You know... if this hasn't actually been refuted by any devs, that has to mean something. I'm gonna hate you for spoiling it but I suppose it's my fault for reading it in the first place.

I don't think it will be a gift from anyone. If Revan/PC were still light during the Mandalorian War, they probably considered lightsabers just tools, so there is no point in awarding the PC a tool. Remember all that Jedi-aren't-supposed-to-have-attachments babbling. Furthermore, if the PC was powerful enough to catch Revan's eye, he should have no problems building his own lightsaber. I myself don't like much the idea of having an uber special saber, it seems a bit cheesy. I'd settle for a unique hilt model (a la Malak).

LOL!!! me aswell also i am very confused =S when will TSL be released in the uk? of course if it is a late release than i just order from internet =D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't recommend it. If you order the NTSC version (US Xbox) you won't have much use for it in your PAL system...

I just can't get enough of your ramblings. ^_^

It has been confirmed, I have seen it multiple times around these boards and abroad that Sion is Kreia's old apprentice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I mean confirmed by some authorized source. 'Supershadow' is not good enough for me. If you could post a link to any dev confirming it, I would be grateful.

Maybe he's just your average cannon fodder who copied the good ol' candyman hairstyle. <_<

I don't think that has been confirmed, it would qualify as a major spoiler.

You weren't forced to take everything.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right, you could take everything, or take nothing.

Nomi Sunrider did that to Ulic Qel-Droma in the EU, so it's not unheard of. Maybe PC was just captured by the Jedi while serving under Revan and since Jedi don't execute their prisoners, they just severed his link to the force and sent him on his way.

Don't sweat it. Where I live the average English level is rather low. It's just that to read some English boards comfortably people need a certain level, otherwise it becomes more work than it's worth. If the only non-English speaking people that write in these boards are a bit knowledgeable, it's only logical their spelling will be good. When I talk to some of my buddies via MSN, I get the feeling our school system should be seriously revised too.

Probably it's just the 'hum?'/'yeah?'/'arrgh!' basic soundset, just like in K1.

Actually I think it's more likely she is killed during your first encounter with Sion, earlier in the game, thus allowing more room for developing the master-padawan relationship with the other NPCs. After all her purpose is to help you regain your connection with the Force, and once that is accomplished, she won't be of much use anyway.

Well... at the beginning of the game you are asked Revan's gender IIRC. If your PC's gender doesn't match your answer... Memory wipe maybe. Gender change... doubtful.

They're probably hard pressed as they are to get the Xbox version out for xmas release... I don't think they will have the time to put together an open public demo. I'd like it though, but I doubt it's going to happen.

For US Xboxers, maybe.

Where did you get that from? It doesn't say anywhere that the level cap has been removed altogether, only that you can go above 20. Which we already knew.

Agreed. IMO it sucks big time when you kill somebody and there is *nothing* left. One of the many nice touches of Fallout was that, when you killed someone, their inventory, whatever it was, was left untouched for you to take (even if they were merchants " ). If you think taking the lightsabers off defeated foes is un-jedi-esque, then by all means, don't. Regarding that I think it would be a nice addition if you could choose what and what not you want to take, instead of being forced to take everything like in K1. In the PotJ sourcebook I read that the Jedi order is responsible for management of surplus lightsabers collected from dark Jedi or whatever. It seems every Jedi was supposed to hand over any lightsabers other than his own, to be put under safe custody. It seems reasonable that the Jedi wouldn't leave such a dangerous item abandoned for anyone to pick up.

I was thinking the same exact thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> firtst person/mouselook. Pc version only (at least, I think so) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And here I thought it was an Xbox-only effect. Maybe that was only in the US version?

Right. Dead zones which neurologists can't figure out what purpose they serve. That's a long way from saying they don't do anything. As you say yourself, they guess they are an evolutionary leftover and have no real function. Since there has never been a recorded human being which used 100% of his brain, there is nothing to compare to. Thus, it's impossible to know exactly how much of the brain is being used. There are two other issues regarding this: First, a substantially greater electrical activity in the brain would raise the temperature inside the skull, effectively cooking your brains. Not pretty. Second, there is no evolutionary explaination for 'unlocked potentials' within the human brain, since we evolved from simpler beings, not from more complex creatures. That, however, is true. There is no way to tell how far can genetic engineering take us. But I don't think it will be through unlocking dormant capabilities, anyway. All of this is going to be cut & pasted elsewhere... :ph34r:

Since it's going to be one of the big quests of the game to recover your own saber, it seems pretty pointless to be good at building sabers. I'd probably go for the 40 extra force points, those really made a difference back in K1.

I agree with Silver, even though I'm the purist as well. If people want to have black lightsabers, they will end having them, be it through legit game items or via mods. It would ruin the feel for me, but not everyone is me. For as long as NPCs and/or enemies don't have black lightsabers, it won't bother me. That is one of the statements most repeated by pseudo-scientists and psyche-gurus. There is no way to thoroughly check how much of the actual brain capabilities are being wasted. Maybe it's true that sentience only takes up to 10% of total brainpower, but nature doesn't give freebies. If the rest of the brain served no purpose or wasn't being used, it would not be there. Sorry, I don't think we'll be force-choking each other to death anytime soon. SW is NOT sci-fi. It's futuristic fantasy. There is no point in trying to methodically explain everything Lucas comes up with.

I'm guessing Visas Marr has the 'Force Seeing' power permanently activated, while Kreia simply has the 'blind-fighting' feat. From a gameplay standpoint it would seem Force seeing allows a blind character to fight without penalties derived from blindness, as well as providing the other advantages mentioned by Mr. Avellone. Blind-fighting probably just removes the penalties.

You just love teasing us don't you? Anyway, thanks for the info snippet. We look forward to your next ramblings!

That seems quite sound to me. It would be nice if the game gave you difficult decisions to make, not being clear which is the 'right' or 'wrong' choice. To me that is the most appealing way to put the whole LS/DS business.

I just hope it doesn't come down to spamming master speed and master flurry... "
