Has anyone here played Obiwan multiplayer or Enter the Matrix multiplayer? Games that have multiplayer as an after-thought suck. Either the game should be developed with multiplayer focus or not. Great single player games do not necessarily make great multiplayer games and vice versa.

Dark side mechanical replacements
EnderAndrew replied to mastromanos's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
In KOTOR:3 "Bill and Ted's Excellent Jedi Adventure", you'll go back in time and rip off Malak's jaw. Better yet, you'll stand around and make the plan to go back in time and rip off Malak's jaw and it will have suddenly happened. -
Simultaneous XBox and PC Development?
EnderAndrew replied to Tz-Auber's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
It's easier to take a PC game and put it on the XBox (which has Direct X support hardwired) than it is to port it over to Linux and Mac OS X. -
In the old Star Wars RPG put out by West End games, there weren't any magical cure powers. In the novels and what not, I don't see any magical healing Force powers. You could affect someone's mind and effectively dim their pain, but you didn't perform sugery with the Force. Star Wars has always relied on surgery droids and bacta tanks. When Jedi can be shot twenty times and cast "Cure/Heal" then difficulty is hard to develop.

39 Helens Agree that this is a bad idea (every time it is brought up).

I'm firing all the trolls on this forum. You're not even good at being trolls. Perhaps I can dreg up some better ones.

Couldn't agree more. Truly epic... Damn. I remember my arguement about BG a few weeks back where someone claimed that no one called BG epic. I was GREATLY disappointed with BG. I digress. I pulled up the saved games on my XBox Hard Drive. Many a person has beaten KOTOR at my house. The average length of game play seemed to be 28-30 hours by the time someone got to the Star Forge and their final save game.

I've heard the arguement before. I think the "Star Wars logic" is that it is impossible to summon Force Lightening without calling upon the internal anger that feeds the Dark Side. Most games only allow LS Jedi to use LS powers, and vice versa. KOTOR struck a good balance by allowing you to use cross-powers at a much higher cost. Thusly, a LS jedi could use Force Lightening to protect someone, but it would be difficult for them to use the power.

That game is pretty. I'll give it that. But Morrowind gives me a huge pretty 3D world to explore. I'm looking for a good RPG and I'm not seeing it.

Someone could take the Fallout 2 tools and try to do a total conversion allowing you to play a turn-based, isometric Star Wars RPG with the SPECIAL rules-set no less.

I think a strategy/simulation/rpg hybrid would be interesting.

Atari owns the DnD license. And Obsidian needs to establish their own identity. Plus, Baldur's Gate doesn't even come close to cracking my top 10 of great RPGs.

TSL interview at TheForce.net
EnderAndrew replied to Fardragon's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Slavisek worked on the old West End Star Wars RPG before moving over to Wizards of the Coast. I'm sure they're great for D20 products, but they're still D20. My old West End books still work just fine. In fact, the system is so simple, I don't need books. -
Anyone here seen the Crying Game? That's what the morph is hinting at.

After the Ultima 9 disappointment, I don't get too pumped/stoked about forthcoming games. I keep myself busy with a heavy load of games already in my hands and get to games as they are released. I am looking forward to KOTOR:2, but I don't count the days.

A darker story doesn't necessarily mean more mass destruction. Sometimes it's the more personal tragedies that make the mood more somber or 'dark'. In saying that, keep in mind that I actually don't know a whole lot of the story of the game. Most of it is in the designers' heads more than in docs, and I don't have a lot of time to read story docs to begin with. Too busy coding. But I know how Avellone writes, and I do know a few details or ideas that are going to happen. -Akari This is really good to hear. Alot of the Star Wars authors were always looking for the next big Galactic Badness

Ranged weapons more powerful - why?
EnderAndrew replied to Mr. Teatime's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I agree that sabers should be deadly. I don't think blasters were horribly underpowered. I think the real problem is that non-Jedi lacked other support skills that made them worthwhile. You can walk into mines and quickly run away. You could bash open locks. And who needed to repair support droids when you had a powerful party of Jedi who could Force Wave and Heal? -
You obviously haven't played "Frac", a 3D version of Tetris.

I have tried to see it through their eyes. Did you know that Palestine asks the US for relief money every year? We usually give them something like 400 or 500 million dollars. We ask that the money be spent on medicine, food, etc. Palestine refuses to show us how they're spending our dollars, and some have suggested that money is being spent on terrorism. The nation of Palestine was a poor country filled with desert. When it became a shared land, the Isreali people came in and cultivated the land. They built structures, developed the Gaza strip, and irrigated the land. Then they gave some of the reconstructed land to the Palestine people who were poor. The UN said to share. Now, if Palestine saw this as an invasion, they could appeal the decision by the UN. They could ask for military support. The government knows that they don't have much of an arguement. The government chooses instead to side with terrorism and harbor genocidal desires. Many Palestinians have been quoted as wanting to see all Americans and Isrealis dead. They don't want their land, they want blood. That's a huge difference. In peace talks, people have presented compromises. Isreali gives up land, and the Palestinians are supposed to curb terrorism. Well, one side keeps complying, and the other hasn't. Do you understand the spirit of compromise? How can I have sympathy for a nation that cries for the murder of civilians and genocide? I can't. I'm shocked that you can so easily look over such things. The end does not justify the means.

Intention may be more important that results. If I pull out a gun and shoot at you, but miss your head by centimeters, you will likely be glad to still be alive. You could argue that results of you not dying are more important than the fact I shot at you in the first place. From a legal standpoint, the intention to shoot you is more important that whether I hit you or not. I think it's ignorant to look at results and discount motivations. Actions can be quite deceiving. Intentions reveal truthful motivations.
