I'd like it if some were just idiots.. But once you got known in the Sith ranks/world. They fear/respect you for the most part.
some events for example:
one sith dude who is moderately strong hasn't heard of you and talks some smack, has his friends tell him who you are an like, your a lord or whatever. He asks for mercy etc, you have the choice to kill him or humiliate etc.
Or you just walk by and a lot of them you can hear talking about you in the backround like 'Damn thats really him', they suck up to you etc.. At least until they think they can beat you.
I would haved liked it if after I conquered Korriban, the sith on like Manaan wouldnt be so idiotic. I would have liked it a lot if I could just kill everything on Korriban... lol.
Fear is important factor in Sith rule, but respect is more important. Because a unready, brutish apprentice, (such as Malak), will not be as fast to usurp Revan.
Malak did not out of fear as much he did out of power lust and contempt. IMHO.

Agreed. But my point is, no is, or can be, truly and completely neutral.
Would agree that the term neutral doesn't fit well.
Gray fits better IMO. Gray falls between dark and light,you can have a light gray or dark gray,but it's still not the extreme.(Dark or Light.)
Was Jolee neutral? No,he obviously wanted the Republic/Jedi to win over the sith. Could it be argued he wanted that while awile at the same time not himself being light in the extreme since of the word? I think it could.
Sorry for assuming gray and Netral as the same. But yeah, gray is fine.
-
Is this character we are playing much more of blank slate, or is he more like Revan, who actually wasn't?
Just a thought.
-
Agreed. Ultimately, people like Jolee were not definitely grey as he claims to be.
When one says "Light Side" or "Dark Side" it's always taken as an extreme. There are thoes that may follow the light or dark side but simply not to the extreme that is usually thought of when it the names come up.
Jolee wasn't as extreme as others in the Order. Did he fit in the light? More so then the dark yes,but he wasn't your typical Jedi. Which is what I think when someone says "gray" or neutral. He walked a path that he thought was correct without the leash the typical Jedi placed onto themselves. It's not exactly gray but it's not exactly light either.
I think it'd be a little easier to walk that path leaning towards the light then the dark.
Agreed. But my point is, no is, or can be, truly and completely neutral.
-
I agree, but I don't think they will do it. I guess I'm have to get Neverwinter Nigths 2 instead.
-
it looks nice artiiscally, but it they way the fight is going on, it makes them look like amateurs. IMHO.

Agrees with that the others have said. In Raymond E Fesits book, hilda (an old woman who is more than a first look would reveal) says that "Evil never anticipates the possibility of failure. That is it's weakness". The same should apply to the Sith in a sense; they can be blinded by their own power and greatness, so they may be careless in certain situations - that is to say, a few Sith that has just meet the main character with no idea of who he is at first, without takling a closer look at how strong he really is and attacks him are victims of this, so to speak, but they would on the other hand never be stupid enough to attack someone they clearly know is stronger/superior to them. If so, all the Sith of the Academy would have attacked Master Uthar everyday and thus there'd be no or VERY few pupils at the Sith Academy
Emperor Palpatine was the biggest example of "grand evil". Whatever happens, something will always goes his way. Except when he died. That was his biggest mistake. :D
Malak obviously wasn't too smart. He a lot of brute force, but not a lot of genius. He obviously found a way to repower himself, but still beaten down. Why? Because his power was damagable. If he could think of something to regain his health and power, why not find a way to make sure it's not destroyed? Revan might or might not be stronger, but obviously smarter, light or dark.Malak made two mistakes; his first mistake was trying to kill Revan when neither of them were ready (Betraying your master when you are both ambushed: it's not like he does not have more to deal with, he lost his jaw!), and his second mistake was not finishing Revan off.
I sort of liked that about Malak. When peopel are crafty and evil I tend to have some respect for them at least, but when they are just stupid brutish idiots who blow up entire planets to try and kill one person and that one person still manages to escape, it makes them more dislikable.
Agreed. I liked Malak too, actually, but as main evil guy, he didn't really fit the bill. If you ask me, it was more like the Redemption of Revan, or the Return of Revan.

Light, or Dark. There is no grey.
I suppose that since Force users are divided primarily between two varieties, namely light and dark, you won't have much of a choice. You as a player may be given a wide variety of possible choices you can make, including neutral ones, but eventually we will come to that point in the game where a side must be taken.
Take Oderon for example, you have all three choices as a player. However, the ultiimate decisoin is, will you join the Light or embrace the Dark? It's difficult to have a proper ending when you character doesn't believe in anything except in believing in nothing.
Agreed. Ultimately, people like Jolee were not definitely grey as he claims to be.

