No, but you are a lousy soldier if you allow that to distract you from your duties. Soldiers are psychologically conditioned to prevent this kind of stuff from happening. This guy seemed like he didn't go to the academy that day. If instead of a soldier, he'd been a farmer, then I would understand.

By crap I mean literature whose quality is next to zero. If these books weren't set in the SW universe, no one would ever read them. A book which is not good enough by itself, is a thrash book, by definition. And no, I wasn't abused by EU in my childhood. I was lucky enough not to run into the Exar Kun fiasco until I was already an adult, so I suffered no permanent damage from exposure to it. I was just saddened to see a saga I liked such as SW be perverted in such a distasteful way. Since from what I read from these posts the books follow the same trend, the further I stay from them, the better. )

Yeah really reading Shatterpoint or Republic series is a real torment - but only if someone is as dumb as you to understand content of any book. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, buddy. If you read carefully I said BOOK, not comic. The Republic series is pretty good, if only because they have to stay consistent with the prequels. You really shouldn't call somebody dumb just because they don't intend to waste their time with crap literature like that. Sorry I hurt your feelings, but that's what it is, like it or not. Oh and one other thing. You are picking on the wrong guy for a flame war.

That sounds nice.

Well, thank you guys. If anything, this thread has convinced me not to ever read a SW book again. I am grateful for the unending hours of agony you have saved me.

I would, but... it buuuurns! :'(

The site doesn't like you. Sorry, it's very picky.

Yeah, so... am I the only one who realizes this guy's only goal is to shamelessly troll? "

Yes. **** is a most offensive expression, just like **** and ****. I am grateful I can't read **** every time someone types it. ^_^

Um, so, if you like it, it's canon. If you don't, then it's a weak argument? Now that's what I call overwhelming logic. Lucas may have written Exar's profile, but I don't think he would give him his uber munchkin

Ok, time for some good ol' EU bashing. :D Yes, it was like... 'yeah, yeah, do whatever you want. Now where's my money?' Supposedly Lucas also had a hand in the creation of those horrid EU books in which Chewie is absurdly murdered. I don't think he would have either of these things in a movie. Lame? No, no. Choking a poor admiral and frying some Jedi wannabe with lightning is not lame. It's reasonable. Draining thousands of beings from their life essence, having a Force cannon for an arm, and brainwashing Jedi in the blink of an eye, now that is lame. Not quite. He did know that Ulic's attack would fail. He didn't seem to care at all, for he didn't prepare any contingency plans in the event of a more than likely republic counterstrike. Palpatine may have underestimated Vader's humanity, but Exar Kun was blind to say the least, or just dumb. Enough bashing for now.

That pretty much sums it up. Good line.

That screenie is taken from a review in which the author was playing a female PC IIRC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you really know how to kill a joke .. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I'm kinda slow today.

We'll see about that. What I really want to know is if you are going to be forced to do stuff with the PC, that some other NPC would be more suited to. Such as repairing HK-47. In my first playthrough I had some crappy repair skills because I had focused other character on that particular skill. I always found it retarded that only the PC could attempt to repair HK. If that is the case, I will have to play LS sentinel, even though I like guardians better. For the DS, consulars own, period.

Jedi Academy, Vampire - Bloodlines, The Ur-Quan Masters (it's a classic, baby), and last but not least Half-Life 2. If you are all for deep, immersive and thrilling storylines filled with plot twists, then this overhyped piece of crap isn't for you. I wish I had known before spending

Now THAT I would like. Uh... eh... to free her from slavery, of course.

As long there is a good game mechanic reason for it as per the rules of Star Wars d20 I say go for it. If not, its just lame. Period. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't care as much for game mechanics as I do for a good explanation. If they have managed to think of some original stories and we don't end up with a level 2 Canderous, it'll be just fine with me. I never liked very much the idea of level 20 NPCs by the end of the game, anyway. However, I can't see how the game is going to benefit from having the same old characters all over again. The cameo idea was cool, but getting them in your party... I don't know.

You do know that there's no differences between the versions (Xbox US and Xbox International). This is just an example of inexcusable customer support by Lucasarts. I won't even touch the subject on why the PC was delayed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought the US version was NTSC and the International one was PAL. Therefore being incompatible between them. If that's not the case, please elaborate.

Or is he? I always thought he was a Vandar.

Well, MCA has already confirmed that NPCs won't constantly torture you with their stories if you don't want to hear them, so I think it's safe to assume we won't be getting a a whiner out of this guy. If it is actually up to the player to dig out his 'secrets', he might prove to be a most interesting character.

If you haven't, you must get the 'Republic' comic series. The Quinlan Vos' subplot is one of the best of the series, IMO.

It's been stated that every character has their own agenda and that they have their own reasons for following you. Most DS characters probably expect to get something out of you or from following you... you can guess what the LS characters expect to get. On to the topic, it seems the RP part of this CRPG is turning out to be pretty good. Hopefully it won't be the only part.

Yes. The ultimate proof of that is their decision to delay the international Xbox and PC versions. Let loose the dogs of war! :ph34r:
