As far as I know, are the only KOTOR2 characters in the book.

It doesn't bother me, the issue I'm bringing up is a legal one - it depends on the country of course, but it may be easier just to sidestep it altogether. If I recall correctly Fallout 1 and 2 had this problem with the inclusion of children in the game world. Fan patches did uncensor the regional versions with censored children though.

Did you really need to make another thread to discuss this? and double-post in it? Going back to fan comments... in the KS rewards section, the team has already said that the items will be balanced within the game. Fallout New Vegas dealt with "mature" themes pretty well for the most part.

Wasn't it censored in some regions?

I doubt they expected this kind of response, especially with Obsidian's general reputation being (rightly or wrongly) buggy and\or incomplete games.

MCA said the romances in Alpha Protocol weren't included by choice and that four of them were a "pain in the posterior" to write. By all means, if they can be integrated well, go for it. For me that's a secondary item compared to combat mechanics and quest design.

Can't think of a male gazy character in an Obsidian game other than Katrina from DSIII, and that was basically a by-the-numbers, paying the bills project anyway. As for nudity...forget it folks, not with the rating issues that would entail - the last thing Obsidian need is a Fox-News-style contraversy. I'm sure someone will mod it in sooner or later

Good stuff. Though I'm not sure the inclusion of Kaevee was necessary (that voiceover\direction has to be pretty off-putting).

like when mira shoots you down in kotor 2 for being too old She also mentions the other women fighting over the Exile (and not wanting to get involved in said fighting with Handmaiden\Visas). Besides, the K2 ones seemed almost shoehorned in (as though LucasArts requested it or something). I think Planescape Torment handled it well, maybe a little more dialogue from Fall-from-Grace would have been good but I'm not concerned about romances anyway. I wouldn't want to see the game compromised for the sake of including them.

Kreia is a great character, but the "scornful teacher" thing and being forced to take her in your party seemed to annoy quite a few people. She may well have been better as a non-party character given her role in the events of KOTOR2.
