SP wins the thread.

Openly bashing any other company here will get the thread in question locked, at the very least. Even more so with LA, as mods are fed up of people beating that particular dead horse. Not that we'd be missing much, anyway.

Um... there are no "grey Jedi". A Jedi is an adherent to the Jedi code, which neither Jolee nor Kreia were. When people stop following the Jedi code, they become fallen Jedi, darksiders, or something else. They are not "Jedi" anymore. As "Jedi" is for all intents and purposes a religion, once one stops believing in the tenets of the religion, and stops acting on those beliefs, one is no longer "Jedi". Jolee is more like a fallen Jedi, meaning he just does things his way. Kreia is just a crazy old wench, but she never claims to be Jedi or Sith. She's just crazy.

Nope. I don't have that syndrome. I'm more affected by the "I hate kiddy AIM grammar" one, you know.

How about you take the time to write something that actually makes sense? Considering that you are actually asking others to spend their time reading your thread and answering your questions, it's the least you could do.

Is the TSLRP going to do something about those godawfully low-res skinned and modeled Sith Lords and Sith Marauders encountered in the Trayus Academy? I mean, I don't suppose OE intended for them to look like vagrants. Low-res vagrants at that. I believe Nihilus (and his Sith troopers) was supposed to make an appearance as well. But that would not make sense if you ask Visas about Peragus. I don't know if there's enough material to restore his supposed appearance, anyway. Right. fans begging for games to be released sooner always pushes forward the release date, always. The publisher's habit of favoring quantity over quality and the proximity of the holiday season has nothing to do with it, I guess. You're right. It was our fault. But hey, how about we talk about the RP and not the state the game was released in?

It still makes no sense. The kind of corruption represented by the final stages of the DS transitions could only be explained by years of exposure to the dark side. The game is supposed to develop over a few weeks, not even a month, according to G0-T0.

Looks to me that if Hades were to create a "bitch and whine" forum, you'd be number one poster over there. Also, congrats for hijacking your own thread.

You do love those 500+ words per post battles about capitalism with taks, don't you?

Well, voice can be mimicked. And the Insider article claimed that Palps' true appearance was what he looked like after zapping himself with his crazy lightning. Supposedly he was using some Sith Alchemy to keep a "normal" face. Again, his physical deterioration is supposed to be a result of long-term exposure to the dark side. Which makes the K2 hasty DS transitions from a perfectly healthy individual to a walking, rotten corpse rather dumb. And, there are no such things as logic and consistency in SW.

What challenge?

There's a mod for that at pcgamemods.com. I think it's called "subtle DS transitions" or some such. No matter how dark you go, it never allows you past the first transition. It gives you and your party members the "evil eyes", though. You don't see Anakin's face falling off, though, and the sort of transition experienced in KotOR/K2 is much more like Anakin's as opposed to Palpatine's. Also, I remember reading somewhere (it was an excerpt from SW Insider I think) that Palps' state was as much a result of his being very old as it was of his use and abuse of the dark side.

ZOMG! They're everywhere!

Looks like another sorry victim of the Invisible War syndrome! :ph34r:

I'm 100% with you on this one. But unfortunately this is what happens when games become mainstream. Most people don't want/don't have the time to complete the learning curves of old games, which means they don't get to develop any gaming skills. If they didn't dumb down the games, "casual" players would get raped badly in seconds. Which means frustration. That is a no-no, not just in the game industry, but in our culture in general. And since "casual" players are the largest potential market segment, this basically means you and me are screwed for good. Just pray PnP RPGs don't become mainstream. :ph34r:

Casting Charm is a much nicer way of doing just that. I'd even suggest the casting of Goodberries but they don't seem to care about that. Anyway, don't use the poor cowled wizards as an excuse for your virtual psychopathy. :ph34r:

In the plethora of meaningless and useless threads that is WOT, this particular one stands out. Why, you might ask? Well, it's because some of those threads are funny, or at least their authors intended them to be so. This thread fulfills neither of those conditions. All I see here is some ego self-bolstering. While that's not necessarily bad, it can potentially cause others the wrong impression. The impression that the author is becoming an attention whore, or the impression he desires to become a "board celebrity". Mind you, I think you're a nice guy, Child. Even after you threw a tantrum over my cloning your old Eru account ("). But making this kind of threads really does you a disservice. Just my $0.02.

Actually, it wouldn't. If you remember, in the book standard trooper formations were spread over several kilometres, which meant that individual troopers never actually saw their teammates directly. Which is kinda consistent with the kind of firepower each suit boasted. Meaning, that for all intents and purposes, it's every man for himself. That kind of action wouldn't work for a war movie, methinks. Not as it's described in the book, anyway.

I used to try every possible outcome in situations where civilians could die, and in situations where you could reasonably avoid combat. And usually I would choose the less violent option as the "valid" outcome. It goes without mentioning that this style of play entailed really long play times to beat certain games. No longer. Now I just roleplay, and let things just flow. If some random civilian dies because of a stray bullet, it just feels more authentic and adds to the immersion. If I'm roleplaying a good guy, I'll probably try to protect them to begin with, but I won't reload if they die. And if I'm the bad guy, I'll most likely use them as human shields anyway. I draw the line at party member death. But that doesn't happen all that often anyway.

Get the book. (Then read it!) That is all.

I'm tempted to brag and all that, but considering how we almost didn't qualify, I'd better not. Somebody would surely use it to undermine my credibility in some completely unrelated topic or other. You necroposters and archivists know who you are. And since our coach recently said that Netherlands isn't one of the tough teams of the tournament, my faith in his abilities and therefore in our chances has decreased somewhat. I'm with whoever said that the US team is underrated. Not so underrated as to progress past the second round, though. Their group is tough and second place means facing Brazil certain death. So, sorry Commie, but it ain't gonna happen.

Now that's Real Ultimate Power. I don't know if you're referring to the Genesis or PS2 version, but it doesn't matter. Both were hard as hell. Shinobi (PS2) for me. It's got to be the only game I'm actually proud of beating. Yup. I'm old skool.

It seems I was wrong, then.
