated for, what all we know, amounts to nothing? That's not how it works. What kind of backlash do you think Obsidian would get if they came on here every day saying "damn you people, respect our work. praise us. stop telling us that such and such feature will suck", even though the game isn't ready yet?

that developer's name isn't mgnails is it?

Obviously because of his people skills

That's always been my take on it. A Dark Jedi is a former Jedi who has fallen to the darkside. A Sith Apprentice is a Force sensitive being who has been trained in the Sith teachings for the vast majority of their Force training.

I know it's probably already been mentioned, but I hope each character from the first game is atleast mentioned. I'd like to atleast know what happened to them, rather than it being left up in the air. My personal preference would be for ALL of them to survive, but those not important to the new storyline, just end up on some world trying to escape the war and live out their lives in peace (sappy ending, i know).
