On a side note, a really common one I see at work is paycheck (paycheque)

First off... Spellmar says: "QUEUED attacks" Secondly, I would always queue attacks..but if I did a regular attack first, I would do the force jump.

But the real question is......why would Bastila join? Wouldn't she be with Revan? And how are people that are so hung up on the "level" of a character gonna react when they see that she is not level 18/19 or whatever? I wouldn't doubt Bastila being in the game in some way (if she is not dead), but I would bet money that she will not be a joinable NPC. And if she is...she cannot be a very well written one. No one is gonna spend all this time developing a character that has a chance of not even being in the game.

Since revan did not truly have a voice in the previous game, I don't think we should have a conversation with him in order to avoid it. The voice chosen for Revan would only satisfy some people.

If Revan is LS, HK is off to protect....if he's DS, then he's off to kill. Agreed?

I think any reasonable person would not think that anyways.

It probably isn't actually that hard to adjust the geometry of her face once it has been done. Doing some nips and tucks and playing around with the verticies could probably make things look better in a fairly short amount of time.

well...6 beds for 7 humans (since we are Revan and do not require sleep)....1 has to drive the silly thing

Revan could possibly use his assassination droid to keep tabs on you...with a failsafe to not actually kill or something...I dunno. But maybe it would be one of those situations where you can only get HK as an NPC party member if you chose Revan as evil or something? I know that that is kinda stretching it though.

I think if we see HK again, it'll be because Revan is kaput and he has no master, or his assassination protocol has been implemented and you bump into him....maybe he's out to get you (which could explain if he became a party member again).

Because like a submarine or probably any other naval vessel, not everyone sleeps at the same time. I took a tour through an old decommissioned diesel submarine a few years ago, and they only had enough beds for a third of the crew, since a third was always manning the controls, and the last third was doing maintenance.

I think Ultima 7 only had 2 males and two females (one white and one black)...maybe 3....but that might have been Serpent Isle.

Fortunately, I do not think that having a "lower" level character that is a mentor for you is considered designing the game stupidly. Nor would I consider starting you off at level 1....since it is indeed just an arbitrary number.

I just finished a 2/18 Scoundrel/Consular By the end with boosts from equipment, I had like 28 wisdom and 20 charisma (full Lightside)

I agree that tutorials tend to be better if it is in some way related to the universe at least, if not the game. However, I do feel there should be an option to skip it. I like the idea behind KOTOR 2's because it is skippable, and you can piece together what happened as you play through it the first time.

Mine turns off before the door is closed all the way

Once getting the hang of the controls, I really enjoyed Gothic 2

Despite the fact you reiterate how poorly KOTOR adheres to the D20? They could do anything.

Since we haven't seen any actions, you also have nothing to base your opinion on...just being cynical.

I understand that part. But I think he feels the only way NPCs will be different depending on LS/DS and gender is based upon an apprentice, which I do not think will necessarily be the case.

I never did BG2s tutorial. I liked Half-Life's tutorial too.

Yes yes I know. But you cannot have a plot around a dead person, if there is a chance that that dead person can be alive

Ah....sounded like you were arguing against me at first....but you are agreeing with me that a character can still be a "lower" level and be powerful enough to be a mentor? I remember you had a neat idea of if someone does damage greater than your constitution, player should make a save or die. I think it would probably make things too difficult for some, but it would be fun for me

Considering the possibility of Bastila being dead, this character cannot be Bastila, otherwise some of us would never see this character despite her being all over merchandise and advertising, which would be silly. White-haired woman seems important to plot....you cannot have a person that is dead be important to the plot (well you can....you just never see them, but you cannot have that dead person possibly be alive )

????? Is this a response to me?
