* * I may be over using this smilely, but it's just so damn fitting sometimes.

Thats more or less what I'm trying to say. What people are asking for here (temptation) isn't exactly easy to pull off in a non-petty way for every little quest. Lets face it, those little quest add up.

That shouldn't be a path to the DS. If you make your choices based on help/saving/doing the right thing, but they turn out wrong, that shouldn't be a DS point. As yoru not doing anything out of anger or hate or fear. Again, that is NOT the path to the DS. Anakin, to use your example, didn't go bad because he was trying to hard but kept screwing up. He went bad because he was arrogant and hated thos that he saw as "holding him back". I do, but what would you feel would give yu purpose. What do you expect the devs to do to make you feel enough hate or fear to feel justified in playing the DS at every turn? To me, I can only think of one reason to play the DS. It's fun to be bad sometimes. No, but you can't be blowing up planets or killing off the last remaining jedi on every little quest and hope to make a enjoyable RPG. Or can you...

Unfortunatly Yoda didn't have the foresight to predict the effect that might have on an RPG Not to meantion how lame it would be to breeze throught he game as the DS, untill the final boss of course, where the LS player who had been getting extra EXP is much more prepared and breezes through the boss. Scaling can only do so much without becoming cheap

Think about it/ If you give the DS player a "quick and easy path" and make the LS player wade through **** and enemies what effect would that have on game balance?

In K1, you only had to switch discs when you first installed the game. Tho I do agree I'd rather have a one disc release. It would help cut down on piracy as well. As was said, alot of people have a dvd drive and if they don't then they are dirt cheap for a good one, but not alot of people have DVD writers.

Doesn't that unbalance the game then?

Yea, I thought that might be one of the only decetn ways to pull this off, but thats a one trick poney. You can't keep putting the player in that position all damn game. At the same time, it's not going to really "tempt" anyone too much. I mean, people will most likely see right throught it. If I set out to play a LS jedi, I'm prolly going to do the "right thing" without feeling to much pull. I like the idea of having more temptation, but I don't see how it can be done with out over-kill on the drama, a unbalanced path for the DS, or resorting to "tricks" EDIT: Tyrell talked of so much temptation it's almost impossible to be good, but at the end of the day people won't have much problem staying on the LS no matter what you hit them with (unless you effectively "trick" the player) because: 1. It's a video game. No temptation will beat your want to play through a certain path. 2. You know you can always play the game a different way again.

but not liking the council and wanting to know who you really are doesn't mean you fall to the DS. Jollee had a grudge against the council and didn't try to take over the universe. Thats what I'm saying. How do you really "tempt" a player if not with something he can use in the game (PNPC, money, items) or with something he chooses to do for fun (new quests, furthering a story line). It's pretty hard, if not impossible, to make the player feel pure hate or fear so that they turn to the DS.

Thats not really temptation is it?

Thats all well and good, but remember thats what you want, not nessasarily the way it should be. I doubt Darth Maul or The Emporer was a "tragic anti-hero". And remember, you already start off as a fallen jedi. You havn't gone to the darkside (that we know of), but you did something so bad/dangerous that the Jedi Order chose to banish you. It's not like you start off as Mr. Rogers of the SW universe

LOL, that was pretty good

The man has a good point. I hope their work on blasters, hth, and balancing in general works out well.

Don't mock me women! ::I may or may not alreayd be DL it " ::

I did virus scan At this point I think I might just move everything onto my second harddrive, and format the one with the problem and reinstall stuff. That way I'm working off a clean slate for Vampire/HL2/Pirates, etc

I prefer "God among men" or "Alimighty", but you know, whatever

Wait, scientists? Did I miss a bit about scientists? Yea, but she killed those that got sick. Im not sure hearing voices counts as a death penalty. After all, she was nutty, but not without reason. Another thing is that she seemed afraid that the sickness may be spread off the island.

you don't have to be, just choose the windows media player option and it streams it for free

Yep, it came out with the article they released today. There was literally 6 posts on it.

My condolences Tho I knew that already

IGN has a video of the event. It's nothing big, but I won't say what happens, in case you want to avoid all spoilers

I believe the parts MCA was talking about are parts of your saber that the PC had taken when he was exiled

Doubt that, I think we've seen pics of sith assasins using them ....but after running through the screenshots I only saw one sith assasin with a LS....so we'll see

That doesn't mean some people still don't drop them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe like mini boses and Sith Lords ( :D ) will but i think thats it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope your right

I Like what I hear
