Well I would say that we have arrived at the point where the sand may start flying ... so thanks for the ideas and thoughts. I too hope the patch will shortly be forthcoming, as I am sure all of us, fans, devs and regular denizens here @ Obsidian do as well.

Thread Pruned and Edited. Could we please try not to post stuff that is clearly in violation of the Forum Guidelines.

On average thanks to everyone who is contributing to this thread - great conversation! For those who feel discomfort a/o have problems with any particular member's ability to post in a grammatical manner that is appropriate to one's academic experience, please keep in mind this is a forum that attracts members from around the world and, as a result, English may or may not be one's language of birth. Not only will I request respect and understanding, I will encourage people who have trouble in this regard to please refrain from posting in a manner that is hurtful to anyone who belongs to our community. Respectfully, Fionavar

Well as with all good things, we have arrived at the ethical sandbox ... time to sweep out the house and move on ...

Well Thanks for the interest that all have demonstrated. I think that we have arrived at a tangent that is outside of the scope of KoTor

Thread Pruned: Could we try to stay on topic and not bait one another? Otherwise, I'll just get lazy and use some good old 'power-over' approaches ... FLoSD.OBE

The bold is my own in order to connect that since KoToR 2 is a product associated with Obsidian, KoToR 3 as a project members would 'like' to see seems to fit.

Well that's a good point ... hey who's running this joint anyways? FLoSD.OBE

Retnuhh, I would encourage you to c&p these great ideas and add them to the ongoing thread: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=30955. I would have merged the thread, but then it would be gone altogether. So please do add the suggestions there, please. Respectfully, Fionavar

Thanks as usual jaguars4ever :D

Um...let's play nice here k? Thank you for those wise words!

OT: I assure all involved that flame wars will never last years @ Obsidian ... so let's not bait one another into one ... /now back to your regularly scheduled banter ...

Thread Pruned: This really is getting a wee bit troublesome ...

I am assuming we do not need a timeout, but please let's not flame/bait/circumvent the language filter ... consider this a 'request' to play nice in the box ...

Thread Pruned: Remember folks the sandbox is fun, but when the dirt starts to fly ... In other words: If you cannot post in a respectful manner, please refrain from posting, otherwise I actually have to do something and that really is not going to be fun for anyone ... Skeeter: Welcome to the nutz howse that is Obsidian. Have fun, enjoy your stay and please don't feed the tollz FLoSD.OBE

Thread Pruned: I would strongly encourage that any posting that occurs from now be posted with respect toward one another. If you have nothing constructive to say then do not post. If I have to play police the sandbox again, warnings will fly and moderated status will unfortunately be an option at the Big Green's disposal ...

Thread Pruned: For the sake of trying to encourage interaction that is about the topic and not the member, I will leave this thread open. If you have nothing to add in regard to what XoRRoX has shared with the community, please do not post. If you choose to post outside of the expectations that these fora expect, well I guess I'll have to get all Big Green ... FLoSD.OBE

Thread Pruned: Hmmm ... Suggestions: No SPAM/Nothing derisive/Remain Constructive ... small expectation, right? FLoSD.OBE

Well I think the sand is all over the Roost and now I have to sweep and clean up ... oh I mean thread closed (I know get to the point ... FLoSD.OBE

Well I'm going out on a limb, but I think this thread has been derailed FLoSD.OBE

Thread Pruned: Please try to post with some respect for other members. Policing is really taxing on the Big Green and sometimes it just seems easier to clip wings then shake out the coop ... but I do so resist the temptation ... FLoSD.OBE

It is definitely not my place to speak on behalf of Obsidian, so please keep that proviso in mind. As well, the gaming industry is a complex beast that - like all of our institutions - sometimes does not allow the cream to filter to the top. Some of the ideas in here are great and they may very well be considered worthwhile, but whether they translate into being incorporated into the design cycle and final implementation is never guaranteed. So I would be sad if people dismissed designers for not listening simply because there is not translation from a specific idea into reality. I remember with BG 2 - the greatest compliment I have ever seen from a design house - they released some of the in-game Q&A characters/screenshots and some of the board members themselves were named as the designers

Even though the thread manages to stay alive, it is clear that as it grows it is beginning to give away some spoilers that may ruin the experience for 1st-timers ... so ...

http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=30955 Perhaps any further ideas/suggestions could occur here and thus avoid the SPAM syndrome FLoSD.OBE

Well let's try this then: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=30955 Please feel free to add your thoughts/ideas and suggestions at this central point. I would strongly urge members to post with respect and remain civil.
