I already know what the announcement is. I also have proof.

Most of the bugs listed can be easily fixed. I did notice the above four bugs, which suround the HK-Factory levels. Wouldn't those have been fixed early in the process and development. Your 'major' bug issue seems like a big 'block' in this project's completion. I don't call that a bug. I call that a 'major' problem. Combined with the other three issues, you would think these should have been solved years ago. I was thinking within the first year of production. Why have they slowed things down?

I was going to say. If I remember correctly, you are one of Knights 2's bigger fans.

Knights 2 is inferior without the cut content? Do others feel the same?

Ahh... I have more chances of winning the lottery. I just wanted to keep the steady tone in replies going. Its here! Its here! Do you see it? Does anyone else see it? I'm in deep denial.

It feels like having your head stuck in a banister. Like this.

Good to hear. Happy playing!

What operating system are you using?

After pulling everyone off subject, I will now bring us back to the thread's purpose. Mantis Bugs Apperently there are three people working on the technical aspects of this project. Tupac Amaru, JdNoa, and Dashus. Searching through the team's forums provided some possible insight. Beta Team Forums Under the thread called Miltiades' Impressions, the project has stalled due to Dashus' life based responsibilities. I guess its all about finding time to do some modding, so this could take an indefinite amount of time to finish. Life is life, and you cannot get around that. Hopefully life didn't get too complicated to the point where he just had to walk away.

BioWare: The Wait is Over - KotOR III is Here? GameSpy Was Invited to BioWare - Look at the Invitation IGN Reports: KOTOR MMO Announcement Coming? Gamasutra: Invitation Is this - Knights of the Old Republic III or - Star Wars Gallaxeies - The Old Republic?

This is why people may not worry about a team-gizka: The Wait is Over. And so, the infamouse KotOR III may be here.

Knights 2 was a pretty good game, but that is based upon my biased opinion. When it comes down to measuring Knights 1 to Mask of Betrayal, even KotOR 2 for that matter, I don't find myself yawning by the time I hit the end of the game. Knights 1 has to be the most entertaining, chiche' based, game I have ever played in a long time.

Of course. If I wasn't part of the Beta, I'd probably react the same way, but since I am a Beta tester, I know for a fact they have other things on their mind right now. And Lithuanian Hitmen? Should I be scared now? So, you are one of them. The Imperial Senate will not support such truths. We have to take care of those Lithuanian Hitmen and the Codex invasion fleet.

Lithuanian Hitmen? What?!Someone has been smoking some harsh stuff. At this point in the gaming cycle, BioWare maybe getting ready to release some MMORPG news. According to several online articles, BioWare may be releasing news within 30 days. Some have speculated that it is the anticipated Knights 3 game. Excitement has been building up for some time. BioWare's possible announcement could very well overshadow or diminish the remaining interest in team-gizka. Any type of news on the next chapter could make team-gizka a distant memory. Just my two cents. Several people who I have talked to are ready to move forward. Maybe that is a good idea.

NEW and REAL: Duke Nukem Screen-Shots Duke Nukem 4 Ever: Screen-Shots With a slight tear to my eye, I'm pleased to share with you all a... Who am I kidding! Hail to the king baby! The screenshots for Duke Nukem 4 Ever are here. (Scroll down on the linked page.)

Just to be clear, the leaked beta had nothing to do with the progress made in the summer. They just had more free time then. Believe me or not, but it's true. Keep in mind that the W.I.P. numbers had stalled. I was refering to something the public could measure. Whatever goes on behind closed doors cannot be seen by outsiders. Internal activity may have gone on, but external evidence has stalled. Once the leak was revealed, team-gizka worked frantically to make visual progress. Now, the W.I.P. page has stalled again. Don't take what I'm saying as being negative. Its only an observation of progress that is measured from reading the W.I.P. page.

Looking at the website's progess report, from an outsider's perspective, the project looks as though its dead in the water. Up until someone leaked a version of the mod, the project didn't show any visual signs of movement. I guess we are back to stage one again where the progress reports have stalled. We will just have to hang in there. Maybe someone will give us some physical indiciation that everything is moving well. Hang in there.

She retired from team-gizka two years ago?! Did others retire from this project? I did notice the unchanged magic number 5. Has the group stalled?

