not to mention that noone reacted perticuarly different towards you if you were on a clear path to DS .. I mean Bastilla should've been a little mre concerned or someone should've stepped in! You don't see many Jedis turning gray with glowing yellow eyes without anyone reacting on it! of course they did say "this is not the way of a Jedi" but come on .. They should've been a little more worried about one of the strongest Jedi turning DS again ..

with a lighter? don't want to burn my hair .. and besides its pretty long and will probably smell awful, and hurt like hell, if I burn it! I'll be playing Rome - Total war, Pirates, KOTOR and Evil Genuis until TSL comes out ..

okay .. made it into a JPEG and made it look a little more like an ornameted sword! here's the result

maybe Malaks Jedi master died .. ? But the worst one was being able to run around with Bastilla on Taris .. That really annoyed me, so I didn't use her there to keep some kind of consistency! And I really hoped some of the Sith on Korriban would recognice me as Revan, but they didn't ..

"Handmaiden and Visas Marr are two unique individuals. Just to put an end to that speculation. -Akari" so no they are not ..

if that was a reference to me .. then yes, I'm not that good at image manipulation yet! but I'm trying dammit .. I'm trying!

Something like this ? .. well looks corny but a bit more like a sword .. untitled.bmp

I want to play as a Consular/master first .. I like to use force instead of violence!

and how long have you been on the computer today your a funny guy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *shrugs* .. what ever .. It was a stupid post! And this is even more immature than kindergarden .. so call it even?

yeah I shouldn't sink to his level I know .. sorry ..

Rosbjerg, whats your prob. Maybe he thinks it wont be lame. Why do you have to mess with him when he express what he thinks. Go get laid, and stop acting like your a starwars god actually I just got laid .. thanks for caring .. and I'm just expressing my opinion as everyone else! Don't you think it would be pretty unrealistic if everyone you came in contact with would have the ability to become a Jedi? not everyone has force potential you know .. Oh right you probably didn't .. my bad!

I hope not <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why not? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> besides from the fact that it would be ultimately lame .. Not everyone has force potential! and be careful what you say boy .. Hades_One will hunt you down for wanting to have more than 1 jedi in your party .. he's a maaad man!! A MAD MAN!!

Rosbjerg that wasn't polite enough, good try though -Hidden <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well its about all the courtesy I'll extend you .. You know you're just pissing people off and pretty soon you won't get anything else but flamewars pronuncing how stupid you are .. so for your own sake, stop!

I'm mad because your making a topic for every single thing that comes to your mind and your making meaningfull topics drop. you and everyone else .. now I'm asking you nicely XboxSithLord .. Stop making posts about every f***ing thing and start using the search function to look for your answers!

Ulic defeats Mandalore in single combat .. Mandalore wearing his Basilik (or how its spelled) and Ulic with his lightsaber .. Ulic defeats Mandalore and he swears alligeance to him! Ulic then sets off to conquer Corusant with the Mandalorian army in his back, but Exar Kun doesn't think its a good idea .. And says that Ulic will do so without his help! Ulic is defeated and Exar comes to rescue him ..

he was a human. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was a Twi'lek in my game .. And I didn't really like Zaalbar or T3-M4 .. But I don't want to eliminate them! Mission brought some nice youth and optimism to the party! and I really liked Juhani, Carth, Jolee and Bastilla they all were excellent voice acted .. and really felt like complete beings to me .. who was tormented by mistakes in their pasts ..

Its just to give a point of references to "normal" people .. While I do not doubt for a second most people here would enjoy a galaxy 100% populated by aliens and you yourself was an alien most "normal" won't.. And how alien are the aliens of SW really .. I mean everyone looks kinda a human anyway!

but its a powerful tool .. You will feel anger towards the person who killed your mentor .. Its a way to advance and justify your final confrontation! and will draw you into the story in a more personal way .. it has been used alot yes, but simply because it works! if they do it I hope obsidian will do in a beliveable way, otherwise it will feel like a total ripoff of KOTOR1

first of all .. Sci-fi will always have similarites, becuase the have to use some of the same story effects.. 1) prophecy .. This I agree with .. There are alot of similarities here in the balance part! but the messiah and "chosen one" angle could however be inspired from most religions .. To a degree christianity! so I think both GL and FH borrowed this part from other sources .. As the Matrix did! 2) tatooine - Arrakis yes they are both desert plantes .. but I think thats more of a coincidence than plagiarism! 6) Spice in SW? never heard of it .. but this of course doesn't mean its not there and if it is, then I agree with you totally .. because thats too similar to be a coincidence! 7) although this immediatly could stand out as a copy of Dune .. I think both writers were inspired from other sources imo.. In old medieval times twins with opposite sex was regarded as freaks of nature and unlucky because they would only happen because of Withcraft! and twins are to this day regarded as something special .. out of the ordinary! so its an effective way to point out, storywise, that these two will play an important role .. you will always have a great figure fall to evil .. its very common to have a hero fall to "the dark side" and in the end be redeemed .. by his son (or the hero of the story) or by some other means .. 9) similar to 8 10) common to use the Voltaire qoute "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" .. So I think both writers used this as a powerful moral statement, also to use the redemtion angle.. 11) you will always have an elite group that poses a threat under the control of the main evil.. LOTR the ring-wraiths .. Matrix the Agents etc. 13) You need a reason for a good man to fall to the path of evil .. and nothing is more believalbe than the loss of someone close to him! although this could be inspired from Dune, its also a very used story element .. Those I have not commented on I agree with you about ..

also a darker theme is more mature .. As Hades pointed out .. its more real, the world is a dark place! (LS) the point of the story is to make you feel important and give you a sense of hope .. that you can make a diiference! the guide lines of every great story is to prevail through and endless ordeal of hardship! and to come out on the other side stronger .. (DS) you feel you can take advantage of the situation, even though the Sith are bringing the Republic to their knees .. You are strong enough to defeat them all and take over the galaxy! muhahaha I really hope that you can feel the frustration of the Republic and its soldiers .. They must be on the brink of giving up hope .. And everyone should be worried and bitter over the series of events that have lead to the Sith rise in power .. except of course those who can benefit from it! if this is conveyed properly the galaxy will feel very dark indeed!

To a degree .. They didn't have much, only a couple of computers! and if there was any technology left on the planet (which I think is likely) it could only be used through the force.. And the Rakata lost the ability to use the Force along time ago! but the computers might hold blueprints, or what have you, of old ships designs or maybe even of The Starforge .. who knows..

the Sith species died out along time ago .. this is also said in KOTOR, the Sith of this day are the followers of the ideals, not the species ..

well I agree .. but still they should at least be mentioned, becuase it was a big discovery for the galaxy .. if not for anything else then just for continuity! I mean if we discovered an ancient civilization that once ruled the entire earth before us, it would be a pretty big deal! but 5 years later they might not have discovered much of importance, it is a big planet full of mean Rakatan after all!

yeah I know the screen with the dying text is from the Hawk .. But watch the trailer, and when he says "the old republic is crippled bla bla bla" you fly through a Republic ship full of dead bodies .. and its not from the Hawk.. thought that could be the Harbinger perhaps!?

I don't really see them .. Examples?
