no problems with playing all the others .. but the part with Bao Durs remote was really annoying!

I was also absolutely thrilled for the first 2/3 of the game .. then it felt quite rushed! but I still think it's a great game .. and I have no problem with the story, which imo made perfect sense! but it's definitely not a game for those who don't like to read! :D I don't think I have spent so much time thinking about dialouge (and just reading carefully) as in this game ..

I don't think that's possible .. but you can cheat using the console .. and simply add the items!?

(if you mean a FULL list like step by step leave a message and I'll try to get around to it). The only one I could get to work was Bao-dur and Diciple (because I haven't tried female yet).. so that's not necessary! but thanks anyway! I partially meant it so that others could see it, and I could see if I missed someone ..

Nice list .. now it would be cool if someone would add one saying where and how you best turn your followers into jedis! "

Now I didn't get around to training anyone in my first game .. but is it possible to train more than one? or if you choose, say, Atton, then you are 'stuck' with him being a jedi?

I *just* finished the game .. and damn that's alot of information! I mean I feel like I have just read a 1500 page book in 5 hours .. (have been playing non-stop, only stopping to sleep and eat, since friday night) I think there are some parts of the game that are clearly under-developed .. but at least the story made perfect sense to me! (at least I think so) :ph34r: "7. After viewing the holocron, I was pretty excited to find out what this mysterious reason for being cut from the force was! Sadly...I never really did find out, well it seems it was because of the devastation at malachor, it was the severing link....the so called wound...maybe its just too obivous, I was expecting a big suprise like in KotoR I with the revelaing of who Revan was..." The reason why you loose your connection to the force is because you chose too .. you were able to make force bonds quicker and better than anyone .. and you had alot of connections to people under your command at Malachor V, when they all died their death and pain was shared by you through the bond .. and while such a thing would kill any normal person, you were able to sever the connection to the force on your own, and thereby stay alive .. but it left a wound in the force, which presented a threat to the remaining Jedi .. but it really bothered me that the game went extremely fast towards the end .. My last planet was Nar Shadda, so I got alot of the characters late .. and I only had the option of training Atton (when he was level 21 already) so I skipped that, since I wanted to train Handmaiden, but I never got enough influence over her! and I never scored any of the girls .. and then all of a sudden it was too late, and I was left without a date or an apprentice! :'( so I can understand why my Exile choose solitude again ... hehe But I really respect the depth of this game .. and the minor issues I have are easily dwarfed when I think of how many times I went "WOW!" (I love moral predicaments) ..

a good space sim game .. something like Freespace 1, where alot of missions were taking place and players advance through the grades of the military, and in the end, if they accept, they can become battle commanders .. where they will guide and plan battles! but not participate .. and then have HUGE battles, with huge capital ships, smaller corvettes/destroyers etc and hundred of fighters .. all controlled by the players! and I choose Freespace 1 because it could be about the beginning of the Human-Vasudan war .. and then it could evovle into Freespace 2 and players on each opposite side (Human/Vasudan) would have to team together against the new (computer controlled?) super enemy (The Shivans) .. or be destroyed if they don't .. THAT would be awesome!! :D

play Europa Universalis II ! it covers European history from around 1400 to 1820 .. but of course combat sucks compared to Total war .. since you have absolutely no control over it! "Does anyone know much about the Russian Empire? I figure with as big an empire as they had going on there's gotta be a good story there" it wasn't 'Russia' until late in the 14th century when the state of Muscovy (under Ivan The Terrible) was able to defeat the Mongols who partially controlled the country and then annex all of his immediate neighbours, giving birth to the nation.. Russian history is quite exciting! but I couldn't really imagine it as a Total war scenario .. on a sidenote this looks like an interesting game .. battles like Rome Total war .. but playing as different ancient cultures and heroes like Julius and Alexander (and in the middle of battle zooming down and controlling your hero in 3rd person and killing enemies yourself)

well Germany was actually close to developing a nuclear weapon! .. so if USA hadn't interfered, Germany would have developed better rockets and eventually would have nuked them.. Hitler already had several teams working on a way to deliever bombs to the US east coast .. But I think America did act in partial self interest! I mean they would benefit alot from saving Europe! .. and they did .. strenghtening the bond, which had suffered a little after WW1, with Europe (and particular England) gave them a good deal of contracts, and when they helped to rebuild west Germany (which also paid off in the end) they had themselves a pack of strong friends who would follow their lead for a good time to come .. allowing them to literally control most of the world .. albeit through politics and diplomacy! but still .. and thus the cold war began ... because Russia did the same thing, although they controlled their 'friends' with guns!

do you need to be a member to see it?? Because I can't find it anywhere on that page you linked to!

^ well remember that Shogun didn't span over several hundred years .. but only a few decades!

