Designed, born, semantics. "dictatorship cannot be wonderful. absolute power really does corrupt absolutely." We'll never know, will we? Maybe if we had a dictator who wouldn't know he had power, but then again, maybe not.

Ha, I have cleverly eluded my would-be issuists!

It depends, are you buying or selling?

I'm really not into communism, but I don't really think that capitalism is the answer. They both, in my mind, won't really work like the people who designed them wanted them to. The concept of the system might be perfect, I don't know, maybe it is, but when built, it's going to be lacking in someplace or another, because the materials, us, are flawed. After all, even dictatorship would be just plain wonderful if we just found the right dictator. Designing alternatives for existing systems is fun, but unfortunately (or not) it's quite hard to make one reality and see how it operates in practice.

I thought you guys still had a very functioning mercenary army and you're in no trouble paying them, so this 'enlistment' stuff seems a bit wonkers. edit: And screw you pussies, we Finns have to go to the Army (or civil service, but it's not a very smart move to do doubletime just because of ethics or whatnot)!

"I have issues with people who don't have issues." I have issues, have I ever claimed otherwise? Didn't think so!

I don't.

I really hope KotOR II won't have any more of these "like Death Star, but BIGGER!" machines. It's getting awfully ridiculous.

You guys have issues.

"I'm not an idealist: our flawed democracy is the 'best worst' system. But where would you rather live? Iran? Russia? China?" Finland. Oh, wait, I already do. Go small governments!

How 'bout we agree that the jedis' take on life is pretty screwed up and Lucas is a dumbass?

So, a game with 20 hours of content will be better if the same content is spread over 40 hours?

Rainbow.

That rule was strictly for Anakin because he was an immature dumbass. Nobody wanted to see more little Anakins, despite their awesome force potential, since they'd probably be immature dumbasses, too. And 'lo and behold, they were.

"Well, one day you will grow up too... hopefully" Oh, yah, but it's still a crappy movie.

"Thats like 'song from the second floor'..." Which is, like, a really crappy movie.

"ASK's big post" I couldn't have said it better myself. Or maybe I could have, but yours is good enough.

Okay.

"can they not get it from the first one?" They got the code for X-box first. They got the code for PC later. They have both right now. "im sorry but it defeats the purpose, if they do finish the game the same time, why release it later?" I don't know, ask LucasArts?

"why can they not finish it the same date as xbox? do they have less people workin on the pc version?" Well, for one thing, they got the code for X-box KotOR before the code for PC, so they could start working on the X-box KotOR II earlier. Of course, there's no guarantees that just because both versions are ready at the same time they get released the same time. Why is that? Mystary! edit: People, if you're so worried about getting spoiled by the X-boxers, don't come here before you get KotOR yourself. That's not such a big loss, is it?

"I have started a petition on the LA website and i feel that Obsidian is just as much at fault as they are." The publisher picks the release date, not the dev, so how can it be Ob's fault?

"A delay is a delay is a delay." Sure it is, but the PC version isn't really delayed, the X-box one is just coming out sooner that it was supposed to. "Shoddy treatment of customers, lies and deception coupled with a second-rate product normally equals a loss of business for any other company." Shouldn't you actually wait for the product to come out before calling it second-rate? Just a thought.

It's "love of money", not "love of all those nice things you can get with money".

"If you think we know everything there is to know about this your arguement stands." Dude, no one here has argued that. Instead, it has been argued that the "46 + 2" theory is crap, and you're full of it. Both claims have been backed up quite well.
