  1. Thanks for the hint,does it work with Kotor2? Where do I find it?
  2. I have...couldn't find any...also looked at pcgamemods but so far no one posted such a mod... Anyone volunteers? Im sure loads of people here would enjoy having that choice...
  3. I'd really like to have atton's face on the pc instead of those weird heads... Atton's is probably the face that looks like mine the most. is there any way to change that? Thanks in advance
  4. Korriban and dantooine, again??? FFS, I really, really hope not! Once was enough,twice was really pushing it, but 3 times is just plain lame. I say skip all the planets we've already been thru,and use some of the tons of planets in the star wars universe that were not explored. As for appearances, I'd definetely have Revan and Bastila, possibly a force ghost from Kreia, maybe Jolee,but that is about it. Put in a male cathar jedi (like juhani) that starts as a disciple from the same master as you, goes into ur party but then reveals to be associated with the sith somehow,that would be cool...but like,in the middle of the game so you can either give him opportunity to redeem or if you're ds to join him. Maybe add someone from yoda's race to the actual party as a mentor this time around?
  5. Just out of curiousity (since I don't have any expertise about this really), would LucasArts really throw thunderbolts if someone modded in some dialogue/scripted events, which would mostly just utilize assets already present in the game discs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wait, Atris was supposed to be the final boss??? Hmm... what else was different in Obsidian's original intentions? Care to explain?
  6. Thank you! Im glad someone does see this as well, it simply doesnt make any sense no matter how they try to put it, sabers have nothing to do with strenght. Obviously I cant really expect this to be changed in KotOR2, seeing as though something like that would be unprecedented in the whole game industry, but maybe they will get it right for the next game... Same for the whole single hilt/staff/2 sabers thing, combat effects (like sabers cutting thru swords,deflecting some force powers, shooting some sparks when ripping thru armor). What bothers me about that is that previous game had already addressed that nicely (e.g. Jedi Academy). it would be REALLY nice if they would improve those aspects of combat, as well as fix the whole BAB progression of guardians/sentinels/consulars.
  7. The rant goes on. Another thing that bugs me is the whole intelligence attribute. It's used to determine how many skill points you get,and to me that doesnt make any sense. The way I'd make would be something like this: Lets say you start with Dex 16 with is +3. That means you should have 3 skill points/ level to spend on dex based skills like security. Same goes for wisdom, charisma, intelligence and so on. The number of point you spend on an attribute should determine how many skill points you should have on that skill. That way we could use attribute points more efficiently than being forced to put 16 on int to unlock dialogues,create items and so on. Another thing is, cortosis weave on swords should be something rare and that should have to be earned by means of upgrade,so that lightsabers could cut thru swords in game. This is 4000 years before the trilogy,the jedi are nearly extinct and yet everyone in the game has "saber resistant" swords. Why not have weaker enemies without this benefit? Jedis are so superior in the field of battle, but i feel this has yet to be incorporated in the game by any means other than stats increased.
  8. Ok, I just finished KotOr 2 for the PC. If it matters I was a LS Guardian/WM. First of all i'd like to point out that i was absolutely blown away by the depth given to the story and to Kreia herself, possibly one of the best characters I have ever come across in a game. Forget the Jedi Masters, they got nothing on her. All in all the story is good, albeit obviously the ending was rushed and plotholes are plenty. But this is certainly NOT what my rant is about, as it would be silly to rant in a new topic all that people have been writing in this forum for ages. What I'd like to complain about is how the game incorporated combat. A lightsaber is not a sword. Why is strenght determining how much damage someone can cause with a lightsaber??? It's a friggin laser that cuts thru anything upon contact!!! The only thing strenght could possibly influence on is when 2 sabers lock, but even so usually in the movies the "unlocking" is done using a force power or with a fast movement. The feat lightsaber finesse is not enough, lightsabers should be entirely dex based. No jedis are muscular and wear heavy armors,they are nimble and light. THATS the whole fun of playing a jedi, if I wanted to play arnold i'd play NWN as a barbarian armed with a great axe. Furthermore, that is part of what separates jedis from common characters, like soldiers, who in fact would have to rely on strenght, and that is why you cant "turn" someone into a jedi with the blink of an eye, jedis are trained since the cradle, and not lifting weights (actually the opposite since sabers almost dont have weight) but with little remotes shooting blaster shots at them that they have to reflect. You might say "but that is how the engine incorporates combat !!1 LOL" but thats not enough for me. This engine was already modified from NWN, it could have been modified further to separate even more regular characters from jedi. I a patch is coming how to fix a lot of the problems, I hope it also takes this into account,besides the obvious BAB progression problems. Another thing that upsets me since KotOR I is how 2 lightsabers or a saber staff are always more powerful than a single saber, which totally ruins the experience for me. That really really needs to be better balanced, or make the choice merely a cosmetic one. In jedi academy this was better