TSL Story From a Writers Perspective
Tanuvein, without copping out, please tell me what it is exactly that makes you qualify as a "semi-professonal" writer. Did you get published in "Humor in Uniform" or what?

Isn't a schutta the reciprocant of a donkey punch?

TSL Story From a Writers Perspective
I don't want to say that I expect less from games, but I never really can get too critical of video game writing. I'm not expecting "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Hemingway, but I wouldn't accept "For Whom the Bell Tolls" from Metallica. TSL for most of the game has exceptional "feel" to it and thats obviously due to pretty good writing.

The List of Continuity Mistakes
nope EU continuity at best will sometimes exist 4 years after the fact. Its even been said that the new movie will force even more continuity issues, so that sort of makes it a constantly evolving amalgamation that never truely stands on any sure footing

KOTOR III
This is cookie cutter crap. I sincerely hope that the next Kotor does something a little more original then this. At this rate they'd be better to make the only stipulation be that you're Revan's half-brother and let a jr. high english class take care of the rest.

TSL Story From a Writers Perspective
The whole, I'm a "professional writer" thing is really no way to gauge anyone's opinion. Please stop, half of my family could have their careers described as such, and in no way would that make their opinions any more creditable, nor would they ever say, "Well I'm a professional writer and my opinion would be......" I really have no problem with the way that the character's past was presented to the player. I do see how certain elements of the story seem to conflict with my preception of events that where mentioned in Kotor, but thats a reality I think anyone who has ventured into something like the star wars "EU" should be used to. The whole idea that it was this gravity generator that finished off the Mandalorians and not a real epic battle that tested Revan's tactical brillance disagreed with me, but tit was an event we still don't know everything about and I'm expected some sort of fuller explination in Kotor 3. My probems with the plot exist mostly in the end of the game. The Jedi Masters all presented themselves to me like they had learned the error of their ways and where traveloing top Dantoonie to start to make amends. Then the whole Kreia thing happen and it really fell flat. Then her make up with Sion and really all the explinations of Malachor really justed peaved me.

The List of Continuity Mistakes
The droid is a poor idea and I'm glad that Obsidian didn't use it, and would really be happy if no one ever used it again. I mean with a world of ideas out there and thats the best they could come up with. Wh o let there three year old do the writing for them

Improvements you appreciated
I appreciated the lack of an ending. I hate that games get bogged down by the conventual idea that a story should have some sort of closier or even a coherent sequence of events leading up to the finish Heres to thinking outside of the box

The List of Continuity Mistakes
The whole EU is one long lumbering contuinity mistake. Why get your panties in a bunch about people just continuing the continuity mistakes?

Leonardo Decaprio Is Underrated!
I guess you've never seen or heard of The Beach. This movie was on par with Battlefield Earth. The "videogame" sequence after drinking snake's blood was perhaps an alltime low for cinema. Leo did his best acting on Growing Pains since then its been all down hill. When has he ever carried a film? Never, nope.

The ending is what really hurt me. At the end it felt like you should only be through with half the game

Once again Volourn you just don't have a clue what you're talking about. Don't let it get you down though, keep on keeping on and eventually we'll get to a topic about the least effective acne cream and you can offer an informed opinion

Chris Rock hosting the Oscars tonight
I still can't believe after Halle Berry got an Oscar anyone could take it seriously. Don't get me wrong that scene in Monster's Ball had my chin on the floor and everything, but I don't see how anyone could go on and watch the rest of the movie afterwards. Infact I can' remember anything afterwards. More to the point Halle Berry should be banned from film after she couldn't handle playing Storm in X-Men. I guess she could do porno though
