You may trvialize my response if you like... it's no matter. For some the game was marginal, for some it was a waste of time, and for others it exceeded their expectations. And I wouldn't consider 35 as "old"... neither will you when/if you get there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not trivializing your answer. And by "old" I meant venerable/seasoned "

I appreciated your post, Kalfear. I too come from the old days of crpgs, having spent way too many hours in the Mad Overlord's proving grounds, and then later on scouring the forests with Iolo hacking at zombies. I mean in those days, some of the best crpgs simply used stick or line drawings, and we ran through endless 1st person green stick box mazes with text scrolling across half the screen telling us what was happening. Heck, you needed a 5" floppy drive to even install them. When I think of those days, with the wizardry, ultima, and (*gulp*) king's quest series - and it is with great fondness that I do - I'm truly amazed at how far things have come. I imagine it's different for those who didn't experience that, or didn't get to sit in the theatre as a kid for the original Star Wars film - way before things like the sci-fi channel, or an endless stream of hollywood sci-fi films, or all of the franchise novels, etc. All that we had then was the first film, classic Trek, and a very small sci-fi fantasy shelf at the bookstore. So for me, Kotor I & II are simply outstanding. And though I loved the first game, I feel that TSL raised the bar and is an overall better game. Though I've read about and encountered some of the glitches, and understand why many feel the ending wasn't enough, for me it's been an enjoyable experience. I'd read where some have suggested that one shouldn't have to fill in the blanks, and that the game should have had a more concrete storyline and ending. And there is merit to those suggestions. Yet for people like me who grew up playing early crpg and pen-'n-paper games where 60% of the experience was "filling in the blanks" and using your own imagination to enhance the role-playing and make it come to life... well, I kinda appreciate the way TSL was designed. And from reading all the different takes in the Spoiler and Storyline forums on what the ending and character storylines could possibly mean, and seeing how there are so many varying opinions and points of view being expressed in those threads... well, I think that the developers succeeded in one area that very few seem to recognize or even acknowledge; which is, allowing the freedom for one to not only make a vast array of choices within the game, but leaving room for the player to invest their own imagination into it as well. Was it rushed to production? Of course. But it's my opinion that not all of the "open-ended" or "unfinished" elements in the game were accidents or caused by a lack of time. Many of them are there for a reason. It's unfortunate that the rushed elements tend to get more attention and cloud that aspect of the game. But is it worth the money? You bet'cha... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So because you're old its o.k. for the game to be marginal

You're not doing anything to help Battlestar Galatica there

I just thought that the questions really sucked. I mean if they supposively took the time to go on the Lucasars Forum to see that there was a lot of complaining about bugs, surely there would have been atleast as many complaints about how easy this game is. To me this was the greatest weakness of this game, bugs you can just save often and in alot of different slots, but difficulty can really only be achieved if you just stop leveling up at about level 12

Ya somehow I don't think this is the actual crawler

My funniest moment? Well there was this time when both me as a guardian/jedi master and I used force jump, and the Handmaiden who was a guardian as well, used force jump too. Man the game totally froze up, the wackiness. You can't write humor like that

I've ran into a couple of "bad glitches", maybe the most annoying one being that the game really likes to freeze up when two people use force jump, but that has little to do with what is just poop about this game

You write mentally drab threads like these.

I was really dissappointed in the robes, especially the Jedi "package" robes. I guess they come equiped with a cup or something

Well kumquatq, you have to think, its something unpredictable, but in the end you're right, I hope you have the time of your life

He didn't even mention the rumor that the PC version is suppose to come with a free puppy

::yawn::

Don't allow your weight to hold you back

Mace to me is just sort of boring, he seemed more spirtual in Pulp Fiction then in these films

Ya I remember reading that and thinking that it was strange and seems to favor a DS Revan. Mostly because if the LS Revan ending happened then they probaly would have intregraded themselves in a more positive light instead of claiming there previous greatness. Revans story was a difficult challenge for Kotor II and just proved too difficult for the writers

I really hated the part with the remote, I felt really sort of cheated, especially after I killed all the stormbeast and there was really no challenge. Really I hated this whole level, it was alluded to very early and I was pretty sure as soon as Bao Dur joined my part that I would be going there.

I watch a fair amount of anime, rarely have I gone out and gotten the manga(surprisingly Akira being one of them), I prefer comic books, Evangelion though is one of the best anime series, I had alot of fun watching these, but then I love giant robots.

Your opinions all suck. The reason China shouldn't be allowed to have it has noting to do with communism or capitalism, it has to do with human rights. Its bad enough they get MFN statis without us (meaning U.S.)mentioning how bad things are over there for more than a week.

Theres this band Antiseen that you'd probaly be into

Ya or one that flying "force monkey" come out of there butt to destroy its enemies.

Plus you know that the force couldn't atleast till sometime after episode VI

Unfortantly I have to agree with that, its amazing how a concept that could be so easily great is so horribly bad

Ya she's a very opinionated girl, but theres definitely a certain appeal that goes with that, even though I find her a little too Courtney Loveish. As for replay, unfortantly I was able to influence almost all the characters on my first playthough LS, thats mostly because I went to Nar Shaddaa last and I really wanted to get on with the game. My second time I got all the characters to turn to jedi who could, and gained maximum influence with everyone(although none of there Lightside Mastery worked) and pretty much kicked major ass as a guardian/jedimaster (you know the Luke Skywalker path). Anyway all that is left is the darkside path and I'm pretty sure theres only going to be one of those, so basically thats 3 times through. What does that rank? I played Baulder's Gate 1 and 2 atleast 10 times a piece, so I 'm guessing that makes it basically a 3 or 4, not very good. I played Kotor 1 about 7 times so once again, not very good

The Mohamad Ali reference was good, but sentinals are more like Buster Douglas

Green day is not punk, they're just corporate rock designed for highschoolers usual simple taste, very different. (not to say all highschool age kids have simple taste, but unfortantly alot do)
