I believe you are thinking of Vandar, Vrook is the old grey haired man. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The thought of the MSL actually being Vandar on stilts is... a bit stretched, if you'll pardon me...

I reckon the MSL is going to be a different character depending what you answered about what happened in the first game (and possibly on what path you take). If Revan was DS I wouldn't be surprised if the MSL turns out to be Revan

It's entirely possible the devs aren't allowed to answer questions like that (has to come through "official channels"), hence their continued silence.

Of course, since in reality KOTOR1 only took about 30 hours (or less if you're being extra-speedy; takes me about 30 hours), maybe they took that difference into account and the 40 hours figure will be more accurate

Would that be a Feargus Urquhart smiley, or a <censored> smiley? I think we should have a Feargus Urquhart smiley. :D

I know what you mean. Lucasarts made a point of making sure they made it quite clear that they were pushing for a simultaneous release. It

*giggle*

Damn, got there before me

Presumably gaining the three implant feats involves surgery (to have the first port fitted and then the two improvements), then switching implants just involves unplugging the little device from behind your ear (or something) and then plugging in the new one? Bit like that chip attached to the Headmaster in Remembrance of the Daleks. Well, maybe. OK, that reference was rather obscure and irrelevant but I thought the thread had a silliness level to be maintained

There's probably still time for UI tweaks and things. The rest? Well, the guys making KOTOR3 could read it.

Sanity? Lost that years ago...

What isn't, these days...

Suvam Tan has several, IIRC, no?

Hey, where are the droid classes? Out of the non-force users, the droids are coolest

The Star Wars setting is such that you'd always be in the shadow of Force users (unless the devs did something really creative), and the PC being in the shadow of companions is never a good idea. TBH, the whole concept makes me shudder, but that's due to a failing of mine that makes me incapable of playing an RPG unless I get some sort of magical abilities. When one of my friends organised a d20 modern PnP game I managed to complain loudly enough to force him to set it in an alternate reality with rare mind powers just so I could play a psion :D I suppose it could work, but it would be really difficult to make me enjoy it and not have me thinking "Wish I had Force powers" at every turn...

Malak's voice made up for a lot of his arguably dubious villainy. B) Hmm. I notice the "Kill Carth" option currently has 100% of votes. GRIN :ph34r: :ph34r:

That was great. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! :D :ph34r: :D :ph34r: :D :ph34r: :D *Cough*

Porting the KOTOR series to Linux would be a lot of effort for, I suspect, not very much gain. Hopefully in a few years' time, if .NET takes off and proves a viable platform for writing games for (and I don't see why it shouldn't) and the Mono project (whose philosophy still makes me a bit uneasy) keeps up, it will be much easier to make Windows games run under Linux. There's always Cedega but last time I tried it (ages and several versions ago when it was called WineX) the games that did run ran much much slower than on Windows. And it seems a bit silly to pay for something that runs things less well than WIndows does when I already paid for Windows... For the moment I'll be keeping that Windows install sitting around to reboot to when playing a game

Ooooh, yes :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: When I play darkside I find myself cackling evilly most of the time. It's quite concerning, actually...

The "Don't show Revan's face at all" option pretty much qualifies.

Definitely the perspective. The close-up of the ship's nose does it

Did anyone ever mention Twi'leks? No. So why are you? <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because I felt like it

The Star Forge Robes were too obviously Darth Revan's Robes (which looked really cool) recoloured. I think the new style robes Obsidian are doing for KOTOR2 will look much better. Revan's going to appear hooded and masked in any case I suspect, unless we get some sort of way of telling the game what he/she looked like (hard to not make clunky) or they simply declare "Revan looked like this" (aaaarrrgghh! no! but I don't think they will). And as for the others... I could start enumerating how many of them are dead again :ph34r: Actually, if Revan was light side, it would be quite cool if instead of appearing masked he appeared within a nimbus of light bright enough to conceal his features. (Wouldn't work for anything longer than a brief appearance of course, but I doubt his appearance will be more than brief anyway).

Twi'leks are easy, they go by colour

LOL :D Anyhow, since Ajunta Pall used a sword, we can conjecture that lightsabers were invented some time between 4000 and 5000 years before the movies...? In Exar Kun's time they must have been a relatively knew thing, which makes sense since he was the first to try a double-ended lightsaber.
