Hopefully this will be wild enough to qualify as a quality first post... Here are my thoughts for the final installment of the KotOR series, rusty as I am on the plots of both games: To this point, we have encountered two entites of "indescribable power." So far as we know, both are still alive and, as the expression goes, kickin'. We all know that in the Star Wars universe, this simply cannot be. A conflict, therefore, is facilitated simply by their very existence. In keeping with the tradition set by the first two, KotOR 3 will introduce us to an entirely new protagonist, who will either be the go-between for the two powers, or could perhaps even be a third candidate in the upcoming primaries, so to speak. This game will push our undestanding of "Dark Side" and "Light Side" to their furthest extremities, inviting us to question, as Camus, the nature of Good and Evil. Neither Revan nor the Exile will be pinned to a particular cosmic allegiance (given the choice presented to the player in 1 & 2), and a war will be waged in psychological space, rather than physical. It would be EXTREMELY COOL if the party system were flexible - to the point that people NPCs could voluntarily leave your party and join with one of the other two "leaders," based on in-game decisions. I'm no video game developer, but I imagine this wouldn't be terribly difficult to integrate, though goodness knows I've been wrong before. Of course the physical aspect will still be very much present, it simply wouldn't be KotOR without the crazy battles, repetetive though they could at times be. I don't have too many thoughts regarding locales, but I rank among the proponents of introducing new systems to the Star Wars Universe, or touching on the existing ones that have gotten little press thus far (books, comics, games etc.) in the Star Wars universe's ridiculously young life. (What, thirty or so years now?) I apologize if any of this is redundant material, I haven't bothered to read through the twenty previous threads on this exact topic, though I imagine there is a lot of "more hoods up!" and not so much earnest speculation. Call me a cynic. From what I understand, KotOR 3 is currently homeless? Nothing agasint Obsidian, but I hope dearly that BioWare will consider resuming work on this series for the final game, unlikely as that seems, I really love everything they've done. Maybe if we all focus our energies at the same time, we can channel the powers of Revan and the Exile to convince someone that this game needs to be made, and soon. Or something. Maybe we can just keep speculating, and someone inportant will chance to see 600,000 threads on potential KotOR 3 content. Keep it coming! iBVc P.S. If you are that "important someone" that happens to read this, please hire me on the the writing team for the game, I don't want my BA in creative writing to wither away to nothing. I won't disappoint!
