Oh there was something rather important that I forgot to state in my last post...... The gamette of emotions: :D :D :D :joy: :joy: :joy:

Dear Lord, than you for these gifts that we are about to recieve :D How come I wasn't informed of this earlier?!?!?! My sources are going to pay for keeping me out of the loop :D Hey, the devil and god in the same post, that's religerific! :crazy:

LOL you missed it for sure MJC, its a joke, yas know, ha ha heh heh, funny. /shrug, I guess its lost on some folks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, I get that the whole stereotyping the crazies thing was a joke. I meant YOUR rant before that. I get jokes. Jokes funny. tee hee. tee hee. tee hee. etc

To your second question I agree with Purgatorio. In fact I bought my 360 in hopefull anticipation (however foolish) of a third addition to the KOTOR series. That and the new tenchu :D

For the sake just of the original KOTOR games, just go with the Xbox. Alot of original Xbox games don't do too well on the Xbox360. They haven't really gotten all of the kinks out of emulation yet. Go to I think it's the official xbox forums and you'll see some of the problems people have been having. It isn't nearly as bad for me when I play the KOTORS on 360 but there are still occasional background "shrieks" and some laggy spots that you don't experience on the normal xbox.

I don't really play online games so I might be missing something here. If these people aggravate you so much, why don't you just stop visiting the forum/reading the posts?

The workbench uses the skill stats of whichever character you are controlling when you approach the workbench. I've never had any trouble whatsoever gaining influence with Kreia, and I just about always play as a light side jedi. Just use your common sense when talking to her. When she says something bad about another character, and you can either gain DS points or lose influence just change the subject or leave. Most of the time you gain influence just by placating her when she disagrees with something you did. It isn't necessary to do exactly what she says, just choose the dialogue that indicates you've considered her opinion (most of the time anyway). Whenever there is a party discussion or decision being made, always ask her opinion and if it doesn't gain you DS points or seem idiotic, just agree with what she says over the party members who are easier to gain influence with. Also sucking up to her heaps even if your a smart arse to other characters, sugary crap like "I will honour your teachings" etc. Only once or twice does that get you into trouble with her. (I think something about you protecting, or saying something about her teaching you gets her gets her to tell you to stop patronizing her near the start on the hawk). Also a lot of the jedi dialogue lines about the code etc seem to p*ss her off so try to avoid those when you can. I never even really take her in my party except when it is absolutely necessary and I still get all the info she had to offer.

What he said. I'm pretty certain that Vrook tells you.

Yes. It would. It would also ruin the small semblance of cohesiveness I was able to ring out of my brain that day. :D

Like I said. Superficial at best. Might as well say "Soresu is like Armour, it's very defensive." Aikido is a HAND TO HAND martial art which was based mainly on kenjutsu. Now, I know what your going to say... "But you fool! Kenjutsu IS sword art!" Yes, Kenjustsu is a sword art, but no samurai would ever use a katana in the way that lightsabers are wielded. That kind of blade on blade contact would be regarded as all but sacrilegious. Kenjutsu (which you already related to Juyo and Jar Kai) is incomparable to any lightsaber styles, because the basic principle of deflecting a blade with the edge of your own blade is inherently impractical when using steel blades as opposed to cylindrical blades of pure energy. These arts focus on avoiding attacks and drawing enemies in so that blade to blade contact is avoided (perhaps some philosophical parallels could be drawn between this and Makashi). Although blade to blade contact may be used when practicing these kenjutsu, but such actions are considered as last resort moves for blocking an opponents blade. Your statement of Jar'Kai being simlar to Niten Ichi Ryu Kenjutsu and Escsima holds as little gravity. Firstly, Jar'Kai uses one saber in defense and one saber to attack. This is not neccessarily the case in Escrima. Further, Escrima is adapted for the use of many weapons. Kenjutsu is still incomparable due to the former reasons. Juyo.. Again there's nothing apart from your whole "agression" thing to indicate any similarities whatsoever. One is a sword art whereby blade to blade contact is discouraged, one is a form of Kung Fu which tends to use the flow of attacks to create counter attcks rather than blocking (e.g. parry-punch) and is also primarily a Hand to hand art, and the last is a form of sabre combat which seeks to batter an opponants defences with continuous full strength and full contact saber strikes and slashes. I'm getting tired of all this typing so I might leave it there until your rebuttal, but I'll just add quickly that European swordsmanship similarly discourages edge to edge contact during battle.

Those first two comparisons I'd tend to agree are slightly similar.... sort of. The other comparisons are really only superficial at best.

I don't know whether you're asking a question, making a statement or both. Darth Maul mastered the juyo form of saber combat as well as its double bladed variant. What beats Ataru? How about a dozen guys with blasters? I'd say that both Makashi and Vaapad forms would have an inherent advantage against Ataru.

No he didn't. He used Ataru, the same style as yoda. He was also regarded as one of the finest swordsmen in the order. He was most probably only defeated by maul because ataru's acrobatic attack and evasion techniques would be all but impossible to employ in the confined space of the core.

I got infinite lightside points from a dialogue option with Kreia one of the times I played through but I haven't been able to get it to work in any subsequent games. I think it has something to do with how much influence you have with her at that point.

Nope

:D :D :D Nice.

4 Gigs of RAM?!?!?!! overkill.

About 6 times only. Played Kotor 1 at least 20 though. In fact I'm replaying it again now.

WTF?!?!?! Tell that stuff to my old highschool chemistry teacher. See the response you get.

Nope. Same thing happened to me once. Come to think of it, the whole game that time was glitchy. (Nar Shadaar dockmaster missions) (Telos restoration - new fuel source etc). But, if your really want it out, just do what bogj said and lie about it. I don't think you get DS points for it, but don't quote me on that.

That Revan and Malak strip.... HILARIOUS.

Did you talk to the mandalorian? Xarga I think was his name. He asks if you're ready to go.

Great news. Took their time. You're sure though, that they aren't going to release it in 10 minute intervals of footage monthly, for the next 5 years or so? :D

Someone really needs to arrest the guy who made that bloody hoax. The thing's been circulating the net for at least a year now, and people are still bringing it up. In any case, if you read the "article" you'll see that just about all of the information provided is blatantly erroneous, and not in any way plausible for the third addition to the KOTOR series. A Mod should close this thread so that like the hundred or so others spawned from this hoax makers bull***t it doesn't waste anyones time. I'm not attacking you KOTORFanactic, just the tool who fabricated the press release.