There really is no grey. When I was at about the same point as Jolee Bastila told me how I gave into my baser instincts, or some crap like that and Carth told me that he has seen my cruelty. Even though I was grey they saw something else. But like Nartwak said, there are sides in the SW universe. Even if you are not Imperial bad or Rebellion good you are lackey for Jabba.Because of the nature of the force, grey would be impossible in the Star Wars universe. That's the whole idea of Star Wars, Anakin was "grey" but the darkside was too powerful and he became a Dark Jedi. That's the very premise of Star Wars, if you have grey characters walking around it kind of defeats everything that was shown on screen.
Agreed. The Light and Dark. Life and Death. Happiness and anger. Peace and chaos. There isn't anything in between. It is possible, but eventually you will come to crossroads... you will have a choice. You can be neutral, but not for long. The only thing that is neutral is the Force.

Can we be a Rogue Dark Jedi, again? I don't think it's actually a very appealling option, but It's a curiosity.
-
Follow the story is my pick, although the Sith Lord is would have been my second option.
-
It may even be possible that Sion and this masked Sith are rivals for the title of undisputed Dark Lord after the fall of Malak.
Correctoin: after the fall of Malak AND disappearance of Revan.
-
Eh. To each, to their own. I always thought that it was fine to not be exactly follow the Star Wars completely, as long as it doesn't contradict.

Orthodox calendar? - This was a rhetoric joke of a Lucasarts spokesman. They took 'winter' avoiding to get concrete...
Astronomically winter spans from mid-december till mid-march (for the northern hemisphere)
but it also says winte 04 which means winter during this year
You don't get my point. My point is, they were being ambigous. They said that they aren't going to release it this year. They just said Winter 2004 to make it ambigous.
when did they say they werent gonna releas it this year? i know they used to have feb. 2005 but since then when have they SAID it was next year?
.... Take a look at the Gamespot post I just did above. I don't want to repeat myself. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just saying you are not right, or not exactly right, anyway.

The things is, you are the believed to be the last known jedi. That leaves room for a lot of things.
If that sounds ridiculous, think about this:
Sith are notoriously agressive and impatient. If they can't find them or know about them, they move on.
Certain Jedi may have left the Order before the Sith attacked; that means there will be certain stragglers left.
Other force capable users may not have joined the Order, but are neiter with the Sith.
Wit hthose factors combined, that means the Sith can miss anyone that is in hiding, left already, or wasn't in the Order to begin with.
Nevertheless I am curious how they made up the story (hoping the best).
We shall see.

You're just sore that your stupid idea to make KOTOR II online pazzak didn't get used.
Of course, if the developers had used any of your ideas, I think the rest of us would be making an "OFFICIAL Petition" to boycot the game.
That's somewhat harsh. BTW, what were his ideas?

I didn't like Juhani because of character, rather, it was her fighting skills.

I think KOTOR II will be here by Christmas (Dec. 25). I don't think the Lucas Arts site would change it form "Feb. 2005" to "Winter" if they didn't plan on pushing it up to Christmas.
Lucas and his company are building up to the release of Ep. III next year. It kicks off with Battlefront and the OT on DVD this Sept. They then have to more cards to play - KOTOR II and Republic Commando. They want at least one in the Christmas rush. Commando has more to do with Ep. III, so I think it will be the one released next year. They need KOTOR II in Dec. to keep interest. Besides, I think KOTOR II would get more sales that Commando in a Christmas full of many high profile games.
They didn't change the date. They simply made it more ambigous. Instead of saying definitely "Feb 2005", they said "Winter 2004". "Winter 2004" can include up to "Feb 2005."
no it cant its 04. i know its the same winter but 04 means this year :angry:
Oh, yes, they can. I've seen many publishers do this.
BTW I got this from game spot
When the latest trailer for the role-playing game hit the Web on Wednesday, it riled up the already easily excitable fans of the first KOTOR. Besides revealing that members of your party will follow you as you turn to the dark or light side of the Force, the trailer also promised that the game will arrive in "winter 2004"--two months earlier than its previously announced ship date. However, a phone call to LucasArts revealed that the publisher may be using some variant of the Orthodox Christian Calendar, which celebrates Christmas on January 19. "Winter 2004 extends to February 2005," said a rep, meaning that there's still a chance Obsidian Entertainment's first game won't make its debut until next year.

Umm... No. At this stage of the development, I doubt they could, would, and should, make any additions. Improvements are another story, though.
-
No thats not what I ment, I was thinking of using the feats and new powers in the old game as well...
You mean, make KOTOR based on the new engine with the new stuff? Possible, but unlikely.

True. But Yuthura Ban was shortsighted into believing that you might not betray her.
Agreed. For one thing, Malak failed to kill Revan in the first place. Malak hasn't proven anything.
I would also want to point out, if you go to Korriban last, you can tell you Uthar that you are Revan if you side with him.
