Force Wave was the level 3 "Force Push" power. Force Storm is the level 3 "Force Lightning" power.

I'm not sure if your drivers would necessarily apply still. Is it Radeon onboard? Although uninstalling drivers is fairly straightforward IMO.

Oooo, no Force Storm. How very unique of you!

Hmmmm, is that real? Someone must have added that in, because I don't remember it

It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would be a little out of place to not have the voice overs. I guess Aurora will be doing them afterall

Oh I know that. I turn that stuff off even on my first playthrough Trask still goes on through his stuff, and all in all I find that level to be tedious, since it always plays through the same way. I would have preferred I could just start on Taris.

Hahahaha. Increases your initimidation abilities against male NPCs.

Just install your new videocard. Most motherboards will override on-board video if there is a video card in a AGP/PCI-E slot. And then just install drivers for your new video card. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> AWESOME This one little bit of knowledge (or lack of) was the main excuse I kept using on myself to not get one. Thanks Ender <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is possible you might have to uninstall the motherboard one first. To be honest I don't have much experience with them. I know if I get a new video card from a different manufacturer, I uninstall the old one before putting the new one in.

You do realize I made that up about the TORG acronym.. I really don't know what it means.. I just thought what I said sounded good. Somehow, I think Darque would like it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I realize it. I didn't really think Darque would lead me astray.....although I recenlty discovered she's the Sith Lord we've been looking for. The Sith practice in deception, and she knows of the darkside

I don't recall crushing any of his ideas recently (or ever for that matter). Mystary!!!

Tomb Raider 6? I lost count after 2

I should have seen it. Given your "love story" for KOTOR 3, there's definite DS there. Plus, I've noticed my skin is rather pasty and veiny...yup....influenced by a darksider.

The fanbois are too busy professing their love for her in different threads and different forums?

Swords are cool. In fantasy I usually prefer a melee warrior of some sort. It lets my character show off his big muscles and show how brave he is to the romantic interests in the game. In games with technology though, I'm all about the guns. Why walk up to the guy with a hammer, when you can shoot him before he knows you're there, in the eye, with 95% accuracy?

****ALANSCHU INFLUENCE: INCREASED**** At this rate you'll be able to train me as a Jedi in no time.

I like the idea of for a change NOT powering someone through until level 20 in one game, and slowing things down a bit from an overall XP thing. This would give time for a romance to develop a bit more naturally. I guess one thing I hate about romances is that the options for romance are usually too narrow. Why must my character only have romantic interests in Bastila, but not the capability of liking someone else more?

What? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think he's referring the article on PBS that I referenced.

Although many of the conversation points did require you to bump into someone on a planet, although same could be said for KOTOR 2. I never remember this option in KOTOR 1. Where exactly do you start in the game then?

Plus, in Morrowind you can use a Daikatana as a backup weapon should things get up close and personal.

I was just wondering what people thought about romances in RPGs. I'll admit, when I first clued in that I my relationship with Jaheira was actually turning into a romance in BG2, I was thinking it was very neat. I also enjoyed the little bit of Annah opening up towards TNO in PS:T However, for the most part, I find romances to sometimes be rather rushed, and seem to just be included as it's "the in thing" to do right now. Bastila's romance wasn't too bad, but given the huge amount of fanbois that seem to profess their love for her, I am almost wondering if it was me. I guess if you put an attractive woman in a game with a nice voice, simply having her show some sort of response to the male hormonal urges is like a win for some. While there were times I found it pretty amusing ("That starship doesn't fly with me"), I certainly didn't find it essential, nor did it make me think that Bastila was suddenly a very deep character. It seemed like something that was added because somewhere someone knew that young males (and perhaps females) would find her attractive and would go through the motions to snag a kiss (although I'm sure they were hoping for a bit more). Romances for female players seem even worse. I suspect it's because games are largely created by males, so there's not much perspective of things there. They tried to make Carth a sensitive man, but I think they tried to make the romance a bit too funny with some of his lines, which ended up coming off a rather corny. Meh. Let me know what you guys think. And I'll be keeping a running total of the amount of "I Bastila, she's so hotz0rs" posts for fun

I prefer to be no one's b!tch. I actually haven't played Daikatana.....it just sort of slipped past. I heard from my friend that it wasn't THAT bad...but certainly nothing spectacular.

I can still play most online FPS very well online (which is the defacto game that requires the 60 fps) at as low as 30 FPS. I think it's quite phallo-centric

Checking the defacation areas for gold coins no doubt.

I knew it! All caps just doesn't exist unless you're playing Diablo 2 or referring to an acronym.
