My Guess is that there is some compatibility error with your present choice of monitor and KotOR2. I would reccomend checking your monitor manual or the KotOR 2 manual or using LucasArts techsupport.

I heard the... jail can do terrible things to a mind It can wipe away your memories and destroy your very identity!

*Darth Ni starts bitching and moaning* Happy now?

LA gave guidelines to be followed. OE implemented some of those poorly. The same thing with the player starting as a Jedi. That was a requirement by LA. However OE circumvented this by taking the PC's Force powers and lightsaber away. Yep, you start off as a Jedi alright, or at least that's what it reads in the character sheet. Sorry, but I'm with Volo on this one. Damn, I'm beginning to sound like I hate the game, when actually there's nothing farther from the truth. The game however, is not without its flaws, and OE is just as responsible for those as LA. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The most common complaints are about things taken out of the game (including a planet), bugs, crashes, an last act that seems half-finished and 75% unexplainable and poor party AI. Of those things the party AI thing is the only thing that can be put on obsidian, so when people have random non-specific complaints I tend to throw it all on Lucas arts. If your complaints are with balance issues and the random item generator, then those are less frequent complaints which can only be attributed to Obsidian, and I guess, in that case you would be right incriticizing both companies. Overall, the only thing I have trouble living with is the last act. No explanation of why you're alone, no explanation of the MSG, what the hell is Mira doing if she's there? What's Goto's deal? What's with the ship? This stuff's absence is too obvious to be an oversight, it must have been a matter of not having time to do it right. So, in my case, it's all Lucasarts' fault. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, I don't have a problem if they fail to add a few points because the modifiers need a little fixing. What I do have a problem with is game killing bugs, stupid AI, rushed release date etc. Therefore I blame LucasArts' 100%. They have come out with some good titles so its not like I wont buy from them in the future but I was disappointed with their handling of KotOR2. Republic Commando seems like an interesting title and I do plan on purchasing it. Hopefully this patch that will be released soon will fix the stupid issues.

So you've been waiting a few days? I'm unsympathetic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he's an XBOXer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Face the harsh reality, KotOR 2 won't be coming out for a while so you're going to have to wait atleast 10-12 months if it indeed is in development. And if you are a PC user, you can add an additional 3 months to that. Besides, there are other games you can play and quite a few good titles are coming out this year.

Hmm... it must be a monitor related issue. Maybe if you have a widescreen monitor, 1600*1200 is the only resolution supported by KotOR. But thats a 4:3 aspect ratio which isn't the widescreen aspect ratio. Hmm... I do know however that only 19" and above monitors actually support that resolution so if you have a LARGE monitor, KotOR 2 may be confused... Sorry no ideas.

My original message: The PM I recieved from Chris Avellone.

... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What? Man obviously they were succesfull... duh.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. Obviously successful. I pity the fool who thinks otherwise. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea... hehheh... .... erm.... yea....

... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What? Man obviously they were succesfull... duh....

I take it they were succesful

Vader turned the temple into that? Shouldn't that be the natural state of the temple sice the Jedi are constantly being slaughtered by one foe or another?

Yep... WooHoo!! Jedi Temple I would like to see the Galactic Senate too

I'll post my savegame as soon as I manage to get my computer back from Dell...

For anyone else who would like to try it, I have a save right after the prologue. Is there a way for me to post it here? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Zip your savegame folder. Below Post Icons, there is a category called FILE ATTACHMENTS. There is a browse button, click on it and select the savegame archive. then click OK and click ADD THIS ATTACHMENT. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've tried that and I can't get it to work...(I must be retarded ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1) Select your attachment under File Attachments 2) Select 'Add This Attachment' 3) Then click 'Add into Post' 4) Then click 'Add Reply' Attachment.txt

I heard that can kill you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should I consult my doctor before using it? Adverse side effects may include : Showing others that you have common sense, Not being yelled at by everyone for posting something that was already discussed and in rare cases, the Search Function can cause less clutter on the forums... Ariella no offence but you should always look carefully before posting new topics. Anyways to answer your question, a patch has been released for the Foreign (anything other than North America) versions of the game. It fixes some corruption in the manual.pdf file of the game. A new patch is in the works or so I am told by Chris Avellone.

This should be moved to either the PC or X-BOX Self-Help Forum or the Spoiler Forum. Secondly, I haven't gotten that far yet so I cant help you. Sorry... Please don't kill me

Read my EDITED post.

YOU HAVE PERSONALLY OFFENDED ME I HATE YOU! Umm.... right... the publisher can't do anything to affect the release date. Where's the flaw in that logic? Seems perfect Yes... considering that they said that the game would arrive for PC by December w/ the X-BOX... yep... they kind of overshot the deadline by what? 3 months. Care to elaborate on what would have happened? That's ok... disagree all you want.. I've got 800 Posts!! I'm going to try and work my way to 1,000 before I leave the Obsidian forums.

Well... we all have our opinions. I think that KotOR 2 in terms of story, gameplay and features is superior to its predecessor and sets a level in RPG gaming.

That still doesn't account for the POOR game balance, uber lame random item generator, and other faults. The overly buggy state of the game may be to blame on LA, but that's about it. And I didn't run into any bugs, apart from a few freezes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LucasArts wanted the random item generator thing done. While the implementation may have been poor (Obsidian's fault), LucasArts was the producer and ultimately they cleared these things.

The U.S. didn't go to war in Vietnam defending freedom. It's just so that they could ensure their dominance in the world. Besides, South Vietnam wasn't even a democratic state, it was dictatorial, corrupt and unpopular (even it's own people were against the government). There is no justification for war and whoever said that there is glory in war is wrong. War is not about glory and most countries will go through any means to ensure that they win it. Don't go giving me this honour or glory B.S.. I respect the sacrifice of those soldiers but I cannot respect the governments which perpetrated these acts of war. There is always an ulteriror motive... Sad but true. In the end, you can't go criticizing all the German soldiers. Many of them were conscripted into the army. If they didn't fight, they would be killed anyway. So you call them war criminals because they didn't want to be killed?

No. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. Prove it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... It's pretty obvious isn't it? LucasArts asked Obsidian to develop the game. They wanted the game ready for a certain date. Obsidian which is being PAID by LucasArts to develop the game doesn't have a say in the release date. All the official content that is released for the game goes through LucasArts. LucasArts chooses when to release the game. Obviously LucasArts atleast looked at the final product and they chose to release the game on February 8th 2005. If LucasArts wanted the bugs fixed, they would have delayed the release. Therefore, while Obsidian could have done a better job at debugging in the time it was alotted, LucasArts is mainly to blame. Mike Gallo did evaded questions in the interviews because he did not want to tell us the truth that : LucasArts released the game so that they could make some quick money and they knew about the bugs.

No. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes.

Wait... but what if you are like that all the time? Does that mean I can't post? Damn you Jad'en... *sniff* *runs to mommy* :'(

It's not Obsidian's fault. Its LucasArts' fault!!! They rushed the game.
