Okay, that was funny.

That is also if you can follow it. You can easily get lost.

Anyone can take down a Jedi/Sith. All you need is two snipers from opposing directions using High Explosive rounds from a well made sniper rifle. Even if he blokes the first shot it will explode to cause fiery damage and shock the force user, allowing the second shot to hit its mark. In a Star Wars RPG a friend and I killed many Force users that way.

It is a very open ended well detailed world. It is also quite empty and the NPCs are like card board cutouts. If you are bored and need something to play you can do worse, like Might and Magic 9. Also it does have a good size modding community. You can get the Game of the Year Edition, which has both expansions, for about $30 to 40 USD now so it might be worth the buy to you. Of course if you tend to like being spoon fed then it is not the game for you. It is basically the bipolar opposite of KotOR.

Only the important characters should have voice. To give voice to everyone is annoying and a waste of resources.

I just hope they don't over do it like the first one. Not every bugger on the damn street should have a voice when text works just fine.

You have a Jedi as your back up. After all only the Jedi characters are worth having in the party.

PS:T major fault was forcing the player to play the Developer's character. It was the game's major fault and why it is down a notch in my favorite games of all time.

In my games I try to have a good mix of action and story telling.

I read the article. Its nothing new nor all that long.

Congratulations! You're up to 1195 useless posts now! Seriously, just shut up already. You've stated 1195 times that you dislike what you see about KOTOR2 and that you dislike the Jedi character. If you'd like, I'll do a google search and find you a message board for a game that doesn't have Jedi in it. Yes, but will it have the Obsidian crew making it?

yeah, so?

Hades, you wouldn't by chance happen to be a subscriber to this magazine? Just calling it as it is and nothing else.

Wh should they? Its all about the Force, Knights, and Light sabers in Star Wars.

There is a difference between being force sensitive and being a force user. You are forced to be a Force User and have no real choice how your character is made. You are basically playing the developers' character and not your own.

The game is about force users and all non-force users will be worthless to have in the party. Just likethe original game.

Well, I am wrapping up my d20 Modern campaign next week then I am going to be a player for a while. The next campaign that the group will be handling is a Diamond Throne/Arcana Unearthed Variant.

So, a Jedi Knight who survived the Mandalorian wars is going to be a 1st level character. Not bloody likely.

The more I learn about this game the more stupid it sounds.

You just don't get it do you Iolo. Yes, you past is somewhat dictated to you. Sort of real life that who you were raise by is dictated to you, but once you get to a certain age, its your life. That is where the Player comes in for his character. Sure a small bit of the past is dictated but what one does with it is what matters. Writers who depend on Amnesia to tell a story are just weak.

Yes, there might be more charcters to choose from but only the force users will be worth having in the party. Remember this gme is called Knights of the Old Republic not Thieves of the Old Republic. Its all about the Force and nothing else.

Or we could just be playing a newbie character. IT WORKED FOR BALDUR'S FREAKING GATE AND FALLOUT! Sheesh.

Don't tell me, tell the freaking developers. I want to play a thief but no I have to play a damn force user. I hate freaking force users. As for NPCs they are minor and overall insignificant Even Mission wasn't allowed to be a freaking theif because that would have detract fromthe actions of the Force User PC. If its Star Wars its all about the Force. Damn Bastards.

I tend to kill off whiners in the game. Fastest PC kill for a new campaign was 47 minutes using 2e ADnD and homebreew setting.

Because the focus of Star Wars is the Force therefore the players must play force users and not theives. Damn bastards.
