Love your page Aimo. You have some talent! Your works seem to have some Japanese manga influence?
Your comics are hilarious!

As for my favourite system in my gaming setup from the perspective of its game library quality, that would clearly be my computer.
And by "computer," I of course mean my TI 99/4A Home Computer, currently situated at the centre of my gaming setup:
No, but seriously, I'm a fan of the oldies. Among consoles, I'm pretty sure each, individually, of my TI99 (esp. Tombstone City and TI Invaders), my Nintendo (esp. Zelda II) and my Super Nintendo (esp. FFVI and Chrono Trigger) has consumed more of my gaming time than all subsequent console systems combined, over the last year.
Damn...
Now I'm all jealous. Well not really, but I wish I had something like that set up at my place.

Maybe your confusion in BG2 stems from not having played the original Baldur's Gate?
My heart has a special place for the Baldur's Gate series, since it was the first game that really introduced me to cRPGs. I had no experience with D&D up to that point and I didn't really bother reading through the manual. I was just intrigued by that entire concept of creating a character and traveling through a world. After wondering why my armor class went down when I equipped better armor and wondering what the heck thac0 was, I finally slogged my way through the manual and had a great time.
I was pleased with the great story that it offered, since up to that point I was playing FPS games almost exclusively and they didn't really have that much story to them. Actually I was surprised that a game could even have a story of that magnitude.
The BG games turned me into a cRPG fan and its been my favorite genre ever since.
But uh back to the topic, my advice is you should play them all!
Also there are some other great RPGs out there, like Divine Divinity, Anachronox and of course PS:T.
Try everything!

Hmm, interesting idea, but I don't think it would really work with K3.
Like another poster said it would ruin some people's ideas of Revan and Exile and while it may not be such a big thing to some players, it is to others.
I think you should have the option to recreate Revan and Exile, at character creation. Maybe the devs could update the heads that are available in K1 and K2 with more pixels and such.
Of course I want to play Revan as the PC in K3, but that's just me, and a few other people.
-
If you read up on star wars history, Revan leaves to go fight the 'real sith' but then he ends up being their leader.
Which is whom I'd figured that you'd end up fighting at the end of KIII as the exile.
Where did you read that?
Wouldn't that just spoil the entire K3 story?

I wouldn't mind playing a non jedi pc.
It would be interesting to see the jedi/sith conflict through the eyes of a bounty hunter/soldier/scout etc.
It would be nice not to be the 'chosen one'. How they would create an involving story around the peripheral characters in the main conflict is what I'm wondering.

How about
Force Warrior - Equivalent to Marauder/Weaponmaster
Force Protector - Equivalent to Assassin/Watchman
Force Commander(hehe) - Equivalent to Master/Lord
Just fooling around.l

Maybe someone here is a member of Obsidian and just logged on in an internet cafe or somewhere and told us about all these hidden endings and extras that were cut.
CURSES! MY SECRET IDENTITY, REVEALED!
*runs off to France*
Aurora! you can't leave for France!
Actually yes you can, but take your computer with you, and make sure you get a fast connection over there.
I think you and everyone who's working on the Mod has the support of everyone here. I wish I had some programming skills to help you out but I work in frikken finance, which is were people of average intelligence gather when they can't figure out what they want to do.
Anyways good luck and don't burn yourself out.

Revan coined the term Darth, I believe. He was the first Darth.
Bane created the rule of two.
Really, there hasn't been a lasting relationship of more than two Sith Lords since Naga Sadow.
...I just want to know there they get their "darth" names. Revan? Sidious? Vader? Banon? They all had a name prior to their taking the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, but their title reflects nothing of their former names.
Revan and Malak were the names of Revan and Malak before they declared themselves with right?
The rest of the Sith lords I know, Bane, Sidious, Maul, Tyrannus, Vader...maybe they created names that both sound badass and have something to do with their character?
Bane-----He was kinda the bane of the brotherhood of the Sith and the Jedi.
Sidious-----it kinda has that sneaky yet sinister tone to it. He conquered the galaxy through words, diplomacy, veiled threats and outright slaughter.
Tyrannus----I think this is a crappy title, but I can live with it. Tyrannus..hmmm maybe Dooku has this control freak tendency about him. He has to wield absolute power over those beneath him like a tyrant.
Maul---Well, he was a pretty good fighter, he MAULS everything Sidious tells him too, like a good doggy should.
Vader.....Like other posters have said, it could also have come from 'invader' and Vader also means father in Dutch.
PS....I have no idea who Rivan is....sounds like a secondhand knockoff of Revan, but that's probably because I have no idea who he/she is
-
I would prefer having the game set in the era about 1000-2000 years after the Revan/Exile period.
It really hasn't been touched by the EU so the devs would be free to come up with some new stuff.
Also the deves might be able to put references about the events in KotOR 1,2&3 in the game in the form books, old manuscripts, jedi holocrons. Even learn some of Revan's teachings or the Exile's as well. Not to the point where in overshadows the game of course.
Also the devs could implement events in such a way that they have an impact on the events to come, such as the Brotherhood of the Sith and the appearance of Darth Bane which takes place around 1000 years before the movies.
The devs would have around 3 millenia to work with so they could put all their creative energy into making a cool game.
-
So why are some major plot points that can lead to a better understanding of the game's story in the loading screens and not with conversations with the party members or other NPCs?
-
I think you have to play through the game multiple times to get to know all your party members. You have to travel extensively with just the members you wish to influence to have them open up to you all the way.