Well it covered Japan, and some of it's feudal history .. why not some of ancient China? the only reason Japan was interesting was because of Samurais! I don't think most people knew of, or were particulary interested in, Japanese history .. now that it's an established series I don't think it really matter what time period they do .. I would however (as mentioned before) prefer an Egyptian game, or other ancient cultures! or a Chinese .. it would be pretty neat to follow in the footstep of Qin Shi Huang and unite China (hopefully for a little longer than he was able to) or something similar ..

in the case of WW2 America did indeed sell cheap weapons to England .. for land, England gave up some colonies and gave up some rights and claims to US for alot of ships .. but it was in the best interest of US to keep England in power! because Germany would eventually try to conquer America if they took all of Europe .. I mean Hitler was insane!! he would probably want to conquer the entire world for his "living space" as he callled it .. and Japan also threatened America's little puppet 'The Phillipiens' (or how ever you spell it) who gave alot of natural resources to America.. and the pact they made divided The World up into 3 sections .. Europe (and maybe America) for Germany, Africa and the Middle East for Italy and all of Asia for Japan .. ca of course .. I can't remember how it was exactly! but I fail to see how that is a threat Laozi? that was already established, now the 3 powers just had formalized it on paper! But at the end of the war The Allied grinded Dresden to dust with heavy bombs, and fuel for the fires.. there were no military presence in the town, only industry .. almost the entire population of the city was killed .. they even allowed the Germans to utterly destroy one of England major southern cities, because they couldn't reveal that they had taken the 'Enigma' decoder .. So they didn't do 'the right thing' .. they did what was necessary! and then not to mention the fact that America dropped 2 nukes (just so that it would seem they had more) over Japan, instead of risking an invasion .. killing thousands upon thousands of civilians! women, kids and men .. so there is no 'holy crusade' in war .. it all about who is willing to do what's necessary!

wow .. that guy doesn't like you! :ph34r: so what was it all about? (I got that Nailyboy was a making a FPS mod but anything else worth knowing?)

I've been wondering the same thing! I have been a big fan of the series ever since Shogun .. Since we have covered both Japanese (asian) and European history I think they will look for something else! perhaps a Middle Eastern game next time? focusing on Egypt, Mespotania, maybe Persia or India, or some of the other oldest cultures? It would be a shame if they made a game with a timeperiod after the inventions and widespread of gunpowder .. the weapon of focus should be melee, not guns .. since seeing 5.000+ soldiers/horses charging down a hill is more fun than 100 shooting each other up! at least for me .. Yes those were my ideas as well .. they would seem to be the most logical step! graphic wise, well you won't believe how crummy those 2d blocks actually look compared to Rome TW's 3d rendered units .. :D gameplay wise .. I know quite a few who likes Shogun and Medieval much much more than Rome! So I would say yes it's worth playing, because it really is a great game which still has alot to offer! like Monte Carlo explained .. and Shogun is great as well, and should be experianced! they have alot of very funny clips showing how your assasins kill a target (or fail) .. which I thought was a shame that Medieval didn't include!

oh but it's okay to make money on a WW2 game where the exact same thing happened .. but only for the german soldiers .. because it's been 60 years? because you won? because the germans who fought in the war weren't really humans? you weren't exactly the nicest people in that war either, but as Churchill so elequently put it "History is going to be kind to me, as I intend to write it!" it's never 'alright' .. no matter what war! but that won't stop the games from being made .. and ignoring the issues won't sovle anything either! so why not just make something out of it instead? I play both Vietnam and WW2 games .. and I always keep in mind, the millions who perished in both wars, on all sides! and I take the games as a lesson, a lesson and a reminder of those who came before me, and fought for my freedom and my rights!

"buy a present for yer wife" = best advice so far! but better yet, buy me a decent dinner! I've been living on rice for the last fortnight .. :'( seriously though, when I get some extra cash I just go downtown and look around .. follow my instincts and buy whatever my intuition tells me! it usually turns out to be a good investment ..

I like to play a zealous religious type .. like a crazy druid, cleric or mage.. Mostly I dislike combat and focus on a more diplomatic kinda character (even if I know there will be alot of combat) because that feels more natural to me .. and I like playing with a disadvantage (being old, cripple, mentally ill .. what ever).. guess I'm a very anti-powergamer..

I don't know about that .. smoking weed always make me laugh!

hmm

^ ha! he's great! I've read some of the other reviews, nice to see someone who doesn't give a **** .. lol and try reading the trivia on Imdb of 'Manos the hand of fate' .. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060666/trivia sad or fun? I can't decide ..

wouldn't it be easier to make a new account? and just send an email and ask for your old to be deleted?

jeez .. selling sand in Sahara!

nothing wrong with those views .. a combination of already established philosophies .. but this one could be a little dangerous: "What is good and what is evil? The evolutionary mechanism of natural selection makes an implicit distinction between "good" or "fit" situations (those which survive in the long term), and "bad" or "unfit" ones (those which are eliminated sooner or later). Therefore, we might equate good or higher values with anything that contributes to survival and the continuation of the process of evolution, and evil with anything that destroys, kills or thwarts the development of fit systems." so thereby homosexuals are evil, so are anyone else not fit for evolution (mentally ill, the sick, handicapped etc.) ...
