1. The PC - I would like to play as Revan again. I want to conclude my adventure with him. I don't want to see his fate through the eyes of the Exile or another PC the devs cook up. I want to see Revan's fate with his own eyes and be there with him at the end. Yes Laozi, I'm a Revan fanboi, as you so affectionately put it.
Just don't give him another mindwipe/amnesia thing to lower his levels. I would accept it if the devs just knocked him back to level 10 or something. Or possibly they could have him as a whole new class as he travels the Unknown regions. He can't use his Jedi powers because he doesn't want the entire Sith Empire aware of his presence. He could masquerade as a scout/bounty hunter/Soldier only using his Jedi powers in covert operations where he plans to leave no witnesses.
But this would be unacceptable to a lot of people who want to cut people down with the lightsaber and force choke everyone around them, including me. Although I wouldn't mind playing the majority of the game as a non-jedi character class and regain my force powers in the latter portion of the game.
Another idea might be to start him as a level one jedi prestige class. Revan consciously lets go of all the skills and powers he has learned. He still has doubts on who his true self is. Whether his powers stemmed from his true self, or whether the manipulations of the Jedi Council still plague his mind. He sets out to recreate himself by 'unlearning what he has learned' and relearning them to forge the true vision of himself. Through this revelation, he starts out as a prestige class. As more of his memory is restored to him, of his past choices, he gains special powers.
2. The Exile : Of course I want the Exile to return in K3. Whether the devs implement the game as a double disk(Which I'm against. I think the focus of the game will be compromised) or as a NPC for Revan, I don't know. Maybe Neither. Maybe the Exile will BE the PC. Though I still think Revan should be the PC.
3. The NPCs. I'd like a whole new cast of NPCs, except T3 and HK.
Damn I have to run.
I'll write more later.(Like anyone cares

Therefore you am.

Another question. Why did you have to fight your way through the academy at Malachor V killing all of them?
IIRC Kreia's order was that they should be polite to you. On the entrance they even celebrated a welcome party...
Kreia tells Sion to welcome the Exile, but Sion is a jealous guy. He wants to be number one in Kreia's book for some reason so he seemingly has his assassins welcome the Exile so he can put the Exile off guard. Then he has the assassins attack...not that it does much.
-
Kreia does explain to you during your questions about Nihilus, that the Sith assassins are like him except on a much smaller scale.
That might account for their ability to remain hidden since they are small scabs in the Force. I mean no one really pays attention to little scabs unless you like to pick at them.

Good post. Heartfelt. I totally agree with you, since I too wrote along rambling post similar to this one.
We can only hope for the Devs taking heed of voices that cry out to them....ok now I'm being melodramatic.
Sign the petition!

Don't we all.
And Romana, I'm impressed with your knowledge of history. I shall come to you in times of need.

Plooby I must confess I stripped down Bastila to see what was underneath. You are not alone.
:">
It was her voice! It was seductive! It was melodious! Her voice told me to!
Now it admonishes me for being such a loser. *sigh*
I once had Zaalbar lead my party for a time until I realized the implications of staring at hairy hips swaying back and forth for extended hours might be more devastating than anything I could imagine.
-
Heh, yeah I do tend to be long winded. Look at my posts, they go on and on and on when it would be better for me to stop and shut up.
It's cool you study Hapkido. In Korea they call it Hapkido. I looked at the Chinese characters once that spell Hapkido, and they're the same for Aikido. Literally translated it means, 'The way of combining your ki(energy)"
I've never tried Hapkido but have some friends who did. It seems similar to Aikido except a tad bit more brutal. I'm not sure though. Is it the same style as Aikido just pronounced differertly?
Just asking in case you know.
-
Ok, I think you're overreacting just a bit.
I'm not some sort of swordmaster, and I never implied as such in my post. If anything I explained how frikken hard it was for me to even practice with two swords. I don't have any delusional fantasies that I am Miyamoto Musashi reborn ok?
I practice martial arts because its fun and good exercise. I like talking about it too. I realize I'm never going to experience the feudal ages of Europe and Japan nor do I really wish to.
Actually I'm confused as to why you're so riled up.

