ShadowPaladin V1.0

What ? Sucking the life out of people until they are an empty shell PC characters should not be made NPCs.

If you look at the movements of the top two she is stabbing down and thats translated into the bottom screenshot. Whether or not it is actual real time footage thats another question

When you figure playtime are you just talking about the time on the clock when the game ends. Or are you also including the times you croak and have to reload ?

Anything between 15-25. Still makes me laugh when someone on the Bioware boards said I should have walked to make the game last longer. If you consider roleplaying being so heavily foreshadowed that it completely gives the game away. And then being stuck going through the motions of the plot. "There is a hole in your tecnique". (which could only have come from one place) "Um..Really ?" "Thanks, better do something about that" Voice from Bioware. "HA HA HA that's what you think"

Some info about the new game from Nibris. http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/...06_sadness.html http://www.nibris.net/

It's too big a loophole for the ESRB to not be involved. If they were to start rating actual mods, ie creations of third parties (and not just things that unlock created content) at that point I would say they are overstepping their bounds. But actually allowing people to put anything they want on the disk as long as you need to unlock it. That's not something I want to see. A topless mod is mild compared to some of the things that could find their way onto disks to be hidden for later unlocking.

Normally they will overlay the Iron Cross for the German version of the game. Whether or not they remove the texture completely from the disk I don't know. Seems likely that it will be the case in the future.

Well Revan is already an NPC to my mind. Mine ceased to exist when he got his memory back. The difficulty of having both KOTOR II endings work for the Exile is enough to make the idea less than appealing too. You can't very well be the leader of the new Sith and the new Jedi at the same time without two entirely seperate storylines.

The world is bigger than the US, the UK and Europe Besides you wouldnt want to be stuck with our ratings system on most things anyway. The Germans have a particular aversion to some things. I think it's blood has to be coloured green (or something along those lines). I'm in favour of ratings. I'm also in favour of people trying to take advantage of the system being punished . But I don't want to see legislation taking the place of voluntary ratings for a number of reasons. The UK is very antsy when it comes to depicting children that can be hurt. Thats why you wont find them in FO or FO2. Interestingly though, they are on the disk and you can patch them in. If FO were to be made today and PEGI or the BBFC feel the same way as the ESRB that would have to be changed. Every culture has their own values which is why one rating system isnt ever going to be feasable.

That would be impossible as laws vary from region to region.

A. It looks like Star Control. B. How long was the timed demo ?

Older people tend to play. MMPORGs RPG's Puzzle Adventures Simulation

Just don't get it mixed up with Phantom Hourglass

Thats the phillosophy behind Nintendo's Wii. My folks will play a DS game. But show them a PS2 controller and it's just too much to take in. Reviews are not written to inform parents for the most part. And those that are, are usually bias to the point of idiocy.

You can view movies quite quickly. Games on the other hand would take a lot longer to per-view. Unless your saying that parents simply shouldnt care what their children watch or play ? Becuase they will inevitably be exposed to it anyway.

Indirectly perhaps. Games for the DS are not going to be playable without some serious changes. Stuff like Trauma Center you probably wouldnt even want to play. It's a bit like how the wierd media and being one button short left the cube out in the cold.

Even less feasable for games than for movies.

I guess it depends what you play. My average used to be around 80 hours. But Jade Empire dragged it down "

The alternative would be non voluntary regulation. Which would be both stricter and take longer. Stunts like leaving things on a disk to be found dosnt do the non censorship side any favours.

UK version had no kids in it.

But thats not how it was told in KOTOR. For much of KOTOR you were supposed to be clueless to your identity. By having amnesia it gave you a blank slate to work with. After KOTOR Revan got his memory back and disapeared. Nothing you did in KOTOR made any difference. You could say that when he recovered his memory your character ceased to exist. More amnesia would just be lame.

Not really. It allows you to use characters with those names. But they wouldnt be the same characters that I nurtured through two KOTORs. Revan is now clearly an NPC. Whatever you did in KOTOR dosnt mean anything.

The problem with your story is that it makes my accomplishments worthless. All so you can play a character called Revan , which is not the same one you were playing anyway. I like the Exile more, simple reason because I got more say in the creation process and didnt suddenly have my character hijacked. But I'm happy to sacrifice for the good of the franchise. By reducing the characters to level 1, it's not different than just sewing up events as a background story. You have already removed the character from my control anyway.

You wake up on a slab with no memory and find a piece of paper and scalpel :D

We all know that would not have been the end of it. Feargus would be in a lose/lose situation. If he confirms it's 20 hours everyone goes nuts. If he says it's longer and then it turns out to be short, everyone calls him a liar. Smart thing with all those other previews in waiting is to sit back and let them answer the question. It's not like the game is anywhere near release so anyone not buying it on some rumour is to use a phrase you use often, nuts.
