Seems odd to frequent a place that has information about a game that you simply do not care about. That bored?

But why frequent the KOTOR 2 forums?

The main reason why you never really "needed" skills is because they need to make sure the game difficulty is similar for people that do choose different skills. As for persuade, I'd say it was probably the best skill to have, aside from maybe some computer hacking (very useful to avoid fights and make things generally all round easier). With persuade I was able to get people to talk with me more, and give me much more sidequests and better rewards for them. Having said all that, I'm all for making skills more useful.

How the heck did this thread turn into a flamethowing fest? I just didn't see it coming at all?????

Ahem...that's Mortal Kombat j/k

Darker could also mean more difficult choices to make. Do you save a planet, or a friend/party-member? or something like that. I wouldn't mind it.....dilemmas can be neat and tend to add emotion to a game.

Maybe if the X-Box 2 comes out by feb/dec

I think it would be too difficult to implement at this stage of development. No netcode or any sort of connectivity even exist.

LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if some stuff might have to be omitted from the manual to prevent some sort of infringement......it would be wierd, but who knows?

WHAT??!?!?! Crazy talk!

I actually used the keyboard for it....much more responsive. In fact, I would bet that any problems computer users had with this minigame was the fact that for whatever reason the game cranked your mouse sensitivity down to the smallest number that is still greater than zero

I love HK-47. Dave Gaider did a sweet job with him. I love it when he says something like: "Appeasement: Yes master...good master."

No...you don't like any minigames. Not very plausible with a CRPG however. Even the most story based CRPGs still have combat (or at least force you to try to avoid combat).

In Las Vegas the house always hits under 17 and stays above 17. I think that depends on the house though doesn't it?

Just another thing to add to the ranged combat...I think improving the damage of it and whatnot would also make becoming a defensive Jedi more useful. I thought it was cool to see Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan beating up on the trade droids without making an offensive gesture. When I watched the new walkthough video, it looked like this was more useful as guys were actually falling to deflected blasts, so maybe ranged combat has become better? I think one thing that might also be better is if enemies used ranged feats. Let that Sith Assassin come at my with a Power Blast or a Rapid Shot. I know I saw them use melee feats, but I cannot remember any other ones. Anyways, just a thought. Keep up the good work.

Looks cool. Keep up the good work Obsidian! P.S. Is the video old, or has the release date not been moved actually?

I think I tried putting random stuff in, to no avail. Putting "a" flower would set it on fire?? :D

How can you champion being "free" in your games and then bash a game that gives you a chance to take a break from the plot for a second? Most sidequests don't advance the plot in any way.....why would you want such a linear game. After all, you'd only be doing what the developer wants...not what you want. (On a side note Pazaak was a poor game).

Which explains why The Sims is pretty much the best selling computer game? Having real life elements makes it easier to relate to the game, since we actually know what that element is like.

Ultima 7 was immersive due to many great factors, such as music, dialouge, NPC schedules, and interactivity of items. For instance, you could go into a farmer's house, kill him if you so desired, rip open a bag of flour, take a bucket to a well, get water, put water on the flour, knead the dough, and bake bread. If you left the dough on the oven too long, the bread would burn. You could mix honey, and make a sweet pie, or use meat for a meat pie if you so desired. Fans have clammored for flowing capes, hoods, customizable hilts, etc. These things don't greatly change gameplay, but they add a level of immersion. I never burned the bread in Ultima 7. But I did find out that you didn't need to knead the dough in order to bake it. I just put the flower in the oven and voila

I liked Jaheira for the role of strong woman that wasn't a bitch. She voiced her opinion strongly, but always had your back.

A little bit of me would like to see Alderaan....since it does get destroyed eventually

every contestant should be stripped off everything except his favourite weapon - whatever that may be. a little bit like the box fight in Fallout2 Couldn't you sneak in the brass knuckles? Sucked when that guy bit your ear off though.....lost a point of charisma

Just to add something to the person that posted earlier..... An adrenal stimulant won't help you regain "lost dexterity" bonuses. When armor says max +1 Dex bonus, you could have a Dexterity of a billion and you'd still only get the +1 from your dexterity.
