I was thinking and reading about lightsaber crystals, I'd like to see black in KOTOR III... How about the rest of you?

Exploitation, like morality, is subject to your reality and point of view. Living Sithism, I find people are tools to be used and discarded personally, need I say more about games? I'll take advantage of any edge someone else overlooks, thank you...

Point and game! Excellent summary and even greater points... I do so enjoy reading your posts Mac. I may be wrong about this but when Jolee Bindo tells us that he fought the Sith in his younger days, wasn't he reffering to the Hyperspace Wars and Exar Kun? At least that is what I had always surmised. If so, then it has not been long since the Sith Empire had yet again been very powerful. But again, perhaps I misinterpreted it as well... I totally agree about Kreia. She lied even to herself so wshe could very well lie to the exile, in turn. She tells the exile that she loved him more than anything and that in the end, there would only be the truth between master and apprentice, but who knows? On another note, since Kreia trained Revan, do you think she would have lied to Revan as well? Perhaps Revan did not ask her to follow him because he had no further use for her or because Revan realized she had manipulated Revan... Only time will tell... A discussion for another time, perhaps... *wry smirk*

First of all, simply being a fallen Jedi or a dark Jedi does not qualify you as Sith. As taught by Darth Tyranus in the Clone Wars animated series. Or else Aurra Sing and countless others would be considered Sith Lords. It is my own belief and opinion that Bastila would qualify, because if you set up KOTOR II with Revan as being dark, you will find Bastila in the room of Uthar Wynn on Korriban saying she's going to follow Revan and look for him. Now, not just any idiot Sith can create a Sith holocron and her place in Korriban appointed by Revan until Revan returned shows the faith Revan placed in her abilities as a Sith. As for the question of which Sith Lord was the most powerful, Tulak Hord had no equal in lightsaber combat as Kreia tells the exile. Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos were both masters of deception, and manipulating their enemies against each other. So is Darth Bane really as great for the rule of two, or is Marka the greater for climbing the way to the top and manipulating hundreds to thousands of followers? Depends on what type of Sith you are asking about, and your point of view. The Sith, like everyone, are each unique and possess different strenghts and weaknesses as well as had very different obstacles to overcome during the time they were in power.

Aribeth was hot, but remarkably short-sighted and gullible for a paladin of all things. Isn't the D & D paladin wise as well as strong? Bastila is hot also but brings a more real personality in being the "stifling preacher" type of Jedi. Her transition made the game all the more rewarding to me when she fell along with me and together we decimated all in our path. Aribeth: 6 Bastila: 10

As Kreia would say yes, but only from a limited point of view, It would be like trying to see the lightsaber combat as if through looking through a keyhole yes?

Well, the only problem with first person in KOTOR is that you will not see the fancy lightsaber dueling and fighting, only what goes on right in front of your face.

Third Person? lol Third person is an objective view that is not first person, or in other words, not what the character would see. As in from behind, elevated and viewed from above, or any view that you can see what surrounds the main character. Sorry to create so much confusion...

3/4 view is what I refer to as the behind or back of the character and slightly raised or elevated. Diablo was called a 3/4 view and it just kind of stuck with me as a reference. Both KOTOR games are behind view rather than first person.

While Oblivion's dumbed down system was better than Morrowind's one it's still utterly average and maybe even weak. I mean, geez. If you want GOOD combat system try out Mount & Blade. It's so much ahead Oblivion's it ain't even funny. Same with Dark Messiah I've heard. I stand corrected, I had utterly wiped the system for Mount & Blade from my mind. Haven't seen Dark Messiah. I am getting bored with the 3/4 combat view of the first two though.

A true RPG combat system IMHO is Oblivion style, but the 3/4 view, not the first person. Not sure if they could do it though, or WOULD.

Obsidian. They have better writers who can write an interesting story and develop the characters pretty good. First of all, I am a fantical Star Wars junkie, that being said I have enjoyed playing most but not yet all of NW nights. I may be biased but the KOTOR series is by far my favorite RPG games of all time. I have played every class, in both genders, in dark and light. I just don't get into DnD fantasy like I do Star Wars. I fear I'll go neurotic before KOTOR III is released as I have anxiously awaited its release for so long. I think the story in the sequel was pretty darn close to as good as the first with the introduction of Kreia, the return of HK-47, and Canderous Ordo as the new Mandalore, T3-M4, and the Sith hologram of Bastila Shan. I feel Obsidian did a fantastic job of tweaking the engine and graphics. I liked T3 in both, but preffered HK most mostly because of his antics. I think it was foolish for Bioware to dump the series but I may not be privy to certain factors that Bioware employees may know. I can tell you all that virtually everyone I know abhors and hates SW: Galaxies and so they have jumped aboard the KOTOR fan base with me. A prequel of the Mandalorian Wars I believe would be a wonderous idea for KOTOR III as the details other than Revan and the Exile are sketchy at best from what Canderous stories tell. Or perhaps following or a returning Revan from the Unknown Regions. However, with the war and conflict of the first two, I think there should be less mass-scale battling, and more emphasis placed upon political intrigue, or the rebuilding of the Jedi Order or Sith Empire in a more enigmatic setting and story. But these are simply my thoughts and suggestions. I will follow this forum closely from now on and than you all for reading my posts. MTFBWY Dark Lord Revan
