Why is Jolee your favorite?

Will T3 chime in?

For those who have read Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, Bale (from the photo linked above) does resemble David Mazzucchelli's rendition of Bruce Wayne. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch. I think they did a good job with the casting of the other roles too. I'm cautious but very optimistic about this film.

Are you kidding me?? The Mr. Furious "rage" was bada$$

I'm a fan of Dr. Hatori myself.

I wasn't all that impressed by the trailer. But as Gromnir said, it looked like KotOR. I like KotOR.

It does look like more of the same. I'd still buy it.

Why does this topic need to die? If you were referring to the off-topicness that this thread meandered off to, you should look at your last few posts. ...I don't like prestige classes.

Gromnir is a gadfly. And a master at that. His posts makes certain boards more lively. Funny stuff. On Topic: I don't really see a need to add prestige classes. Although Obsidian probably needs to add them to give the game a more seemingly "epic" feel to it.

Sports Night and in second place by a large margin: Firefly

The early Jack Ryan novel adaptations should be set in the Cold War setting as when they were originally written. Same goes for the Bourne Identity.

Asimov's dialogues were rather quaint but his plots were airtight. There are no loose ends in his stories. I agree that Clarke is a very intelligent writer whose prose was clumsy. Within the Science Fiction genre, I'd say that Philip K. D-I-C-K was the best novelist. My favorites: Asimov, PK D I C K, Robert Heinlein, Ellison, Alfred Bester.

Ok. You're right. I remember him letting her go and she ended up killing Jedi. But I thought he caught up with her again and then killed her. My bad.

really? hmmm. are you sure? I thought he did.

jolee killed her.

Thank you Volourn. I happen to be a person of color living in California and although we do have our problems, the people here are more tolerent of other ethnicities/cultures than other more homogoneous places. Feeling a little patriotic today...

Since Asimov? Since Asimov's generation? Since his birth? passing? or as in...best after Asimov? Well...there are plenty of good SF (not sci-fi --urgggh) writers in his generation: Arthur C. Clarke, Alfred I'm a aware of his--Ray Bradbury--work Bester (simpson's reference), Robert Heinlein, and Poul Anderson Post Asimov Generation: Harlan Ellison, Philip K. ****, Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, Roger Zelazny, Philip Jose Farmer, Michael Crichton, Michael Moor****, and Card. Within the Post Asimov generation, I'd rate Card well behind Ellison, P.K. ****, and Herbert and in the same pack as the rest on that list.

The lightside ending was perfect. Especially for a Star Wars game.

Joining in the fun; here's something more holistic: http://www.theforce.net/timeline/

Yuthara Ban is one of the best written npc's of the last few years. I wouldn't mind seeing here in any form for the sequel. But perhaps it is best to keep her from being joinable -so as to keep her redemption in tact. (assuming she was redeemed)

I accept opposing viewpoints just fine. Just look at the political threads in OT, or don't, I don't care. Anyways I thought I came across as a pragmatist there... However I don't see where you two are going with this... Look, I am being civil. Heck, I even threw out an olive brance --a link that self-deprecates our "geekiness"...(but if you took it the wrong way...either I'm a bad writer, or you need to lighten up, have a thicker skin, or a combination of) If I'm reading you right, then you like Exar Kun. That's fine. More power to you. I think he's a great UBG (ultimate bad guy). You think he's the most badass sith who's ever lived. That's great. He could be. You think he's a great tragic figure. That's where I disagree with you. The Exar Kun characterization is really not all that complex -as compared to say...Ulic Qel-Droma. From his introduction in Dark Lords of the Sith, we see just how nasty a person he was. He disrepects, outright lies, and disobeys his master. He has feelings of utter contempt for his fellow jedi trainees -even shouting racial slurs over their alien inferiority. And no, he was not "tricked" into abandoning the jedi ways by Freedon Nadd and the other sith spirits. He was well into the path of the darkside. His trying to access the lightside during his conversion was the way he had been trained to use the Force. That was Exar Kun in denial. He may not have consciously wanted to be a darksider -but that was the path he was treading. Master Arca on Ossus immediately sensed that when they met. Whatever the case, Exar Kun ultimately had a choice: embrace the darkside and become power incarnate or keep whatever jedi principles he had left and die a jedi (nomatter how flawed a jedi). Look, in order to be considered a great tragic figure -there has to be some sort of redeemable quality in him. Earlier in this thread there was talk of of the great Shakespearian tragic figures: MacBeth, Ceaser etc., they were all sympathic figures who were considered heroes at one point or another. Does Exar Kun fit that mold? Ulic Qel-Droma sure did. Now if I am completely off base in my comprehension of your arguements then tell me why. But going with the "You don't accept other points of view except your own" route is just plain lame. (and no. this is not an attack with any sort of malice in my part) In my previous posts I explained why I liked Ulic. Now let me pose a question to you: What makes you like the Exar Kun character so much? I like him as a fascinating villain. If you already stated that, my apologies, perhaps I need it spelled out. Humor me. (this question is for DSM, Nur Ab Sal or anyone else)

no worries

it's on the SW general discussion page under the header: New interview July 2nd

It's the same one as before. It's the thought that counts.

If I recall, the in-game bastila was supposed to look like the box bastila, but bioware decided to go with the current bastila look. don't recall if it was due to fan demand though...