Thanks for the analysis Montegue. You obviously know more about two weapon fighting than I do.
I wasn't trying to say that having one arm follow the other was a good thing to do. I was saying that's what usually happened during my first time practicing. I've never had any experience with a rapier or other western weapons so I can't comment on that but with a shorter katana type weapon there are more slashing manuevers than thrusting manuevers.
The important aspect of slashing is the ability to delivery it quickly and also stop it before you over-extend yourself to one side and therefore, as you mentioned, horribly expose yourself to the opposite angle. When performing a conventional two hand slash with a katana, your left hand on bottom and right hand top, the left hand is used to move the blade and the right to guide the blade.
If you become accustomed to this grip, it feels very awkward to use just one hand to do both since it requires considerable more strength in the hands, wrists and arms.
The practice exercises I mentioned aren't made to be used in actual combat of course. I certainly wouldn't simply circle my weapon around and around like an idiot against an opponent. The exercises I mentioned are just that, exercises meant for your weaker arm to grow stronger and for you to grow accustomed to wielding two weapons at once.
And of course, your arms shouldn't mimic each other, nor should they encumber each other. I wasn't saying they should. I found that trying to perform cutting techniques with two katanas caused me to overextend a lot because my arms, wrists and hands were just learning to compensate for wielding two weapons in two hands at the same time. This caused my arms to cross over each other and to avoid this I found one arm slashing in the same direction as the other. I was forced to do many painful exercises related to my head and neck as punishment everytime my two arms got in the way of each other.
Ideally, two weapons should be wielded as you say, compensating for both offense and defense each complementing the other. Which is kinda what I meant by separately and independantly. I don't know about you, but for me, trying to exert control over my two arms at the same time was a difficult exercise, and at times I wished I could actually spilt my consciousness to two separate halves. Each half controlling one of my arms. That's what I meant by that. Maybe I should have elaborated more.

You can turn Baodur to a Jedi?
Cool, never knew that. Although I've only played through once. I never got the option to Jedify him, getting only the 'nevermind' like most people here.
When will the option eventually show up? After you max influence him?

Being a guy this is what went through my mind during character creation in K1.
"Ok....do I want to look at man's ass or a woman's ass for the next 50 hours of my life?"
"Definitely a woman's ass."
"Ok, but since you can romance that hot chick with the lightsaber on the cover, maybe I shoould play Revan as a man. I mean really don't want to romance a man. That would be just weird. Really weird."
"So what's worse? Looking a man's ass or professing my undying love to a man?"
"Hmm....this is really a no win situation here."
In the end I decided that a nicely toned man's ass might be able to pass for woman's.
I think I gave to much information here....but what the hell, I'll post anyways.
I think this is why I prefer the top down view in RPGs.
On a more serious note, like others have said, this game is your own personal experience and will not somehow affect the games of others. Just think whatever you want. If Revan is a man in your game fine, if she was a woman fine.
And I agree that all these combinations will be a nightmare for any potential sequel if Revan and/or the Exile show up. Maybe there could be a Revan and Exile Character Creation Screen when you start. I don't think it'll be that hard to implement.
Back to the gender wars!

Wielding two weapons at the same time with any amount of efficiency does take a lot of practice. If your right hand is dominant, then try swinging a simple stick with only your left hand. Its an awkward exercise at first. now imagine that stick is long and heavy and you'll get the picture.
I've studied martial arts as well. At least the eastern ones. The only experience I had with two weapon fighting were with two short katanas, well they aren't katanas per se, since Koreans use a slightly different type but its close enough.
Most people find as I did that the natural way the arms act when holding two weapons is that one will follow the other. Or rather one arm will naturally follow the momentum caused by the movement of another. If the arms cross it really becomes an awkward mess of hands, arms and whatever weapon your holding.
Thus the basics require you to first accustom yourself with the flow of the weapons having one trail the other, which results in circular movements. The purpose of this exercise is to accustom your weaker arm to the natural movements of the blade. Once your weaker arm becomes stronger and used to the weight and flow of the weapon, you have to train your mind and body so your arms can act seperately and independantly from each other without causing awkward crossing.
It's pretty hard sense your hands and arms try to tend to mimic each other.