balanced by giving more styles of combat available for single hilts. As for KotOR3, what i'd like to see is the return of the sanity in terms of who gets to be a jedi and who does not. I'd like to see a main character who has been trained to be a jedi since a small child, like bastila. I'd like to see combat as detailed and graphically pleasant as jade empire seems to possess. i'd like to see jedi using the force to disarm their opponents of blasters and swords, i'd like to see dismemberments or at least better effects (like in jedi academy) when a saber cuts thru someone, and I'd like to see the coreography used in the movies for lightsaber combat, i'd like to see jedi using their saber to absorb force lightning like obi wan does in episode 2. Also, can we please drop the outer rim?? its old,its tired, lets go to the core worlds, lets visit coruscant, naboo, etc. lets us find some real jedi holocrons and gain habilities by it, (as a sidequest maybe?) lets visit the birthplace of the real sith, add some actual space shooter minigame, tell us the story of the birth of the jedi as force users. PS: sorry for the double post, it was not my fault

  10. once again we fall back to reading comprehension. THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT RELEASE DATES.THIS THREAD IS ABOUT PEOPLE IN THESE FORUMS TURNING EVERY SINGLE THREAD INTO RELEASE DATE DISCUSSIONS WHEN THEY SHOULDNT BE <{POST_SNAPBACK}> THAT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TURNED EVERY THREAT THAT DISCUSSED THE RELEASE DATES INTO A FLAME WAR,SO NOW STOP WHINING AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN, BECAUSE WE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RELEASE DATES IN EVERY THREAD WE CAN, SO UNLESS YOU ARE A MOD YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DEAL WITH IT. NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT. KTHXBAI AND BTW,YES LETS BOYCOTT THIS GAME TO GIVE LA THE SAME TREATMENT THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING US.
  11. And I was hoping for a male cathar or a female wookie =/ Oh well, I will be happy if those "my back became twice as large" robes of Kotor dont make it into the second game...same for the jogging pants that seems to instantly haunt us no matter what light or medium armor we put on...
  12. Dude, read what you just said...Xbox,128bit???? PC, 32 bit? LMAO. Xbox is a toned down pc with a pentium 3 733 mhz processsor and a GeForce 3 GPU. IF anything, My PC has at the very least 5 times the processing power of an Xbox, with its 3000+ processor and GeForce 6800GT GPU. The REAL consoles,however,such as ps2 and gamecube use RISC processors and that is why their CPU is 128bit. Even though today that is already old news/tech. The memory bandwith on my 6800GT is 256bit. Back on topic, though, I really doubt LA will even notice this thread,and if they do,they wont do anything about it...so forget additional content.
  13. Well said. Whoever is responsible for this "decision" should have done a little research on the profile of pc gamers, as well as our behavior and trends, and they would find out that such things are not taken lightly by us. We invest a lot of money yearly in both hardware and games, we do not just buy a single piece of hardware that will last for years at a time. Most of us follow a game as soon as it is announced untill it is finally released, and yes, we also analyze the company's actions regarding us gamers, as this influences technical support and replayability of our games. As an analogy, a console gamer might not care/ observe that Epic games just signed a contract with midway to sell their games,so that is why the atari logo wont be on the box of unreal championship 2, but you can bet that it will influence pc gamer's decisions over the next unreal tournament. They have been saying it would be available for both platforms at the same time from day one, and we were already sore from having KOTOR I after the console gamers, doing it again just made it worse. Spoilers will be abundant here and on every single game website. Even if we ignore them there is always someone you know that buys the xbox version and babbles about it to you. Now I ask you all, would you pay the same to watch a movie after someone just told you its whole story? Or would you rather watch one you know nothing about except what you were meant to know prior to watching it? So you see,it's not just about the time. It's about keeping their word, its about playing the game without spoilers,and its about respecting us. They should have thought about the message they were sending us with this release date news. What is even worse is the lack of an explanation or any additional content for the PC since it will be coming out later. What WOULD be even worse is if the PC version turns out to be just a port of the xbox version,with its bad graphics/framerates .
  14. Oh wow, The huge 25 page thread of enraged PC gamers complaining about LA selling their soul to MS and shafting us is gone! Maybe because several of us said we'd go for the "alternative" way to get the game so LA would not get our money? Guess what, we're still doing it! best way to deal with it is to think twice next time before LYING. :angry:
  15. Hell will freeze over before I'll even consider getting that black brick
  16. They have just deleted the huge thread we were all in... Very mature of them... You are free to express your oppinions as long as they are nice to us.
  17. Why do I still see on the screenshots of the new game the old wardrobe of KOTOR? Please please try to look into getting the characters some nicer clothing will ya? No one wants their jedi running around in blue jogging pants...Look at episode 2 for cryin out loud...Anakin's clothing,.now thats a jedi outfit! And would it be possible if the common jedi robes would be a lil more well designed than the ones in KOTOR? that blue,red and brown ones are just...*no comment*
