I hezitate between Bastila and Mara Jade, and choose Mara, just because she seems more realistic.

Yep, guys, I am familiar with the sigil stones and soletraps in order to recharge your items. (Thanks for the help, but I don't need it, I am quite experienced player ) I have my blade enchanted with the Kvatch stone and it is OK, but why a fighter should do this? Just why?? I want to be a fighter, not half fighter/half mage. The game is unplayable for pure fighter. This is what I mean as bad design.

That is why I claim that there is something very wrong in the core design. I want to play pure fighter, and now Shadowstrider tells me that I can't - I have to enchant and recharge weapons. So, as a fighter, I have to go through all Mages guilds first in order to get access to Arcane Univ and then "start" playing the game? Is this the main idea?? Oh, and don't forget that as a fighter I have to cast spells during fight in order to win (because otherwise my 17 level fighter with 90 strength gets down by two road bandits just in 5 seconds). If this is good game design, then I am a tram.

Oblivion had had the potential to be the greatest game ever created, but unfortunately that awful scaling kills all the fun. I don't think it is fun to kill a goblin with 2-3 weak fireballs when I am at level 1, and to be unable to kill the same goblin type with 8d blade when I am level 10. It is just frustrating. It is not fun that a fighter with strength = 90, endurance = 90, blade = 60, block = 60, heavyArmour = 80 and blade with damage 13, is not able to kill a single frost atronache. It is not fun that 80% of players time is wating, waiting and waiting for magica to restore in order to restore health. After each single fight. Something is very wrong with this game, I am happy I didn't pay for it but took it from a friend, who, BTW is very disappointed and not able to play it just because of the same problems. Morrowind was much more fun to play. Gothic 2 style of scaling/balancing is also almost perfect, hope it is the same in Gothic 3.

Each language has its pros and cons. If you do database access, GUI, web services, C#.NET is fine. But if you need raw speed performance, C++ is the only choise.

Does pre-production mean searching for publisher??? If so, new project will not be announced until contract with publisher is signed.

As I know, names are ordered by last time of page retrieval - that is why the self-user is always first.

I think Revan and Malak have commanded the space battle, while the Exile was on the surface commanding the ground forces. (He is "general", not "admiral")

May be Obsidian has intentionally left this content in the release build, so we can find it ...

I had LS mastery, opened the tomb, and then left without problems. One of the door is the exit, the other two lead to some boxes, and they are all unlocked.

Almost all your WTF questions are answered in the game. In order to find them, you should play very slowly, be very carefull to dialogs, talk as much as possible with NPC. And you will find the answers.

In one conversation with Kreia on Telos I asked what will happen with me if she dies, and as I remember she wasn't sure...

Just small glitches form time ti time (movies without sound, skipped dialogs) - solved with reload.

Advice: NEVER buy laptop with the intention to play games on it !!!

I think developers made a big mistake in the story, calling you "the last known jedi". Only a word will make it more reasonable: you are "ONE of the last known jedies".

I will try to state my impressions after Peragus and Telos. 1. Engine. I have NForce2 and FX 5700 and have some glitches only when switching to/from movies/cutscenes (start without sound, broken dialogs after movies), but reloading/restarting the game solves the problem. This happened just 4-5 times. In K1 I had no such glitches. Collision detection is working fine, absolutely no "wall crossings" or other similar issues. Save game is 2 seconds, reload game is 4 seconds - yep! In general, it is running very smoothly. 2. AI. Combat AI is improved, especially with stationary mode. The path finding of NPC is the same as in K1 - they are lost from time to time, but this is not a killing issue. 3. Graphics and level design. The quality of textures definitely is not for 2005 game. I think in K1 textures were higher quality. But character faces are cool. The levels are well designed as geometry, but the furniture is missing - is your home/offie/warehouse so empty?? This is a big design error, may be due to lack of time. The feeling is not like Star Wars, but like Quake 2 - big empty halls. Terrible. 4. Story. May be this is the most discussed issue on the forum. My oppinion is that the story is great, BUT not easy to understand and follow - requires a lot of carefull dialog selection and thinking. This is not a kiddish "save the world" story, but much more complicated. Saving the world here is a side effect. Some users say in K1 you know what you do, but in K2 you don't. Its not true - I think it is quite obvious what you do - May be drawback of the story for some users is that in order to understand it, you should choose the proper dialog options. 5. Summary. Compared with K1: better story and NPCs, same gameplay and sound, worse level design.

If it is sentinel, start with int=16, dex=str=12, everything else in wis/char.

In general: ATI is better with DirectX, NVidia is better wiht OpenGL. All OpenGL games have more problems with ATI than NVidia. May be it is best to ask Akari or s.o. else which ATI driver versions are nost friendly to KOTOR2.

Tha last squad based FPS I played was Freedom Fighters - good game, success depends not only on your reflexes, but on how you will command your squad tactically. Hope squads will be the future of FPS. I dream for "FPS", where you will not shoot, but only give orders. May be Hades_one will like it ...

Come to Bulgaria! Many games can be freelly downloaded - including no-cd crack.

May be Feargus will buy Troika - for $1. Including source engine license. (w00t)

You are completely right. The only reliable source for KOTOR3 is lucasartc.com. Everything else is nonsence. End of story.
