I doubt I'll get an answer, but I have to ask. I know you're likely doing a new IP next. However, do you think you have another KOTOR story in you after TSL? Is there groundwork laid for another sequel? Do you anticipate KOTOR 3 going to yet another developer to accomdate another quick release while Obsidian works on their next project? And thanks for your other answers.

Out-standing!

Some people in the Star Wars universe have warned against becoming reliant on the Force. Perhaps the MC hasn't had a reason to use the Force in a while, and thusly hasn't. It's good enough for me.

Bioware gave you the tools and let you make your own game. I get that. However, have you asked their development team about certain takes or what they were trying to accomplish to establish continuity with the first game?

I think Shaq is as close to an unstopable force as there is in the NBA. Hack-a-Shaq has failed. He physically dominates players. However, why haven't people simply tried to frustrate him? I think the big secret to solving the Shaq puzzle is to draw fouls from Shaq rather than foul him. Get him pissed off and on the bench.

ABC and ESPN are sister-companies. Yet ESPN does a far superior job of covering games. What is ABC's problem?

Let's all collectively cross-our-fingers.

Maria? Are we to infer that you're blonde?

Ships have lights on them to make it easier to blast them out of the not-sky.

Bioware was setting Obsidian up for one of MCA's big plot reveal. The entire universe during this time period consists of clones. We're about to see the REAL clone wars.

The interview was fairly interesting. It confirmed a lot of things we assumed or had half-mentioned.

The preview says ending "trees" which I take to mean they can branch off. Might there be more than two endings? That in and of itself would be an improvement. However Akari's comments have me doubting the validity of this preview. The media have spouted BS about this game before and this preview has loads of new info not seen elsewhere. Who is the source?

I'm not crazy. I'm big boned.

Yep. I'm considering downloading and trying Galaxies now that they're doing a free trial. I played the beta and thought the game was alright. It didn't meet my expectations, but it wasn't horrible either.

8 people voted in favor of this? ::Sigh::

If the game mechanics are to support LS or DS that's fine. However, can we have some options? Would you like to see my wares today? - Yes. I've come to shop. - That depends. Are you running any specials? - I can't believe you try to pawn this junk off. Do you take me for an idiot with poor taste? - Certainly. You still offer a sizeable discount to Sith who are kind enough not to eviscerate you on the spot, correct? - I can be easily persuaded to examine your wares. However, that isn't the reason I stopped by. - Hanes. Hanes 32. Judge Wapner is on at 4:30

MCA interview I think this strongly hints at an epilogue. We'll see.

If Bastilla truly believed that Revan was needed to combat Malak, then why attempt to sacrafice herself to save Revan from Malak? She also knows she had a duty to the Republic to preserve and utilize her Battle Meditation against the Sith fleet. Her staying behind didn't make sense. It was emotional, flighty and stupid. Your PC stood around and did nothing because you had no choice. I hope KOTOR:TSL doesn't follow similiar lines.

Dialogue in KOTOR somewhat suggested this was the case. Bastilla constantly warned you of the lure of the darkside, one she wasn't sure she could resist. She took chances misleading and lying to Revan in hopes of using Revan's power for good. If you needed to stay good to beat the game, then yes, offer seduction away from said path in favor of power. However, I think in a game where both paths have plausible endings, there is an issue of game balance. If the dark side was considerably more powerful, there needs to be a drawback. Perhaps you weed out, and turn on your companions. Perhaps skills atrophy as you rely solely on the grand power of the Force.

I too would like to see more sidequests. As far as sidequests unlocking certain feats/powers, I think this is a good idea. I'm picturing learning magic in P:T. I am also relieved to hear FU say that they wouldn't just add sidequests to add sidequests. Perhaps this means we won't see a lot of silly "fetch" quests, but rather see a series of cleverly woven together sidequests that enhance the main story.

I don't want to picture JE after many-beers in a room with other naked developers.

We need a thread of topical ointment to balance it out.

As long as he isn't French Canadian. ::ducks::

That would be Ultima V: Lazarus. It looks great. ultima.rpgdot.com has a breakdown on all the Ultima games, remakes, etc. Has anyone looked at Tabula Rasa? I think it is truly the only third generation MMO in the works. In really redefines the genre. It takes out all the mistakes of previous MMO's and focuses on having fun rather than leveling up constantly.

The new Windows API for Longhorn really encourages the use of C# and the .NET architecture. In fact, I think the API only supports C#, .NET and VB. So it may be wise to get a head-start and learn C#.