Uh, no, Someone didn't. Check the "Team" section of Team-Gizka.org, and you'll see Aurora at the top of the page. I completely missed the link.

Someone updated the developer's page at Team-Gizka.org. Aurora Jenkins and others are no longer listed. Everyone has probally done their part, or they are working quiety behind the scenes. Don't worry. She will be listed in the credits.

Agreed. The changes are excellent, and make replaying well worth it. Its all about the individual, right? I'm sure eventually I will install and play it, but just not in the immediate future. It may take me a few years. I really can't tell. Its all about a person's mood. One day I feel like I can do a few rounds, but another day I will leave the game on the shelf. I have just seen so much more to the Knights' universe that I want to see whats next. Its exciting.

I don't have tsl installed. I want to play these completed modifications myself; however, I'm becoming more interested in other Obsidian games. Neverwinter 2 -- Storm of Zehir Aliens -- The Roleplaying Game The Sith Lords' initial impact has faded for me. Neverwinter 2, Aliens, and The Old Republic have captured my attention. I'm getting too distracted by the idea of playing an Old Republic game. I'm becoming more interested in the future of Knights of the Old Republic. The Sith Lords tells the story of a small portion of this world, and there seems to be a wave of new stuff coming. Novels, roleplaying guides, comics, and another game. Possibly two games in development. We have only heard about the possible online multiplayer game; however, I think there is another installment also in the works. MMORPG will be called something similar to The Old Republic. I'm betting there will be a second game called Knights of the Old Republic III. Team-Gizka is doing a great job, but I think there are other interesting elements in the Knights of the Old Republic universe. My attention has been moving forward. The Sith Lords is becoming something of the past. I knew The Sith Lords was over for me when I played Neverwinter's Mask of Betrayal. I was so caught up with the Neverwinter world, and I ended up saying to myself, "What's The Sith Lords?". I'm eagerly awaiting the second expansion of Neverwinter. Others will no doubt replay tsl when the modifications are done, but I'm pretty much moving forward into other portions of the story. Time for another chapter. Who knows what is going on in other people's minds, but I'm moving forward and deeper into the Knights universe. Staying at the edge of the story prevents people from moving onward. After I read the new roleplaying guide for Knights of the Old Republic, I started to see a different interpretation of events. Team-Gizka will only be adding a small portion compared to the whole story. Some of the stuff that was initially cut has been written over, and the Dark Wars have been completley fleshed out. Restoring the missing pieces is a great idea, and I'm still a supporter of the effort. My only quam is that the story behind some of the cut pieces have allready been rewritten. Someone over at LucasForums.com has suggested to buy Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide . I ended up reading through it, and I realized that someone had allready fleshed out the missing pieces. I allready know the whole story between Knights 1 and Knights 2. The HK Factory and The Exile only hold a small footnote to the events that occur in the Knights universe. Canonized by this book: The Jedi Exile (Female - Jedi) Revan (Male - Sith/Jedi) I think there may be a love story hidden between the Exile and Revan. Not only was the Exile a general of Revan's, but I also see a posssible love connection. (Similar to Jolee's friend's story on Mannan, or Handmaiden's parent's backstory.). That may be the reason why the Exile and Revan didn't officially connect to anyone. There is a massive story to be told. Waiting for this small footnote to be done will only hold me back. The Restoration Team have my support, but the story has allready started to move forward. Time for me to flip the page.

I hope they fix the bass on the new Jedi female in Khoonda. Her voice sounds as though she is speaking through a can or something. It just needs a bass tweak.

Darth (Unknown Female Sith) <---- The Jedi Exile (She is canonized as Jedi) After Darth Bane put: Darth Zannah edit-- Someone beat me to it.

Let them come to you. Don't go to them. Possibiliy. I don't think anyone could answer that question except team-gizka. Controversy is also a positive way to get attention. The more people drop a line in this thread, good or bad, the more team-gizka remains in the public's line of sight. I would just wait until something is said. Making assumptions on something we don't know about can only create friction and arguments in the forums. Relax and let things roll. Vader stated, "He will come to me?" Palpatine replied, "Yes. Yes. He will come to you, and you will bring him before me..." Palpatine had the right idea. Patience will bring the answer to you quickly. Worrying about team-gizka's project will only prolong the suffering. I'm sure they will comment on the project at some point in time. Hang tight.
