  1. I can only say over and over the same: The quality of a translated/dubbed film is only a question of expenditure. Where I can come from they take a great effort to especially avoid this lip problem. The voice acting is done by selected professionals with the matching voice for their character. No mumbling and no slang or horrible voices. And you can really believe me, you practically don't notice that it's not the original language. But hey, of course, I know that I can't speak for all languages in the world. Surely the target language has to be slightly similar to the source language.
  2. That religion has intrigued me, and I understand little about it. However, after reading ancient Chinese works like Monkey, I am struck by how Buddhism is slightly cruel. People seem to accept their lot in life because they believe that it is due to something (in the case of the misfortunate) horrible they did in a previous life, thus putting the fault of their own misfortune on themselves. And, of course, the patricians did something good and should be more revered because they were virtuous in a previous life. I may be mistaken, but it seems kind of cruel to me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly, that's the point! But normally, when someone from Western culture starts to follow a foreign religion (like Buddism), he only absorbs the "good parts" and ignores all the other countless "holy crap" this religion (like every other religion as well, of course) has.
  3. I give up! There is no chance againt TWO of them (Hellenistics) ... :ph34r:
  4. What you are saying is right indeed. But seriously, KotOR isn't a sit-com bristling with countless untranslatable word jokes, so that argument doesn't count. Or is it? (perhaps in the original version? :"> " ) Edit: And I do live in another country.
  5. So, Hellenic is a horrible language too. Super, now there are already two of them.
  6. If that's true... I wonder who had the crazy idea with the "third word on the 12th page" test? Now I say it's a big fake if you ask me. (if you ask...)
  7. This seems to be the serious scientific approach to the issue... Latest up-to-date knowlege on this subject, ha? p.s. Sorry, haven't read it yet, but it looks impressive!
  8. Hating your language? I always thought Scandinavians in common are very proud of their nation and so on. But never mind, some languages sound horrible and some don't, who cares as long as we have the world language slang English...
  9. Playing DS could have other consequences, i.e. that many people won't talk to you anymore. I could imagine that the Republic will reward you more than the Sith will on the long run. Being with the Sith will result in constant struggle, no one of them will give you anything without a fight. Additionally a self-declared Sith Lord fighting with other Sith Lords for absolute power has even more enemies than a Jedi Master, but I may be wrong on this because of the current situation in the galaxy.
  10. Which time zone are they in?
  11. Which one are you actually referring to. The handy one with the three buttons?
  12. I've never seen alien Mandalorians in the comics, don't they look like humans? You are right. But in a whole hyperspace traveling galaxy, however, the population should be a little bit more varied. For my taste, in KotOR1 you ran into too many humans (and twileks).
  13. Waiting till Feb in Europe is ok as far as we'll get a great voice acting.
  14. The Echani are a nice expansion to the SW universe, as are the Mandalorians. But that they all look like common humans is very unimaginative. If they were a race of their own coming from different places in the galaxy and therefor looked more exotic/alien would add much more to the credibility.
  15. Beast control kind of scares me, who know what evil a dark jedi could use this power for, and those unfortant beast <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll tame it and then feed it. That's pure lightside!
  16. my prediction: LS = ∞ DS = ∞
  17. KotOR is a nice amusement since it is much more fun to take an active part in the action than passively watching a film.
  18. Perhaps it's a situation similar to the first game. The Sith are after another target and don't really take a notice of you until they realize the tremendous danger coming from your person. And because you are the "last known Jedi" so far, every evil power in the galaxy will concentrate on you.
  19. This sounds like the only plausible explanation.
  20. Beast Control and second Force Sight
  21. ...and the review is right?
  22. But what about her having only one hand, is this representative of her in your opinon?
  23. That's why they call them video games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Concerning romances it won't be a difference to real life (if not the other way round) for you two, due to KotOR's ESRB rating...
  24. It is more likely she has no feet than only one hand... (but perhaps it's an artificial limb)
  25. There are some early screenshots. But most noticeable the animation on the official site shows Kreia two-handed, fluttering a double blade.
