Please don't! Western culture is largely an embarrassment. Russia was once quite glorious and had it's own very unique culture. Russia should strive to regain that past, and not adopt western ways. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, my thoughts, exactly. But, sadly, that's what I'm unfortunate to be a witness to these days... I don't think there's a way to turn it back, unless the people realize it for themselves. Yet they don't seem to. *sad sigh*

Как сказать... Вроде и родился и прожил большую часть жизни (и сейчас живу) в России, но что сейчас с ней происходит мне, мягко говоря, не нравится. Мало того что всеми силами пытаются забить свою собственную культуру, так еще и намыливают западную, если это можно вообще назвать культурой. Нельзя обойти молчанием и тот факт что правительство до сих пор считает что это народ существует для него, а не оно для народа. С другой стороны, если попытаться не обращать внимание на все это безобразие, то я рад что родился в России. Я все также влюблен в огрызки оставшейся культуры и клочки незагаженной природы где еще можно насладиться ее красотой... Translation: Hard to say... Even though I was born and lived most of my life (and still live) in Russia, I really don't like what's happenning to it today. Not only are they trying to destroy their own culture, they're trying to push the western one on the people. Not to mention that the government still thinks that it's the people that exist for it, not the government for the people. On the other hand, if to try not to pay attention to all those bad things, I'm glad I was born in Russia. I'm still in love with the leftovers of its culture and bits of not-yet-polluted nature where you can enjoy its beauty...

It has a very good potential for different ways of playing out your character, but, sadly, KotOR's style never gave you that chance. I would very much like to see some stealth-specific quests in TSL, but, unless it's already been implemented, it's very unlikely that we'll see it in the game.

I think devs went waay over the top with this one. Among other things... *cough* I think they need to learn that just dishing out more of what's been already done won't win you the originality award. I. e., let's stop mutilating the bad guys just for the sake of making them look more evil, shall we? And stop putting more sexy chics that are sexier than the sexy chics in the prequel, while you're at it. I mean, what's next, a comatose Sith Lord with a bad bladder and 'Bikini Contest' quests?... *sigh* I guess that's what you get for the commercialized society...

My biggest problem with Pazaak was that it was obligatory to play it if you wanted better (way better) prices from Suvam. Otherwise, I'd never play the game. It cheats so openly, it's ridiculous. Grrr... Just thinking of it makes my blood boil... So, no, thanks. I'd prefer some other means of gaining favour with someone. Err, no, not what you just thought.

I'm fine with the info they've given us already. I'd like TSL to have at least some surprises when I play it. Not only that, but the team also won't waste any more time on making us more videos and screenshots, instead focusing on finishing/polishing TSL. Heh, I guess I just have near unlimited patience. I mean, I'm still waiting for the full extended LoTR trilogy DVD set to be released to watch RotK for the first time...

Define 'manliness'...

I'm looking forward to K2 to finally offer us some role-play value, more than anything. And that means more choices in how/where you take your own path, not just the pathetic three predefined light/dark/neutral options in pretty much everything that was in KotOR. I hope for TSL to be an R-P-G.

Bloody hell, just look at those poor sods begging for violence and gore. What a f*cked-up world did I end up living in... <_< It seems like the rating system's got it all backwards, since it's only the wee ones that watch a movie or play a game for sexuality, violence and gore... I think that pretty much makes my point for the initial question of the topic. Now I'll go and shoot myself, thank you.

No, thanks. Unless Obsidian raises her IQ by about 100 points from the 20 she had in K1. Even then, I think it's time for the developers to ease up on those rubber dolls in the games. I mean, Bastila was bad enough, but just look at Mira. Makes me sick...

Well, not every character in the game's a Jedi, so...

I certainly hope we'll hear more of new (and still quality) stuff than the old and beaten-to-death themes from K1. I mean, it's supposed to be K2, not K1:TSL, after all. It would just get dull and plain annoying to hear the same themes all over again... *sigh* I guess it's just my way of saying that I got sick of the K1's already, heh...

Well, K1 seems to have a DS ending by the looks of K2 story, but I'd still like Jolee to return. The best character out of your NPC's by far, in my opinion. And I'm just dreading the thought of Carth's return... :ph34r: Worse off if we'll get another NPC like that in our party... *shudder*

Something like bayonets might be a good idea for two-handed weapons like rifles, but you should be able to shoot in melee with one-handed weapons (pistols). Both variants should have penalties for melee, though, and that may be fixed with some additional feats you could take. Hmm, seems like that would work, especially for those characters that prefer Dexterity instead of Strength. Although something makes me think that at this point in development it may be a wee bit late to add/optimize those features to the game... Though who knows...