A bug with Bao Dur.
I can't seem to initiate dialog with him.
When he's on the Ebon Hawk working on the ship and when I click on him to start talking all he does is turn towards me and no dialog options appear.
If I try to initiate dialog outside the Ebon Hawk, same thing happens except now he even stops following me around.
The only way I've found that will work in to press tab outside the Hawk to switch to BaoDur then have him initiate dialog with my PC. However after the first two dialogs about the floating droid and a little about the why he joined the war, no other dialog options appear except for 'Nevermind'
Is that all there is to Baodur's dialog options with the PC?
-
Damn you!
No offense :D
-
Yeah, at first Darth Vader was the name of well...Darth Vader.
It wasn't until later that it became a title for the Lords of the Sith after Darth Bane, the first 'Darth'
Darth Bane is the guy who started the whole law of the two thing. Only Two Dark lords at any one time, one the master and one the apprentice.
Bane lived about 1000 years before the first movie.
But this is all EU and therefore can probably be changed on GL's whim

I really don't want to listen to all that stuff!
It's so tempting, but a part of me hopes a special content patch will be released and I can see everything fresh!
Here's hoping!
-
If it doesn't have Revan or the Exile in it? I would probably still buy it. but I wouldn't pick it up immediately. I'd wait around see what it was all about and if everyone starts raving about how cool it is, and then when the prices drop, I'll get it then. I'm not curious about a whole new story set in the KotOR era until the fate of Revan is known.
-
alright I'll stop complaining and start playing again... here it goes.
Zach Morris...I looked at your picture and I am scared. Why are there two men in close proximity with each other, their shirts open, smiling at everyone?
But back to the thread.
Let's not play the blame game here. What's done is done is done.
Everyone is a little dissapointed with the end of K2. Don't tell me you aren't just a little bit!
Some people just focus on all the good stuff about the game and some people just concentrate on what K2 could have been.
I'm conflicted myself. It is a good game but could have been more. It makes me sad. But that didn't stop me from starting a DS game to forget my sadness. Heh, what's in the game is pretty good.
-
I can see that.
Anakin: I'm still so pissed off about my Mom! I miss her so!
Revan: You know, I once helped a friend come to terms with her mother, maybe I can help you too!
Anakin: My mother is dead!
Revan: Oh, sorry bout that....was she eaten by a Krayt Dragon by any chance?
Anakin: No she was tortured by Sandpeople!
Revan: Oh the Sandpeople! They're not so bad if you get them some moisture vaporaters. The chieftan will even give you his Gaffi Stick if you do that. Err...you don't have an estranged older brother or sister too do you?
Anakin: What the hell are you talking about? The Sandpeople are EVIL! They're animals and they should be slaughtered like animals!
Revan: You know, you sound like a droid I know!. I think you two will get along. I'll get him for you. *Uses the rapid transit system to suddenly dissapear.*
Anakin: RWAAAARGH!
Unless you played DS Revan.
-
It was a good game!
I don't think anyone is in dispute of that, except for a few. The reason people are dissapointed is because we know that Obsidian could have done a lot better, would have done a lot better given the time.
The members of OE are the some of the people that gave us the best RPGs ever. RPGs that I personally play to this day.
That's what makes me sad.
But I'll say thanks OE, you did craft a great game. One that I enjoyed playing and one that I'll play again.
P.S. I'll play it more and cherish it like my own son if you release a content patch that patches up the ending!

I can not belive that revan has a single vote in this poll. Yeah Revan is cool but Vader wiped out 95% of the Jedi.
Yes, but Revan captured the jedi, tortured them and turned them into the Dark Side.
Hmm...
Oh well, to each his own.
-
Due to the extremely high levels Revan and Exile are at the end of each of their respective games, I find it unlikely that the main PC will be either.
Unless they find some highly innovative way to explain taking down levels, or they just knock the levels back and say 'deal with it' then make leveling a gradual process that ends at 20 or whatever the D20 rules has as the level limit, then I'd say hi to the new PC.
The new PC that is so powerful in the Force that he/she is able to take on the True Sith, but has never been felt till now. Hey the universe is a big place right?
-
Yes, I realized that you should always have the NPCs you want to influence most in your party the majority of the time.
However, I don't think the interactions content with the NPCs is there. They feel too short and reveal less, or reveal too much to in too short a time for the influence system to acheive its full potential.

yay! I feel smart!
But come on that puzzle isn't that hard if you put some thought into it before you randomly click on the choices.
