I prefer Pearl Jam, U2, Foo Fighters, since we're on the subject

I made it to the 6th level.

Then don't argue with him. As for his points...I tend to agree. It looks cool, and seeing footage from the game is an indication that progress has been done. In an attempt to answer your question Gromnir, I think simply seeing the game in action serves as an indicator of progress in development. They are showing videos now.....and soon we can be doing what they are doing on the screen ourselves.....or something like that......I dunno.

Thing is....it isn't "another" multiplayer question. Some one just brought it back from the dead.

Almost every English person I have ever met has used the word cheers as a goodbye, and I live in Canada

One of the areas in which I always had a problem suspending my disbelief was how each planet had an atmosphere breathable by pretty much every race. Is the tubing on the armor an attempt to change this? Every planet does not have a breathable atmosphere...only the ones that have life on them (which are the only ones that you can visit in the game.

Akari, no one has noticed that sometimes Force Speed stays on when you go to a different map? This was on the PC version, so I don't know what it may be like on the XBOX version.

Heh....I didn't even notice the robes the first time through.

1. I prefer the original trilogy to the prequel trilogy thus far. 2. I prefer KOTOR's storyline to the prequel storyline thus far. 3. Sure it's possible. Maybe Lucas will finally get things right and make an excellent movie. It's supposed to be a very dark movie, so here's hoping. 4. I would always enjoy more movies of any franchise, as long as they are good movies. Problem is that sequels tend to lose their edge because eventually you run out of new ways to do things.

If you are roleplaying your character, your decisions should be based on whether or not you "feel" for the characters. Playing Darkside is a whole lot more than just being a spoiled brat.

I voted no because I would like to play the game sooner rather than much later.

People play it to roleplay their character, not necessarily for their own personal amusement at "the suffering of others." Sometimes a darker story can be a more interesting story.

Me too.

I do not care about my post count. To be honest I fail to see the point of post counts since I don't feel they serve any real purpose. And considering my replies are generally on topic, I also do not see how it could border on spamming. I never said experience and levels were not relevant...they are just arbitrary. I understand that they are a measurement of power, but it is all relative. It's a method of progress, but the fact that a player starts at 0 XP does not have to mean he is an absolute n00b. If this was the case nobody should have 0 XP, since nobody has zero experience. It is a tool for measuring progress, agreed. But since no one can say what 0 XP is or 1000 XP or level 1...it's just relative. A level 4 character is more powerful than a level 1 character. But to say that a level 4 character is "weak" for someone and their history is taking the rules farther than one has to (which would make sense, seeing as you have a beef against the game so you will bring out as much as you can against it). No! A game style of an action game or a CRPG is a means of telling a story. There is absoultely no reason at all that some story-related event that happens in an action game cannot happen in a story-related event in a CRPG. The act of playing the game is fundamentally different, but that is not the discussion...the actions that happen to characters is up for discussion. It's not about "mirroring" the game, it is just utilizing a story-related idea from it. I didn't say he "couldn't" use his abilities....I'm saying he didn't. If Revan was truly a great tactician, if he felt that this Jedi that was following him around was not very talented yet, he would not utilize him nearly as much as the rest of the Army. As you said, a 0 XP Jedi is a n00b fresh out of the Academy...I would think he'd be Revan's last resort since there was almost undoubtedly Jedi that had more than 0 XP. As for the "KP" duty or whatever....it was a euphemism. I simply used it as a way that the PC we will play did other things than get involved in the combat. Jedi Masters struggled in a fight against overwhelming odds in Episode 2. And why would he have more battle training than a non-jedi n00b? They both have 0 XP. Wouldn't a soldier, someone bred for battle, have more preliminary training than a Jedi that is utilized for much more diverse roles than combat?

Just a note, I don't think sidequests make a game non-linear. It just gives you extra stuff to do. Linearity has to do with how you play through the story, and perhaps more specifically the sequence you play through the story. Games that provide multiple solutions to problems are non-linear, or allowing you to perform quests in a different order. I still consider Baldur's Gate to be an excruciatingly linear game....just one with lots of sidequests.

I remember a cool fight with a death claw in Fallout. I snuck up close enough to get a blast with my shotgun on it. It came at me and I fired again. It went nuts and I was down to my last chance since I was down to really low HP. I fired my shotgun and hit again and I was hoping that my next shot better take him out or I'm fugged....but I need to do heavy damage (I assumed). So I took a chance, aimed for the head and BLAM...got a critical (which resulted in the animation that blew its head off to boot) and lived to tell about it

Or how in the early 1900s, patent offices believed that eventually everything that can be invented will be shortly

As somebody who loves how my Radeon 9800 Pro performs with EVERYTHING I can throw at it that isn't KOTOR (and KOTOR runs fast, it just crashes at random on area transitions...), this guy is just a chucklehead ATI fanboy. As for x800 XT vs. 6800 GT... the 6800 GT actually out-performs the x800 XT in Far Cry in many areas because it has SM 3.0. The 6800 GT in particular kicks ass for the price. Since Far Cry is the most graphically intensive thing out there right now, that should tell you something. Of course, Far Cry also runs great on Radeon 9800 Pros... but KOTOR pukes? Hmm... Seriously. I just upgraded to a 9800 Pro and have the latest drivers and have no problems running the game.

Nothing is done without an FPS loss.

Didn't we already know this?

I really should open a new window and add all my comments into a single post On a side note, for some reason I bet Hades_One wouldn't have a problem with a 0 XP Scoundrel...no matter what his response will be.

Revan was first and foremost a tactician and general he wouldn't let personal feelings get in the way of sound tactical judgement. Perhaps because the Jedi is a 0 XP n00b out of the Academy, Revan didn't use him since he would not be useful.
