    You might end up having to pay lots of import duty or something, though... could be a false economy :rolleyes:

     

    You don't want an iPod anyway, they're really fragile, use dodgy proprietary software rather than just appearing as an external hard drive, have overly short battery life (and you can't replace the battery), only play AAC and MP3, and are a target for muggers these days apparently...

     

    I've been eyeing up an iRiver H340, myself. Bit expensive. But none of the points above apply to it :)

    Separate forum for spoilers?

    in Star Wars: General Discussion

    That's several threads now that have had "Spoilers" or "Potential spoilers" or something in the title (and that I've avoided).

     

    To the mods/admins/whoever: I know it's a bit early since the Xbox release isn't out for two months or so yet, but could we have a separate "Spoilers" forum and segregate all of them to there rather than having them go into "General discussion"? I'd rather not have to avoid these forums entirely for too long (especially since I'll be waiting for the PC release in the UK)...

    What would you prefer?

    I am displeased  :)  I love KOTOR and i think the series are the best RPG's out there right now... and everyone is ridiculing the story plot and twists? There are much worse games out there right now... *cough* Batman, Spiderman2, Parappa the rappa, and Animal crossing.  :)  uhhhh yea *cough* lol.... I'm sure not all of you feel this way ^^ but come on! ha ha ha

    O also I am 99% they would not have a Amnesiac Insane Plot Twist in KOTOR2. These are Video Game writers.. not 7 year old boys  <_<

     

    Ridiculing that plot twist I am not. A little cheesey it might be but the "Revelation" is my all time favourite moment in a computer game :)

     

    (I hadn't been spoilered on it, having not heard about KOTOR until a couple of months before PC release and assiduously avoided any sort of forums until I got it, and had been watching the Revan references thinking "hmm there's got to be something in that" and deliberately not thinking too hard about it just in case I guessed it. I remember saying out loud "Oh my god what if I'm Revan" right at the point where it switches into the FMV...)

     

    Ahem.

     

    What was the gist of this thread again? :)

    What if force powers were alignment-bound?

    The ridiculous thing about Jolee is that he is very clearly LS

     

    Ridiculous? Nah... Disappointing in a way but not ridiculous. It's kind of what defines the character: in many ways he has the beliefs and spirit of a Jedi Master, but he denies it and pretends he's no more light than dark. He's pretty much conned himself into believing it, too. Only realises moments before being skewered by Revan's lightsaber... :ph34r: :lol:

    What would you prefer?

    I prefer both. Predifined characters for easier sequels.

     

    But i also like my own characters that i hav created, since it makes it seem like your story, and that character is you, interacting with the NPCs. A form of escapism as someone else said.

     

    Bioware did rather well at glueing the two ideas together, I reckon.

     

    Blimey don't I sound like a fanboi. Rah Rah Rah! Bioware r0xx0rs!! etc :lol:

    Continuation of previous post... nah, to me, roleplaying is more usually being an extraordinary person in an extraordinary situation :) Increases the escapism factor. (I've played "normal-ish" individuals in pen-and-paper campaigns, but more often wackos. After all, a DM will occasionally forget himself and land you in a "normal" situation...)

     

    But hey, I'm a complete weirdo myself...

    I never understand why people want to roleplay normal characters...  :)  :)

     

    Well by normal jedi you are in no way ordinary to Earth standards .. :) but whats the fun in being Superman?

    Roleplaying is generally being a normal guy/gal in an extraordinary situation .. Otherwise you won't connect to you alternate self!

     

    I don't think Revan wasn't built up to be a "Superman" by the story. He was powerful, yes, but not unfathomably so. After all, Malak outwitted him and blew his mind away with a ship blaster, didn't he? :lol::p And besides, if you played LS you got to discover how very wrong your previous self had been and disown it, going around saying "I'm not Revan any more!" :)

     

    Now the combat in KOTOR1 was, in general, rather too easy, but that's a separate issue entirely...

    Final villian is it Revan?

    I think, tho this isn't an original idea on my part, that the masked persons identity changes depending on the way you answer the questions. I still think it can be Bastilla, depending on what you say happened in K1.

     

    Hey I posted that idea! :lol: (Anyone going to claim having said it before me...?)

     

    Maybe the MSL is Revan if the KOTOR2 PC is LS and you tell the game Revan was DS in KOTOR1. (With both DS the MSL is Bastila and the PC turns out to be Revan again... Nah, just kidding :) )

     

    As to Revan's voice, yeah sure it can be done. Revan did have a voice in KOTOR1, simply no lines except for random shouts during combat. Although perhaps it would be cooler if for that particular identity of the MSL (and only that one), you just see the sub-titles and hear no dialogue: Revan was ever the quiet one :)

    having followed that site for a little time know he seems to have his sources!

     

    He's a big fat ugly troll who makes it all up. I'll just keep telling myself that. Midichl*****s do not exist. Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... *floats in the air* *serenity*

    Yessss

     

    No meere console can be compared with the power of the PC side :o

     

    Join us or die with your stupid circuits! :angry:

     

    I have nothing against consoles, but its idiotic 9 year olds that are hell bent on believing that my 3.2GH,P4, with the latest Nvidia graphics card and 1.2Gb worth of ram, need i go on...

     

    Ive heard too many times yes but consoles are designed for games so they must be better... grow up and learn the system specs :ph34r:

     

    To be fair, there's a little bit of truth in that. When writing a game for a console the devs know the exact spec they're working to and can optimise for it, so console games tend to wring a bit more out of the available processing power than PC games do.

     

    The current console hardware is so far behind PCs it doesn't matter though ;)

    Do you want Star Wars RPG games to keep on coming?

    Since the era after the OT is only in books and books are only for entertainment scopes. I think KOTNR could easily take place right or few years after ROTJ.  Even if it follows a completely different course than that of the books and other games that have already been published.

     

    Oh no, imagine the stick from Nur Ab Sal if it wasn't consistent with the EU books ;)

     

    A "Knights of the New Republic" could work, but the further away from existing material it was, the better, if you ask me (far too many niggling annoying things and irritating characters with bad hair to contend with in the RotJ timeframe...) Of course, if you believe *SPOILER WARNING (giggle)* this thing (supershadow.com, comedy of the highest order), after the time of Episode 9 there won't be any more Star Wars storylines that can be written! :o
