I actually think George Lucas is great at the "inspiration" stage. This is the guy who gave us Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, and American Graffiti. That's a pretty impressive resume. George Lucas fails with dialouge, and the lack of an editorial process.

Well, considering that Carth is the new main characterin KOTOR:2...

"George Lucas in Love" is a cute fan-film. It parodies Shakespeare in Love, and suggests that Star Wars was written to mirror George Lucas's actual life in college. It's pretty funny.

KOTOR had that in the Krayt Dragon, but it was TOO easy to kill it. The first time I ran into a Rancon on Taris, I managed to kill it via combat, even though I was avoiding leveling up. My girlfriend however, had to sneak around it. I laid a bunch of mines down, and used blaster fire to draw the Rancor into the mines. I think that really powerful creatures should be killable via conventional means if you are clever enough to do massive damage, but there should be tricks to get around combat if you're so inclined.

Note to the devs. You can use "George Lucas in Love" for inspiration.

I would love to see something like the Dagobah cave in TSL.

Where's the option for Jar-Jar Binks Great-Great Grandfather?

I'm guessing that Battle Meditation is another "buff" power, albiet a fairly powerful one.

There will be the Pink Ranger lightsaber, there will be the Red Ranger lightsaber, there will be the Yellow Ranger lightsaber, there will be the Blue Ranger lightsaber, there will be the Green Ranger lightsaber, and of course there will be the White Ranger lightsaber. FU said he's a huge fan of the series.

You see, Lucas was clearly demonstrating that Zabrak don't have internal organs. The midichlorians gobbled them all up.

Am I the only one suprised by how many people played LS? I played LS for the LS ending, but I figured most players would go for reckless abandon, and force lightning.

To Opus: First off, I'm not prepubescent. I'm 23. Second off, I'm a female, so I'm not obsessed with Bastila's boobs. Third off, I do know good characterization, and Bastila is it. Unfortunately, you may not understand this, as it requires you have an IQ of higher than a turnip. I think the romance with Bastilla had one decent moment, on the Ebon Hawk. I also agree that the Star Forge scene was a bit contrived. I think the 'pick-up lines' were sad and pathetic, but then again you didn't need them. The bond between Revan and Bastilla was already there. Their romance was almost predetermined.

Like KOTOR:1, the MC is a specific character in a tightly woven, character driven story. Even subraces make it that much more difficult for the devs to tell that story. The new MC is someone specific as well, and if the player gets to determine what planet the character came from, and what race it is, it takes these things out of the dev's hands.

I heard a dev said that you could "filter" your inventory for blasters, melee weapons, armor, upgrade parts, lightsaber crystals, datapads, etc.

if you play classless point-based systems, you won't have a problem with that. force-sensitivity would depend on a stroke of luck (game master rolls when you create your character. if you're force sensitive, you may become a jedi or a force adept, else you may not)- kindda like in galaxies. though i must admit that i do not know of a good system that might reflect what i just wrote. The Old Star Wars RPG system by West End games is a classless point system like you described.

I got the impression that she was the first companion in your party. Where did you hear that she wasn't in the game?

What ego through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Bastilla is the Sun! Rise proud Sun and upstage the main PC Whose back-story is like a soap opera! Iambic pentameter ain't no thing!

Perhaps it's a particle accelerator, at some nuclear plant or something. It's the STAR project in New York. If I weren't so lazy at the moment, I'd look it up. I think it's in Brookhaven, NY. The funny thing is that a Catholic (albiet, Jesuit) university is trying to prove the Big Bang theory correct. Does anyone else find this humorous? Side note, a few years back, Steve left for NY on September 9, 2001. He tried explaing the project (smashing sub-atomic particles together, etc). We told him not to blow up New York. Two days later, 9/11 happened. Jokingly, we still blame Steve for blowing up New York. Steve was stuck in Manhattan on the day of the attacks, and we feared the worst, but luckily he was never hurt, just trapped on the island for 12 hours.

Hey, maybe I have a warped side. I enjoy a little dismemberment from time to time. But I get that fix from Vice City. I don't need that in KOTOR.

I have a lot smart friends, and I've met a lot of smart people. I've only met one person who I would truly call a genius. We call him "Captain Oblivious". He once dated a girl for two months, and didn't realize it. We often make reference to the joke about the ceiling, ya' know, the one above his head? Yet, Steve is a math genius like none I've ever seen. Without ever really studying, he tested out of every undergraduate math class Creighton University offered, during his Freshman year. He casually flipped through books on fuzzy math, absorbing it in no time at all. He tried explaining some of it, but I just don't quite get fuzzy math. He partied every night, has all the time in the world for his friends, and breezed through school. By his sophmore year, he was a teacher aide for physics and math classes, and then some. They had nothing else for him to do, so he was giving lectures, at 20. Grad school consisted of shipping him off to New York to do research smashing sub-atomic particles together in a nuclear reactor, trying to recreate conditions at the time of the big-bang. I'm not sure that's a great idea, but what do I know? Without trying, he had a Masters. He's currently deciding whether to get a doctorate in physics, or start on another path, and get a computer programming degree for fun. I don't think Steve is insane at any level, but he is often so deep in thought on some random project, that he isn't entirely "there".

I never played female. If you play female DS, do you get the option to kill Carth because people are mentioning that they did kill Carth somehow. If a character had the ability to die in the first KOTOR, I don't think they should pop up in the sequel. It would invalidate your choices in the first game, and it looks like the devs are striving against that. If so, I think it's unlikely that Carth will appear.

I tried to redeem Carth's son. I was coming back with proof that the Sith were evil, but I had just visited the Star Map on Korriban and killed some Sith in the process. When I get back to the Academy, I'm attacked by a bunch of Sith, and Carth's son is attacking me before I get the chance to talk to him. I watched as Carth put a blaster bolt in the head of his own son. During the rest of the game, all Carth was stuck on dialogue for the unfinished quest, not acknowledging that he killed his kid. It was pretty sad.

That's all hogwash. Genius comes from talking to badgers. They've got the greatest ideas!