My idea for Revan level cutbacks.
During the course of K2, you learn that Revan was suffering from recurring memories from his past. No doubt he has some doubts on what his true memories and false memories are. His mind was totally wiped and reprogrammed by the JC.
So faced with uncertainty yet knowing some ominous threat looms in the shadows, he unlearns what he has learned. He forces himself back to a clean slate so he can discover his true self.
Due to his previous mastery of the Force, Revan possesses certain insights and instincts that still give him a deeper understanding of the Force. Therefore he begins as a level one prestige class with some special feats.
And ninja dinosaurs on space skies rapping it up with their Mandalorian homeboys? What more could you ask for?
-
The Return of Revan.
I like.
Make him the PC, I don't want to witness his fate through the eyes of another PC.

If lightsabers are weightless, then during the swing, no momentum is formed.
Upon contact with a surface/body part, the Jedi/Sith would have to use their wrist, hand and arm strength to actually push the blade through wouldn't they? With traditional metal weapons, of course you have to be strong to control the blade but that momentum you gain as you swing helps a lot too.
But yeah, Dex probably does play a more significant part in lightsaber combat since it is weightless.
-
You explained it perfectly!
-
I liked the Bruce Lee type face.
But then all the Serroco thugs have that face, so it turned me off.
-
The Obiwan lookalike was ok.
The Asians were the most funny looking. I mean Asians don't all look like that!
Or do they?

I thought Revan made HK didn't he? Wasn't his memory core set to open when he returned to his original master?
Revan before the battle of Malachor sends HK off into Mandalorian space to assassinate someone or another, HK is badly damaged in the mission(and his core memory shuts down) and is claimed by a Mandalorian as 'booty'. When the Mandalorian discovers the assassination protocols, he gets 'delusions of grandeur', slowly killing his way up the ranks until he decided to send HK off to off Mandalore. Mandalore reprograms HK to kill the lowly Mandalorian and upon finishing the act, HK automatically shuts down as he is programmed to. Then he is claimed and sent off to one of the other masters he mentions in K1.
That's how I thought it all went down.
-
Obviously Bastila was using the old, 'I'm not the jedi you're looking for' trick.
-
Bao Dur fills you in if you gain enough influence.
Revan was detained beyond Malachor 5 by Mandalorian Scout ships and the Exile and Baodur were in a last ditch battle with the Mandalorians.
Bao Dur had constructed a Mass Shadow Generator or bomb or something. While I can only speculate what it does, the poster Maria says that it caused a gigantic gravity hole, smashing everything within its range into the surface of Malachor.
Of course the weapon didn't distinguish the Mandalorians from the Republic so both sides were decimated though the Mandalorians got the most of it.

I wouldn't exactly call the EU novels brilliant, though I like the comics.
I'm attracted to colorful things!
I personally liked episode one. I think the main reason was because after the movie I was so hyped up by how great Ray Park pulled off those fighting moves that me and a buddy began lightly throwing punches at each other which quickly escalated into me kicking his face and him doubling me over with a nice punch.
Good times.
Yeah, but episode 2 was pretty bad. Especially the dialog.
Here's to Episode 3!
-
Mira: After she tells you that maybe she'll let you show you sometime, include her in your party and walk around the main hub in Nar Shaddaa.
Atton: Atton has to be in your party in the refugee sector in Nar Shadaa. Two Twileks will approach telling you about Atton.
BaoDur: You just have to have in your Party everywhere, show him your doing good things and your influence with him should gradually go up. Also Have Baodur do repair/check your work when the option presents itself and then compliment him on job well done.
There's a good Influence Thread somewhere on the boards. You should look at that for further details.
