  1. It has been said that your character has to 'forge a future for himself and the galaxy'. Since you are not really affiliated with the jedi and are being hunted by sith at the start, it probably won't matter whose side you're on as you will do the same things ie escape from sith hunting you.

     

    But hopefully you will soon be able to decide whether you want to rebuild the jedi or kill the last of them. It sound like you can choose you light/dark preferences earlier than in KOTOR.

    Hunt? I don't think that's exactly correct. They are certainly looking for you, but hunting makes it sound like they are trying to kill you first. Which the trailer implies they are more than willing to let you join.

  2. Affect Mind/Force Persuade is only supposed to work on the weak minded. People forget that all the time.

     

    Hutts and Toydarians are also supposed to be immune to it. Using Affect Mind on a stormtrooper is very different from using it on a fellow Jedi.

    Agreed. And that's why I don't just want a pure "force persuade". It seems more like a mind takerover. With a combination between a natural "oersuade" and "force persuade", the force will much more a nudge than anything else.

  3. I'm not betting on it. But if it does, this one of the few times I know when a game actually gets released earlier than usual, without actual immense from the publisher to do so. I'm pretty sure both Obsidian Entertainment and LucasArts are more than willing to release this game, but I bet they are much more willing to hold back if they feel that they can't make it. Either way, I think it's still officiall February 2005, but it's up in the air.

  4. Aren't there sith prestige classes already disclosed?  lol...

    are you talking about the ability to join the sith?

     

    If so we were talking about not just picking a presstige class but truely joining the sith (i.e. becoming a DS apprentice or something like that). Or being able to sway other sith to follow you even if they don't join your party or affect the game play but having them swear their loyalty to you and only you. ^_^

     

    In the first game you could become a Dark Sider but other than Uthar you couldn't get anyone else you swear loyalty to you (but only after you found out that you were Revan). As a lightsider you could get many people to change their ways which always kinda felt one sided to me atleast.

    A side note: It costs nothing for Uthar to swear loyalty to you. In fact, it saves his own skin, AND he gains a powerful ally.

     

    On a related note to Uthar: You can convince Yuthura Ban and Kel Algwin, and maybe Mekel (Not sure on this one), to return to the light. You can see them (yet again, not sure of Mekel) at the Jedi Academy at Dantooine.

  5. You can also download a copy of the trailer at 3DGamers.com starwarskid15_19.

     

    Also: They could have used the indefinite pronoun 'they' instead of 'he'. Hey, I know, let's get a big bug up our collective asses about this.

    That would work, except another problem would occur. They implies more than one person. And yet again, they believe you are the last jedi, not you all are the last jedi. Since I think they are going for singular, this wouldn't work. They could have used "this/that" person or maybe "who", but it would be unusually formal.

  6. The release date isn't misleading, as much as it is ambigous. They have to do it this way, to give them some space for testing. If they are done wit the game, I will have no doubt that they are going to release this year. However, they are extending to February 2005 for some space, just in case they make it. (Which is actually quite smart). And by not sticking to a specific date, they can do this at their own leisure.

  7. Oh God I hated Bastila. First impressions are very important, and the first things out of her mouth after that swoop race made me want to kill her right then. What makes me even madder is that the game naturally forces you to become closer to Bastila and farther from Carth, who I wanted to be my buddy.

     

    Everything about Bastila bothered me. Her attitude was terrible, she thought she was the best, because she was a special Jedi, but she had the worst frame of mind of any Jedi I've ever dreamed of, and she sucked in battle. She fell to the Dark Side of the Force (Yeah, some Jedi she is "I will never fall to the Dark Side" my ass), and even when she was evil, embracing the dark side, fueled by hatred and the Star Forge itself, it took all of 5 seconds to whoop her b**chy little behind.

     

    In short, I don't like Bastila, I never have, and I'm not exactly itching to see her in KOTOR II, but my feelings aside, it would be very difficult to say how she would appear. Not as party memeber for sure, but in her cameo, if there is one, there's a lot to explain, because there are too many significant possibilities. Either light side, and in love with Revan, dark side as revan's apprentice, or dead. It will have a lot to do with what you say happened to Revan, I think.

    That was the whole point of her character. She was supposed to be (using Canderous' comment) a Jedi princess.

     

    In that respect, I thought she was a great character, because I completely went for the whole stuck up/do what i say/i can't do wrong attitude. It was sort of like Princess Leia when she was first rescued. She didn't exactly thank Han and Luke, and started giving orders.

    Oh my god, that brings back memories. This is OT, but I wish I get transcripts of conversations between Canderous and Bastila, and Canderous and Carth. I just find them so funny.

  8. Even besides the impracticality, it's a messed up idea. Laser whips exist in SW, but light whips? I mean, you can't caller them lightsaber whips as they have nothign to do with a saber...

    That's why I just want a good ole' regular whip. But I do see your point.

  9. now here is a question for you to think about, why is it that in the trailer about 28 seconds into it, that the PC walks away from the manadlorians calmly???? I would think being that close to mandalorians either you would attack them or they would attack you. unless some new peace loving mandalorians have taken power since the last game.

    Maybe their agenda just doesn't include attacking you. Canderous teamed up with you on Taris, not all Madalorians live out their lives as mindless killing machines.

    Maybe a side-quest?

    I like Canderous, but the correction is not all Mandalorians like to be brainless killing machines.

  10. My opinion

     

    Saberwhips are bad. Not because I don't like the idea. I like it. However a lightsaber has always similar to the sword, and whip is different the sword. Techically, If I remember, lightsabers don't have wait in the "light" part, so a saber is just like swingin' through thin air. Not as fun as it sounds, because using a whip is VERY weight control of the whip. What I mean is, an easy to judge your own whip to your own use. No weight, hard to control (Actually, all weapons are weight controlled, but whips, because of their nature, are more dependent).

     

    I feel lightsabers, especially singble bladed ones, with normal length, are lightsabers for knights.

     

    I don't hate short, or double lightsabers, however. They are for people are looking for an "advantage" but it differentiates that the fact they are not a "knight". (Like Darth Maul. But he didn't need to be a Knight be kick ass, anyway).

     

    Now that I think about it, I just want a whip. Not a saberwhip, but just a whip.

  11. I would like to see persuade/force persuade combinations, because force persuade seems so FORCED sometimes. Forgive the pun.

     

    a Persuade/force persuade would have a much bigger effect. You can persuade, but use a little force here and there. The way it is done in the game, it's more like force dominate mind than force persuade.
