It's a prestige class ability. Cant get it otherwise.

NPCs to keep with you for storyline purposes
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Memnoch's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Some NPCs will say certain things in certain situations. Bao Dur is quite talkative on Dxun something which I didnt see until I had played my fourth game. There are events which occur which NPCs will react too , if they are in your party. You wont miss out on anything important. But you might miss out on the odd inter party banter but short of reading a walkthrough thats inevitable. -
Actually it reminded me a lot of Skies of Arcadia. I got lucky and found Viki very early on, but I also just enjoyed the roaming about (once I had slash or the champion rune). The "intro" was definately longer than it needed to be though. The mini games were also amazing. The rune card game and the pon game I can play those for hours. III was very innovative , I'd like to see more games work like that.

Replaying the Game
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to ShadowPaladin V1.0's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I only played KOTOR once so I dont know if it's a carried over feature. I found it really helpful though keeping all the games well organised by different characters. -
Just goes to show that a 32 minute ending can leave you more in the dark than a 32 second one :D . Because you didnt turn to dust I concluded that you must have been trapped inside the rune and not been able to escape. I was trying to work out how many times you would have to play before you exhausted all the NPC options..Then I gave up I missed 5 of the stars too. As usual they really nailed the "stronghold" perfectly. And the pre battle events were very well done and gave a real feeling of fear and anticipation.

Whats the worst dark side act you did?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to jennahaze's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Defeating the Mandalorian in the battle circle, then fighting him outside (rather than joining forces to defeat something). Affliction, Insanity , Kill. Didnt even bother drawing my lightsaber just to show him how pathetic he was while he choked to death. -
Replaying the Game
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to ShadowPaladin V1.0's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Do what I do for replaying games. Get to to just before the end, save and start over. Then finish all the ends in one go. Depending on the type of game seeing the end will kill my motivation to play again some times. The DS side has a different ending , and a different feel altogether (different dialogue options). Maurader was a LOT of fun. -
The List of Continuity Mistakes
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Darth Nuke's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
The fact it looks like a space craft and not a mutant lobster is all that matters. -
You would have to provide a link, or at least which trailer it is. Wouldnt suprise me if the scene was edited for the game though. Depending on the type of torture the censors will demand an M rating. Torturing an old women would probably fall under that heading.

See Feargus' Announcement?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Monte Carlo's topic in Computer and Console
I found it funny that since the post everyone is rallying around. People just take things for granted sometimes. -
See above.

Very enjoyable experience and more interesting than the paper thin "plot twist" in KOTOR , which you really couldnt get away with again anyway. I finished Suikoden IV yesterday and despite it having a 32 minute ending I was still more in the dark than in KOTOR II . You have to look for meaning in KOTOR II by paying attention to the story and talking to your companions (and that meaning may well change depending on who you end up bonding with), which is one of the things that sets it above KOTOR for me. The whole evil thing was also handeled in a much more interesting and less thugish way so I actually got to finish this game as a DS character too. The actual end levels are very much the same as the StarForge, really dont see how you can complain about that without the same complaint with KOTOR. Since I really hated the proposed ending anyway I was quite a bit happier than if it had been included. I'd probably have strong words for whoever left those files in though. Unless it was a case of accident , the only reason that 90% of gamers are "happy" is because they exist in blissful ignorance of the reality of the process. -
Best planet order?

Don't you have to do Onderon part II before that anyway? -
Best planet order?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to jedi mad hatter's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
First game I went. Dantooine, Nar Shada, Koriban, Dxun. logically Dantooine being the best spot for a new saber (and crystals, though the your name crystal came as a bit of a shock). Now I prefer Nar Shada , Dxun , Koriban , Dantooine. Places where you would get a component will give you a saber if you already have yours, and places where you get a saber later will give components first so there is no wrong order as such. I've never been so glad to see a workbench as I was playing the Mira interlude :D -
The List of Continuity Mistakes
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Darth Nuke's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
It looks similiar, I wouldnt say it looks the same though. Ships would look similiar, unless you go purposely outlandish B-wing?. Just look at our modern aircraft. -

Congratulations on the new arrival Personally I see nothing wrong with weilding the firebrand and keeping the trolls in check. After all this is an aspect of the company and needs a degree of professionalism. -
While people have a right to complain , doing so in a in inflamitory manner dosnt help as the thread invariably goes off track. One warning then a ban should keep things much more reasonable. Given a choice between upsetting a small % of board users and upsetting LA I know which I would choose in Fearguses place.

If you say so.. How many copies has KOTOR II sold ? How many people frequent this forum ? If the "fans" are making the publisher look bad, that reflects on Obsidian. It is after all their board and they are ultimately responsible for it. Unruly boards can make publishers look elsewhere. While closing the boards would mean the end of our hanging out. The effect on the company is pretty much negligable. Especially when the forthcoming game dosnt even have a forum here anyway. -

ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Darth Nuke's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Neither of them look like the thing in the hanger. I'm glad they didnt use the flying lobster it just looks incredibly stupid. -
I cant think of a game that have been universally applauded. The problem with things like this is people start to see bugs everywhere. Cant get something to work , must be a bug. Totally ignoring the fact that just reading about an event will not make it trigger in game. Added to the godawful state of PC software and the ammounts of crap on peoples systems they are not even aware of it's suprising anything works these days. Fun game but not in my top list, niether is KOTOR for that matter though I prefer II over the first one.

Everyone does not go to the same place on the net. It's valid whether or not you get it. Anyway I have better things to do like collect two more frog skins to finish Mizuki's bondage outfit. -

Yes it is, you meet people in a pub that you dont meet at any other times. If you meeting places closes you no longer meet them. It's quite simple really.
